FFXI~!

One night I'll have time to edit screenshots, but tonight isn't that night!

Somehow, even though I had nothing to do tonight, I ran out of time before I got it all done. :P

Helped get Dani her GC key, then we so meanly abandoned her behind a gate. Heehee.

Dug in Saur-whatever Champaign (what the heck kind of name is that? Sheesh). Was more going for potential skill than money, though I did get a gold beastcoin. Gold prices are falling so far and so fast on Midgar! Nearly down 50% in four days (20K to 11K, though were 25K a month ago). What the hell? There were like 74 gold beastcoins up in Jeuno, too. I almost bet there's some new bug for getting gold beastcoins for free or something. I have no idea what to do with digging. Logs aren't worth going after, now gold isn't? Elemental ores are out of my reach, so what's left? The deserts/Bubu and hope for a plat ore? I really don't know...

Ding smithing 49! I swear, gust claymores are the best item I've ever skilled up on. A skillup (even .2s!) almost every synth, even within one level of cap. I ended up selling them back to the NPC instead of trying to desnyth them, because in 20 desynths I only had 1 success -- for a piece of ash lumber, ha ha. Getting 1,500 per weapon was much much better.

Tomorrow: Nothing planned, which of course will mean I'll be an hour late logging off and still not have everything done! :D Really want to get cracking on Nai's keys, then we can do Nil's and my last ones.

So wish I could share my desynthing luck with Smithing! u.u I even got .5 total from doing it.

Steel ingots have been a pain thanks to iron sand not stacking, but I got good skill ups 49-51 so far. :)

Heehee, no problem! At least one of us can desynth stuff. :)

Woo! I have to wake up enough to look at my list and decide if I'm going to do that or not. I've found some likely looking items to skill on, all the way to 60! I'll make a post once I know what I'll be doing.

Champaign is a perfectly cromulent word. It means a stretch of open country, and is etymologically related to campaign.

Now, Sauromugue, chalk that one up to a fantasy setting. Though I think it might mean lizard snot or something.

Well, that fits, I suppose. It's a bombed out wasteland, so they should call it that! "Welcome to Bombed Out Wasteland, enjoy your stay!"

You're probably pretty darned close...

I get a better price in Bastok for my gold beastcoins. They go for 14K each in Jeuno - if I'm lucky! - but still hover around 20K per in Bastok.

Yeah, but lately my coins have been getting returned from Bastok. >< At least in Jeuno they usually sell in a day or so. But still: No gold for a while! I'm going to target darksteel for a bit, since I can use that.
