Screenshots and RL

So very tired. Neighbors kept me up until after 2 AM (they're getting so bad >< ) so I only got three hours of sleep last night. It could be worse, Friday night they kept me up until 4 AM. (Who the hell runs the dishwasher at 3 AM? Garbage disposal at 4 AM?)

Thanksgiving is Thursday. I really need to get some sort of food to make... though I suppose I need to figure out what to make first. Bah.

Heroes is on now, but I'm so tired it's a challenge to focus. Plus I'm LJ posting at the same time. :P

FFXI screenshots!

I tried to get a good shot of it, but it's hard to do that for WSs. Decimation! Spinning's fun!

The win from the Pirate's Chart fight:


And lastly, my house! the ugly half: Stacks and stacks of screens. Ugly screens. But the good side actually looks better than it used to! It actually looks like someone could live there... assuming they were willing to jump over the end of the beds to get into bed. :P Two of my mannequins can't be displayed though, blah.

Tomorrow is BRD static. We should be hitting 66! So strange that it's my second highest job...

Oh, and a year ago today I got my o-hat! So funny to see me back then, no hat and using a scythe. c.c

I remember our O-hat runs. Our very first run each fight took like 30 min. We had 23 some people. I wasn't even 75 at the time and was part of the Add PT that didn't have any mage support. We would wipe on the first run. We used nin tanks and the tanks turned away when the Hakutaku turned in their direction.

Later on, our fights lasted less than 10 min. I think this was partially due to merits. But we always had to wait the longest for the repop of the ???. That was a pain.

Ha, yes! That's just how our runs had been. Took 28-30 minutes, and I wasn't he only non-75 there.

Actually I was just looking it up, and apparently the elemental strenght might not affect skill mogenhancements? (That's what the guide on somepage says for example, that it affects element ones, desynth, gardening and fishing but not experience or crafting skill ones...)
Sooo, now I am thinking I might not need to get 101 earth strenght for overwhelming at all.. What do you think? Did you do any test yourself with your crafting one with weak vs overwhelming strenght? I definitely found overwhelming fire mogenhancement noticeable but I suppose the crafting one might just be a straight +1 crafting skill and that's it regardless of strenght? (it's like that for experience mogenhancement for example).

That's how I understand it. You need at least weak (in other words, it has to be the energy your MH has), but other than that it doesn't matter, it's always worth only +1.

In my case, I needed weak ice energy and to see the 'moghancement:leathercraft' message. When I took out an item and lost my ice enegy to light or fire, it switched over to Sandy conquest.
