Day off: RL and FFXI

[thistlechaser]

Since the game was down, I got a bunch of things done. Grocery shopping at 9 AM rocks! No one was in the store! And I did laundry after that. (Oops, exhausted, yet I still have to remake my bed.)

Since the game was going to be down, I got up at 7 AM to try to get everything done. c.c Luckily my guild turnin was fast, then visited my chick (he became a teenager today... a yellow fricking teenager), and went digging. Got done in time to get out to Temple Ugg to check to coffers (I've been trying to get a map for two weeks now, but the coffer is apparently stuck behind that locked mission door). Logged off there, so I could check again as soon as the servers came back up.

Was online ASAP once they were up, and checked the coffer spawns. Nothing. >< So I decided to use a trick I read about: Casting a spell on a tonberry through the wall, and it would open the door to come get you. Not only did it NOT open the door, it brought five of its friends (and linked two from the area behind me) through the wall. >< 7 EP-DC tonberries on me. I died. Fast.

Nice nice nice Aurian came out and duoed pink birds with me. It was amazingly fast! No downtime at all! Got my XP back and decided to give up on the damned map. (I feel like I know the zone now, just from all the running around I did trying to get the map!)

After that a Besieged! For limit points! YAY YAY YAY YAY! Undead, ~500 in the zone. 1K limit points! YAY!

Eco and Escort after that (ding SAM 20 and WAR 34 from the scrolls!).

Then killed bunnies to get BLU Nairua (and 5-6 random other BLUs) whatever that healing carrot move is.

Then, finally, sampled the new content. Was exhausted and should have gone to bed, but I get bull-headed about things sometimes. The Hot And Cold chocobo game isn't fun, but can be profitable!

Unfortunately that item was the best item I could dig up, and the market hadn't been flooded on it (only digging item I can say that about), guess that's going to change now. :/

Me digging up the chest. You can find the more technical details about the game in my post to the LJ FFXI comm.

After that took a free teleport to Bastok by giving a kid a gift (so handy) so I could log out there and do my guild turnin in the morning. Happened upon the tree so followed the crowd and got the event item (dream coffer) there. Then logged.

Such a full day! x.x

I have 2 chars and 2 birds, I made 250k on Hot n Cold if my items don't devalue immediately O_o. The best one I got was in Jugner~

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I hope they sell fast then, because I suspect this stuff is going to go through the floor. ; ;

Just tried the digging on Auri and got a Parasite worm~ :9 That's like... 50k. Yay!

[loneguardian.livejournal.com]

Heh, oops, the prices dropped a ton in Jeuno since last week X3 More like 7k now~ Ohwell, better than nothin'!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Aww, but yeah!

Feeling dumb, but how do I start Hot n Cold? Didn't get any option for it when I checked my bird yesterday.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

There should be two new NPCs by your local chocobo stable, one for that Kamp Kwee thing and the other for Hot and Cold. :)

Noooo, not Chocobo Hot and Cold! This game is adamant about trying to suck me into it despite my lack of a decent computer and/or money. It makes me sadface. ;_;

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Awww! Maybe one day you can come play!

And hey, your icon reminded me: Did you see that starting this Satuday dubbed Prince of Tennis is coming to Cartoon Network?

[wanderingscribe.livejournal.com]

...yes. I fear the coming of the dub. I fear it well. Not only will it bring wank, but it will make me use the mute button copiously.

I think it's time to do what I did for Naruto; wait for the DVDs and stay away from any fic that was based on the dub as if it was on fire.

*snerks* Sounds like a good plan to me.
