zzzzz (FFXI)

Sleepy, sleepy. Been a bad week sleep-wise.

Started with assault (13) x3 (folks forgot to grab an extra tag *waggles finger~*). Went okay. Hate was messy with only one dispeller but we never died so that's okay. Finally we're all done with the area! Yay!

Made bullets for an hour or two. Then hey, since I had them, went XPing COR. I'm getting tired of XPing. (I'm really rather surprised I lasted this long.) Went from 20-22. Gun! Yay! Can't hit the broad side of a barn! Boo!

I wanted to take COR to AF level because the AF is so darned sexy (especially on my model), but when would I wear it? Anytime I don't have to be otherwise I just stay as BRD for the ego boost of invites every 20 minutes or so love that is Mazurka. Nothing, not even sexy AF, beats how handy Mazurka is.

Tomorrow's my first night off on-game, which I was going to go XPing in, but meh. Who knows. What I really (really really really) need to do is make money. How many weeks has it been since I stopped GSing/making money/etc? And my money is exactly the same amount as it was. Blah. I keep thinking I should go back to digging, but... meh. We'll see tomorrow.

You need ranged accuracy! Get some rings or something. :) I always load up on it because hume's have issues.

So hawt.



Re: Mazurka... Just level COR to 75 and you can sub BRD! >:D

And better yet, he knows someone who can make these. :DDDD

Mmm muffins! *gnaws on Dani's head~*

I'm not sure about eating a 3 hour food in a random party, but maybe when I get higher!

That'd just be raptor mazurka though, which is a joke next to chocobo mazurka. :D

I've joined only one party (in the dunes, of all places) taking my RNG to 32. The rest of time 1-21 was solo, 22-25 duo with THF, 25-32 duo with RNG. Yesterday I took RNG from 32-35 in a JP pt, and was a bit skeptical about the food as you are, but luckily the party lasted something like 4 hours.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I started poking at the AH last night, but was too sleepy to figure much out. I'll do it today!

Your racc issue really isn't going to start straightening itself out until 28-30 when you can use archer's knives and wear noct. Once you hit the levels to wear them you might want to switch over to /nin rather than /whm so that you can wear two knives. Rings probably won't cut it at this point and your racc will continue be around 50%ish at best :/ RNG has the same issues, only we get bows and ammo that compensates to a degree. Another cheap racc food is bleugreen sautee (I think that's the name of it), which is probably more appropriate for your level than what's already been mentioned. It's a 3 hour food, but it's also disgusting cheap to craft. Like bleupeas and selbina butter :x

I thought % based food isn't as well suited for low levels since there isn't much of a base racc to begin with? For the same reason that rice dumplings and jack-o-lanterns trump sushi for pure acc until one gets enough base acc for the calculations.

An alternative to the flounder if black sole gets too expensive to throw around is eyeball soup (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Eyeball_Soup). Also lasts 3 hours, and gives acc/racc instead ratk/racc.

With flounder I had no problems at all against IT worms, no parser but probably 85%+ racc pre-sharpshot. Granted, that's RNG, but COR still gets B in marksmanship.

Also, if you decided to solo/duo, it's probably better to /NIN after 24 for shadows.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was eyeing eyeball soup, too! (Ha ha.) But last night I was just wishing for cookies: I've been doing COR/WHM mostly (because rank 1 WHMs tend to suck), and so I run out of MP fast. :/

I can't wait. Last night was just stupid. I only landed 2 WSs out of 20. That was just embarrassing. Finally I just stopped shooting because it was throwing bullets away for nothing.

Rings probably won't cut it at this point and your racc will continue be around 50%ish at best :/

Yeah. I switched over to HQ beetle rings, but saw little difference. At 25 I can wear my republic subligar (I believe that has racc on it), but I really just need to hold out for 30.

Like bleupeas and selbina butter :x

But... but... blue peas are so rare now! If only they'd introduce some daily event we could do to dig them up in chests! :P
