Campaign round-up (FFXI)

[thistlechaser]

Total XP made today: 9K
Total AN made today: 8K-ish
Total hours: 5-ish

Fun, but very very very tiring. Got a merit yesterday and one today, which is some kind of record for me.

I'm going to have to figure out some way to take a break for me, because 12+ hours straight tomorrow of this crazy 'jump from zone to zone' Campaign will kill me. :P

Screenshots tomorrow, maybe.

I'm actually almost wanting to do Besieged just for the wait -- I can sit there and do nothing, let the mobs come to me! Loving campaign for how different it is though, never know how long the attack will be, what mobs will come, how many times I'll die, or what reward-range there will be.

It strikes me that I'm working thousands of times harder for this XP than if I partied, but I was never bored even once tonight and I get bored with XP in minutes. :)

zzzz

I noticed the same thing: slower, but non boring, and when I get the urge to go smoke, I can nip out between campaigns.

It's a great way to kill time while LFG. I got almost 6k tonight while doing that. A couple epic battles at Karugo-Narugo netted me 720 & 740 xp apiece. It's still not as epic as Besieged though. I'd still drop whatever I was doing to catch a Besieged. Campaign is more like "Okay, I don't have anything to do, I make as well make some xp." And it's fun!

If you need that besieged-ish break so that you are actually waiting for one just find your favorite zone, and afk there until a campaign starts. I made an entire merit yesterday and about 7k points by sitting in Jugner and watching movies until I heard the music start up then I was off to the races!

Yeah! That was a good idea, I spent most of yesterday doing that. Yay!

It's not as epic, but still feels important in sort of the same way. Beastman attacking! We have to stop them!
