COR and headhunting (FFXI) | Oops, and RL link!

[thistlechaser]

Apparently headhunting has been added into the game, since new NPCs keep showing up in Sandy_S. First we had that Dusk Raven guy, now the father from the RDM AF storyline is getting his emo all over town. He came to help out in Campaign, and his /say macros would make a lolDRK green with envy. Top quote is what he says in battle, bottom when you talk to him in town. His town quote is a rather rough sentence, too. He should drop "happen to", that'd make it read a bit smoother.

Oh, and his sword is pretty darned nice. Anyone know what it's called?

COR is @1,500 to 71. I got better XP than usual today. (A typical weekend day gets me 20K XP, today I got almost 30K.) At my usual rate (10K per weekday, 20K per weekend) I should hit 75 in about a week and a half. Feels like a long time, I'm kind of itching to be done with COR and move on to the next thing. (Story of my life...)

During one Campaign wave I had great fun shooting. Smart/realistic shooting! I was up on one of those tower things, shooting around the edge of the wall. I'd say it was a perfectly safe place to shoot from, other than that mobs can jump up walls at will. c.c

It annoys me that that fellow's name is almost identical to mine in-game.

Isn't he Curilla's father? It's been so long since I did RDM AF that I can't remember.

How the HELL did I get the chimp icon without selecting it by hand?

[quistie.livejournal.com]

Yes, he's Curilla's father.

The chimp icon that selects itself?

[citizenbleys.livejournal.com]

I've figured it out.

I'm actually turning into a monkey.

*offers a banana?*

[pomr.livejournal.com]

Like the one in the pic?

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Invisible banana!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I had to look it up, but he's listed as the father.

[quistie.livejournal.com]

That is a cool-looking sword. I've no idea what it's called, though.

And yeah, that sentence is a bit rough. Maybe a bug report is in order?

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Thinking about the sword, I think one of the kids in the Sandy_S mission CSs has the same one...

[veloxe.livejournal.com]

I'm positive that's an actual sword but I can't remember the name...

*looks around Model Viewer*

Ya, it looks like/is the Hrotti which drops of faffy.

Oh wow, cool! :D Thanks for the info!

[quistie.livejournal.com]

Hey, wait a second. RDMs cannot equip that sword!

What a cheater.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I take it you haven't met the Bastok RDM troop yet. All in RDM AF... and every single one uses a gun. c.c

[southern-hell.livejournal.com]

If your server is anything like mine,if you go to Bastok areas you'll see a lot more headhunter guys, it's been open from the start the other nations just don't seem to win them.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Oh, huh. So how do you get them to join your nation? Just talk to them? Or more?
