Time to play house! (FFXI)

Less fun: Merit #5 tonight = third upgrade of Snake Eye for COR. Yay! However, 50K XP for a 2:30 reduction in recast of an ability makes me go :/ .

More fun! I got lots of new stuff for my mog house!

First off, here's the Reliquary turned around the right way. *cough* Much better than backwards! (The chest behind the mannequin.)

Second: Leather pot! I was intending to make it myself, but it needs a rare hide (ENM drop) and some expensive stuff, and for some reason it was a ton cheaper to buy pre-made. Odd! Maybe people made it and then thought it was ugly? I like how it looks...

Third: I splurged way too much and bought a Credenza. 250K. OW. It's not quite as cool as I had hoped, but it's still pretty nice. I hadn't thought I'd ever have one, since it takes Jacaranda Lumber to make it (also goes into Thalassocrat/Bahadur), so when I saw it at the AH I grabbed it. I would have saved money if I had made it myself, but it would have been a risky synth with a 100K+ item, so I'd rather not gamble. (Log to lumber is wood 100+, FB is 95. The Credenza synth itself is wood 84.) It's probably not worth the price, but since I can't level FB further, I decided to splurge.

Fourthly: Over the weekend I asked drusies_pet to make my Sandy tea set! Yay cookies! I like the Bastok tea set better, but the Sandy one is nice, too. Saved money making it over buying it, even though it took an angel stone. :/

And since we're on the subject of money, two years ago today:

OWWWW. *cries* It pains me so much to see how the value of all of my armor and stuff has fallen. Bah. :(

What's that sword and shield thing on the wall in the credenza picture? =x

What's that item behind the leather pot, standing next to the wall-fleece?

I like the pot, too. Wish I wasn't so lazy (read: I hate muling) and could make my MH more decorative than functional.

This one? (http://www.hot-hot-hot-catlove.com/ffxi/06-07-2008-Wardrobe.jpg) Wardrobe. :)

And yeah, much of my safe is taken up by all this stuff. I wish there was a way you could be functional and decorative...

Shield plaque! It was one of the first things I got that I had really really wanted for my MH. :) (We had one in my RL home when I was a little kid, so I thought it'd be cool to have one in my game house, too.)
