Hat hat hat! (FFXI)

[thistlechaser]

YAY! :D :D So happy! And it matches the frac! Same silvery grey color on the hat's bandana as is on the frac's scarf. :D

Almost as good as actually getting the hat: I don't have to spend every second of Dynamis in fear that I'll crash and lose out on it. :P

We also tried the Dynamis Lord, but it didn't go as well. He did that bad TP move, Oblivion Smash, twice with no delay between them, just totally back to back. Killed nearly every single melee, and that was about the end of that.

Just need the boots now and I'll be 5/5! We're starting a tour of the cities next, so hopefully I'll get them then! And hopefully we'll do Dunes again soon and get the belt! (But not too soon, don't want to miss out while I'm on vacation. :P )

I have such a headache now, but it was worth it! :D

Edit: With all that good, I forgot the bad of the day. Welcome to goldsmithing, where you can lose 500K in one synth...

This is the second time Chaser has done that, too. ~.~

"Killed nearly every single melee, and that was about the end of that."

I'd just like to point out that I'm the reason he had to say "nearly". Last man standing, oh yeah.


Yay hat!

*snickers* True!

And yay hat!

For 99% of my time in FFXI I have NOT had over 500k. And in one synth you managed to lose it all... I'm going to go cry in a corner how.

Grats on you hat though *sniff*

Things like this are the reason I'm not rushing to level some synth or other above 60. (I've only got 3 skills at or near 60 anyway...) I sometimes get pissed when I fail even a low-level synth. I can't imagine the effect of watching something potentially very expensive blow up. ; ;

He did that bad TP move, Oblivion Smash, twice with no delay between them, just totally back to back.

Honestly, I hate fighting DL for exactly this reason. It's too random. You can have the good setup, good positioning...and still end up face down in the snow.

Those aside: Yay hat!

Yeah, that's the reason I generally don't recommend goldsmithing to anyone. Would you believe that that was a skillup synth? And that to get to 100, I'd have to do multiple levels of those rings? It's insane. My gold mule is 94.9, I'm just trying to get that last .1 before she quits forever.

And yay, thanks! :D

You should become one of my mules! They generally have a good amount of gil on them. ;)

And thanks! Yay!

Unrelated and politcal: Did you see this? X) http://www.usatoday.com/news/offbeat/2008-10-14-baby-politicalname_N.htm

Yes, and that's a horrible thing to do to that poor kid! (Not to mention, the mother!) The name they had picked was really pretty, too. :/
