Recently a good friend and valuable LS member, Pasquale announced that he was going to be quitting FFXI for good. He has been playing for a couple of years, and had quit and come back a few times but this time around he had said it "was for real".
Its always a little sad to see good people leave the game, but I guess everyone comes to that point eventually when the game just doesn't give them the enjoyment they're looking for and then there really is no point to playing... because after all, games are meant to be enjoyed in your free time.
Anyways, while I had been in Dynamis last tuesday night (lost yet another lot on PLD gear... the feet which now makes me 0/4 on PLD drops in 6 months *sigh*) Pasquale had sent me a /tell to say goodbye. He mentioned to me that he would be sending me his Royal Cloak (HQ of Vermillion Cloak) and that he wanted this to be sold and split amongst LS members. He also sent a gift of 900k to me which was extremely generous and in the end gave me reason to make an impulsive buy which i'll explain next. I thanked him and told him I would follow through and sell the cloak and make sure to let the LS members know it had been his gift to them. And after that, he logged out of FFXI for the last time with a /tell saying that TheBrotherhood had been the best LS he'd been apart of. He'll be missed for sure :(
So, now with Pasquale's gift and my own gil I had been saving up and farming for the last month, I now had just over 1.5mil. I had wanted to get myself a Terra's Staff to help with both tanking in Dynamis as well as my enfeebles on Gods in Sky... however the price had gone up by 200k -_-.
So instead I decided to pour it all into a Vermillion Cloak. Yup. That ugly red hooded thing that gives you refresh! I figured it would be useful when i'm main healing for a cannon/merit pt on my RDM, resting on any mage job and also eveeeeeeeeeeeentually when I get my SMN up, I could use it then too.
Of course this now meant that I was broke and would need to put more energy into farming again because Xean has a bunch of NIN gear that I'd like to get him. But it was nice to be able to just impulsively spend a big chunk of gil, because in that instant "gil didn't matter". If only that second could of lasted forever! (Thanks a ton Pasquale ^^)
On to other important things.... Me and Xean finally got lvl 67 on our NIN and WHM last night. We were invited to a party on Mount Z, and at first the dmg output and xp we were gaining was pretty bad. Our RDM was 2 lvls higher than everyone else, which was probably the main reason though. But eventually one of our DDs and the RDM had to leave, and we invited 2 replacements. Our RDM replacement was our very own LS member Terminataru, which we've been randomly getting to party with every few lvls since lvl 50, when we first met him in Quicksand Caves and invited him to TBH, and our DD replacement was another MNK closer to our lvl.
As soon as the replacements were invited and we starting partying, the xp picked up quite a bit. But it was at that point that Xean had noticed he had been without Sanction for the first 2-3hrs we had been lvling! So he went and grabbed sanction and then after about another 3k xp he finally caught up and hit lvl 67.
So now I think i'm going to try and lvl my clothcraft up which is currently sitting at lvl 7. I plan to get all my crafts to 60, but I'm going to take them slowly to make profit where I can, and make sure not to dip into my savings. Maybe i'll have a little time to get a lvl or two before sky tonight... and speaking of that, lets see how that goes.
