BAH! School has been kicking my ass lately, haven't had a whole lot of extra time to play outside of the usual scheduled events (Dynamis and Salvage).

Which comes to my latest achievement! I have Anu's, Ea's and Enlil's Tiara, which gives me all the rare/ex stuff I need to get Marduk's Tiara! Just need to find time to do about 10 Royale Rambles, and people willing to help me out. I have 460KS so I have enough for all 10 battles and some screw ups.

I'm originally going after Skadi gear in Salvage, but no one else in my group really wants Marduk stuff, so I keep getting the leftovers. Just haven't had too much luck so far with Skadi stuffsfsfs.

As for leveling, I got blm up to 73! :D More than half way to 74 now. I'm working on BST at the moment. One of the hardest things so far is trying to find the perfect camp for the level I am, and everytime I gain a level, the camp changes. At level 36-38 the SSG was perfect for me, starting off on Sahagins then moving on to Ghasts around 37. After that I tried some suggested places on Wiki. Yuhtunga Jungle was a bust, leveling off Goblin Poachers with Soldier Crawler pets. At 39, all the pets (except maybe 2) checked as Tough, and the Poachers were mostly IT, some VT. Probably a better place for level 40. Someone suggested Lycos in the past, at Battalia or Rolanberry, but those were all EP.

But after a lot of traveling and some dying I found the perfect place! Jugner Forest [S] around H-6. As soon as I got there, Land Pugils and Snippers (my pets) checked as EM and Hawkertraps (the Prey) were all T, AND the number of pets to prey was 3 to 1, with lots of space to run around. Couldn't ask for a better spot! Hawkertraps are vicious though, they hit kind of hard, and somewhat fast. Either that or I am paranoid, and they double attack me every chance they get... either way, it takes two pets to kill one, and if I don't have the second pet ready fast I get my ass kicked.

As soon as I get up to 40 I'm heading back to that Yuhtunga camp, to see if it's better at a higher level. The Page 2 Regime for that zone is perfect for that camp. 4 Goblins (any job), and 7 Death Jackets (which were EP). The extra exp, and a refresh would make it heaven!

Haven't messed around too much with Crafting, nor have I purchased that token thing for Mog Sachel yet. But I did do a couple of those new missions. I know a lot of people have already finished them and got their augmented stuff, and almost all for several different purposes, which is a pretty good addition for the game, but for 10 dollars... I can't help but feel SE is just sucking up the last bit of money they can before switching all their focus to Rapture. (Which from the Screenshot looks like an upgraded version of FF11).

Crafting frenzy!

Bumped up Bonecraft to 70, and a friend of mine wanted a signed Macuahuitl+1!


HQ on the first try. But no more after that (did about 11 more I think), which is pretty unlucky since I was synthing on darksday, and new moon. :/

Also got Leathercraft up to 35. Good stuff so far! Battering Rams are a gift from Altana.

Other than that, dynamis kinda sucked. We did bubu, and lost to the boss cause of low numbers. We got him down to like 12% or so, but it became too overwhelming to last long enough to finish him.

But to end on a good note, I finally got an Odorous knife synthed... Now I just need to find people to kill the NM. And Rostrum pumps NM too... I've had that antlion trap forevs. >_<

Scorpion Harness [Veovious]

I have made a signed Scorpion Harness!



I know it isn't a big deal because there are more and more +1's and these NQ Scorpion Harnesses are no long in such high demand, but it is a personal accomplishment!

First Official Post!

AGHLBER!

Aight so, it has been an eventful week in FFXI. Got BLM up to level 70 (yay), and got some neat items to go with it!
Phantom Tathlum (finally)


and Vicious Mufflers.



On the Dynamis front, I got really lucky sponsoring Dynamis-Bastok. 2 100byne bills droped, and 196 1byne bills dropped, which put my through my first stage of Relic weapon.
Malefic Dagger: O



In crafting land, I finally got Leathercraft up to 33 (made all my gil back too farming for ingredients)! Using it as a sub to Bonecraft, so I can sign my own Scorpion Harness, and eventually make a +1 on down the line.

Other than that, Rya likes to love on poles:


And fear the frog horde:

First Post of Justice!

Start with the introductions I guess. To test out the layout of the page and all that junx!

I'm Veovious in FFXI on the Gilgamesh server (let the stalking begin). Like any mithra, I have THF, and RNG up to 75, and also NIN and BRD. Currently working on Monk and Black Mage at the same time, they are both 60+! I don't have too many accomplishments in comparison to a lot of people out there. The only thing I can say is that I have a metric shitton of relic gear. Over 20 including some -1 gear burning my inventory, and accessories from CoP areas.

As far as crafting goes, I have Bonecraft up to 69 (trying to get my apron! :D) and working on Leathercraft (16.3 and counting) as a sub so I can sign my own Scorpion harness.

Here is a picture of my Ranger right after I got Denali body, I look so sexy with my 123123million ranged attack!
