Month of July – Sha’ir Manteel and Marduk’s Jubbah status
Posted in FFXI on August 19th, 2009 by Aselin – 4 Comments
Yes, yes I know: July updates are long past due. Please forgive me on that, but there is a reason for the delay that I’ll reveal soon-ish.
I’ll most likely merge July and August stuff together in the posts to follow. I am using my screen shots folder as a guide since they’re categorized by month and day. That above is from July 11, 2009.
My LS, Weekdays, had a bunch of Cashmere items– cloth and thread– leftover from our Bahamut v.2 fights but no Goldsmither in the LS high enough to make the Manteels. It was decided by the sacks to craft them into Sha’ir Manteels and hand them to our members at 100 points each. Honestly, it is a nice trade off. For 100 points one earned in the LS, you get in return probably the second or third best Bard body there is without having to pay 4 million Gil (the current average price on Bismarck server). Myself and a few other 75 Bards in the LS were picked to get the first ones crafted. Again, thank you to Weekdays for the Manteel; it’s been one of my most wanted Bard body armors I’ve wanted since it was released. My interest in it waned a little when Salvage was introduced and after getting Kirin’s Osode. With this, it’ll tide me over until my Marduk’s Jubbah is completed.
Two of a kind…

If ever wondered why in a lot of my screen shots I don’t look like my original character model, Hume F 4A, then that picture above pretty much explains everything.
A little over a year ago, I found that DAT mod for my character on FFXIDATS.com. Now, I am not that heavy into DAT modding, though I find a lot of them to be anywhere from impressive to just plain… weird. I’ve been black hair, brown eyes for four out of five years in this game, and since I’m the kind of person that gets bored easily with one thing if it’s gone on for so long, I decided to change it.
A day of small surprises

That was the first surprise I got yesterday at Dynamis – Qufim. I placed a bid of 15 points earlier but the two people who wanted it before me weren’t online. So, guess what? I get to lot on it since I was the sole lotter for it and I beat another LS mate by 5 points for it.
Wyrm Belt dropped, but I passed it to the next person on the bidding list. ^^ It’s more fair than getting two items the same day. And, the other person is Dragoon more often than I am as of late. I do wish still I could use Dragoon more.
ToAU Mission 44 (*spoilers*) (and one other thing…)
Posted in FFXI on July 5th, 2009 by Aselin – Be the first to commentI helped my friend Chemo with ToAU (Aht Urghan) mission 44 and what struck me as odd was how efficient the fight went. This was the first Japanese mission fight I’ve done for ToAU, but I’ve joined other Japanese players for CoP (Promathia) and Zilart missions before. However, when I compare this fight to the many North American (NA) mission 44 fights I’ve done before, the Japanese players really know what to do and do it well.
