I discovered Powder Boots.

This is going to be a very expensive addiction.

How long is the "casting time" on those? Like, more than a few seconds, or almost instantly?

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment

It's fairly quick, but it's not instantaneous like when using a JA.

The recast time is what kills it.

-Officially got a Ukon (80). @15/50 Itz Scales or 85.

Figured the best way to solo Tunga’s KI is to amber farm for it. seems to take the same amount of time to do that oppose to killing him 2-4 times for a lucky KI drop.
Any suggestions on Gold chest farming it Attowa?

I’ve been going pup/rdm and ambering trees at first (they give double amber), then just hitting chigoes or mandies.
Use Dagger (AE), with Smiting Blow, Ultimate and MM Atmas.
Phalanx/Ice Spikes then grab a bunch. Probably due about 1300 damage per mob with ~100% tp.
(let me know if you have a better solo method)

-Finished a friend’s GS empy to 85 as well.

-Couple VW clears

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment

I was able to give away gear/gil to my remaining in-game friends before I deactivated my account over the weekend.

When my wife and I first started playing the game, a stranger gave 100k gil to her 'to help a newbie out' (gogo mithra?). I decided that I wanted to do something similar.

I also remember the good ol' days of running around various zones and PLing random people.

I set out in Windy and the Sarutabarutas looking for a noob. I wandered through both zones without finding a single person. Next, I hit up the dunes, thinking of the old days where I'd spend my time just PLing random groups there for funsies. I was able to find a level 30 WAR without a subjob, so I offered to help them get their subjob items and gave them 200k when they got their last item. I didn't feel like going to babysit an alliance in Gusgen, so I kept looking in the dunes. Eventually I found a trio that seemed grateful for my assistance. I spent an hour doing the healing and gave them each 150k with instructions to "pay it forward". Made me feel good. Makes me wish I would have spent more time helping other people instead of waiting in my mog house for friends/LS mates to log on.

I played the game for more than 7 years and spent ~$2500 on it. I was logged in on my main for more than 717 days (quite a bit of overnight/AFK time in there). I felt that it was time to move on.

I never felt that I was rich. I always had reasonable gear for my jobs, usually the best NQ stuff from the AH. By the time that I cleaned out my mules, and sold most of my stuff for 1/2 price in Port Jeuno, I was able to give away almost 30 mil gil! I'll keep in touch with my in-game friends through facebook and XBL and we'll continue our gaming adventures elsewhere.

Thanks, FFXI for all the fun!

I'm sorry to see another player go, but that's the way to do it.

Agreed. Go out in style.

So when are you moving into the DiV retirement home with the rest of the regulars?

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment

Well in contrast to Truece who is leaving his FF XI, I am still beginning mine. I took up an apprentice Taru. He's a joy to be with, although he's new he learns quick. I've taught him several things about the game already. Gave him a few quizes to test his knowledge.

I guess since I am speaking for him, his accomplishments thus far.

-Gotten to Level 30
-Gotten his Subjob

We're now working on his Chocobo Quest and his Airship Pass, he wants to take up Samurai. I see a future Tsumakiri in this one possibly. Maybe not as great as him, but one can hope.

Makes me proud to be a teacher on XI. Although not as polished in knowledge as I wish to be I do know enough to help out basic newbie players, that enough is reason for me to try to learn more about the game.
