Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment

I've been trying to find a good guide I can understand on gardening... you have any leads you could toss my way??? I just started farming Tree Cuttings and B. moss out in ZiTa, and would like to make more gilz any way possible.

I use a combination of Pikko Pots and FFXI Wiki. For FFXI Wiki, you search by pot type. I been using earthen pots and 1 arcane pot for sapling production (Note: I get have been getting at least a stack when harvesting from all the pots). After a few days of research it seem that porcelen(sp?) pots are the most optimal pot for making the quickest selling elemental ore (Lightning and Dark).

To Mezlo:
Is the gardening success rate of elemental ore low? I see on ffxiah.com that 1 elemental ore is approximately the same price as 12 saplings. If the rate is less than 8-10% to produce elemental ore then it wont be worth the effort.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment

yeah, for me the average harvests it takes to get a light or dark ore was around 20ish. sometimes it was even more. I was following pikko pots.

I got them because they were cheap and give a 1/4 chance of making saplings. There maybe better pots for sapling production.

Farmed NW Apollyon solo for the first time as SCH. Not that it's really an "accomplishment", and I only got 8 coins out of it. I really wanted 10, and almost got 10. I was literally like 2 seconds away from finishing casting Thunder IV on a wyvern mob. But, eh, it's a first time and I haven't responded to this thread in a while. I didn't die even once, so I guess that could be an accomplishment.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment

I farmed like a madman this weekend outside The Boyahda Tree. I'll proly try and grow some saplings sometime but atm... I'm just going for however I can line my pockets with gilz as quick as possible. AH prices on Moss plummetted to just about 7k as I was trying to sell so...

Took my mule Yodaa to Selbina (getting Bubu OP on the way) and that lil dude has hero fame now... and will continue NPC'n that moss even tho he doesn't need more, unless the price goes back up to 8.5k+. Other players fame be-damned, I neeeedz the AH spots for things I can't NPC like that. Think I NPC'd about 150-200k in Moss whilst AH'n the Tree Cutting stacks all while. Woulda been more had not gone to EmeraldCityComicon this weekend.. but that was a real blast and a nice break.

So... finally back up over 1mil again.

Another accomplishment was not crying when I'd seen someone had bought a Hagun on Hades AH for 500k... yeah... 500k!!!!!! I low-ball that damn thing several times a visit, yet I missed the one time some ijit puts it up for 1/2mil /sigh.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment

Well... I stocked up on AH-wares and wasn't gonna sell them anyways on Hades AH as it was too close to the merger and when I checked AH.com, Cerby sells them for like 8-11k more, yay. Think I also reached the 1/2mil mark on NPC'n B.moss, lmao. Maybe more now... I lost track but my Windy-mule is one famous lil dude...cept in his own land.

I spent all yesterday getting OPs mainly... On Hades, Windy hasn't gotten Gustaberg in like 4(+) yrs so there were trains of tarutaru and mithra trecking around yesterday. The tally gave em that one along with some of the harder OPs to get so I decided to switch allegiances from Sandy and also get my Windy-mule some tasty OPs.

I got Araganeu, Qufim, and Gustaberg for my Windy-mule and on my main I got Sarutabaruta, Araganeau, Qufim, Kuzotz, Gustaberg, Fauregandi, and Vollbow. Got Windy 1.1 and Lure of the Wildcat: Windy done as well while I was waiting on Airships and VanaDays. Best part about this is that when we merge, I'll have all of Cerby-Windy's OPs to get as well... so quite a collection right off the bat and not having any OPs was what I was really gonna miss when I had them all for Sandy. Tho... I'm hating how short Signet lasts now, damnit. Missions are gonna be a chore... those tarutaru in the CSs are far more vocal than Sandy's Wowey-Zowey citizens-wittizens ... er... -aru.

Helped a buddy get Savage Blade on my Kuzotz OP run. Right before I passed out last night I rearranged my MH to fit the Windy-look as well. I wanted to head to White Gate to see if there was /panic in the streets but was just too tired.

Tonight ... I do laundry, watch The Hangover, and play Demon's Souls until POL lets me in...

Astral Burns on a low population top-heavy server apparently are more than enough to throw the conquest balance in Gustaberg, and to some extent Lower Elshimo since Yuhtunga seemed to be somewhat popular on Fairy. Unfortunately on Fairy, Sandy was repeatedly dominating in Kor. Tunnel, and Windurst in Yuht. Jungle.

I heard that right after the merge was announced, Windy had taken Gustaberg on Sylph. Maybe they'll have done it again last week. I'll happily pay 48k gil to get that OP warp, then switch back to Sandy to help others in my LS finish up the missions.

Bastok took both other starter zones honestly last year, so I have both of those under Bastok alliegiance.

Yeah.. I woulda thought SMN burns would have more Windy people .. being a caster nations per se. But, on Hades, when Basty didn't have their front yard it was owned by Sandy ALOT. Didn't know Sandy would be so into SMN burns. Idk, really but I know people that really lit a fire under themselves when they saw Windy on the rise... Windy peeps lowbie-lvl'd all Saturday .. I even heard of some possible MKP'n. I know a buddy of mine who turned in a ton of gear the night before too.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment

When we were doing them, most of us were Sandy residents. Me, CK, Stan, Chubbs, were all astral burners and all from Sandy. Of course, that was way back when the astral burn thing first emerged, but really a good bit of our LS was made up of people from Sandy. I think Del and Ski, Alalriko, just a bunch of people all from Sandy were doing them. We did get a ton of conquest points. Was kinda awesome, getting conquest points while getting merits. lol.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment

Sold three Patriarch Protector Livery for 100K each. These are the new WoTG equivalent of the Federation Aketon, even using the same 3D model. And while they require a medal rank in campaign, they're only 10K AN.

I have to wonder if something about the description in Japanese is even more confusing than the English description which merely says "In areas under Windurstian control", and doesn't specify that these are only for WoTG areas. I've been getting the sales overnight in Rolan-mart, so it's probably JPs buying, and just now in Lower Jeuno, someone's level 1 mule bought one and promptly venom-potioned back to Port Windy.

I think 100K gil is a pretty fair price for the seller considering that 10K AN is so easy to get, especially when you've reached Medal rank. And thanks to Retrace, it takes almost no time to get a new one and bring it back to Rolan-mart. It's a lot better than spamming Iron Ram Shields for less than 1:1 gil ratio and a lot of walking. But I've heard of people selling them for 200K, so I'm jacking my fourth one up to 125K.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment

All the dyna-lands were taken cept the dreamlands last night when we looked. We didn't have enough people last night for a clear so we went into Valkurm just for farming. We did pretty damn well and not many snaffooz. We went in without any Thiefs and we got several drops including....


BLM belt
PLD hat -1
RDM hat -1

... the leader happened to not be able to log on for some reason... he's gonna be sooooo pissed that RDM -1 dropped and he missed it. My buddy is now 6/6 on BLM... woot!
