Post your FFXI goals of the week!

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

Thanks for the bump on this thread guys. It reminded me of a few things I wanted to post.

Goals for this week:

- Finish WotG Missions (On the final fight with Lillith)
- Finish WotG Windy Quests (Currently 10/13 with 3 fights to go!)
- Finish ACP for my Increased Movement Speed+/Elemental Siphon Pants. Hell... to... the... yes.
- Pick up my Garuda Staff trials again. The recent changes to the Empy trials for it have given the +3 version -12bp timer. This effectively caps my -bp timer as long as I'm wearing my Tieris' Cloak along with it. You can't beat that. Unfortunately, it will render my Caller's Earring useless on Garuda
- Continue to grind Nyzul Isle like I've been wanting to for a while. (currently at floor 20 and I already have the Gun/Staves/Katana at the ready... I just need floor 100... because lets face it... I'm not in this for 8000 WS to get any of those WS)
- Re-cap Dagger/Marksmanship/Great Katana
- Work on capping Staff/Club/Sword
- Finish the final 150 WS points for Savage Blade and fight the NM to unlock it
- Get the Serpantes Cuffs to complete the set so my WHM isn't walking around in only the Feet (the harder of the 2 pieces to get)
- Farm more of the seals to complete the following pieces: WHM Hands, WHM Feet, PUP Hands, PUP feet, PUP Body, PUP Head
- Farm up a pair of NQ PUP AF3 Feet
- Finish upgrading at least one of my Sekka +2's into a Sekka +3 Evasion Katana (It might only be +1 AGI and +2 Damage... but damn it I dumped 23/40 Breeze Geodes into it already and I freaking want it)
- Start working on the PUP AF1 equipment quests
- Dynamis San d'Oria win
- Begin working on MKD
- Collect my Soulsoother Head from the NPC in WG tomorrow to be finished with the Puppet frame upgades
- Take revenge on Ob for allowing me to solo him down to 2% health and then romping on my NIN with a cheap-ass move that wiped my shadows and 1 shotted me.
- Take more pictures to increase my Zeni stock for higher tier pops
- Participate in my first Voidwatch fight
- Get a T2 Voidwalker pop item in preparation for my Kannagi trials yet to come
- Complete my Briareus pop set to match my Sobek pop set... also in preparation for my Kannagi trials yet to come
- Get a T2 Voidwalker pop for Abyssea (currently 0/54... wtf?)

I have a feeling... and bare in mind it's just a feeling. I don't think this is going to happen in a week. Just sayin.

That would be a busy month, let alone a week.

That would be a busy month, let alone a week.

If I had a group of 3 other people apart from myself... I could complete half that list in a weekend. The trouble I'm having is finding even 1 person for even 1 of those things.

This could all be done in one VERY busy weekend.

Who said I had play time? I'm saying IF I HAD THE PLAY TIME and the help I needed... I could totally do that in a weekend. Ha... you think I have that much time to play. That's adorable.

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

Romyro's recent success at building a Gutler has got me started thinking about building something of my own, but I can't decide what.

I don't really want any of the Empyreans, with the exception of maybe the gun for COR if I ever get around to leveling it.

Relics seem like they'd be doable, but getting the full effects of the polearm would leave me using a weaponskill that I understand to be inferior to Drakesbane. While I would love to have an Excalibur, I don't feel I'm comitted enough to RDM melee to make it a worthwhile investment.

The obvious choice is of course to build a Ryunohige. But I don't even have Salvage unlocked or know anything about it, and don't have anyone to run with, not to mention it's the most grueling and difficult kind of weapon to build.

Maybe I can convince my Nyzul static to do some Assaults and then trick them into doing some Salvage runs...

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

My goal right now is just working on a fake Farsha. Sad, I know.

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

I'll be taking WHM to 50 by this weekend, just because. Subsequently, I shall restart my Tiger-poaching on the PLD saddle.

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

My goal ... which I don't have time for atm... is to catch up to my LS in WotG Sandy. Got the fishing bit done last night. Last one was really giving me problems cuz the lag was making the visuals not line up with the gameplay. The rod would move to the right and I'd push my stick to the left but I'd lose ground with the fish. Was really frustrating. All I can say is the Halcyon cut it down to a do-able rate over what I used for the other two KIs (Composite).

Go on...

I wasn't sure how long it would take but I knew this phalic reference might draw you out, Yyg.

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

Fun activity suggestion: Watch any episode of Winnie the Pooh and infer sexual innuendo in between the lines. It makes any dull afternoon wildly entertaining.

Also... another fun suggestion that got me through a lot of boring afternoons when the internet went down in college: Split your cable between 2 televisions and watch any show that targets children under the age of 10 on mute. Turn the other TV onto the War/History channel and face it away from you so all you can do is hear it. Enjoy.

Picture an episode of Winnie the Pooh where Rabbit and Piglet are trying to make and fly kites... to the sounds of a documentary about World War 2 Tactical Bombers. True story.

It helps to add beer... but it's not necessary.

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

Looks like the Walk of Echoes honeymoon is over. This past weekend, just having the numbers to complete Conflux 7 was a struggle. Guess I'll be finishing Alard's Axe next update.

Until then, gonna spend countless hours trying to farm a Wizzan Grip. Because I definitely am not paying for it...

[Yellow Mage]

Re: Post your FFXI goals of the week!

This week, it's to level Paladin and get enough Beastman Seals for another Royal Jelly orb, and proceed to farm that BC come this weekend.

Also, get acquainted with the new LS.
