As far as the Goldfish bowl... 10 wood, 7 alch, 4 smithing isn't that bad when you consider that you can easily synth stuff 4 levels below your current level, and further with image support. I have a Woodworker with no smithing and very little alchemy, but I'm pretty sure I can synth with her if I grab alch image support.

I loved that level 1 dungeon thing, all I did was to bring coffer keys of certain dungeons and unlocked chests in Kuftal and Crawlers Nest during that time. I recalled some of those miners bringing in pickaxes for Ifrit's as well.

Ah... the memories of the first Summerfest... watching the fireworks in the desert (the best place in my opinion), running around naked in high-level dungeons, doing suicidal runs to pull the bee off one ??? in the Temple of Ugh so others could click it...

... slowly being driven insane by the music, commenting that Bastok has got to stop shooting their cannons at people, and saving drowning tarutarus.

Memories indead.

Jul. 18, 2006 05:00 [PDT] From: FINAL FANTASY XI
The Sunbreeze Festival

The days just keep getting hotter and hotter! But according to our sources in the Mog House Management Union (M.H.M.U.), the officials from each nation have decided to hold another festival to beat the heat! Yes, the Sunbreeze Festival is back with its upbeat music and dancing to bring cool breezes down from the heavens to Vana'diel.

The rumor is out, and the nations are getting into the festive mood. Volunteers from various shops and guilds have gathered to create town decorations and fireworks for the festival, and the moogles are out searching the nations of Vana'diel for Rakapopo Dancers. The goldfish scooping merchants are also hard at work mass-producing super scoops that break under the weight of particularly jumpy fish.

And of course, the master alchemist Azima is hard at work on-you guessed it-Azimuth Circle II! Once again, adventurers will need to team up and maintain close communication in order to find a specific target. It should be easy with good teamwork, but this time the event will be held outside of town, so you will have to keep a lookout for monsters as well!

Azima claims that she decided to hold the event outdoors this year to add an extra dimension of excitement. So with your heart racing at the end of the day, you can don a yukata together and have an even greater appreciation for the beautiful sight of fireworks.

Nights filled with music, dancing, fireworks, and games... Be sure not to miss this year's Sunbreeze Festival!

Wow! This festival sounds fun. I'll get the LS I'm in to meet somewhere for it. I can't wait!^^ I hope to get a Yukata if possible, but like everyone else is saying they should make a full set. Or a kimono so it covers the whole body.

Ok, most people are interested in the update, but I have a question about the Yutakas that everyone has. On other sites, it said it was part of the event in 04, and in 05 you could buy it from the eventmoogles. This year, you can only buy the +1 swimwear from the Moogles, and I was wondering if anyone might know where I could get the Yutakas?

Re: The Sunbreeze Festival is Coming!(07/12/2006)

They might not have them available again this year, but I'll check around and see if I can find anything.

If you're too lazy to reall of that it basicly means that another event Called A-something Circle will begin on July 1st and that event will give out the Yukatas.

I checked that, but I didn't read it to read as you did, so it makes sense, taht they just switched the Yutakas and the swimwear from last year. Thanks

I'm still confused about the Yukatas, if you have to do Azimuth Circle II to get them... how do you trigger that event? O__o

EDIT: Nvm XD I read it starts later.

Is the Azimuth's Circle event repeatable?

Re: The Sunbreeze Festival is Coming!(07/12/2006)

Is the Azimuth's Circle event repeatable?

It was last year. I helped a few people get their swimwear after I already had both HQ pieces. I can't remember if I got some other reward (fireworks or something) or not.

Double Post Edited:
In general, btw, holiday event things are almost always repeatable. You get little rewards like fireworks or candy if you've already got the gear most of the time.

The Yukatas are different this year. Here, here, here, and here. I wonder if you can get both sets if you don't already have the Goldfish-Scooping one(s).

I wonder what the new Rare/Ex hotness is this year!
