Day #612 Recap (On Break)
Current Game(s): None
Current Play Time(Final Fantasy XI): 264:36
Total Play Time - 1,475:06
Current Deaths(FF XI) - 54
Total Game Overs: 72
Where I Finished Up(FF XI): Rise of the Zilart Mission 5
Current Levels: RDM 99/DNC 49(50)... BLM 50... THF 30.
Current skill levels/Desired skill levels:
Sword(379/398)
Elemental(326/378)
Enfeebling(384/424)
Healing(199/368)
Dark(235/300)
Enhancing(292/404)
Stuff Did Today (FF XI): So, I took the unlit lantern back into the Den of Rancor... and to the west was an altar... where I could light my lantern!!! So, I lit it and took it to the sacrifical gate... and I lit one of the braziers... and then I walked back lit my lantern... walked back lit a brazier... yeah, I did this 4 times... FINALLY the gate opened. Inside were 3 tonberries... I took them out pretty easily. When I did, one of the tonberries revealed itself as a member of the Kuluu tribe!
He described to us how the Zilart had used the powers of the ancient crystals to empower themselves. They created a path to the Garden of the Gods, and used the Delkfutt Tower on Qufim Island to direct the enerfies given by the crystals. The Kuluu, however, destroyed one of the crystals, thus putting everything out of wack. The Zilart were all destroyed... or at least thought to be. The Kuluu... well, they were turned into Tonberries... joy.
Anyway, we were given our next quest. We have to retreive 8 crystal fragments from all around Vana'diel... at least he gave us one for a headstart...
Status & Notes:
Alright, so I've let my FF XI subscription run out... and I decided to take a break for the rest of my holiday vacation. Mostly, just because I wanted a break... been playing a lot of Fantasy Life... really good game btw. Also, I haven't even taken my computer out in days...
I have gotten everything set up for FF XII IZJS... it plays REALLY nicely. So, I'm very excited about that. I'll be starting that up on the 5th for sure.
Want to talk a little more about XI real quick. First of all, I'm extremely impressed with the amount of work STILL being put into this game. I mean, with all the different quests and missions and levelling, and job levelling, and armor levelling, and weapon levelling... seriously... you could grind in this game for years and still not be complete. It's very impressive. It's still a fun game too, even though it maybe isn't as advanced as some other MMOs... it feels like the most advanced MUD ever created... and that really is not a bad thing. I do very much want to come back to this game sometime and do some more work on it, but I think for now, I'm ready to take a break with it.

Stuff Did Today (FF XI): Took my first trip down into the Den of Rancor... had to use a paintbrush to open up the secret passage. Down there, I found some more Tonberries... some Impercators... they finally gave up one of their unlit lanterns I've been waiting on. I then headed back into town and bought a ton of books to up my Enhancing skill.
Status & Notes:
Alright, so here's what's going on. As of the 2nd, I'm going to be cancelling my XI subscription for now. I'm planning on starting up my WoW subscription again, and I'm going to be starting up XII... most likely on the 5th or hopefully before. I'm hoping to finish this Zilart mission before then... really all I have to do is run back and forth a lot to light the lanterns and get to the battlefield... really just a big old pain in the butt.

Status & Notes:
Yeah, another day of no play time... went and took the wifey out on a date night last night. Gotta do that every once in a while. Anyway, today, I'm planning on really getting my emulator settings finalized for XII... I'm actually kind of leaning towards stopping XI for a while... I have a couple of days before my subscription is going to renew... I may very well cancel it for a bit... I'd like to start up XII... ready to get moving on things. I'm sure you all are as well. That said, I'd still like to complete a few more missions because why not??? Hopefully the RNG will start to cooperate with me.
As for the race... still haven't been watching as much... yesterday I watched a little bit and Crumps was trying to take down the weapons and not having much luck in doing so... I think Cereth is still playing IX... I REALLY haven't been watching his stream. His playthrough, he is doing a user-submitted challenge where he can't BUY any weapons or armor other than those in the synthesis shops... so he has to do a lot of stealing and what not from the bosses.... that's quite a time sink... believe me... I did that all as well.
Update: Apparently, Cereth actually beat IX already... so he can buy equipment now... he's gonna take on Ozma... and then move onto X today at some point I'm sure.

Stuff Did Today (FF XI): Made my way through the jungles of the Elshimo Lowlands into the Sea Serpent Grotto... and within there we found the hideout of Norg. Here, we met up with Lion who recounted for us what happened when we beat the Shadow Lord...
Apparently, the Grand Duke of Jeuno and his little brother showed up, and proclaimed themselves to be the last of the Zilart... another one of the ancient races of Vana'diel, thought to be extinct. They summoned five ancient crystal warriors who are to purge the world of everyone... well, the ex-shadow lord turned himself back into the shadow lord to give us time to escape, even though he was basically committing suicide.
We then met the leader of Norg... a man called Gilgamesh(cue Battle at the Big Bridge)... he says that he once had gone deep into the Temple of Uggalepih and found an old lady who told him to return when the end was near... or something like that... obviously the return of the Crystal Warriors is the trigger for this... so we should probably return. We headed over to Kazham, to see the chieftain who gave us a key to the sacrificial altar deep within the temple... she told us we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into.
We returned to Norg and talked to Magephaud who gave us a key which would give us access to a Tonberry Priest who could cleanse us of the hate that the Tonberrls had toward us. We then went to the temple and got a key... the key opened a library of sorts.. we read some books and then found a paintbrush in a coffin... yay??? Then we headed a little further in and tried to find an Unlit Lantern... because it might be useful...
Status & Notes:
Again... sorry for the delay in writing up some stuff. Things have been kind of crazy in real life... I haven't even gotten any play time in a couple days. So yeah... anyway, started the Rise of the Zilart questline. Seems pretty cool... though, honestly, I've had a lot of bad luck with random drops... took me quite a while to get the key I needed for the paintbrush room... and I've probably been trying for at least an hour at this point to get the Unlit Lantern with no success... maybe I'll have to try actually going into the Den of Rancor and trying to get it there...
Alright, I'll leave some notes for the other couple posts I have to do today...
