Stuff Did Today (FF X-2): None

Stuff Did Today (FF XI): Levelled up to 50, then headed into Jeuno and met Maat, a guy who really wants to help me break my limits. He told me to go collect a few items from a few dungeons and he'd help me out.

The first place we visited was the Crawler's Nest, here we need to collect some Exoray Mold... yum... we found our way around, and using our lovely sneak ability, we were able to collect a few spores which then combined into what we needed

In Garlaige Citadel, we first had to pick up a bag of weighted stones... somehow this let me open up the gates. We were trying to collect a few Bomb Coal Fragments This place was definitely a bit of a maze that took a little figuring out. I kept getting ambushed by Explosures, which stunk, they blow up for a LOT of damage... luckily, we were able to take one down, and it gave me the piece of Bomb Coal as requested by Maat!

We then found the Eldrieme Necropolis... that took me a while to find the entrance, and  Once we were able to find our way to the correct area, we were able to just run around a bit and easily collect the three papyrus scraps we needed. We returned to Maat, and got our Level Cap raised to 55!


Status & Notes: 

Well, got my first taste of a real quest in FF XI today, and it was quite fun! Alot of the challenge is just figuring out where to go. The dungeons are real mazes, with some paths looking open that really aren't. Here is where you need to know what monsters detect what, whether it be sight, sound, casting... this way you can skip as much as possible.

I also, just kind of discovered that you can start getting Artifact Armor at level 40. This is very interesting, its the armor that actually makes you look like you're the class that you are playing as. I was also able to pick up the quest that will raise my Level Cap from 55 to 60. This is a lot quicker quest which just involves killing a few named mobs in Xarcegard... which is where I'm currently levelling. So, these are my next 2 goals here... raise my cap up to Level 60 and start picking up the Artifact Armor... actually get some stats and what not.

We'll definitely get some X-2 in today I think. If you've forgotten, we're finishing up the fiends that unlock after the Cactuar Hollow opens... and then we're going to run around and get the PR points finished and go head to the Calm Lands.
