Where I Currently Am(FF XI): Windurst Mission 5-1  Also, just trying to level up a ton to make doing missions easier.... currently am RDM 69/THF 30...

Stuff Did Today (FF X-2): Continued down Via Infinito... running into Lord Zaon and Lady Yunalesca at Cloister 80... they changed into the insidious Chac... this bastard snake REALLY likes to stone you, and has a TON of HP. Luckily, he won't stone your last person... so we used this to just outlast him basically.

Went down a little further and then got bored of Via Infinito... and was getting a little worried that my levels were getting too high... so I headed back to the airship to clean some stuff up in my Bestiary... so I'm starting to catch most of what I have remaining and get their fiend tales... after this all I'll have left is a few end of Via Infinito entries.

Stuff Did Today (FF XI): More grinding... nearly got myself to 70... so hopefully some more interesting stuff to come tomorrow

Status & Notes: 

I know I'm stating the obvious here... but Via Infinito... is REALLY long... like REALLY long. I do like how they keep finding ways to make the levels more and more difficult. Just when you think you have a pattern down they'll change something up, like making you fight certain enemies, or making the levels longer. Its kind of cool, but you can only take it for so long... luckily I had some guys who I hadn't caught yet... actually, I was pretty surprised that I missed a few goign through. Like a couple I could've caught in Chapter 3... oh well, really, I'm just getting what I can from the guides... with so many things to catch I was bound to miss a few. Luckily now it is just about filling in the spaces. Takes a bit longer now, since I'm basically catching everything at Level 80... oh well...

Over in Vana'diel... I'm still grinding to 70... it is a long road... I started doing some work in skill grinding... of course since I'm only killing level 50ish monsters I can only grind that so much here... I'll have to do some work once I hit 70. I have a spot in mind... so my goal once I hit 70 is first to get the gear I'll need... some will come from the Auction House... some will be from the Artifact quests... while I'm doing the Artifact Quests... I may as well do some missions as well... you basically have to go to the same place for both... so yeah... probably am still quite a bit away from taking on Maat...
