Stuff Did Today (FF X-2): Did ALOT of sending chocobos out... and all I've gotten from it is a bunch of AP...

Stuff Did Today (FF XI): So, Doctor Shantotto's curse was accidentally killing someone... whoops. Of course she wanted to pin it on me... she did want to try and reverse it though. So... we fetched some more stuff. Including some hair... a tree root... and some ammunition. Seemed to do the trick I guess. She did have more for us to do, however. She wanted us to head into the Beacudedine Glacier and inquire about a new spell she had developed and the Orastery had been testing out.

Upon arriving and hearing that the doctor was asking about the spell sent panic into the Orastery workers. Something was blocking the magic from inside Fei'Yin. We took the long walk over, and inside we found the head researcher along with some golems... apparently they were blocking the magic. We returned to Shantotto to report what we'd found and she finally agreed to go through the Trust ritual with us!

With that out of the way, we headed over to the Burburmu Peninsula to begin some Black Mage training.

Status & Notes: 

Okay... this Chocobo Ranch thing is getting REALLY annoying. It is really completely random what you get,.. did some research and perhaps I've been sending my chocobos to the wrong region. The point is to send them to somewhere they don't want to go while they are at a low to mid heart level. This other chart I'm looking at has Kilika as a neutral site for Bold chocobos... and says I should try Besaid or the Moonflow instead... I'll give that a shot when I can.

Other research I've done in X-2 is telling me that you can't use the arena to fill up Shinra's Bestiary... sigh... that is going to make things mighty annoying. Going to mean another long trip down Via Infinito... with the express purpose this time being to gather all the oversouled monsters.

In Vana'diel I've finished getting all the city trusts. The Shantotto quests really weren't all that bad. Even got the Warp II spell out of it... not a bad deal. Definitely making some good money out of the treasure chests too!
