Where I Currently Am(FF XI): Windurst Mission 6-1. Time to get back on track.(Current Levels RDM 76/DNC 38(50)... BLM 50... THF 30)

Stuff Did Today (FF X-2): Made it back to Chapter 5 finally! Hooray! Now we can start doing what we really need to. Took a quick look at Calm Lands... surprisingly it looks like I can actually get myself up to Rank 5 there and still get the Episode Complete... maybe... might be worth me looking in to.

Stuff Did Today (FF XI): Finished my Levelling... finally... and it was back to Red Mage. Decided to start my plot work WAYYY back before I had made it through the Three Mage Gate. That's right, we're back to the Purple Ribbon. This led me deep into Garlaige Citadel where I located the bones of the previous owner. Giving it the Ribbon made a.... rather unfriendly Lich appear. We defeated it and checked the bones again... and found a Blue Ribbon on it instead! We returned to the Rhinostery to report our findings.

We returned and apparently there's some kind of crisis within the Toraimarai Canal... something about starmites... they want me to kill some of them and bring the shells. To do so they gave me the Rhinostery Certificate.... this would allow me direct access to the canals through Windurst Walls.

Status & Notes: 

Yay!!! On two counts... not only have we FINALLY finished the sidejob levelling in XI... but we've finished ALL the pretenses in NG+ of X-2.. back to Chapter 5 where all the magic can happen... and by magic I mean digging... lots of digging. Unfortunately, it looks like I'm going to be stuck in Vana'diel for the next couple days.

Over there, thankfully, the levelling is complete, and I can continue with some actual plot. I chose the Purple Ribbon quest to start out with, because I'd like easy access into Toraimarai Canal... it is alot easier than going through the whole ruins thing to get to the Three Mage Gate.... and we'll need it for a lot of the missions coming up.

So, again, today, I think we're only going to have XI time... in which case I'd like to get through my first mission in quite some time.
