Goodbye Valkrum...

Well I finally reached level 23, and can leave Valkrum Dunes. I will most likely be heading to Windurst to raise cooking, and make some money. From there I will head of to Korroloka Tunnel, for at least 2 more levels.

Let me tell you about my best friend

Well since i was getting more or less raped in Jugner:

Forest Tiger uses Claw Cyclone. Teirm takes 78 damage.
Teirm is defeated by Forest Tiger.

As you can see this was not fun. I think i died around 10 times that day, losing a net total of 1700 exp. Well a person on KI told me that I could go back to Valkrum, and stay there to 23. Well I decided I have nothing to lose. Well, I head over there, check a leech, and to my wonder it was EM. Oh this was going to be fun. Well I charm it, and go bat shit crazy. Gobs are falling like Mandragoras, EXP is flowing like the mighty Amazon, and peace was restored to the world. It just so happened, when trying to select Raging Axe, I selected Familiar, and continued my reign of chaos. Well with this insanity going on, I reached lv 22. Well I think Venlo got his Velocious Belt today, and tomorrow I will finally get magicite finished.

Leeches in Jugner

Finally level 21, and I am out of Valkrum. I decided to do the event after hitting 21, and at least go a pumpkin head, and 3 staffs. After that went to Jeuno, seeing how my gear was outdated ( I was using scale foot gear), and bought a beetle harness, new shield, and some beetle leggings. Sadly I was too poor to afford anything more, no pet food and no spike necklace. Well with that finished, I drag my self to Jugner. I was a little skeptical about how decent a camp this is, but after my first kill with a leech i feel in love with this place. Sure its a little musty, but 300 xp a kill with band is nice. To top it all off, leeches are great pets. Not very hard to charm, last very long, and have solid attack defense. Went crazy with leeches, and in just 5 leeches gained 2000 xp toward lv 22.

The Era of Broadband

Well as the title says, I have broad band now! FFXI is so much smoother now. Well I wish i could keep writing, but I can't. Updates will be few till Oct 21, sorry.

Farming

Well this entire weekend was spent more or less farming to raise Leather Craft. The first day i decided to kill sheep in West Ronfaure. Things went well, kill a couple of sheep, make some leathers, and have a good time. I reached leather crafting 2.3 that day. The next day was spent killing more sheep, except this time they were in Konschtat Highlands, things went well again. Actually came across Stray Mary, but no drop. All that crafting brought me to 3.7. Finally, the last day. This day was meaningless slaughter. Kind of ran around Jagged-Ear Jack's spawn area in hopes of getting luck, but I did not get lucky. Then decided to train a bunch of rabbits and blow them all up with Banishga. Oh how I love Banishga. Well killing those bunnies and making mantles took me 4.1. Realizing how broke I am, I decided to go camp Spook. Ended up killing him twice, to no avail. Well hoping to make some cash next week, maybe will camp some other NM, like Crypt Ghost or something like that.

Weekend Agenda

Well last weekend did not go exactly how i hope, wasting one entire day camping Spipi with no luck. This week, I have decided to tear through a couple of Leather Crafting levels so that it will be a meager source of income for some time. Then hope to reach approximately between level 21-22 by Sunday with luck.

Wings of Fury

Well me and my good friend Venlo did Wings of Fury on Sunday. It went well, Furies took a couple of charms to get under control, but all turned out well. I got to keep all the drop, mainly because Venlo is so rich. I got a platoon sword, scroll of invisible, red rock, 2 bat wings, and a bat fang. Sold for approximately 8k, but oh well. I decided to work on leather craft then, but realized that i had little inventory space, and few of the necessary items. Killed some sheep, then quit.
