LockeJV's 2015 FFXI return - Part II

[lockejv]

Ran Limbus to get a crack at Proto-Omega.



Leveled Scholar to solo the the Up In Arms BCNM for the Kraken Club. My first mage job over level 30!



The BCNM is fun, Kaustra is the most badass move in the entire game (SCH two hour). I never really spent my seals, just one-offs here and there so I had a ton. Ended up going 0/30 on the club, it just wouldn't drop.



I started farming currency for THF's relic weapon - the Mandau. I ran every Dynamis area a couple times and decided I liked Valkurm the best. Nightmare Goobs!



Was excited to earn my stage 4 relic - the batardeau. Still needed 10,000 byne bills for the Mandau though, long way to go. Not long compared to how it used to be (years).



With help from a loan from Justinb, I got my 10,000 byne bill and turned it in. The last Mandau quest was in the Sanctuary of Zitah - Mookies came along to celebrate the moment:



My first Mercy Stroke! (relic weapon skill)



Fighting Alexander (TOAU quest) & gratuitous relic weapon screen shot.



Got a group together to kill Dynamis Lord. Anti-climactic after all that time, but satisfying!



Jailer of Love fight - always wanted the Love Torque:



Absolute Virtue. The trick was just someone had to use the same two hour less than a couple seconds after he used a two hour in order to nullify it. Was it that hard to figure out?



Yes, this actually happened - Jack finally dropped! Probably 80ish kills before it finally happened. Oh, he's a 20-30 minute spawn now which helped.



I have some more I'd like to post but that's going to do it for now!

Oh, the Omega in Sea and there are also some super versions of the Aeons, or summons, or whatever they are called in this game. Need to add those to my list. Congrats on relic weapon. Trying to figure out what would be a good weapon to get for Blu. Aramat requires a 1500 metal plate if you want to finish some of the trials. There are some other Rapsodies weapons that are still good and easier to obtain which I might go for.

Aegis was the best relic when I was still playing.

Biggest problem Absolute Virtue's 2 hours was Benediction. The 1st group that did it had no idea WHY he stopped doing it. Then they proceeded to kill him, and couldn't figure out what had happened.

Hey what's going on in your SS for Jack? I see it says [BULLY] 2:37.

Is that an echo macro you setup?

[lockejv]

Bully is a new THF job ability that targets a mob. While active it can cause the mob to be intimated, and the best part is sneak attack works from anywhere on the bullied mob. So SA to the face.

What version of Windower are you using Locke? I think I might start a similar thread tailoring my adventures.

Did you activate your account yet?

[Bridger - Retired Paladin]

FFXI account? Yes I have been playing for about 3 weeks. Having a lot of fun.

Found Tibent. I am an official EO Sackholder now. Currently we have 2 members, and a 3rd guy kinda jokingly agreed to join.

Took some screen shots, but FFXI doesn't capture text and I know there are Windowers out there that render better than FFXI.

Cool! You should use the windower.net tool, it even has a minimap that comes in really handy.

Might look at that later this week. Finally got FFXI to look good on my big screen TV AND have text that was decently sized.

Was pretty non-intuitive and I had to do a few internet searches to figure it out. Somewhere I found a site that said only to use very specific resolutions on a 1080p TV.

I didn't see a way how to make all those settings match in Windower, but I noticed there were TONS of plugins and other things.

P.S. Tibentt did agree to make you a sackholder. Now if we can just get the form access, then our legendary Deca Trolling may continue.
