Mission accomplished

In the end Absolute Virtue was saved. Not due to my poor efforts, to be true...
but at least the mighty King of Aern is "mighty" again. Or sort of.
To commemorate the event I made a button:




Muahahahah...
Ah, button speaking... check this thread. After a long period of laziness I finally decided to make use of my far superior (LOL) photosho skills and I make a handful of buttons like this one:



There is plenty of options for you to enjoy in the thread, plus if you want I can make a special button for you (but be patient because I have a lot of requests... usually take 4 days for a pin to be ready, more if submerged by requests)...
So don't be lazy and go there and check / ask / whatever.
The jobs ones are now the official usable avatars of Blue Gartr muahahah


I'm working on the races ones now, and then I will be back to make requests for everyone!
Enjoy. And if you like them, send me some cookies!


Remember DNC exp has priority though! bwahahah

And it happened, eventually

I'm sure you already know, the news is spreading all over Vana'diel carried by the goblins...
Absolute Virtue, formerly the last Boss, the Unbeaten Monster of Promathia, ultimately find his end.
Across all the globe, the poor creature is hunted and zerged like anything else.
No more wondering how he can be defeated, no more strategies to be found, no more questions... now the answer is only one: bring a lot of Dark Knights, a lot of Kraken Clubs and go to zerg like hell.

Yes friends, I know. It's sad to hear that the one unbeaten Beast now collapse in the front of the might of a single weapon, a weapon we know is usually in the hands of the ones who dwell in illicit traffics of gil or money.
It's doubly sad then that the once might Aern, now is simply killed with raw power, not requiring anymore a bit of strategy!

Once again raw power win against brain usage.
Embrace your weapons then, and go else to find something suitable.
Vana'diel once again kneels to the ones who wants everything now.



I know friends, these are dark times.
But we still have some hope for the future, not everything is lost!
Help me and Absolute Virtue in the fight of the Zerg method...
Let's spread you this badge on every FFXI forum.
And let them know you're against this mighty beast extinction!
Let's fight for Vana'diel future ecosystem!

Not far from here, but not close too

Don't worry friends! Binahel is not vanished from the Vana'diel world.
She's just a bit busy!

This (cat) moved two months ago in London and life it though here!
The main problem is finding a job, while the second one is finding nice people and new friends!
I've been told that moving to a foreign country is challenging and indeed it is, expecially if you're not 100% perfect with the country language!
But my engRish is slowly improving and in a matter of no time I will be a socialite/fashion-victim londoneer and even the locals will not be able to find I'm a foreigner
MUAHAHHA





So, updates on FFXI activities:

• Due to the long time I passed offline, I choose to move back to Fairi for a while. I really miss my Hades friends, but I will stay here for a little longer, since it was my old server and I want to see how things are here. To be true, Hades is actually a bit better, but looks like Fairy is a bit more active, especially in the LS activities! I will see what happens and keep you updated. I left my RDM on Hades though, her name is Dunizel, so we can stay in contact!
  Thanks to the moving I met a lot of old friend, last but not least one of the few people that knows since my first days as THF in Windurst (LOL ages ago).
  I got a picture with them and I send them a lot of kisses, hoping to see them again soon!
  
  
• Dancer is slowly but wonderfully growing, hope I will be 75 in a matter of few months!
  Tell me if you want to exp! I'm super cute and super pro! (LOL that's a lie actually. But I'm really cute in my AF DNC! Really!)
• Can't wait for the new udpate which will bring us a new exp method AND the most important thing of all: THE POSSIBILITY TO CHANGE HAIR STYLE!
  FInally I will get rid of that old hairstyle and I wll have a new one (still have to decide wich one, though... any idea?)

That's pretty everything for now! I will keep you updated on my quest for work and DNC75 heheh
Cheers mates (as they say here!)

Fashion is the way

Beside cookies, my other passion is fashion.
Inspired by this magazine



(a wonderful Japanese magazine depicting the best fashion tips for Tarutarus with the quest required to obtain them) I thought I will start today a fashion guide for the FFXI people!
Being a fashionist is not an easy way, at all. It's difficult and time consuming and of course a gil sinker... but it's fashion, as it should be!

So, let's start:



In the first frame we can see a Monk.
Being a monk doesn't allow you to wear such an ugly combination of pieces. A male, expecially a hume, should never, and I say NEVER, wear that harnesses, except in party (Party is a peculiar situation where fashion style can be suspended for Exp reasons °_°) or you will be the at people's mercy. Please have a look at the new equip and I'm sure you will find something more appropriate than bare legs!
Being Galka and Red Mage is a problem.
But not always, as you can see in the second frame. Taken in the Far Eastern capital, this pic is of a famous Galka of the server (Hades) and he's showing a big fashion sense. Goliard is a piece of absolute perfection, matched only by Morrigan, and adding the Duelist Chapeaux is a wonderful fashion idea, and also almost the only headgear a Red Mage should wear. So, fellow RedMages, start NOW your career of fashionist and do a lot of Dynamis, fighting one of the lowest drop of the Dynamis area! Good luck!

The third Frame is me as a Summoner.
This combination of pieces is horrible, but being Campaign is forgivable, since while fighting we can forgive if the equipment is not aesthetically perfect. Almost.
As a Summoner, I know, you have such a little pieces for your body. But why not Vermillion or the AFv1 or v2? Almost everything is better then cheap body! So don't be lazy and go exp or farm!
Your fashion sense will grow a lot fighting trash mobs for a better purpose: to be perfect!

Oh my!

A lot of new things to do, a lot of old things to set up before I can start this new life.
In the meanwhile I'm having fun with the new update SE gave us few days ago.
I would like to mention the absence of any real Dancer thingy, but since I found the new Missions and the new contents really nice, I guess I will not say a word about it.
We Dancer are still waiting for merits and AFv2 but looks like we will wait a lot for that two.

The new storyline is very very nice. Finally something I can enjoy even if I don't have a whole party of uberFriends to help me.
I was very very angry about COP, not for the fact they were difficult (I do really like challenges) but due to the fact they were "impossible" without a proper group. Looks like SE learned a lot from that distant mistake and it's giving us something that we can enjoy even if on a casual player basis.

When I will be finished with moving (somewhere in September, I believe) I will finally leave the lines of casual players, but since then I'm wondering what this game has to give to people who don't have time to play it properly.
I saw that the new relics are, of course, a big effort to do. And it sounds fine. I'm not the kind of people who need the ultimate weapon to be happy... even if I hoped for something different... and how things looks like for now, the new relics are even more difficult to have than the old ones.


BUT
let's change subject! The FFXI Blog world is full of people speaking of the update and the new items, I leave you to their capable minds!
Me is a Dancer, the silly Dancer, so I give up on complaining and I try to unravel the mysteries  of Vana'diel


Will this be the future that awaits our beloved Windurst? Will we be able to save it from it's future of horror and despair?
What we saw after fighting the battle of La Vaule, is just a vision or an ineluctable that we will have to fight to avoid destruction?



And what this little dancer hide? Is what she claims to be? Another pawn in the scheme of the Royal Feline? Is the cat good or evil?
And, finally, the ultimate question: where are the Champions of the Dawn and what's their place in all this events?

We can't know for sure!
And while waiting, we enjoy a bit of Campaign fun!

I do believe she's a real Mithra!

Meow Meow Meeeeow

Days of intensity

These were days of intense and rewarding exp.
Beside the boring exp parties I found, I was able to make a lot of nice exp session with a variety of different job combination. Almost in every combination the healer had to sit and watch, due to my super power cures muahahahah


Here you can see me fighting a pink bird with another DNC in party. Wich was a lot less lazy then me and cured a lot! Good lady! ^^
So party after party finally I got my reward:



FULL DANCER ARTIFACT ARMOR! l33t

It's unbelievable cute, I know!
Expecially the shoes, with a little cute red ribbon and a green heart!

But with levels went not only the AF but also
DANCING EDGE
I know, I know, maybe for you this is nothing! BUT you must remember me that I was a Bard, and then a Red Mage and I never ever got Dancing Edge nor I did in any way significant damage to exp mobs.
So, with the help of a couple of flourish, I'm able to do a solo skillchain and that's thrilling for me, beside the fact the damage output is not bad at all


A small toke compared to proper DD jobs, but since this is my first melee job, i'm more then happy with this: my very first Dancing Edge!
Now I will study how this ws work and maybe I will be able to collect some equipment to make it stronger!

Then, running like a chocobo (Chocobo Jig ftw) in the streets of our beloved Windurst, I made an unexpected encounter:

Sylbianna the silly scholar! She was fishing and after some chitchat and a dozen of emote, I had to wave goodbye because it was too late for me!
Happy to see you again Sylbichan! <3
