RDM returning to your ranks

bombastic — Tue, 05 Apr 2005 08:45:12 -0500

After 6 months I am back (thank you Sony :) I got burned out trying to get my RDM much past 32 (everyone always wanted BRD!) so I let my account expire. Now I am back because of the Return Home to Vana'diel and am ready to play in your ranks!

Looks like I missed a lot. Maior has a gardening guide (last time I talked to him he hated gardening). Raprot has oodles of guides out. Even Ravenclaw seems to have gotten in on the action.

Anyway, rank 3, level 32 RDM, level 16 BLM (will be leveling that this week unless someone wants to help me get NIN :) looking for thrils and excitement :)

I want Ninja!

Okay, so it has been a really long time since I've been playing (sorry everyone, life got too complex there for a while) but I am back and I want Ninja! My 34 RDM is having a hard time finding parties (stupid BRDs) so I want to give RDM/NIN a whirl. I've seen them around, and they seem like fun. So, anyone want to help me get Ninja this weekend?

What other games are you playing?

Okay, this has little to do with FFXI, but we got to talking last night about what other games you might be playing right now other than FFXI. So I got curious what some of the other clan members who weren't on might be playing.

So I got my keys (thanks to Maior) and I made it to Kazham. Now I go about getting a party. When I get into a party, guess what we were fighting?

Mandys.

Blasted keys!

Just finished my levelling in Qufim this weekend (man, that place made the dunes look like a tropical resort!) and now I'm looking for the keys so I can get the Kazham airship pass. On problem: WHO DROPS THE DAMNED KEYS?!

Plan ahead

I just made it to Jueno an have been going for the Choco quest. I haven't done it in one sitting because, well, I have better things to do than sit around for 8 hours spoon feeding a flipping choco back to health. Instead, I'm doing it periodically over the next little bit while I do other things (like level in Quifim).

I made it to Jueno with a group of fellow adventurers that I partied with in the Dunes and then continued on in Jugner Forrest for a bit (woohoo! evil saplings!) Well, when we got there (to Jueno) half of my teammates had no money and no grasses for the chocobo quest. When they found out what they needed, and that the quest was going to take eight hours, they wigged. One of them even left the game vowing never to return.

Trying so hard to get to twenty

Hey, has anyone else had difficulty getting to twenty? I made it to 18 in no time levelling in the dunes. Took me a damn long time getting my magicked skull (eventually helped out by Maior, thanks Sam :) and soon was at 19.

Now I've been 19 for a week. Okay, so I haven't had much time to play lately, but my hell, a WEEK? I should have made 20 this weekend, I even came close until a bastard Orc killed me in Gelsbah.

Anyone else have problems getting to 20? I think all my groups are dysfunctional. I'm a RDM and everyone wants me to both nuke and heal, which draws too much hate. Then I get WARs that dont provoke off me and let me tank (which I can't do of course) and I die.

Test
