My Final Fantasy XI journal
As yuou might have read, I have picked up Final Fantasy XI again. I have a 43 lv bard on the Ramuh server, along wiht a few other classes lvled, notably Monk at level 33. I planned a while ago to journal my adventures, but then I stopped playing. So, here are the adventures of Parm the Female Elvaan Bard.
Day 32
Today was my official day back. I have already gained my new linkpearl, kind of sad that the old Linkshell is gone. Most people ported over from the old one, but there are still a few notable exceptions. The world of Van'Diel has changed so much since i left that I felt a little lost. As soon as I logged in, Wizdom (best friend) asked me if I wanted to do Rank 5. This was exciting ,since I had to wait so long to do it ,and having a 57 dark knight and a 55 redmage help you breeze through it is awesome. Still, it took almost three hours even with good help.
Travelling to Beaueux for the first time was bad. The swamplands of pashow marsh can be confusing, and it doesn't get better in the next zone. We had to tag help a person that insisted on training Quadavs to the zone entrance. Luckily the bard was there!
Well, almost.
It seems that during me absence, the powers that be in SE cut the bard spells time down by almsot half. Still powerful, jsut more recasting required. After waiting for NM for spawn for rank 5, we headed to Davoi.
Davoi, situated at the south end of Junger Forest, is a harsh place. I remember being there for something ,and getting creamed as a monk with a full party of level 20s. This time, it was no better. The Dark got pwned, and I died. Drop to level 42....after all that time fighting in Crawler's Nest!
After magicite # 2 was collected, it was warp scroll back to Jueno for a trip to Castle Ortija (?) for magicite three. That was okay, got some extra bard songs for selling, and that part was easy. All in all, uneventful with little work. We fought in the bowels of the castle, and regained my level, so that was nice.
By that time, I was late getting to bed and slept. God, the addiction is back in full force.
Tomorrow, leveling white mage subjob!
