Noky’s FFXI Journal: The Magnificent Return
It's been awhile since I've posted. I have a huge backlog of topics, some of which are now irrelelvant, to post. I'll get to that but I decided, this time, I'm gonna keep a journal of my MMO exploits.
I've played FFXI twice before in the past and I never got past level 30. I can't guarantee I will this time but I'm going to try at least.
I have a couple of friends joining me at the start and hopefully, I'll make it to the end!
I forgot to take pictures for this entry but whatever, I'll make up for it in the second entry.
This is the perfect time to start playing because classes are wrapping up and finals are right around the corner. Go me for actively trying to screw up my academic and professional future!
Anyway, I played for about 3-4 hours at night and in to the morning. I've started on Asura as a Hume White Mage and reached level 5. Not much progress but I feel like it was something.
After logging for the night, I've come to realization that I want to play a Tarutaru. I think Humes look the coolest but I've played a Hume both times in the past (with a sprinkle of Galka) and I've started in Bastok both times as well. To make things simple, we started in Bastok once more but I kinda want to change things up.
Seeing as I always play White Mage and always play Hume and always start in Bastok, I'm going to play a Taru this time and go for one of the melee classes (I'm thinking Warrior to start). However, Taru suck at physical jobs without proper equipment so I'm going to go ahead and actually start off as a white mage as usual for the intial leveling (black mage was gracefully taken by one of my comrades). I expect to play (a lot) more than them so I'll probably level all of my initial jobs to level 10 and farm with thief/monk/beastmaster to fund my warrior exploits. The idea is to primarily be a warrior while keeping white mage up to snuff in case we need to start a party and have no healers.
I doubt I'll have much time tomorrow (and for most of the week actually) but we'll see what happens.
