The View From Down Here: A Day In The Life of Yyg

The day begins by doing a little bit of farming. Unconventional... but effective.

Followed by some Einherjar

Because I always need more Ichor. So much more.


After that, I helped out a guy with a few assaults.

After all... when I was doing mine, I always wished I had help.


Then I spent all my money on Alexandrite. Some guy was selling around 2000 of them for a fair price, so I figured I should pick up as many as I could afford while they lasted.

Then Salvage II

Because clearly Nashmeira has some kind of plan for all of this Alex... right? I'm working my ass off to farm it for her... for a good reason... right?


And finally to the Boyahda Tree to finish out the night with some old school farming.

This is still one of my top 5 favorite zones... for so many beautiful reasons.

The things I do for love/boredom/FFXI

So I've been logging on recently to do more than just farm the necessary requirements for my Nirvana and I have to say... I miss the old FFXI. The FFXI before the cap was raised to 99... before Abyssea... before easy mode everything. I miss needing other people around if I wanted to walk through Sea. I miss running around in the dunes to level from 11-20. I miss aspiring to own a speed belt... Or to get my hands on a Serket claim. I miss camping HNMs. I miss dying like crazy in Vanilla Dynamis. I miss the music in Sky. I miss trailing a bunch of non aggressive Mandies outside Windy. I miss camping LL without ever seeing a pair of his coveted boots.

And I DEFINATELY miss the days when killing PW was still just a myth.

Anyway... now that I've got that off my chest... It's back to farming Alex and Einherjar.
