Photo shoot. For Science...

Also... saw my favorite NPC in the game for the first time in ages, Robel-Akbel

Badass...

Yygdrasil and Cirque de so PUP

So this past weekend was dedicated to me grinding PUP up to 95 and messing around with what the job is capable of. This is what I learned:

The GOOD:
1: Diverse job role possibilities
2: Stylish outfit
3: Solo capacity with your own private healer/nuked

The BAD:
1: Automaton AI
2: Confusing gear choices
3: 3 more skills to cap... slowly
4: H2H or gtfo
5: I SPENT OVER 2 MILLION GIL SO FAR JUST TO MAKE IT DECENT!

The UGLY:
1: I lied about the outfit

End of research. Now that the job is capped on XP, I have to merit it and work on skills... so ill report more of my opinions and adventures after I've had more time to fuck around with it.

PUP is confusing...

I spent this morning trying to mess around on PUP. I've never tried to play the job before... so its a little confusing.

Retrieve isn't even an option until lvl 15? Really?

I still need to get used to attachments... heads and bodys.... how to equip them and all that fun stuff.

Im told that the job is EXPENSIVE. Im prepared for it... although im not happy about the prospect of being broke again.

I got a lot more aquainted with the job... and im now at lvl 21. Im sure ill get the hang of it more as the days go on.

I made it!

This not the first... nor shall it be the last time I narrowly avoid being late to work in order to complete some task in FFXI.

Now that I'm here though, I can write more about todays events even though there honestly isn't that much to be told. After completing the prep work for the final battle of the Windy Missions, I gave it a dry run to see what I was up against. Ill be dammed if I didn't nearly win too.

After I recruited the 2 who came with me, the fight was a joke.
Sleepga>Own House>CS>Own House

Since I was grateful for the help that Azure had given me without needing the fight him/herself, I asked what I could do in return. Badda bing, badda bang and we were off to Any Altep to kill the Tiger NM for the Furor Cesti.

Since when is that sucker ever camped? Today there had to be 15 people there... at least 3 seperate parties committing genocide on the tigers while waiting for the pop.

We lost claim to a party of 2 WHM 1 THF and an Ukku's WAR. Somehow... and im still not quite sure how, they were OBLITERATED when the NM was at 1%. Once the tiger went yellow and I had determined that none of them had AoA or reraise of any kind, I snagged it and ended it with 1 Blade: Jin for 2k. We got the drop... but no Tiger King Hide I was hoping for.

I also got my Ninjutsu Skill up to 348/354. I had no idea I was that close. If I had more time to kill I would have stuck around to cap it off, but sadly, work comes first.

Goals for the weekend:
1) Cap Ninjutsu Skill
2) Finish either ASA or ACP. One would be fine, both is unlikely.
3) Level PUP
