Many news, many adventures.

Hello again!

My apologies for the really late post from the last one I had made. There has been a lot going on both on FFXI and offline.

I do bring some good news in regards to all of this.

After much deliberation and thought I had decided to step down from the Sky/HNM/Sea linkshell known as Legends of Ramuh. Between Dynamis with the Fraggles Linkshell, helping my friend Foulei/Visit out, attending the monday night static with my Thief job and time with the Light Brigade LS along with LoR I wasn't effectively getting anywhere like I wanted to. Also I felt I wasn't much help in the events that Legends of Ramuh in the prior months because most of the events were Sea related, which I don't have access to yet anyways because of non-CoP (chains of promathia) completion.

It was rather counter productive of the linkshell leader to attempt to remove me from the LS, not knowing the full knowledge of my situation let alone consulting me. I had found this out from a few friends of mine who are also on the ls. I took it in stride and informed the ls of my choice to step down. I do not harbor any grudges with the group as a whole and the ls leader is ok, but just needs to improve on his social skills a little bit more.

The choice I made to leave has made a positive impact.





~Level 75!!!!~


After almost 5 long years its finally done! My warrior is now level 75!! Yes, it's taken me this long I admit *haha* but you know what, I'm just happy I "got to the top". However it was not without help and companionship.

Visit, a long-time friend who has been playing as long as I have as made it as well with his now 2nd level 75 Summoner, White Mage being his first respectively. A big congratulations and thanks to him!! I really dont think I could've done it without him and his company. He's worked very hard with Summoner that I'm surprised he hasn't posted a guide for other people. He's really good and skillful at the job, more than he himself realizes. I'm proud that he stuck with it; its one of the most hardworking jobs to level with but the benefits really pays off.
Thanks also goes to members of Light Brigade who came out and leveled/merited with us as well :)

More good news; members from the dynamis ls I'm with, Fraggle Force, has banded together to do CoP missions about a month ago. Since then we've accomplished so much, with a little effort and trial/error of course. First step was figuring out what mission everyone was on, then work from the bottom up. Needless to say most of us were at Chapter/mission 4, with only a couple of stragglers needing the Mammet fight prior, Chapter 3 respectively.

Before this, I spent a good long 4 months trying to get help for mission 4/2, the Ouryu fight. I either couldn't get help or the fight became difficult due to a number of factors. That became a big 180 when I joined up with the gang from Fraggles. Firstly I was surprised a lot of people had not finished CoP like I have. Secondly half of, I'd say, 25 people were on that fight as well. We sucessfully completed that run with 3 BLMs, 1 Pld, a DD (damage dealer) and a Whm or whatever healer we could find (rdm, etc). We stuck together and took our time doing it without any frustration. From that point on I have full confidence we'll get CoP done, together, as a group, and have fun doing it in the process.

So far, we're all right past Mission 4/3, onto Chapter 5, which we'll start this Saturday. What fate befalls us? Will answers be answered or questions lead to more questions in the Chains of Promathia storyline. We won't know untill we venture foward.
