Filling the glass to full: ........................lately...... I have been tidy'ing up all my characters loose ends and trying to cap everything that's useful to my 75's. You can see this....... more clearly....... in my reworked "About Me" section on the right margin of the Blog.

Temptation !

SALVAGE AND OTHER CHEATERS: ..............I was wondering how that out of no where a few months ago every one was wearing complete sets of Salvage gear. Then someone spilled the beans on the BG forum and SE was like "Oh Shit". Well all I know is that there is a huge difference between debateable game strategies and Duping Treasure Chest which is way over the line. It is so far past the line that it kind of pissed me off and made SE wave the Ban stick. Satisfaction smothered in gravy Mmmmmm! Jan. 22, 2009 11:00 [GMT] From: FINAL FANTASY XI Handling Misconducts (Jan. 22) In November 2008, we discovered an issue that allowed players to create multiple items for certain treasures and rewards in areas such as Salvage and Assault by exploiting the game system. The issue was fixed during emergency maintenance on November 26, 2008. However, we discovered that some players had already exploited the issue and used it to gain additional items before it was addressed. We then investigated more than a year's worth of logs throughout all areas. As a result of the investigation, approximately 400 players were temporarily suspended based on the evidence gathered. Approximately 550 players who committed more serious misconduct had their accounts banned. We are working hard to ensure that these kinds of issues do not occur again in FINAL FANTASY XI. However, if you discover any problems with the game system, please submit a GM call or fill out the feedback e-mail form to report the problems to us, instead of exploiting or spreading the issue. We thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Grabbing The Bull By The Horns !

BULLS EYE: ...............In Limbus last night I somehow accidently TaSa'd our LinkShell Thf Kallo. My friend Kallo is good at the Thf job and knows that a good Thf doesn't hog the spot behind the Tank. Well the second time I TaSa'd him it was on purpose..... or was that the third or fourth TaSa....I forget. Out of no where ...........one of the Tanks told me that Kallo was getting all paronoid and that I should TP right next to him so we could watch him go crazy. Well everytime I got next to him he would move away from me. It got to the point that it looked like we were playing "Ring Around The Rosie's" . Well anyway TaSa'ing Kallo all those times made me notice something about his Salmonly Pink colored panties. My eyes are still burning but what I saw was... a ....Bulls head! If you don't beleive me take a look for your self. Yes ......take a look....... it calls to you. Just ignore the skid marks...... NYZUL ISLE: ..............Woooooooooooooot finally Floor 100. Weapon Skillz x4 GO! INSURGENCY: ..............Check out the cool effect that looks like my Scythe is a comet slamming down on the monster. Stay tuned for a future Blog post of me Soloing Fusion with a Scythe. SIMURGH: ............After the Maintenence we tried to get Lguapo some Trotter Boots but someone already had the Claim. Mysteriuosly Hex was sending me /tells asking information about it. Did everyone else in the area have him Blisted but me LMAO? ...............................that's it for today heading to work ......See ya Online...really late tonight!

Pay Dem Bills!

.....................sorry guys lost T.V./Internet connection last night at the end of the 2nd Salvage run........ due to lack of paying the bill. I will be back on tonight if all works well or it may be a few days. If I cannot be online tonight I will let people know for tonights Versus/Obsidian/Nyzul Isle Events from my work internet connection before I leave later today. See ya online..... I hope.

Snolls, Heirs, and Watermelons..... GO!

COP SNOLL FIGHT: .................I helped my friend do the Snoll fight last night and besides just getting a free 1000 XP from it .....I took notice of something else. I know SE watered down COP stuff but come on........ this battle went from super tough .... to super lame. Anyway congrats to Zantrix and the other person who needed the win ! AGANA PAWNS SECTION: ................Also........ congrats to my friend Agana for getting her Ares Mask completed. SPLITTING HEIRS: ..................I did a few of these this week and I have to say since SE patched it....it definetly is alot harder now. We almost had the win a few times...... but crumbled under the Orc's might. I also agree with Mav too....that its all about the set up of the party, but I think 2 Tanks are required in this battle. It just seems that the ones we were closest to a win were also the ones where the Tank got his shit pushed in. NINJAFOX'S AVATAR ON BG FORUMS: .................Just gotta say this is cool as hell..... this summer I am gonna make 1 for a party! ....................................................that's it for now .....gonna be haveing some Sea action this week in Versus and I hope that means a Justice Torque drop Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ! See ya online !

Shadow Beastplate ~BAM

ARUBERU: ................Say hello to a little snoobish Taru Drk that I ran into. While waiting for some Campaigne battles I examined Aruberu's Bazaar ....but he kept Blinking by changing gears.....after doing this for 5 minutes .... I realized that he was doing this because he didn't want me to see his gears .........which were alot better then mine. What a little Taru Prick. Gears don't make the character ..............little Taru man.................... so shove off. WOW.... that felt gooood ;p LIMBUS: ..................tommorrow I will be @ 3/5's on Drg AF+1 set.......... I will be getting the Drachen Finger Gaunlets +1 (hands)........ This puts me at 16/20 Af+1 gears....... I even have both Limbus items for my 1st PLD AF+1 peice once I finish leveling it to 75 . CAMPAIGNE: ................I also did some campaigne team-up parties with my friends Rygar, Ravax, Kawinut, Eternalpain, and Derq and finally got enough points to get the Iron Ram greaves .........which puts me at 4/4 now. That means I can now start saving for the Iron Ram Body for when it gets released into the game. Unfortunetly during one of the Campaignes Eternalpain de-leveled on his Blm. Once he realizing that he lost XP from 3 deaths he became extremely pissed off and went to go solo. Note to people with no buffers...... sign up for Campaigne before you engage in battle. On a good note I aquired 3 more Merits from doing Campaigne and I am now @ 319 total. EINHERJAR: .................................Obsidian's is now 2/2 on Odin and look what I picked up...... A Phantasmal Body Abjuration. Here's what it's gonna take to make the cursed item for it. Smithing (100), Goldsmithing (?), Leathercraft (?) Yield:.......................... Cursed Breastplate HQ1: Cursed Breastplate -1 1 x Fire Crystal 2 x Orichalcum Sheet............. (only 4 ever in AH) 2 x Cerberus Leather............. (only 1 ever in AH) 2 x Dark Adaman Sheet 1 x Scintillant Ingot 1 x Rubber Harness ................(15,000 Ampoules) ................................I went from really happy..... to really sad......... alot Gil is gonna be needed to make this and I really don't have the funds................. ...............................Oh almost forgot .... Happy B-Day Qtipus ! .........................almost forgot about this too....... I had enough Ampoules to get an Iota Ring. Iota Ring Dex+3 Agi+3 Vit+3 Acc+3 This will replace my current Acc ring for a few Gear Macros depending on if it affects 6-hit builds or not in my set ups. The next item I will be looking to get with Ampoules is a Ritter Gorget for my up and comming PLD. .........see ya online ~BAM

Big -n- Meaty ....... flavored with "INSURGENCY"

................. Happy New Year WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!! ..............I know..... I know..... where the hell have I been with the big fat 0 posts for the past 6 weeks. Well.... I am sorry fellow readers but I had a few real life issues going on.... that somehow managed to suck all my free time away......lets just say that I was working extra hours and also was trying to help a friend of mine who was in a real jam. Well enough about that.....lets have that "Big -n- Meaty" post I was promising you. EINHERJAR: .................O.K the Obsidian Einherjar group got to battle it's 1st Odin fight and we won bish's! I also want to kill the person (I forgot who during the excitement) who told me I could actually run far enough away from that Odin's move the one your supposed to /heal to. I know everyone said to /heal plenty of times.... but hey... I am a dumb ass and thus was the only person who died from it. After the kill we got about 5 drops in which 1 of them went to my friend Izman which was the Valk Head piece. Now we have to look forward to more Odin battles and I picked up a Kubira Beads neck peice with my Ampoules. I will be using this for my Drk/Thf GreatSword WeaponSkill macro set ... well only temperary untill I get off my ass and get myself a Thunder Torque and Prudence Torque. Kubira Beads: (Neck) Def+5 Str+4 Dex+4 Damage Taken +5% MERITS, SKILL-UPS, CAMPAIGNE, NYZUL ISLE, & PLD: ..............O.K. I have been doing Campaigne again and now have the top available rank which is Wings Of Honer 4. In doing so I am now 15,000 points oway from getting the Iron Ram Feet peice which will put me 4/4 on that set untill SE releases the Body peice. I will be using those for my PLD which is the next job I am taking to 75. I also managed to snag the Gothic Gauntlets and tried for 2 weeks but failed on getting the feet for my PLD. I also snagged the Nyzul Isle Weapon Brave Sword so that once PLD 75 I can get the new Weapon Skill Atonement (Sword is at 233 Skill at the moment). ...............Meanwhile while doing Campaigne I managed to snag 9 more merits bringing me up to 316 Merits now. I dumped them into my Warrior job which is like 32 Merits left from Merit capping. ...............about Campaigne........normally people just sit at the NPC in their home past nation and then Warp to a place where the next Campaigne is after hearing it anounced over the chat log. I Instead just went to Vunker Inlet[S] so that I could Skill my Great Axe. Yes I tried Kuftal Tunnel where I got gobbled up by the NM Dragon and even tried that Campaigne Fortification trick and yes everyone was right it's not worth it because SE fixed it. The mobs will just attack you and kill you. However what some people don't know is you can go to Vunker Inlet[S] and while inbetween Campaigne's ....just kill the Easy Prey Crabs, Fishes, and Elementals there untill you Skill up to 210. I went from 126 to 208. I still need to finish Skilling this up to do the Steel Cyclone Quest ....but before I do that I need to finish the points on my PoleArm of Trials and get Impulse Drive........ but before that... errrrrrrrrrrrr well before doing that we need to talk about Nyzul Isle! ...............our Nyzul Isle team has earned NinjaFox and me Floor 85. From there I have earned all 4 of my 75 job weapons. DRK = Death Sickle Drg = Radient Lance War = Sturdy Axe Sam = Wind Slicer This means I needed about 760 Weapon Skill points for each weapon but instead I opted only to do the Drk one and leave the other 3 untill next Tuesday when hopefully we can get Floor 100 and then I will only need 250 points each weapon. Thus I spent my entire day off yesterday getting those points and with the help of a RingThree level Sync party I skilled it with my friend Glacian. At the end of the day ......me and my real life friend EternalPain headed to Vunker Inlet[S] and got me the new WeaponSkill Insurgency. Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot ! AGANA PAWNS SECTION: .................I know she has had it already for like 6 weeks now but hey better late then never .....LMAO Congrats Agana on the completion of Ares Cuirass! PAST BC'S: ................while sleeping with the fishes ..... I have aquired both Scythe's from the past Faucheuse and Vendetta. I personaly think that the Vendetta will finally be the weapon I choose over the Death Scythe +1. ....inwhich ....Well..... that's only if I can get the Earring to get the additional stats on it..... so for now ......the Vendetta remains....... just a -1 space holder. Vendetta (Scythe) DMG+97 Delay+528 Set Encreases: Str,Atk,Ra,Mab level 69 DRK ENM'S: .................I also did some ENMS with Ninjafox and Toder and we tried to make it a 3 person static in which we won 1 and lost 1. However it didn't go to far from there. Hopefully we can kick it back up again. ....................also finished another Quest bringingthe total to 327 complets and also earned the Myochin Domaru +1 (body) which brings me on Sam AF+1 a ratio of 3/5. ...................and there you have it......stay tuned for the next installment of Jess's Blog and hopefully it won't be another 6 weeks. ~BAM
