After getting through AC I decided to take a couple of days off to just relax from video games and recenter myself. I think I got caught up in the drive to clear off as many games as I could in a small amount of time that I didn't take the time to enjoy things. So I have been watching Eureka, Deadliest Catch, and Hulu. A lot of Hulu. I love me some Hulu. Its good to just relax and rest. Well that and I have over 400 episodes of shows on Hulu sitting there and waiting for me to watch for the past year, and that number grows every week. Sigh.
During this restful time I thought it would be good to get back into FFXI. Its nice to do this. I have a freeworld to do things in without have to follow too much of a linear path to a conclusion. Yes. I love the missions and quests and fights, but I could spend my whole day crafting if I wanted to (I would get a lot of Hulu watching done, thats for sure). With that in mind I wanted to get on a theme of some sort. So what should I do???
What should I do???
I know.
Get all my jobs up to at least level 20-25. That is what I will do. I only have warrior, dark knight, dancer, and ninja over that (they are 95, 60, 52, and 50 respectively). So I need to get the other 16 up. Some are close (paladin is at 19), while others are far (bard is the farthest at level 3). So its time I start to play some catch up with my jobs. Most everyone else has almost all if not all in the 90's. Its great to have a lot of variability when it comes to what you can help people with. Especially since all I have had was my warrior (WAR) and it has been quite limiting. Also, I have a lot of low level
So I started off with a job I never really wanted much to do with. Well, not that much with (I HATE bard (BRD)). That is white mage (WHM).
I had mine at lvl 11 and decided to take it with a basic equipment load to Gusgen Mines and joined a burn party. A burn party is one that is made up of many people all synced to a low level, attacking the same enemy. With the Ground of Valor system, all we have to do is kill certain enemies a set amount of times and we get a reward of experience points and other things. The more pages (like contracts) you do, the more experience you get. So its easy to rack up a lot in a short amount of time. So I worked with WHM and went from lvl 11 to 25 in 2.5 hours. I accumulated about 52k experience. It was purely insane.
This experience not only allowed me to rack up my WHM with lots of spells and help me to grow and like my WHM. It also resparked things for me in the game. I was pumped. I wanted to lvl EVERYTHING.
So what to do next??
Thats right. Dragoon. I have long thought about taking Dragoon to the top with my wyvern buddy. So I repeated the process again and took my DRG to Gusgen Mines and went to town. I got my DRG up to lvl 30 and realized that I like this different type of Damage Dealing (DD) job. WAR is a DD and a backup tank. You can do a lot of damage with a WAR, however DRG's bring something new to the table with their agility and piercing damage. And those damn wyverns helps as well.
So now that I got DRG up, I decided it was time to work on a good sub for my WAR, my DRG, as well as a good DD itself.
Samurai
SAM is a great DD. Their inherit ability to build up tactical points (TP) to use weapon skills, as well as abilities to increase stats that relate to attack and accuracy. AMAZING. Since they use a Great Katana which is a two handed weapon, when you sub them onto a WAR or DRG (a WAR using a Great Axe, also two handed) you will have a powerhouse. I can just say this. I really got into SAM. I felt like I was working with my WAR again. It just felt natural. I like going into battle and charging up and knowing that when I hit the monster I am doing some serious damage. Plain and simple. I am starting to love this job. Hell, there are great possibilities with this subbed onto my DRK as well.
Back to the matter at hand. I get my SAM up to lvl 31. I got out of Gusgen Mines and made my way over to the Crawler's Nest where I picked up with another burn party (there seems to always be one there anyways). I think now that I have grown to like SAM, I might shelve my earlier goal of all jobs to at least lvl 20-25, and take SAM all the way up. Its fun. I am having fun.
Holy hell do I love FFXI.
