Weekend Report
Wow this weekend went by fast even without the normal hustle to squeeze in as much FFXI stuff as possible when I am playing. We did Jailer of Love Friday night. Not unsurprisingly we killed with little difficulty. The only deaths were to Shortie who died from astral flowed phaubos twice. Only the spear dropped. This was depressing, but I'm glad the torque did not drop as someone who only comes for things they need is next up for the torque and I would rather they have to wait as long as possible.
The focus of the weekend was dark knight. Friday night I was 68 or 69. Monday night I was 74 with less than 35000 experience points to go. I made a level or two with linkshell parties that was kind enough to let me come as dark knight. Another level or two was pushed out with decent parties in caedarva mire. I managed to solo another 30-40k. The exp while soloing was great for solo. I was averaging more than 1000 exp every three imps. Of course I had Coitha healing, but exp is exp! My goal was 75 for Limbus tonight, but that isn't going to happen. Oh well, I can wait to lot on Homam. If I had spent my Saturday and Sunday mornings more efficently I believe I could have made 75. Only 5000 imperial standing points to a perdu scythe!
Sunday evening was all about Assault. We only had five more assaults for Captain. We managed to pull off the win from all four Assaults we did even after some pretty epic deaths and recoveries. On Hydra we practically alternated between monk tanks as they had a tendancy to die one after the other. The difficulty in fights went King Goldemar, Orochi, Black Shuck, Dracula for us. Dracula was a joke. He didn't charm until the last 1% of the fight and was easily kited. Our whm got the kill with Banish III on him.
Monday was dedicated to Khimaira 14x. This went so bad we lost. Everyone was excited. We would be getting Captain rank. Our strategy was to hold the moblin while stunning his dice rolls. Turns out his rolls couldn't be stunned and Khimaira couldn't be stunned. We ended up wiping when the mages ran out of mp. We recovered with five minutes left. We quickly killed the moblin and rushed Khimaira. We were kicked out with four percent or so left. We'll get it tonight before I do Limbus hopefully.
Update: I wonder what I did to screw up the quality of those images. Saved them wrong probably.
