About

No I didn't buy my char. on ebay hehe. Started playing FFXI since around the PS2 release, in March 2004. Started on Ifrit server, and moved to Bahamut server in July 2007. If you were directed here via a linkshell application, you can check out the drama-torama background thread. The purpose of me making that thread, was to showcase the personalities of those I moved to rid myself of. Nothing to hide. Bring popcorn... its a very interesting/entertaining read.

Having leveled Dragoon as my starting job, was sort of forced to master party mechanics as I got pretty fed up of seeking around DRG47. Since then, and through trial, experience, and improvement, getting xp wherever, or whenever comes pretty naturally. So jobs just keep stacking up. I plan to get BST to 66, then work on WAR to 66, followed by MNK to 66. Many people have spent most of their game years working toward a Relic weapon. Maat's cap is my relic of sorts. I hope to get there soon. DRG > BLM > PLD > RDM > SMN > NIN > RNG > WHM > BRD > DRK > THF > SAM > BST

No, I don't play ffxi all day every day ;-) I work a regular 9-7 (EST) job. I usually get on about 6-7PM+ (till 11pm or 12 am) on days I don't have RL commitments, and varies on the weekend, but usually most of the day if I am home that day.

For jobs, I have my most fun with melee/front-line roles and these are the ones I usually focus on gearing and meriting. You can see this from my Ninja and Samurai merits (these two are quite the forces of nature in a fight). The jobs I love the most are Dragoon (tho least merited), Ninja (dd style, not as evasion tank), and most recently Samurai.

The mage selection I use mostly to be helpful to the alliance or linkshell when needed. I think Bard and White Mage are the only ones among the support/healer roles I've really put a decent pool of merits into (though nothing crazy). This is not to say I don't understand or perform well with most of the jobs I have... but only so many can be improved at a time. I try to focus on the key improvements/areas for each... with the exception of Red Mage ('fresh/heal whore onry).
