Warrior Ring Charge

Ah,
Final Fantasy XI - Warrior
Fighting more goblins.
Warrior. I never seriously thought I'd have you any higher than 37 for a subjob, and now here you are... reaching the AF-quest levels.

Nothing too spectacular from an adventuring perspective today, I suppose. Neyla and I went to the desert to burn off an Empress Band charge. We did three rounds of Fields of Valor while we were there and managed to get to Lv. 50.

Our next step will be questing the Warrior Artifact Armor. I have no clue if any of it is worth using -- the upside of leveling jobs outside of the conventional party system is a complete lack of concern about having "good" gear -- but I'll quest it just the same. If nothing else, my mannequin can show it off before I sink it into NPC storage.

Sandsick

We're

I've got sand in my shorts from all this desert living.
getting really sick of the desert. After we finished the escort and Neyla suggested we shoot for Lv. 49 on our Warrior jobs, he said he was going to look up a new camp. Unfortunately, nothing looked good. We trekked back out onto the sand.

We did the normal rounds of antican fighting, but then we advanced to Page 4 to fight goblins. That was pretty cool, actually. The goblins all roam near the outpost, so you're near a Field Manual when you need to renew buffs. I don't know if we'll be doing any more sessions there or moving on, but it didn't suck too bad.

Of course, I was watching Seinfeld DVDs at the time. That's enough entertainment to keep the urge to curse the sands at bay.

In other news, Neyla forwarded his player stats to me.

"PLD and Campaign have a lot to do with the KOs at this point," he pointed out.
