Hey, finally a social issues test where I actually come out Democrat, not Socialist…
Puppy?
What was I just saying yesterday? How there was that one last thing that had been sitting undone in FFXI that was taking forever? That’s right, Fenrir. I got an invite from Funnyginman, a Dragoon in my Linkshell. They needed a Black Mage, and were fine with me only being 65. (They just needed someone to Stun and magic burst, I guess.)
Party setup was NIN75/WAR37, DRK75/NIN37, DRG75/THF37, RDM75/BLM37, WHM70/BLM30, BLM65/RDM32 (me). So, as the only person who actually knows his way around Horutoto and Toraimarai, I guide them to Full Moon Fountain. We went in and were doing great, the DRK and I were alternating stuns back and forth. Then, the Dark Knight went down, turns out he forgot to actually use Utsusemi: Ni before fighting. (oops.) The White Mage Raise II’ed him on the fly, but not too long after that… Howling Moon and 4 of us go down… and the other 2 aren’t far behind. And all during the fight, I was only good for stunning. I couldn’t land anything unresisted.
Three minutes later, we all pop out, dead in a pile. Well, we have an idea…
I return to my homepoint. (I’m now only 85 exp into BLM65… heh.) I switch to RDM75/DRK37. I run through the shortcut, because I have that quest done, raise the White Mage, who then Raises everyone else. The Ninja warps back to town to get his evasion gear, (and I warp back to get my RDM AF, I accidentally grabbed my BLM AF… stupid “Warlock’s armor” and “Wizard’s armor” are so similar in name. We eventually reconvene (after guiding two other members back the long way) and go back into the fight.
