Return to FFXI

[Solarias]

Hey everyone!

Long time no see! Since I last played in mid August... I have been super busy with my last semester of college. I graduate on December 18th!

I have been paying my monthly fees and even bought Chains of Promathia when it first came out.... never knowing when I would find a moment of free time. Never really did, lol.

I just wanted to say that I'll be back in action soon. I've been logging in here and there for a few minutes... but I'll be back in full force after this week when finals are over.

I was hoping to find out what new things have happened since I have been away. I know that there was a big update patch on the 9th which gives us thieves a new ability (which i am quite excited about... assassin). I check in on Allakhazam every now and then but I was hoping to hear something from you all.

Hope all is well and I hope that many of you haven't run off to WoW or EQ2. There are sooo many new MMOs lately. Even the Matrix online is coming out in Jan! Overkill with MMO!

welcome back. I think they've messed with foods and stuff, some new armor too. not sure what else.

Suffice to say, this isn't FFXI as how you left it. The AH has been revamped, most NMs have far larger spawn areas, we're still figuring out what they did with Food, and there are, of course, hundreds of new items. But change is for the better, ne?

 

[Solarias]

I've found changes in music too... the title screen... and Jeuno too! Is the Jeuno music new for the holidays or for the expansion pack?

What changes to the AH? WE CAN SELL MORE THAN 7 ITEMS??? I wish!

I noticed on allakhazam that there are now weapons with charges. How cool is that? How does that work? Can you recharge the item? (and what is involved with that?)

PS.. sorry for all of the newb questions. I promise that I have helped my fair share of newbs.

LS

If your still in TheWatchers, Cade quit (again) and Peppy (new leader) made a new LS with most of the same members called FinalBeginning

 

[Solarias]

Yes... so I've heard. I caught up with Peppy last night outside of Quifim. He gave me a new pearl. I heard that Cade left to go to WoW.

Peppy is awesome though. I am glad to know he is the new leader.

Does FinalBeginning have a new LS website like The Watchers does?

WB Solarias. I deleted you from my friends list because I haven't seen you for so long. X(

As for the Jeuno music, it's for the holidays. I was surprised when I got there today, because I hadn't been there since the holday stuff started.

The Jeuno music is just for the holidays.

The AH fees system has been changed... 2% tax in Jeuno, 1% in the 3 cities based on selling price. Yes, that means your 500k item has a 10k AH fee in Jeuno. >_<

Enchanted items work like spells. You equip the item, wait for it to charge up (usually 30 seconds), use it like a normal item, then wait for however many hours for it to recharge (Enchantment: Warp items have a 24 hour recast, but that's about as long as they get.) Once you run out of charges, the item will revert to it's enchantment-less form (Warp cudgel turns into a cudgel... you get the idea.) and it can be synthed back to the enchanted version.
Or at least that's how I understand it.

Swishiee!! Aww... that's sad that you deleted me.... but perhaps I should do a purge of my buddy list. I know many people that are on it and that have switched to WoW.

I hope to see you online soon! Good talking with you.

Thank you so much for your time to explain this to me. I really, really appriciate it.

I really enjoy the new jeuno music. It was stuck in my head today!
