MP Drainsmooch

First, look what I got:


Then, I'd like to know one thing: Why do I never see BLUs use MP Drainkiss in Dynamis...? It's always double dark weather, and so many mobs in Dynamis have MP. They're also all DC to level 75 players.

Well Played: Rapakya

This guy puts Keiko to shame (well maybe not, but still pretty badass):

• How to duo Mother Globe
• Soloing Fenrir

Addendum: Rare Swords

Good evening, class.

One of your peers pointed out that I missed a few important swords for Blue Mage during yesterday's lesson. Let's begin.

Blue Mage 101: Your Sword and You

Good evening, class.

Today, I overheard a conversation about a particular sword. Maybe you've heard of it:

Sad. Face.

Featured Friend: Firewall

Name: Firewall
Jobs: WAR, BLM, RNG, BRD, WHM*
Relation: Partner in Crime

How We Met: Once upon a golden afternoon, Eremes, a lowly THF, had taken steed to the Pashhow Marshlands to slay and collect blood from fallen leeches. But hark! A Galka calls! The stalwart man-mountain sought an extra derriere to sit on a switch in the Garlaige Citadel, so very far from the marshes.

The THF had considered denying the request; his pockets were lined with nothing but lint and he was in dire need of new accouterments. Still, the call of a Galka cannot be resisted--not by his kind--and so he made haste for the dilapidated fortress in the Champaign mountains.

And what came of it? The behemoth had obtained a pair of old gloves from a coffer therein. Who would have known it would have led to such an enduring amistad. The Galka needed an apprentice, and the THF needed a mentor, and so, the two were bound 'til the end of their days.


What Do I Think?: Firewall is probably one of my best friends on FFXI, who I met through FFXI. It kind of weirded me out to think I could have a fast friendship with someone through an online game, but I've been embracing virtual camaraderie more and more. Even if it isn't the same as a friendship in person, it's completely analogous to one, and we're rapidly moving into a world where relationships like this will become all the more common.

If I had an adoptive older brother, it'd probably be him (which is funny because I'm actually older).

And to Omari: We are not married, but I won't forget to invite you to the shower.

Fun Fact(s): FW has access to at least 4 accounts at any given time. He has Cooking and Woodworking crafts, but doesn't level them!

Job He Should Play Next: He'll probably never get around to it, but I will say PLD. He loves tanking, though you wouldn't necessarily know it.

*On his 'mule.'
