Wow, look at what I found!

White Mage Macros

If you only knew the extent of my macros...

>.< ;

I will try to recreate them here (if my memory serves me correctly). The first line is what I named them, so at a glance when I hit my macro pallet, I see in simple form.

(I add replace Barblizzera with Barthundra if I have to)

Ctl 8

/equip legs "Cleric's Pantaloons" <me>
/ma "Barsleepra" <me>
//ma "Barpoisonra" <me>
//ma "Barparalyzra" <me>
//ma "Barpetra" <me>

(Again, Barblindra and Barvira are added in place of another, if needed)

/wait 4
/equip neck "Enhancing Torque" <me>
/ma "Protectra IV" <me>
/wait 9
/ma "Shellra IV" <me>

(Usually I take out the /p and the /wait if I'm in a party for a long time, just so not to annoy people)

Ctl 0
Target
/assist "Tank name"
/equip main "Templar Mace" <me>
/equip sub "Numinous shield" <me>
/equip body "Noble's Tunic" <me>
/equip legs "Blessed Trousers" <me>
/equip waist "Penitent's Rope" <me>

This targets the mob that the Tank is dealing with. I don't bother with <bt> because way too often things can go bad if there are links.
(This is mainly my miscellaneous equip change, to make sure I have my regular gear on, in case I had done an equip change with another spell and I need to be in this stuff. This is changed often, depending on what gear I am using)

Needless to say, I blink in and out of existence constantly. I don't have -na spells in my macro pallet because I use Ctl + M to bring up my magic spell list, and I always leave selection on -na spells, so all I have to do is scroll up or down to find the appropriate one (which I do rather quickly). This also holds true for Curaga, because Curaga is only a few spells up from my -na spells.

I also don't have Job Abilities Macroed in either. I just use Ctl + J to bring up the Job Ability menu, and scroll up or down for my job abilities. Same thing for weapon skills (if I am skilling up). I just use Ctl + W.

To target party members, I use the F2-F6 keys respectively. If I am in an Alliance, I just type /ta "Name". Another thing, once you get used to using macros, you may use them less and less. I actually have been typing out all my spells, mainly due to the fact of horrible lag and my spells may not go off (this is especially true in Dynamis, Besieged, and certain HNM fights)


<t> is in all of my macros (unless it's a <me> target for self-only spells or equip changes). I don't like to use <bt> (as I said above) or <stpc> because with <stpc> you have hit enter again for the spell to go off. The only time I use <stpc> is when I am skilling up, and I am engaged on a mob, and it's not possible to use /ma "Haste" <t>. 

We have returned...

My husband were invited to a nostalgic Facebook group called "FFXI - Bismarck". And after only 1 day, we decided to try to return to the game that changed our lives forever. We're both in the process of downloading the massive updates, and my husband is trying to get his PlayOnline ID transferred to the Square Enix account, so I don't know when we'll actually get into the game.

We played this game 6+ years ago, so I don't know what we're expecting once we return. We're also married with 2 kids (6 year old daughter and 4 year old son), so our familial responsibilities cannot be jeopardized.

Mark today, May 1, 2016, that Bellemithra and Vaulout are returning to Vana'diel.

I'm Back!

Well, I was on hiatus for a few months back. After the last post, I took a much-needed break from game. My husband and I both returned in January and it's been swell. One of our best friends (Durandel) made a linkshell and it's only a small group of us and I love it. We also applied (and got accepted) into an endgame linkshell, called "Fusion" which so far is pretty cool. The leaders are decent and the other members are cool. Only time will tell. (I don't want a repeat of rockage).

Other than that, some accomplishments:
Finished WOtG to 15.
Sandy Rank 10
Unlcoked Scholar - it is now level 41

...and that's about it. LoL

I'll try to start posting more regularly again. =) Ta ta for now!

Extreme Makeover, Mog House Edition

Hello and welcome to my humble abode. I reside in San d'Oria. Even though I am a Mithra, my heart belongs to this wonderfully pompous kingdom. Please, take a step inside my home. I love having visitors.






On the right of entering, I call this my Christmas Corner - where it's Christmas all the time!!! It's my favorite holiday, and I just adore the beautiful colors and twinkling lights.









Next to all of my Christmasy things are all of my beautiful eggs that I collected during the Easter events.










There's Moogle, welcoming you to my humble abode.











On the left of entering my home is my quaint kitchen area. Pull out a stool and have some tea!










Here is my cupboard and other storage items.











The back hallway, leading towards the fireplace and bedroom. This is where I store extra armor.










Here is the hall. Look! There's my bed!











Cozy little corner where I sleep. I have a beautiful palm tree, next to my bureau. There's my VHS Plaque!











Here's me welcoming you to my little Mog House.











It was nice having you over! Please stop by again!

Not much of an update. I have been working on my website a lot lately - mostly the Pictures Page. Take a look at it if you desire, I have some nice shots, along with a section just for artwork.

We (Me, Vaul, and Durandel) were on an NM kick for the past few months. Got them some nice shiney items. Let's see:


Moldavite Earring for Vaulout




Jelly Ring for Vaulout and Durandel






Acha d'Armas for Durandel





Astral Aspis for Me








Not much more to post about. Just been having fun with my friends, meriting, NM camping, and crafting. Ta ta!

Monday, January 22, 2007

Soooo Not much going on. We started to level other jobs. I went back to Paladin, Vaul went back to Black Mage, and Durandel is leveling his Warior.



Thadin is also on Dragoon, but I don't have a picture of him. /cry

I recently downloaded fraps. Man oh man, that is the BEST program ever! It lets me take way better screenshots. They are much better quality, and you can take a picture of the chatlog, stats, etc.

Here are some interesting/funny occurances from the past few days.












{Sky} News

Genbu: Pwned!
{Genbu's Shield} {mine}!

Take a look at how uber this shield is! My whitemage is complete (for sky drops anyway). Just have to complete my Cleric set and I'm the uberest! (j/k)

Happy 2007

I hope everyone is doing well, had a Merry Christmahanukakwanzaka and a Happy New Year. Not much has been happening in game, just been meriting on the good 'ole WHM, un-retired my PLD (which is now 53) and doing all kinds of uber map quests. My in-game goal is to get every map available. I know it'll take me a long time, but it's just something I really want to do.

Anyway, I'll make a short story long.... /giggle


So yesterday I was just hanging out in game all day (no work ftw!) when I was just talking to one of my friends. I had told him I got Hexa Strike last week and he said the usual {Congratulations!}, then went on about how uber I would be with certain gear (Reverend mail, seawolf cudgel, robber cudgel, etc) to sub nin and then I might be able to solo something. (My nin is lvl 1... Lmao) Well, I told him, "I thought I told you I had my Reverend mail" He replies, "{Holy} {Calamity} you do???! Helllll yeaaah! All you need is Seawolf cudgel and you're set!" So I reply, "Hmmmmmmm seawolf cudgel huh? Who drops that?" He says, "NM on the ship to Mhaura" I say, "Coooool"


I hop on alla and look up info on the cudgel. Pretty nice item,if you ask me!






Hmmm Silverhook huh? Level 0? O_o /panic Meh, I can try. So I head to Selbina.....and get on the ship. No pirates. Ok, so I tele-holla and go back to Selbina. Again no pirates. Finally, I get like the 5th ship, and FINALLY pirates spawn (I learned about the chatlog trick with how the zone loads) but unfortunately, the middle pirate is not wearing a vermy cloak, soooo no Silverhook. /cry


Eventually, friends join me, so at this point, I have 4 friends trying to help me with the quest (aka help me keep my sanity from taking the ship so many darned times)
On like, the 12th ship, pirates spawn, the middle guy is wearing a vermy, AND SILVERHOOK SPAWNS! We pwn him... and THE CUDGEL DROPS! I was literally jumping out of my chair. My friends (Bless them) all passed on the cudgel and let me have it!!!!! I was so so happy.
We stayed on the ship for about 7 more rides, trying to get my other whm friend the cudgel. Unfortunately, the pirates only spawned one more time, and the middle guy wasn�t wearing a vermy, so... /sigh no Silverhook. And everyone was going insane on the ship, so we called it quits for the day.

Here's a long story short:
Camped Ship to Mhaura all day.
Silverhook spawned, got claim, got drop.
Seawolf Cudgel {mine}!

2006 Starlight Celebration

2006 Starlight Celebration




Ah yes, it's that time of the year again where children, and children at heart, whisper their dreams and wishes to the stars--it's time for the Starlight Celebration! The people of Vana'diel are busy trimming up their towns with festive decorations, all to ring in this exciting event.

What's this? Something is going on in the courtyard! Let's see if the Moogles can fill us in...

*The Starlight Celebration will be held from Monday, December 18 to Sunday, December 31.

Master, Master!
The Starlight Celebration is here again, kupo!



The lights! The sweets! The presents!
Just thinking about the fun keeps me awake all night, kupo!

............Ummm...

......Hrmmm............
Alright, you got me! I just can't keep a secret away from my favorite adventurer...

As you already know, the Starlight Celebration will begin in a few days. But what you don't know is that we Moogles are in a pickle, kupo. The trees that we had made for this year's festivities have vanished from Windurst! And what's worse, a terrifying treant has suddenly shown up at the Dhalmel Farm and is wreaking havoc on the locals, kupo!

Come to think of it, I haven't heard from my brothers and sisters working in Bastok and San d'Oria. What if there are crazy trees running amok in their towns as well...?



Wait a minute... Treants in the towns...?

Didn't something like this happen a few years ago? There was some kind of freak accident at the Rhinostery in Windurst, right? If this is the same thing, we're in biiig trouble!

Anyway, as long as these freaks of nature are trouncing about our towns, everybody will be too scared to come out and take part in the Starlight Celebration's festivities, kupo! Even the smilebringers have said that they won't pass out their presents until they're sure the children will be safe.



Ah, what to do? What to do!?
The treant won't go away, kupo!

Well, I guess it has come down to this...
My colleagues and I must take up arms to protect the city from fear!
Oh, don't worry. We'll do all the work. But, we sure could use a cheer or two from our humble masters, kupo!

Event Period
After the 12/19/2006 (Tuesday) maintenance, until 12/31/06 (Sunday) 24:00.

Event Locations
During the event, in the below areas, a moogle will be ferociously fighting a treant wandering in the city.

Northern San d'Oria / Bastok Market / Windurst Woods

Event Stores
The below areas will have some Starlight Festival-related items for sale temporarily during the event.
- Northern San d'Oria D-8
- Port Bastok L-8
- Windurst Waters G-10



2006 Starlight Celebration: How To

First and foremost, TURN ON EMOTE FILTER. Trust me on this, or suffer from the spam of your chatlog passing by your eyes faster than the speed of sound. Also go to a moogle and buy a hat for 10k if you don't already have one.

Start out talking to any of the Dream Gear-wearing NPCs of any of the three regions for the event.

North San d'Oria: Charmealaut, F-7
Windurt Woods: Atagei-Portagei, H-8
Bastok Markets: Christina, D-11

They will give you a present for the kiddies, trade it to any child npc you can find; you'll know if it is an ok NPC by getting a message similar to:

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
You've brought barrelfulls of joy to the children of Vana'diel!

After that go find the tree! (You'll know the tree has spawned because the NPC with Dream Gear will disappear)
Once you find the tree spam "/cheer" it to death like everyone else around you, until he vanishes.
Go talk to the NPC and he will tell you to find the fake smile bringer.
So..... find the Fake Smile Bringer; they change each time. He'll be wearing a Dream Hat and when you click on him, a moogle will spawn.
Go talk to the orginal NPC and he'll give you a reward.

Sandy: Dream Platter
Windy: Dream Stocking
Bastok: Dream Coffer
Dream robe
Dream robe +1
Various fireworks


Dream Coffer and Dream Platter


Dream Stocking


My MH ^.~

If you recieve fireworks as a reward, that means you have't recieved enough love from the kiddies. Just keep trading them presents (either the rare/ex one the NPC gives you, or the fireworks) If you trade them all, the kids will love you. You can check your love-fame by talking to the NPC. If you recieve enough love, the NPC will offer to send you to another nation, so you can continue the event.

Basically, you want to get all three furnishing items, and then try for the dream robes.
