sea access

this weekend, with the help of my endgame shell, i was finally able to get sea access after 9 arduous hours of cutscenes, fights, running around, annoyingness. we started around 1:30 pm EST and finished at about 2:30 am (with 3 hours taken out for our sky event.) mind you, it took this long to get from 5-3 to 8-1 ... i'm still in a fair amount of pain.

if you're wondering what happened to my PM static, there's some drama involved there and it's an "eye for an eye" situation as to why i went on w/o them, BUT, i am not leaving them in the lurch and i am helping them get access still b/c that's how i am.

anyway ... maybe i'll write something in the rant section.

yay, sea! /falls asleep

lol congrats Dio

Congratz!!!!!!

hehe, thank you. now that i HAVE sea, i should be able to come back and help you guys if you need it also. a lot of the fights are bastards, but let me know. the fights that might be the toughest are: the fights for the three paths (mithra, snoll and goblins) the airship fight and maybe a few others. the promies are more frustrating because there is a LOT of running around involved.

yay! grats dear

Grats Dio-babe

thank you guys! ^^

WTG Dio. 9 freaking hours.. HOLY COW.. That made my tailbone hurt just thinking of sitting still that long.

congrats dio!

yeah, it was pretty painful. what was worse is that towards the end, before my tenzen fight, i had to run back to bastok and talk to cid, then go to oldton movopolous and then back to cid ... the next part of the mission wouldn't be ready until the next vana'diel day and as i was running, it was 18:00 and i was SCRAMBLING to get to cid in time before 0:00 so that i could start the next mission AFTER 0:00 ... guess what time i got to cid. 0:35 ... -_- yeah, NOT happy ... mind you, it was about 12:30 am at this point and i had to wait an hour ... ugh. i ended up switching over to watch SNL while the party members went and did a BCNM. i ended up dozing off, but woke up right before i had to talk to cid, so that was good timing.


i've never done anything quite so painful in game ever ...

but thank you, guys. only took me 3 years. xD

haha sounds fun dio, try this one, 15 hour party, straight (only breaks was when replacements were needed) Naughty, Roddick, and I, and i think Roddick was there for most of that pt too, and yes actually 15 HOURS sittin in the same spot without moving or anything lol at the end i was so tired and sore that i didnt even make it to my bed that was less then 2 feet away lol i think as i got up to go to bed i passed out and i woke up like 20hrs later on the floor, when i got up i even had some dog hair stuck to my face >.< it wasnt pretty, but starting the pt at just the right lvl to go to CN, and breazing through it untill just about eveything was toughs or lower, we got almost 6 lvls i think it was, hell maybe even 7 XD was fun, till i woke up with a partial beard XD lmao and i doubt very much i could ever be in a pt that long again

ROFLMAO!!! /crys with laughter!!!!

Ugh.. Been there and done that on teh never ending pt's as both bard and whitemage you get held hostage in pts. They guilt trip you with.. "the pt will disband once you leave" Sooo I end up staying and many hours later stumble from teh screen wondering if there was a detoxx program for FFXI.. I guess I took the hard route and cold turkey... IM OFF THE WAGON.. LET ME BACK!!!!! ::torches the wagon::

yeah, I remember that party back in my unemployed days...I went from 35 to 42 with my blm even though at that point I had only planned on leveling it to 40. LOL! Definitely a painful experience for my ass.

Oh and congratulatoins Diolicious, I hope to be there with you someday, although not in one day for me thanks ^ ^

since this has, for some reason, turned into a pissing contest, i guess i will regale you with my longest pt tale. the longest party i was in i took DRG from level 11 to level 37 ... breezed through the dunes, qufim, the jungles, garlaige citidel and we ended in crawler's nest. i was home sick from work and i partied from the moment i got up until the moment i signed off for bed.

surprisingly, that was LESS painful than my promy experience.

thank you roddybaby.

wasnt tryin to make it a pissin contest or anything, was more of an "i can relate" story lol the fact that after that pt i had dropped to the floor and slept there for a long period of time, i thought i would share, Naughty cant stop laughin at me cause of it haha

oh i know, i'm just fuxing with ya, but i want pictures and i KNOW she's got them of you sprawled on the floor, drooling into a pile of dog hair ... PICS naughty PICS!!!

XD she wishes she had pics of that lmao, but it was b4 we were living together and she was still in the UK so no pics available lol :: WOOOOOOO ::

nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ::takes a breath:: uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
uuuuuuuuu

i want pics!

Congrats Dio on gaining Sea access. Your help will be greatly appreciated that is for sure and especially your exp. having done the fights. We will keep you posted.

What exactly do "sea Access" give you? Like the mario underwater level? lol
Still gotta say again Grats!!

lol ... yeah, and the super mario underworld music plays ... do do do do do doot .... do do do do do doot ... do do do-meh ... doesn't have the same effect whey you try to write it down, but you know what i mean.

sea is just the opposite of sky ... it's my new favorite zone simple for its cool appearance. you walk around on top of the water and below you there are mobs referred to as "sharks" that can aggro you and you can't target them until they aggro, kinda like the chigoes out in the bhaflau thickets. there's also huge flower type mobs that fly way up in the sky above you and they also aggro you and you also cannot target them until they aggro ... everyone calls those "ufos". sea is where you go to do limbus events, which can drop some great gear or give you materials for making AF +1 gear. i just got materials to make AF +1s for SAM, BLU and DNC the other night.


this is a panoramic view of sea, though it doesn't quite give you the full effect of it. you walk on top of the water.

the draw to sea is that there are sea gods (just like sky gods) that you kill as an LS and get some good drops. i, for example, want a justice torque very very badly ... it offers great katana skill +7 which will push my GK skill to 306 (i believe) plus it gives other stats, but that's just an example. i want to come in here and just explore soon.

Ahh still think it would be cooler if they made "sea" a swimming zone. Full mario music and swinging fireball chains and the works. lol

rofl, yeah ... but, you know how it is ... ps2 limitations.
