I told him his King (Arthro) said "Ello",
but even that didn't change his mind into suddenly dropping a Damascene Cloth

So after all this AF mess an Aquarius encounter, I can finally say that I am 5/5 on ninja AF+1. As for the Mask itself I am going to use it a lot ! I macro it in for my ninjutsu, throwing and tanking set. AGI+8 is simply amazing. Too bad the mask looks so bad, otherwise I would run around in it full time

 

 

• Finally I would still like to dedicate some words to FFXIAH.com. In my eyes it's truly amazing and apart from wiki one of the most helpful tool out there for any FFXI player. Not only do I use it to check AH prices or to determine what guild item I should bring in for points, but I also use it to list the items I have in my bazaar for sale or what items I would like to purchase and for what price. Thanks to FFXIAH I was able to buy that Novio last month for only 15mil gil, while yesterday Microroll sent me a tell in game that he was willing to sell me a Genie Weskit for only 4mil. He read my offering price through ffxiah.com, so I implore you to make more use of these awesome FFXIAH tools as they'll bring you much more joy than you'd think

I was crossing Valkurn Dunes the other day and didn't see any harm in taking down a VE placeholder. Five minutes later our dear beloved Valkurn Emperor himself decided to pay his own wasteland a visit:

Now that's the way it's supposed to happen ever time !!! Get the NM to pop within 5 minutes and have it drop the item you want FFXI NM hunting would be so less frustrating ^^/

I am quite happy with my new rare/ex item as it suits me so much better. This way I was also able to sell my Emperor Hairpin for an extra 600k gil. All right !

Then I realized that it could just be my lucky FFXI day, so I rushed to the Leaping Lizzy Camp as fast as possible!!

Lately I find myself so much in love with Rare/Ex items (*^_^*) 

Now I hear you wondering what all this has to do with the title of this post, well feel free to take a look at the King Arthro Section

After Two weeks of camping King Arthro I am starting to feel a little depressed. Not only does it seem that more and more people are starting to come to camp, but moreover I also get the feeling that a lot of people are in fact using bots. This way a winning pull on my end seems more than just wishful thinking to me.

At my last camp (when KA was due to pop) I just kept hitting the "Provoke button" in the Job abilities menu like crazy and this is what I got:

I didn't stand a chance, KA was claimed even before I saw a first glimpse of him :/

I am really starting to wonder if I am not just wasting my time at this camp…

Edit: Vanth and me got claim today ! Noremorse joined the party to lend his TH4 – No drop though lol :'(

Besides the (RDM) AF2 for which I am still cursed, there have been three pieces of items which I had my eye on for a while:

* Dropped by Jailer of Love in Sea
* Is (one of) the best Earring a BLM can have
* Novio is Spanish for Boyfriend
*** +/- Current price on the Shiva Server: 30 000 000 gil ***

* Is dropped in the KS99 "The Early Bird catches the worm"
* The Rare/Ex version – Velocious Belt – is still being dropped by King Arthro
* Is more a status item than anything else…
*** +/- Current price on the Shiva Server: 25 000 000 gil ***

* Can only be crafted
* Although HQing is tough, the costs of the ingredients is around 20k
*** +/- Current price on the Shiva Server: 5 000 000 gil ***

Well I thought about this a long time and finally decided to spend a lot portion of my gil on one of the items above. Let's see if you can figure out which one I bought by just following me in this strange logic:

• 2% = 2%
• Novio Earring is almost like wearing a Genie Weskit on your right ear
• Jailer of Love needs a lot of people to kill
• I could duo King Arthro with Beatrice
• Currently I am not really active in any HNM/SKY/SEA Linkshell
• With a lot of people doing salvage, they sell there Genie Weskit as soon as they acquire their Morrigan's Robe. This combined with the increased level of bonecrafters out there, make the price of Genie weskit drop drastically. On top of that I am attending Salvage as much as possible…

I got a FFXIAH message from "CDOG" of Kujata asking me if I was interesting in buying as he was saving up to buy a Kraken Club. He said he would settle for the price of 15 mil gil which seemed more than fair to me. With my irregular play and not being active in any Endgame linkshell, I felt it was better to spend 15 mil on a M. Att. +7 earring for my BLM (on which I do dynamis with and merit most of the time anyway) than to cough up 25 mil just to upgrade from a swift belt to a speed belt.

Even though I got a good price, I am still kind of sad that I wont be able now to buy a speed anymore. It will take a while before I have a decent amount of money again… I just hope the expansion will bring some new, good and enriching Clothcrafting recipes !
