Got 59 ^^ almost time to get that snazzy hat!

Breaking 400 on quickdraw without a problem^^

Dinged 46 last night and running out of ammo fast.

Stopping to make more bullets for now and looking forward to AF soon.

Your face is the longest 2 years ever.


Anyway, in my continuing effort to (not really) catch Miel on COR, I've dinged 51.

Culotte, Tricorne, Gants and Frac are finished. Just the Bottes left and plenty more leveling.

Obtained: Gold Ballista Chevron

I'm stuck at 51 with only bad party invites...

What can I do? :<

So this turned out funny imo. Me and a rdm friend went to go duo ix'aern (mnk). We get there buff and he was going pop nm, use powder boots to pull to camp die to despawn all links and id pull it with QD and kite around till he was rdy. Well he pops and tries to make it cept one of the balls ends up getting a sleepga on him. He makes it just outside the room with mnk no where to be seen and dies. I went back to ??? and he was there, shot it and ran.

I'm expecting massive links when i get to room but all i have w as 3 extra aerns and one pet wyvern. I kite for a bit trying to sleep them for some reason and end up akn a beating and my hp drops to about 100. So i eep kitting around room and all link just despawn, yay! My rdm ended up rring but died again so he hps. By the time he gets back i got mnk at 60% health and i have full hp. I was able to kite it around, qd, use my rolls and keep shadows up the whole time without ever being in danger. Im pretty sure I could of soloed it cept my friend came back and tossed some dots and some tire3 spells to speed up the process.

My qd did a lil over 200 with my mab/agi set up. No cape sadly. And I was a cor/nin with crimson legs.

P.S. I love dnc roll because of this^^

ding! 52

Doing AF now, Hydrogauge took a while but just as i was asking a fellow COR how long it took him i hooked it up. Luck of the irish!

Conga-rats to all! (apparently I'm a bilge rat go!)

Got my Quicksilver a little while back. It's a big deal to me, but I'm already (back to) dwelling on Denali Jacket =/

Can't really blame me, it's terrific for weaponskilling, our best Body for QD, and also very purrty town gear.. Want :3 I'm so sick of the AF and Pahluwan look ~.~; And in Salvage I'd actually want a Cumulus..^^

On a related note, I'm really starting to hate Nyzul hands.. Because that's all my static wants to do. Tonight will mark like sixteen 60 runs in a row (25ish total I'd guess), though I guess I can understand, Askar and Goliard hands look real good. But damnit they need to start dropping so we can move onto 80s again (currently 1/16 there).

After 10 months of doing 6-7 Nyzul runs per week, I finally have all the gear I want from it: Denali Feet/Legs/Body and Quicksilver for COR, and Goliard Feet/Hands/Head/Werebuster for WHM, as well as a bunch of random Nyzul weapons and an Askar Body in case I ever level a job that can use it. Most of the rest of our group is close to being similarly maxed out, and we're starting to make the transition to doing Salvage. Just did Salvage run #7 last night (Zhayolm attempt #1), and our first 35 drop, Freya's Trousers, went to me ^^.

Last week, I bought Dusk Trousers and:
Yay, I got my Quicksilver tonight!

So, apart from Salvage gear, my COR is pretty much finished gear wise. Well, until SE release more info about the new relics...

Well, it's nothing compared to some of the more /droooool accomplishments I've seen here, but it's a big deal for me!

2 1/2 months after re-starting FFXI from scratch - I finally got what I've been dreaming about - Slug Shot - and it's even better than I imagined it to be. The funny/sad part was that when I first hit 55, I figured I'd have Slugshot since with the Gun Belt I'd be above 175 skill. Sadly, even after capping out my skill that level I did not learn Slug. It was then told to me that the Gun Belt +5 Marksmanship allows you to use Slug Shot one level earlier if you had already learned the skill - to learn the skill requires the base hitting 175. Doh!!! But earlier this week I got Genkai 2 done and last night I hit 56 (and 57).

Oh man!!! Slugshot is so fun!!! Last night's highest hit was around 1060 with a decent Chaos roll (no DRK in party though!!! drat!!! wasn't IV or XI either), Minuet III, & Warcry on a Lesser Colibri. I felt powerful. It's exactly the chain-saver that I had hoped to be and it lets me feel like I can accomplish that role with ease.

<happy Corsair>

Jaws dropped again. Let me go cry in a corner.

In all seriousness, thanks for the info. I was kicking myself for not knowing this and could have enjoyed Slug Shot a whole earlier, but I got over it in about 2.6 seconds thinking about Slug Shot tonight. =)

Thanks for the info though, hopefully that helps the next guy that comes along itching for Slug ; )

Took me a while but i finally got myself a Shark Gun.

The other night in Nyzul Isle we did a Floor 80 boss twice and Denali Jackets dropped each time! and I got one! It's the sexiest body piece!

HERE is a video of our second fight, in which I am wearing my new Denali =-)

You're levelling it for GLORY AND SMOCKS. Remember that~

Unlocked Detonator last night. Went to solo the beet leafhopper as RDM/BLU but a couple of THF's were duo'ing goobue in the tree with their NPC's and offered to help. So we trio'd the mob with NPC backup and it went pretty smoothly.

Detonator is a pretty cool WS and definitely the second most powerful gun WS. Not sure if I will use it routinely. Need to get more RATT gear I think to get its damage potential closer to slug shot. But it is a cool thing to watch.

Woooot got my Novio last night!!! only missing ugg pent and the feet for my magic attack gear!!!!


besiede that mark lvl 5 in exp yesterday working on finish that soooooon

Haha, looks like we've got another addict in our midst :P. Grats on 75, Tan!

/em casts Raise III on old thread.


I just got all my AF and am now lvl 56! WOOOOOOO! Now to just lvl up and wear that smexy bod and head gear. ;P

Since this thread is back from the dead...

Finally picked up a Paladin Die when one showed up on the AH. Paid 60k for it. :D

I'm usually a completionist and get every little thing for my jobs, but I let Gallant's Roll slide because... well, it's Gallant's Roll. But I did find my first situation where I thought "hmmm I'd like to use Gallant's" this week, so I decided to rectify the situation. Dice NPC was gone for the past couple days but what do you know, die was on the AH and I am now the second person on Titan to purchase one in 2008 (and 17th ever).

Anyway, that situation I was talking about - friend was camping Simurgh and it popped, I wasn't doing anything so I headed on over. They had a PLD RDM DRG trio, not the usual evasion tank low man setup. They actually wiped, but they were getting close. I showed up as they were dying, ready for round 2 (thankfully nobody else was camping him) - a THF friend was also on the way and joined part of the way through the 2nd fight. Anyway, since Sim was hitting the PLD pretty often and hard, and I had the PLD in the party for roll bonus, I kinda wanted to use Gallant's on him. But I couldn't.

I just went with Chaos/Hunter's for the PLD and DRG, with Dancer's once when they needed a little more HP. Maybe Chaos/Hunter's on the PLD was actually better damage than I would have had from Gallant's, I don't know. But I would have liked to try it out, and it's at least not a crazy idea.

[quote]I decided to go ahead and eat curry instead of sushi, because I had double minuet and chaos roll on myself and I wanted to see what I could push out.

average of 1,500 dmg slug shots, with my best going over 1900. over 50% of a mob's HP taken in one shot, was very satisfying.[/quote
Theres nothing quite like multilpe attack (2 min, chaos roll, coeurl sub) buffed Slug shots, They seem to turn COR (Rng even more so) into more of a power house then most jobs, as each regular shot also takes chunks out of the mob also.

Im taking a break form cor 65, want to finish nin off, hunt charybdis then finish the run up to 75.
