Sleep now!

I just got a great idea that I wanted to share with everyone. Sleep now, and set your alarm 4 hours early for tomorrow, that way these hours won't be wasted on staring at the "Can't play during maintenance" message scrolling across the screen. Night night.

better update
# Jun 28 2004 at 8:06 PM Rating: Decent
I cant believe they are taking to 11 EST, that is the dumbest thing, anyways... you can update your version now, and not have to wait for 20 or 30 min when everyone else starts, and i would strongly recommend it
OMFG!!!! I just want to play FFXI :(

Fireworks and Check

From what I understand, you can still buy fireworks from the AH, it's just that they're raising the max stack size of fireworks from 12 to 99... If this is true, you can have a crazy time using fireworks. :P

And as for the "stupid check system"; I'm assuming whoever posted that was speaking of how when you check an enemy... At higher levels, an Easy Prey isn't always as easy as it sounds... Strange though, at lower levels people thrived off of Easy Preys and could usually kill a Tough or Even Prey (if skills were high enough; level 5 Paladin doesn't have much trouble killing a T or Even)... At higher levels you get as far away from (aggressive) Easy Preys as you can lest you have them jump you. Perhaps they'll fix the checks to more accurately match your abilities... But I have heard no mention of such a "fix"...

I am a level 49 BLM, and a level 40 WHM.

I have no problem killing easy prey mobs. It just takes some skill.

In fact, when I go to level up my shield, I usually go fight DC or even match mobs. They are a bit more difficult, but I don't seem to die from them so long as I pick the right mobs.

If you are having problems fighting easy prey or DC mobs, then you should probably take a look at your subskills, and equipment. Yes, it can be costly to be wearing the best possible gear you can get, and it certainly takes alot of patience to raise some subskills, but if you are dying from easy prey mobs, then you should go do something about it.
