For awhile I&#8217;ve wanted to go after Ose in hopes of getting an Assault Jerkin. We decided to make an attempt at farming it last Sunday, despite me feeling sick as a dog and wanting to pass out in my chair a few times. Eating soup managed to revive me, as did competing against Hiroshiko on trying to erase people&#8217;s status effects as WHM. It was a lot of fun and made me a little more determined to finish leveling WHM when I can. I know I&#8217;ll suck at it but standing next to my new fully AF&#8217;ed RDM boyfriend should help keep me sane and willing to keep going. ^_^b<\/p>\n<p>Most of the time I&#8217;ve been on I&#8217;ve been doing Campaign to try and regain the medals I lost. Its been really hard and frustrating for me, especially since I&#8217;m more apt to just zone out when by myself in a Campaign battle. I&#8217;m finally at Sterling Star, but I have a looooong way to go before I am caught up to everyone else. I AM thankful to my friends when they do decide to join me for Campaign though! I feel a little more focused and entertained, and a lot less lonely than I can sometimes feel when playing WoW. The only thing I hope for is being able to get higher in terms of medals without going crazy doing Campaigns so much. Granted I&#8217;m getting a chance to level BLU&#8230; but its certainly not as fun as playing with Meka and Oro as BLU.<\/p>\n<p>Which brings me to&#8230; yes, our BLU set is going through a transition. Because I really needed to rank up but couldn&#8217;t really do it as BRD or WHM without QQ hardcore, Mekare and Orophen granted me permission to do Campaign as BLU. I was resistant to it at first, but they insisted it was ok and Orophen pointed out I need to do things for <i>myself<\/i> sometimes. Which seems a tad bit frustrating because it means I&#8217;m on my own most of the time, but its also a little relaxing and makes the game seem a little less daunting when I can do things at my own pace.<\/p>\n<p>I also learned something NEW about FFXI! Two things in fact. One of them I remembered from long ago but the other one I had no idea about until Mekare mentioned it last Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\/translate and \/macro set\/book #!<\/p>\n<p>Translate is probably for my own amusement whereas macro set will probably have me re-writing all of my BLU macros so that I don&#8217;t have to think too hard about what I am doing when creating spell macros on the fly.<\/p>\n<p>To translate an item (items only, unfortunately) you type in: \/translate (item name) and then either J, E, G, or F<\/p>\n<p>\/macro set\/book # allows you to write out several macros and if you need to re-use them for OTHER macros, just write out its number and place it on the macro line. I&#8217;ve yet to try this out myself (been too sick) but I&#8217;m hoping it will make my BLU macro sets more intuitive and less painful when I need to keep writing out gear swaps for BLU.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite not having posted anything in awhile, I&#8217;ve done a bit here and there in FFXI and have even *gasp* logged on during the weekday to try and do more things!
