Intro

Hiya :D

Stuff about me... I'm 21, in RI (USA), and a fan of FF games (obviously) among a few other things. I also play soccer and track for most of the year, sweeper (last man on defense) in soccer and I run the 1500, 800, and 400 in track... And of course, a fan of video games. I never really thought I'd pick up this FF, I was kinda new to the whole online RPG thing and was at first disappointed that FFXI would be completely online, but after much convincing, I picked it up in Decemeber '03. Been playing ever since!

In FFXI I'm in the HNM LS BeyondtheLimitation (BtL), which is probably the oldest HNM LS on the server now.. And I'm a level 75 RNG, 75 NIN, 75 WAR, 75 SAM, 75 DRK, 75 MNK, 75 DRG, 37 THF, 32 WHM, 14 BLM, and 12 BST. I'm on all jobs pretty evenly, although definitely on SAM the most. Think I might work on leveling either THF or DNC next, not certain yet. My mage jobs suck, can't even get BLM to 17 for Warp. :(

My LJ is basically just about all of the stuff that's been happening in the game, along with a few other things in life and such. Recently most of the main topics have been on the jobs I'm playing, Salvage, Einherjar, the NMs and equipment found in ToA and sea, Limbus, fights with Tiamat and Vrtra and Jorgy, fights with Ouryu and Bahamut, fights with the other HNM Kings, Dynamis runs and progress, sky runs, and some other stuff in between.

I post way too many screen shots sometimes... So I often try to make a lot of LJ cuts, helps the 56k users (if they still exist?). Below I also made a whole new layout, including my merits as well as a good deal of the information/experiences/guides/tests I've posted on my LJ over the last 3-4 years. Some of the links are kinda buggy as far as leading you to the exact place, just might need to scroll down, but it's all there. Let me know if anything is inaccurate or needs to be fixed, or just have any recommendations, etc.

Enjoy~ :)
