Parrying my Samurai up to 75!

New Category…

Call Baby Samurai~ Just to keep everything related to my Samurai progress in ‘-‘. I think my next goal is to cap Parrying Skill. I really see that not being impossible, but takes ages. Its kinda like Goldsmithing but if you have the heart to do something, you’d get it :) So to increase the chance of leveling parrying, I’d went to solo for exp instead of seeking for a party.

Maiev's Taru Samurai Solo Exping Lv62-Lv66, FFXI Fenrir

Plenty of exp during my parry skillup, in fact ‘-‘ 4 levels just from parrying skillups! The kicker is… at Lv65 you get Tachi Gekko!!

Tachi Gekko on Taru Samurai, Maiev of Fenrir, Parrying Skillup reaches 205

Tachi: Gekko is a one hit, 75% STR mofidier weapon skill (source). Its TP modifier scales up accordingly (1.50, 2.00, 2.50). There’s a few things that you can do to make this weapon skill a bit more interesting.

  • /war and hope it double attacks :)
  • /thf to guarantee it lands & crits ^^
Chain 5, 345 at Lv62 Soloing Colibri on Taru Samurai, Maiev of Fenrir

Well subbing war could be a good thing, I mean if your party need a trick partner, can Seigan 3rd eye, let them trick (most Seigan have like 4 blinks on average) then put Hasso back on :) Your attack can be very mean with Berserk :O not to mention TP a bit faster with double attack!

On the other hand, soloing isn’t bad exp at all :) Chain 5 using polearm XD! IMO if you have polearm leveled up, you should take them out during xp parties if its Colibri :) its deinfately not bad damage. Especially how its 5hit WS, as good as Rampage :) Or if you really don’t like Polearm, you can always /rng with Soboro and spam Sidewinder :) Its not very risky unless you get so much crit to the face like Mai’s baby Samurai…



The world of Vana’diel

I don’t know how many caught this but… it shows the whole Vanadiel’s world map O.O!

Its f-kin huge! And erm… only 2 island is opened up so far? Damn SE got a few more years to mlik us! Story from NPC such as this one supports the fact that these island was planned and exists too. Amazing heh!

Other amazing thing is… Fenrir people are very lazy people. Palidor wanted me to synth some stuff, I forgot what stuff but that isn’t important. The juice is, after its done, he takes out his warp cudgel and warps hom. I could understand if its far away…. but when you are this close from town, there’s a problem =P

Seriously ‘-‘ that is mad close, plus its daytime too so there’s no formors :x On a side note, I have a lot of warp cudgels too, but TRUST me, I’m not that lazy! I just warp a lot XD

Ya >.> that is a lot of cudgels in Mai inventory! XD Anyhow…

Random Stuff…

Bewbian almost getting pwn in Besiege. I mean sure drk can solo Kirin, but not when the good stuff comes in a bunch =P

Bubian, Soloing, Relic Ranger of Fenrir

I came across this website :O Very nicely drawn FFXI stuff plus other stuff. Below is just an example O.
