A Crystalline Prophecy

I'd heard a lot of people talking about this expansion so thought I'd give it a go. I farmed the Seedspall items very easily but the Goblins were a pain. Not because they were hard: far from it, but they were right out the way (e.g. in Sauromugue through Garlaige, or Rolanberry through CN etc.).



They went down very quickly and I got their Key Items for the Qufim Mandy fight, which I couldn't be bothered to do today, so made a mental note to go back and carry on another day.

It's been just under two years since I last logged in to FFXI, and although I've often thought about what's going on in Vana'diel, I'd never decided to log back in... until I heard of Abyssea and the new level cap increase! I always knew they'd increase the cap up to 99, and I was looking forward to being able to do high level parties again.

It's a bit of a long story but after I quit, my friend Teila looked after my account. It got hacked, I ended up with a name change, and once SE sorted out my account, Teila renamed Kixxi to Cheekymonkey, not thinking I'd mind as I wasn't playing. So if you're wondering why the pictures show Cheekymonkey as my name, that's why. One day I'll get the name changed again!

Whilst returning was very exciting, I suddenly found myself not having a clue about what to do. Synergy, Evoliths, Fields of Valour, Trial of the Magians etc. - all these new things I didn't know anything about, it was very confusing and daunting.

To ease myself back into things, I thought I'd try a spot of farming up at Fei'Yin. Ended up with a Scroll of Raise II and a Wandering Bulb which came to around 30k on the AH.^^
