I started to get back into it today a little but I'm still just typing in my spells manually.

Word from some folks in my LS is in you are a free returner and you are logged in when the campaign ends, you will stay logged in until you log out or d/c or server maintenance.

This has always been the case, I managed to go 3 days once.

I actually need to do it overnight today if I want to get that Pulse-W ticket

I’m probably just gonna wait a couple days and resub during the XIV crossover discount for one month at least. I got the bug again playing during returner period

Vana'bout just started, right? I got time to get my points up?

Ends Monday, June 1st. If you are doing the dailies and the regular ones you should have time to get enough points for the free pulse weapon. If you are only playing during free to play which ends in a couple hours, nope you won’t have time.

How much time do these Strange Happenings fights take to respawn?

Approximately 45 minutes since last defeat

The Alexander one is shiiiiiiiiiiit.
4 random spots, and /shout doesn't work across the whole zone

[Zealot]

Got the RSE pieces, which I'm like 99% sure I don't need for any reason unless I level another job.

Looks like Limbus is the place to be. I don't know though, I'll be out the next couple days, I'll see if I can log in just to get daily plaudits and see if the urge to continue leaves me or not.

Thanks to Vanabout I was finally able to get a Naegling and I feel kinda bad how busted it is lol

Pretty much every job that can equip it is now SAVAGE BLADE ONRY, totally abandoning their native job weaponskills

[Zealot]

I'll have enough points today or tomorrow. I already have a bunch of ambuscade weapons, can't remember what else there was for me to get. Shining One, maybe.

I was gonna give it a go, but return home seems to have ended.

Bah. Did some reading ahead on the Voracious Resurgence missions and looks like a stage 2 Prime weapon is required to advance the story and enter later battlefields. Gonna have to do Sortie I guess. I hate artificial time gates for story progression. The true curse of FFXI.

[Mertron]

it gets worse

all weapons except prime weapons do reduced damage to the boss, so you have to use the prime weapon too

and you can’t enter with the shield or horn, has to be a weapon

[Mertron]

i have finally solo’d chaos on my blu and have completed the voracious resurgence

fucking finally, give me my god damn ring

the fight has a 30 minute timer and it took 28 minutes. jesus christ

if you have a group you’ll be fine

but if you are going to solo it with trusts like i did, enjoy

i don’t know how many attempts it took but im assuming around 20

[Zealot]

Oh yeah, Sortie.

Meh, maybe I'll stop playing after all.

smh been playing this game for 20 damn years and I can still get got by the story sometimes

spoilers for kinda late in Voracious Resurgence

Spoiler: show

The reveal that Shami and Shemo (the beastmen's seals vendors in Port Jeuno) are actually demons in disguise this whole time fucking sent me, good shit

[Zealot]

Ok, I got my Kupons from Vana'bout, I think I'm good for awhile. I just don't like playing this game without friends to talk to and do things with, and that just doesn't seem to exist on Asura.

[Anoat]

You got no friends or LS or people to talk to on the busiest and most populated server?

[Anoat]

If you wanna pay the $9 to transfer to Quetz you can play with me homie, my LS is newb and endgame mix. We’ve got people just starting and running missions and twice weekly dynamis divergence, weekly aeonic runs, people doing sortie/odyssey/omen runs on their own kinda loosey-goosey.

Just warning about Quetz it’s really low population, like during the height of free login I think during NA prime time there was around 475 people online. So does make the AH run a little slow.
