Erm, no, Whimsic was my character. <.<; Are you thinking of the guy that posted the video/guide of how to solo Pluto and Zlatorog as BLM on KI years ago?

Dunno, I've never been a KI person. There was a real nice BLM on Ragnarok named Whimsic, was a taru and thought he had the same model/hair as in that picture but it's been a long time. He did do a video on soloing elementals in sky and posted it on alla.

Edit: actually I'm pretty sure his name was Whimsical, whoops!

You pulled a SMN Aern and let it summon elementals over and over and over and manaburned them while keeping the Aern slept. The elementals were really weak and only gave like 100 xp per kill, but it was easy and about 7-8k/hour which was pretty decent at the time. What really pissed me off was they nerfed the Aerns so they'd only summon 2? elementals total and completely killed the camp and then later released ToAU the land of endless chains and TP Burn parties getting 25k/hr without breaking a sweat.

Back before the mpk patch people used to have fun with the Rolanberry bazaars by zoning goblins on them.

I remember one of my best friends on Phoenix joking that when she quit, she'd train a whole host of goblins and such to those mules. Alas! She never had the chance.

Guess I'm kinda lucky I started in 2005, and didn't experience some of this stuff. What little I can relate to is already bringing on the nostalgia blues :/

NA release, folks. Also, people with level 75 jobs being rare and holyshitawesome despite most having gear that'd qualify for the gimp thread these days.

MPKing PT's in dunes was the shit.

With the WHM af club NM? lol

[Fievel]

Garlaige Citadel pre mpk patch, exp PT pullers would link like 5 bats and run to the zone, then the bats would fly back slowly aggroing all the PT's on the way and just killing everybody

Also the random Serket's being zoned from time to time and having it walk back.

Good times

[Carlosd]

Haha, those were the days, when the WHM af NM, Marchebute or something his name was, used to run rampant killing people in the dunes or. /sh Zoning goblins to selbina! Exping in places like Den of rancor toads, hell I did like 50-75 in The Boyahda Tree, Spiders --> crabs ---> more crabs ----> flies ---> hell more spiders. When RMT would camp the francisca crab NM, forgot his name for shining cloth in the robber crab area.

My most memorable moment perhaps is when I finished my RDM to 20/10 in the dunes, when I first went to Jeuno, this area filled with shout spam, horrible lag, casinos...

Kinda pointless nowadays really, can get better xp elsewhere if you're going to manaburn. Guess it would be good if you just wanna go mindlessly kill stuff for ok xp and be in no real danger.

I'm often just waiting in sea for people to come or stuff to happen, it'd be a nice change from the Ghrah, Euvhi and Aern. And it sounds interesting.

Anyone still have those old sky gods' pics? Like that black byakko on 1st page. Started in 2004 june, at that time i think the gods already been remake over. Was curious on how kirin looks..etc, i think it was different back then with what it is now?

I remember a couple party members walked to Onzozo, Bibiki, or the fucking Tree because of choco prices. Was like an hour wait for Tree walkers.

Man I never uploaded any of my better FFXI screenshots to my photobucket and I'm pretty sure they're all lost now on my old computer. All I've got is random shots of nothing interesting!

First time stepping into Lufaise meadows has to take the obligatory shot of this cliff. I loved the tiger jerkin outfit and I wore that all the time on my bard when I was leveling it >_> I considered it like black opaline lol
