FFXIV Screenshot – Aleczan's New Diary (FFXIV: ARR)

Ahhhhhhhh! I haven’t updated my blog in so long. I took a 10-day vacation earlier this month to go out of town, up north and then to the beach, and then spent time with my friends shopping and preparing stuff for a dolls fair (DollPaCa 2013 in Bangkok), then we exhibited a booth in the fair on Sunday, 13 October. It took a while for me to recover from those hardcore 10 days, LOL.

Anyway, as I am a very lazy person, for now I’ll just post assorted screenshots of the past week. So that my readers will know that I am still alive and playing FFXIV :P What I’ve been doing this week:

Sitting around waiting for Corn to sew me stuff, like Vanya Robe of Healing.

Planting my face in the ground dying against Behemoth. This is also Corn’s doing. :P

But the adventurers won, and I bought this silly mask just for the hell of it. XD

Then I spent hours cooking some Tomato Pies and Mulled Tea for myself.

And stopped by at the event’s display to take some pics at times.

Also, been spam farming tomestones in the Wanderer’s Palace. Without Corn as the tank whom I’m accustomed with for the battle, moves, strategies, and rhythm, I usually ended up dying in the wipe like this. I must say that random Duty party is usually rough and tough. There was even one duty where we died repeatedly at the Pudding and then at Tonberry King until the time ran out. It was brutal and stressful.

Then, to unwind, I hopped on Masamune to take Halloween pics with my friend, Uri. We bumbed into Dahlia at the Gold Court, so we all took some silly pics together hahaha.

The ghost costume is awesome.

This place in Limsa also looks like a nice spot for photos. I’ll remember to return here later for some pics.

Also, I’ve spent my last Water Cluster making a HQ Aetheryte Ring for Corn. It was a lucky 70-something-% HQ. I would have been quite upset if it failed, LOL.

My lv 43 Fishing Gear

Today I stopped being lazy and started to regear my gathering classes. I saw that Rosewood Fishing Rod (lv. 43) was dirt cheap, so I ditched my Horn Fishing Rod (old one, level 37, been using since 1.0, LOL!) and grabbed it. Then I bought Mythril Mesail (lv. 42) and Boarskin Jerkin (lv. 43). Now this is what my Fisher (and Miner and Botanist) look like.

Quite fashionable, eh? LOL!

Today I’m trying to record fish and fishing locations in my fish guide and fishing log. Going around in Central Thanalan, I needed up to level 25 bait (Bass Ball)! Also, it was the first time I ever used a fly lure in 2.0. Crow Fly is level 20 and was for Dark Bass. Unlike baits, the character does a slow reeling motion while waiting for a bite on the fly lure. I find it amusing. But what’s most amusing is that whenever I hook an Aegis Shrimp (using Bass Ball) my fishing rod makes a creaking noise that sounds as if it is going to snap! It always made me shudder, envisioning my fishing rod breaking into two, like back in FFXI if I tried to land a fish larger than my rod could handle.

I’m not sure if I’ll be diligent enough to carry this on until higher levels, but now I’m recording what fish bite on which bait. I hope I can come back to look at the info and make use of it later whenever I need to catch a specific fish.
