Update: Darklighter vs. The Shadowlord (*spoilers* duh)

OMG I can't believe it either I'm actually doing an update

. Some of you will probably be happy to hear that I have actually been playing the game recently with mostly farming for my Haubergeun which I will post on to later (I have saved up so far roughly 800k and Haubergeun is currently 1400k currently on the Ragnarok server which I hope it will go down). Sense I was back one of my LS mates was helping out someone with Shadowlord and I came because that guy has it to good for to long and someone needed to teach him a lesson, Mithra style.

Here is your rag tad of adventurers ready to destroy evil.

And away we go.

http://img57.photobucket.com/albums/...rd/clp1054.jpg

First we have to cross the icy plains to reach the castle of the Shadowlord.

http://img57.photobucket.com/albums/...rd/clp1060.jpg

http://img57.photobucket.com/albums/...rd/clp1061.jpg

We finally reach the castle and this place is no place for the unexperienced and countless encounters ensue (mainly from the occasional Invis or Sneak wearing off :sweat: ).

You also have to go through the occasional teleporter which is a nice change of pace.

http://img57.photobucket.com/albums/...rd/clp1087.jpg

http://img57.photobucket.com/albums/...rd/clp1088.jpg

We finally arrive at the throne room which is very impressive (as a DRK I can really appreciate the gothic style).

We rest up before the upcoming battle.

http://img57.photobucket.com/albums/...rd/clp1096.jpg

Of course ya gotta pose right before any big battle.

http://img57.photobucket.com/albums/...rd/clp1099.jpg

Then you gotta act like idiots and emote like crazy

hmmm... Why is it you find Kasuna, and I spend 2 days looking for her? lol

Update: The Art of Farming

We'll I finally decided to do an update on farming. Why you ask because usually farming is a boring subject and yes it is boring but that what I have been doing instead of exciting action and adventure

(you may get some pointers to for some good guranteed cash). I finally decided to go back to the mistress known as farming after about 4 days of camping Valkurm Emperor with no Emperor Hairpin drop, and 3 days of camping Mee Deggi the Punisher with no Ochiudo Kote (but plenty of Swift Knuckles :mad: ). So with a week wasted of play time with little money earned I turned to farming again which is a much more reliable source of money. The farming I chose was the favorite among people 50+ which is Tiger and Treant hunting in Battalia. Why you ask what do these monsters have to offer well allow me to expliain.

Note: I farm with THF sub for obvious reasons because Treasure Hunter is a must for drops and Flee also helps when you are walking around all the time.

Now the first target the Treant

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ing/clp970.jpg

The spawn of the Treant is odd it spawns every 5 minutes in one spot directly accessable and another in a spot only accessable through Beaudeacine Glacier entrance to Battalia on a raised ground area (I like to camp here because there is no campers and Lumberjack spawns there which me and my LS have killed once with no Bloodsword drop

). Now the Treant drops 3 valuable things. First he drops the Dryad Root about 1/2 the time and 12 sell for 3.8k in AH. Next he drops Mistletoe about 1/4 the time which 12 sell for 45k in AH. Last is the Oak Log which drops about 1/5 the time, it is not stackable, and 1 sells for 5k in AH.

Random Treant Battle Shots

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ing/clp974.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ing/clp985.jpg

Now the second target the Sabertooth Tiger.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ing/clp975.jpg

Now the Sabertooth tiger has 2 valuable items. The big cash cow item you might say is because of a wonderful quest in Sandoria that is repeatable. In this quest 3 Black Tiger Fang will get you 2.1k from a NPC. So the Black Tiger Fang drop about 1/3 the time and 1 is worth 700g because of the quest. The second item isnt worth as much and is annoying because it is not stackable unless you have 61+ leatherwork. This item is the Black Tiger Hide which does not stack and sells for about 350g a piece to NPCs.

To show you how much I do this here is a shot of me with my Black Tiger Teeth ready to unload.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ing/clp997.jpg

Look at the chat log after I turn in all the fangs

.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ing/clp998.jpg

I have been at this for about a week and a half now and the profits are much better then NM. It may be extremely boring but I am slowly doing it. I have now 1,200,000 gil and am very close to my goal of 1,400,000 gil to buy my precious Haubergeun (STR+5 DEX+5 ATK+10 ACC+10 AGI-5 EVA-20 alllll riiighhht). Sadly thought once I have the money I wont be able to spend it until I get my THF to 37 because a good THF requires Leaping Boots and Emperor Hairpin and I want to make sure I never have to work on THF again because of such expensive items.

Closing shot of me on a random airship ride using Bloodweapon (good looking but totally useless which seems to be a trend with DRK related things

).

mr.aaa · 08-01-2004, 10:38 AM

Cool farming tips, to bad I can't use them since I'm not 50+ :dead: Good luck on the Boots and Hairpin!

SeeD Soldier · 08-12-2004, 04:31 PM

Update time ya

.

Past few week I've been taking thf from lvl 25-37 so that I can sub it. Didn't take any pictures because well its just boring xping in Yhoator Jungle, East Altepa Desert, Garliage Citadel, and Crawler's Nest. But during it some LS need RDM AF3 (updated on this one before

) and one I've never done before BLM AF3. So away we go.

Group shot forming in Jueno.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...n2/clp1213.jpg

On the way ran into a Shadow Dragon and thought he looked pretty cool (everyon got 257 gil whooope).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...n2/clp1215.jpg

First stop is Fei'yin to kill Miser Murphy (seen him before) for 2 Ancient Coins. Here is the battle shots.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...n2/clp1221.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...n2/clp1225.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...n2/clp1226.jpg

Group shot just before we left (covered most of the people even though someone is always killing something cause of boredom).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...n2/clp1228.jpg

Next spot Garliage Citadel to kill Guardian Statue (seen him before). Group shots before battle.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...n2/clp1233.jpg

Battle shots from 1st fight.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...n2/clp1235.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...n2/clp1238.jpg

Now the 2nd fight didnt go so well. He decided to do about 4 AOEs in a row and immediatly half the alliance died. I was in red so I decided to Souleater + Guillotine him and suicide him. We won but at what cost (aftermath shots).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...n2/clp1241.jpg

BST resting her pet on me (claws hurt).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...n2/clp1243.jpg

We all raised with only our xp and pride hurt. Next top is the ruins below Windurst for BLM AF3. Here is magic circle you have to go through first.

Group shot before the battle.

The Magic Sludge battle shots (has huge physical defense but he basically couldnt hurt us so he was easy).

Thats it people I'll update more once I get my Haubergeon after my THF equipment sells and I start lvling DRK again.

SeeD Soldier · 08-14-2004, 03:31 AM

OMGOMGOMGOMG I know I have recently updated but tonight I finally bought my Haubergeon for a whopping 1,400,000 gil. I am so happy I just had to post pictures it if so here it is

Of course what update on equipment would be complete without showing the stats of the new item.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...n2/clp1265.jpg

I'll leave you with a shot of me completing Genkai 3 (I did this on same day, ohh man was that a good day in FFXI

).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...n2/clp1267.jpg

mr.aaa · 08-20-2004, 03:12 PM

omg omg omg Darklighter, you did it! Way to go! I would've posted earlier but my comp was acting out and would freeze when ever I clicked on your pics :confused: I tried again and it worked!

I think you deserve a thumbs up for working hard on your Haubergeon so here it is

and another one for completing Genkei 3

Angelhelix · 08-26-2004, 10:34 AM

Congrads on all those achievments. Thanks for the farming tips, and awesome armor. Can't wait for the next update.

Here is my equipment for the battle.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ight/clp68.jpg

Here is all the items I used before battle (its basically sleep potions for tp mixed with Opo Opo Necklace, then defensive food, and then regen food).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ight/clp72.jpg

Start out the battle with Absorb-Vit and Bio II for more defense for me (ironic even though I'm DRK this battle is all about defense).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ight/clp74.jpg

Icarus Wing for Guillotine #2 (excuse the bad battle shots I was kind of focusing on the battle

).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ight/clp75.jpg

He uses Blood Weapon so I Stun him then marathon him until it wears off.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ight/clp76.jpg

His Blood Weapon is off so time for Vile Elixer +1 (ouch 24k) and Blood Weapon to turn the battle my way.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ight/clp78.jpg

The battle goes on getting very nervous.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ight/clp79.jpg

Omg spam Hi Potion please don't die (notice his Combo did almost nothing very lucky me).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ight/clp80.jpg

OMG OMG OMG OMG I WON RAWR!!!!!!!!! Look at my Hp if I may quote Lando Calirissian "that was to close" (I was out of healing items and I used 20 Hi-Potions and 1 Vile Elixer+1).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ight/clp81.jpg

Look at the text and see how happy I am (I used about 60k in items and if I lost I would be very very mad

).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ight/clp83.jpg

God I love that title.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ight/clp88.jpg

One Final battle cry over the battle field cause I am the winner

.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ight/clp90.jpg

To best know the hell of this battle here is the battle text from the Maat Fight (you will notice when I started panicing because I kept hitting red so Hi-potion spam).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...202/clp100.jpg

Talking to Maat again and he begins to ramble.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...202/clp104.jpg

Near the end of the rambling.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...202/clp112.jpg

Your level limit is now 75.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...202/clp115.jpg

Another Battle Cry from me and Terru.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...202/clp118.jpg

After beating Maat ya gotta just hug someone

.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...202/clp119.jpg

And that is it for my Maat fight update. Next will be my massive Zilart Mission update. I already have pictures from ZM5-ZM8 (ZM8 was so much fun

) and will update once I finish ZM12 (which is easy) and get sky access. See ya for now.

Toast · 11-16-2004, 11:01 PM

Vile Elixer+1 is only 24k now? When I did my G5 it was like 60-80k or something (I forgot).. thats why I refused to use one >.>
