| Senior Veteran Iron Emblem of Service | Feast of Swords ![]() FINAL FANTASY XI Official Web Site http://www.playonline.com/pcd/topics.../3061/3061.jpg Valiant adventurers of Vana'diel! The time for the Feast of Swords is once again upon us, kupo! We know things haven't been running too smoothly up until now, kupo... But this year, the Mog House Management Union has a precocious plan that can't possibly fail! Huh? That's what we said last year, kupo? Click here to take a peek at our preparations, and see for yourself, kupo! *The Feast of Swords will be held from 01:00 on April 28 (Monday), 2008 until 01:00 on May 7 (Wednesday), 2008, (PDT). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3, 2, 1... Action, kupo! Ahem. Dear adventurers, we have a wonderful announcement for you today, kupo! Get set for an exciting event with whirling wooden weapons and slicing samurai action! That's right! It's time for the Feast of Swords, kupo! Cut, cut, cut, kupo! What part of “traditional, elegant, and tasteful” did you not understand, kupo!? What about the stunning Genji armor? The nostalgia-inducing mochi? The health and happiness of— Linkpearl: <Ring, ring> Good day, kupo! This is the Mog House Manag—what!? I see…thank you. Er, I'm sorry to disturb you in the middle of your riveting rehearsal, but we may have to make some last-minute changes to that announcement, kupo… I've just been informed by the union chief that this year's Feast of Swords is to be cancelled—effective immediately. Kupopopo!? You can't be serious! Was this a direct order from the three nations, by any chance? I don't have all the details, but that seems to be the case, kupopo. It might have something to do with the fact that every time we borrow suits of precious armor from the Far East, they're swiped by some unscrupulous sneaks… We may push the patience of our Far Eastern patrons past breaking point, kupo... The three nations can't afford to let our incompetence invite an international incident. But how can they do this, kupo!? Think of the children! That's what the Feast of Swords is all about, kupo! They'll be so disappointed... And we've stockpiled all these "ibushi shinai" for the participants to play with... I'd completely forgotten, kupo! If the three nations withdraw their support, how are we supposed to pay for those!? We must meditate on a method to save our salar—er, I mean, save the festival for all the good little girls and boys, kupo! I have it, kupo! Instead of waiting for permission to borrow the armor from the Far East, I say we trick those unscrupulous sneaks into acquiring the suits and bringing them back for us, kupo! You mean you want them to stea— I mean "acquire," kupo! And as soon as they try to enter the three nations wearing their ill-gotten gains, a righteous rabble wielding our wooden weapons will fall upon them, kupo! It will be the greatest Feast of Swords in history! We use those ubiquitous brigands to our advantage, kupo... The Far East is grateful, and the three nations impressed... And the M.H.M.U. reaps the rewards! B-but who do we send against these dastardly desperados? Curses, kupo! I hadn't thought about that! Well, obviously we <mumble, mumble, mumble>, kupo! Oh! Of c-c-course, kupo! And so we just...kupopo! Kupopopo!! Kupopopopo!!! http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/top...gs/mogim02.jpg --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Participating in the Feast of Swords 1. Receive a special wooden katana (ibushi shinai) from a Moogle in any of the following areas: Southern San d'Oria / Northern San d'Oria Bastok Mines / Bastok Markets Windurst Waters / Port Windurst 2. Equip the wooden katana and speak to one of the Nomad Moogles in the following areas to receive a Moogle Magic enchantment: West Ronfaure / East Ronfaure / La Theine Plateau / Jugner Forest Batallia Downs / North Gustaberg / South Gustaberg / Konschtat Highlands Pashhow Marshlands / Rolanberry Fields / West Sarutabaruta / East Sarutabaruta Tahrongi Canyon / Meriphataud Mountains / Sauromogue Champaign 3. Team up with other adventurers and beat the living daylights out of those thieving brigands! The more you use the enchantment on your ibushi shinai to absorb the brigands' weapon skill, the more you may find fortune smiling upon you! 4. Thrust (trade) your ibushi shinai into the ground near the “???” mark that appears after one of those villains is defeated. Who knows? Your deeds may just earn you a rare relic! Heed the four rules of Moogle Magic... 1. Moogle magic will increase your movement speed, but lower your level to 1. 2. All equipment higher than level 2 will automatically be removed at this time. 3. While under the moogles' spell, you will not be able to attack regular monsters—but they will not be able to attack you either. 4. The magic will wear off the instant you leave the area or log out. Festival Schedule The festivities begin at 01:00 on April 28, 2007 (PDT) and are scheduled to continue until 01:00 on May 7.

It's not boring! There's decent stuff from this, besides, it's fun to do. I've seen people's comments about dying so much. Wow, deal with it. You don't lose exp in it. Besides, there's ways to do it well enough, but only if you work together. Hell, just because it may not have your OMGWTFRELIC or endgame equipment, doesn't mean you need to ruin it for those that enjoy doing it anyway. Eh, whatever.. >.>

You go have your fun whacking ghost armor. I'm going to enjoy a bit less competition on NMs.

I've never cared for this event, but if I can get some cool stuff I'll try to put up with it. Most of the rewards from this event (in the past) have been mediocre, at best.

The difference will most likely be that we'll get free furniture in our inboxes, just as with the doll festival this year. I can't complain about that. SE has sneaked furniture into almost every event this year. More storage space is indeed a nice thing. |
