It was me ranting about all the stuff I wanted to do in FFXI.  To followup on each of them (original text small and in bold):<\/p>\n<p><!--more OMG more FFXI--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><small>Promyvion &#8211; Holla. I&#8217;ve been stuck on this one forever. I only got Mea and Dem recently, and I&#8217;ve died twice in Holla. People are getting through all three and moving on to the next missions, and I&#8217;m going to be left behind again on them. I was livid that people did them last night, with very little warning, and I wasn&#8217;t around. So now there&#8217;s six fewer people in the Linkshell who need it, which reduces my chances of ever getting through.<\/small><\/b><br \/>\nI&#8217;ve since made it a bit futher into the Chains of Promathia missions, but that&#8217;s had it&#8217;s own share of snags.  The group I joined had some attrition through various means (including Hurricane Katrina) and is currently stalled.<\/p>\n<li><b><small>Zilart missions. Having only recently gotten Rank 6, I&#8217;ve started this, but haven&#8217;t done anything. This is what I need to get my sky pass so I can actually start going to fight gods. Scionith, the leader of the HNMLS, has started organizing a Zilart mission run to get a few of us up to snuff, so this may be happening soon.<\/small><\/b><br \/>\nI don&#8217;t remember exactly when or how, but I managed to get through to Sky access (Z14) not to long.  It&#8217;s still sitting there, as it is with most people, and I do want to do Divine Might (tried in a pickup group&#8230; horribly idea) and\/or just finish the missions off for the story.<\/p>\n<li><b><small>Further San d&#8217;Orian Rank. There are items I want to get with CP at almost every rank up to rank 10. There&#8217;s a group who may be getting together next Saturday, but that&#8217;s a day that a bunch of people are coming over to my house to watch movies. I&#8217;m sorely tempted to just disappear upstairs for a few hours during the day. I&#8217;m always the lowest rank person in any exp party I&#8217;m in. It&#8217;s not functionally hampering me, but it&#8217;s still frustrating.<\/small><\/b><br \/>\nI managed to get Rank 10 eventually, and sat there for a while&#8230; basking in the glory and abusing Moghancement: San d&#8217;Oria Conquest.  Then, as I said earlier, I switched to Windurst today and get to do it all over again.<\/p>\n<li><b><small>Mannequin parts. I&#8217;ve had mannequin legs and feet forever. I need to do the BCNMs to get the other three parts so I can finish that stupid quest, but people don&#8217;t do them. People may be more likely in the near future, as they&#8217;re introducing something in the next patch that requires a complete mannequin.<\/small><\/b><br \/>\nI know I made a post of this&#8230; at least I think I did.  Maybe I didn&#8217;t.  I know I took a screenshot.  I&#8217;m rambling, bah.  I finished this, yeah.  Did this and the followup quests.  Hooray me.<\/p>\n<li><b><small>Other BCNMs. I&#8217;ve got over 300 beastmen&#8217;s seals. Or is it 400? All I know is I just finished another stack of 99. That&#8217;s all the seals I&#8217;ve ever gotten, minus the unused level 40 orb that&#8217;s also been sitting in my mogsafe. There&#8217;s a group trying to get a BLMx6 BCNM40 going, which may actually happen today (and I&#8217;d be leaving work early to do it because I&#8217;m so frustrated that I never get to do things like this).<\/small><\/b><br \/>\nThis one is still a little bit of a sore spot.  I just keep on building up on the seals, although kindreds get thrown away in a vain attempt to getting a Venomous Claw to have a Scorpion Harness made, my beastmen&#8217;s just keep accumulating.<\/p>\n<li><b><small>Hornetneedle. Luke needs this too, and he&#8217;s just as frustrated about it. I&#8217;ve tried killing the Wespes that drop the Bee Larva necessary to spawn Death From Above, but I&#8217;ve never gotten one. The two of us may end up just doing it together, although we&#8217;ll probably need a third higher-level person to make the fights go easier.<\/small><\/b><br \/>\nBoth Luke and I got our Hornetneedles.  Offhanding Hornetneedle as RDM\/NIN with Joyeuse in the mainhand is a joy to see.<\/p>\n<li><b><small>Leviathan. I only recently got enough Tenshodo fame to get my Tuning Fork of Water. This one I&#8217;m not as worried about, because there&#8217;s always incentive for people to redo avatar fights (10k gil per). But then there&#8217;s the next one&#8230;<\/small><\/b><br \/>\nFinished it.  By soloing it.  Made the post, if I remember correctly.<\/p>\n<li><b><small>Fenrir. I&#8217;m probably not quite ready to do this, but by the time it comes, getting a group together for it may be difficult&#8230; I&#8217;m not looking forward to it.<\/b><\/small><br \/>\nAh, yes.  There would have to be one on here that&#8217;s sitting untouched.  I still haven&#8217;t fought Fenrir.  And now, as I look at it, I actually want to fight him at least three times&#8230; once for the pact, once for his torque and once for his bauble.  Each time involves fighting each of the six prime avatars to get a moon bauble&#8230; yeah.  I&#8217;ll just hope eventually other people decided that they need it and we have the right makeup for a group.<\/ul>\n<p>Back to tagging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sitting, waiting for a download to finish, and going back in time through entries tagging them, I came across this entry from February.
