I've completely neglected this LJ, I'm going to try and be more adamant about it though. I have some new things to post but I'll start with this. I was in a merit party with some of my friends and I was hit by Firespit from a Mamool Ja. During the Firespit charge up, I experienced a strange vision and then explained it to the rest of the party. Luckily my friend Helpme recorded it.

I actually went to see a doctor about this, he told me to avoid eating ergot with my hamburgers.

It's been so busy this holiday season I barely had time to log on FFXI. I'm excited about the aftermath though. I finally decided to upgrade my PC, the new parts are below.

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L
3.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E6850
eVGA 512-P3-N802-A1 GeForce 8800GT
Crucial Ballistix 2 GB (2x 1 GB) 1066 DDR2 (PC2 8500)

I only ended up spending $470 on all of this and I'm very pleased with the results. I can dualbox two versions of FFXI in Whitegate at 1880x1410 with the same FPS my old PC had doing one instance in 940x705. This is with high shadows, full animation, etc. compared to the minimalist settings I had before.

My Salvage group has been doing well. We've reached the point where we can easily six man every boss as well as most if not all of the 35 NMs in a single run(The exception being Bhaflau). It isn't terribly remarkable, many other groups are equally skilled, but I'm happy none the less.

We did Proto-Ultima this Saturday and took a slightly different approach than usual. Typically we would devote all of our Limbus resources to the fight, often ending up with a hectic mess during the last 20%. I thought it could be better to limit the number of people we had engaged to Ultima.

This happened a few days ago but I've been so busy playing around in the expansion I haven't posted it. On Friday morning I finished upgrading Morrigan's Cuffs, completing my Morrigan's gear set.
