liking the new areas

yesterday, pulled up orc. ore and 2 petrified logs in the thickets, and another adaman in the woodlands. fatigue set in after 10 stacks.

today i used up the 5 stacks I still had in the woodlands and wound up with crap.

new areas

today digging fatigue set in shortly after i started on the 13th stack of greens. i did use a few stacks of the 2 of the new zones, got an adaman ore and ebony log, but nothing else amazing from that session. i also pulled up black chocobo feathers, dates, pebbles, moko grass, dried majoram, and blue rocks.

the evil empire strikes

bots lost, but so did us

digging fatigue sets in after 20 stacks of greens?!? WTF?!? 50 stacks would been fair, but 20 stacks was too drastic. Once fatigue sets in, you got to wait til the next JP day before you can dig items again. Lame.

update is here

after a long 7 hour maintenance, the update is here and i'm back in the game. As soon as I get a few other in-game things done I'll be digging.

*sigh*

Still on my mini-vacation from digging. I don't think I missed much, the prices are still down. I've been just leveling PLD and trying to level parry skill whenever I can. I'll resume digging after the FFXI update next week.

damn undercutters

I think I'm going to take couple days off from digging and level up PLD. The person that been buying gold ores/beastcoins from me is out of gil from leveling up goldsmithing, and darksteel ores are at all-time low prices right now.

finally. . .

just dinged A25 rank. 1180 stacks of greens to get from A30 to A25. Thank god, as the prices of the items I was targeting have dropped during this time, and they dropped when I was out of town. :/

almost to dinging

i got in another 120 stacks of greens today. I could had pushed it to 150+ stacks if I wanted to, but competition really heated up in the final 20 stacks and I called it a night after that. It also sucks that darksteel ores dipped to 17k a pop when I returned to vacation, but I'm making due. My alchemy mule dinged 74.3 today as well.

mondays suck

its monday, and back to digging. first 80 stacks digging in gustaberg: 2 darksteel ores. last 20 stacks in same area: 4 darksteel ores and 1 cactus stems. I also pulled up 22 mythril beastcoins and 11 grain seeds in the 100 stacks I did today. I have hit the 1000 stack mark of the craftsman rank, I should be dinging within 500-800 stacks.

got home today

I got home around 5pm today and been doing unpacking/grocery shopping/etc. I'll resume digging either Monday or Tuesday. I'm tired right now.
