Samurai Showdown

Lots of news from FFXI to report. Firstly, I've now managed to get all of my Artifact Armour so I've achieved the title "Paragon of Samurai Excellence" which I've been aiming to get for ages. The Myochin Domaru was really annoying to get. The stupid coffer in Temple of Uggalepih is so absurdly diffcult it cannot be done without level 70+ help. The coffer key itself is hard enough to get, since you have to kill Tonberries, but finding the chest is even more difficult with all the doors and rubbish around. I had to pay out 100,000 gil in rewards to get this piece done. Still, I guess it was worth it in the end.
The Myochin Kabuto wasn't as annoying but it was pretty difficult. I managed to catch a shout in Jeuno for help on the NM fight so I asked if I could go along. They agreed and we went off to Waughroon Shrine to face the 3 NM demons. Took us 4 attempts to get the fight completed since we kept dying to the Summoner demon's Astral Flow. After that I got the key item and took it back to Norg to complete quest. Received the helm after going back to Norg the next day. All AF is done now, yatta!
And to go with my AF completion I managed to get level 60 at long last. Finally found a decent party and we got my level 60 before breaking up. So now I can wear all my AF and use the Gold Musketeer's Uchigatana. That plus I get the Job Ability Zanshin, which I've been waiting get since the April update. Haven't seen it work yet but I can't wait! /laugh Oh, and in 2 Katana skill levels time I'll get Tachi: Yukikaze which is one of the better weapon skills. It's all looking good so I can take a little breather from full on levelling for now.
If that wasn't enough, I got some more good news last night. In the party that took me to level 60 in Cape Terrigan, I was killing some Pugil when I notice a message has appeared in my inbox. I check it to find that Burace, my old friend from Ragnarok Online and FFXI has renewed his acccount and is playing again! I couldn't believe it. I'd given up all hope of ever seeing him back on FFXI but here he is! So happy! All I need if Ardel and Cata to come back with Gohannaikama and I'll be sorted. /laugh Managed to contact Andrew and Jorla again which was nice. Hopefully they'll visit this blog and read my posts. I'll be hoping to see them soon too.

It has been an enjoyable week. I hope this trend continues and I get more good news and events happening. Here's hoping! /emote crosses fingers
