Holy crap. I actually finished an expansion! (Although just a mini one)

A Little Backstory

It’s very well known amongst those who play FFXI with me that I seem to have an inherent ability to fall way behind in doing any expansion content. Especially with Treasures of Aht Urhgan and Wings of the Goddess.

It seems like people burn right through the new content that gets added for these things, and thanks to work, or other reasons, I get left in the dust, hoping for help.

Much the same was happening with these two recently released Add-on scenarios, as my progress with “A Crystalline Prophecy” was (as still is) stymied on a battlefield area, and it was the same with “A Moogle Kupo d’Etat”. Then came the good ol’ folks at Evolpmal.

Roar! A Cat Burglar Bares Her Fangs

So the first piece of wonderment was the battle against the three Goblins, with special guest, Mithra cat burglar extraordinaire, Nanaa Mihgo.

With the sole exception of my macros deciding to change pages mid battle, and making me kneel instead of curing the tank, the battle went smoothly. The Goblins went down really quick, which was kinda comedic to me for some reason, but Nanaa Mihgo seemed quite formidable.

After that it was off to Northlands and lots of running around to be done…

A Challenge! You Could Be a Winner

Running around Beaucedine Glacier and Xarcabard is not fun. Not fun at all. But!
Celebratory Stoogle Moogles popping off fireworks within Castle Zvahl as always fun to see.

Smash! A Malevolent Menace

So the fun of the Moogles turns into a weird final battle against the Don Mecca of the Moogles, Riko Kupenreich.

Two tries were needed spread over two different days, but we pulled off a great win!

Victory! Come Get Your Prize

Selenian Cap is mine! Whoohoo!

And there you have it! That takes care of my first FFXI related blog post in over a month. Maybe one will come sooner if I can pull off getting “A Crystalline Prophecy” done quickly, lol.

Again, I will try to update more, but I have a lot going on like making and running a website for Evolpmal which you can find at http://evolpmal.rianon.net!
