| | So it turns out I'm still alive.
This was good to find out. It was a horrid pain in the ass. I remember it being bad but jeez SE's crap is just ridiculous. If wanted to go back to WoW I'd just sign into my account on their page, click a few things, BAM, log in. This was an incredible hassle to get up and running and PlayOnline Viewer is such a piece of crap. Luckily they won't be using it for FFXIV. But let's look on the bright side. There's something about the game that got me back despite SE's horrendous shortcomings.
I managed to get a few things done already.
I was glad to find these flag quests way easier than the flag quests for ToAU were in general. That reminds me of a funny story! Let me preface it with this. Chal raided my closet so badly after I'd quit. I have the most odd assortment of gear for different jobs and levels. I had crafting mats like crazy. I can barely move stuff from one side to the other.
So I'm running around Jugner (S) and aggro an EP Ladybug. How embarassing would it be to be brought to grief by an EP ladybug? Well, it got me in the 50 HP range right toward the end. I had no macros, was half naked, /NIN, using the wrong weapons. I was frantically trying to go between getting shadows and getting Paeons off (sans instrument, I had almost none thanks to Chal). Eventually I remembered that I could sleep things and tried to find Lullaby in my overflowing list. It was a mess but I lived.
I picked up something at the AH.
How long did we ask for NIN sneak? Of course the question to follow is, "Where are my sneak/invis songs?" (I heard those dirty dancers got the equivalent)
So what's the goal from here? Well first Chal has to reactivate, then I have to reactivate my army of mules and sort out gear. We're going to try to stay away from endgame though we might do something Dynamis or Limbus. We just want to play very casually getting jobs to 60 and getting them full AF for kicks. If it comes to it perhaps we'll keep going and get Maat's Caps, but it's unlikely. Our goal is huge and we plan to play pretty much completely in duos just hitting regimes and stuff.
As it stands our first order of business is to get all of both of our jobs to 10 so we can sync and then quickly to 20. There will be a lot of syncing. One of the last things I did was get all but PUP and COR out of the dunes (20+). I've only got 4 jobs under 20. Due to level syncing I no longer have to hold onto tons of level capped gear for every job (I had an entire mule dedicated to holding level capped BRD gear for every cap). Once we hit 20 we'll be able to make some money (good money from the looks of it) selling of all those white and blue boxes I hoarded up for low characters as it will be completely obsolete.
Then all jobs to 40 (meaning all available subs regardless beyond that point and all available for 40 capped events). Once again, sell off the gear.
We'll probably break the grind to 60 into two parts and just go 40-50 followed by 50-60. After that level the original 15 to 70 for the cap (I know I could do 68, but I like round numbers and will probably go to 75 if I get that far). We'll probably finish out the jobs we like to 75 from there and level the other 5 jobs up if we like. Hopefully we can collect some tossed aside relics. As it is I think I'm already 3/5 BST and 2/5 DRG because nobody wanted them.
That's the big picture, but in reality we'll probably never hit it, but maybe we'll have some fun on the way up and selling the lower stuff off as it outlives its usefulness will allow us to buy new toys. Still need a PCC.
Here are things roughly as I came back to them (with obvious additions)
