My beacon of power has failed me

Baulun — Tue, 05 May 2009 00:12:03 GMT

Friday night was the darkest of darkest nights when my XBOX 360 got the red ring of death. For people who don't know what that means is my console's processor or other hardware has been fried.

I am planning on ordering the PC version, so hopefully i'll be back on in an estimated two weeks. Just because i'm gone doesn't mean i have given up on you guys!!! F%$@ you Microsoft R + D >:-0

Help with Events!!!

Damaku — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 21:19:30 GMT

Right now I know there are new members that need help with missions, quests, and items. Please put all requests in this forum so the leaders can set up times to help. If its something small for a few people we can just do it in game. If its a large group of people we can set up a time and get the task completed for everyone. Communication is key to the accomplishment of the Linkshell and its member, so please do not be afraid to speak your mind or ask for help. ~ Damaku

Sandoria Missions

Evella — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 14:15:31 GMT

If anyone wants to finish up their missions in Sandy and then finish up Zilart. . . let's team up. Maybe we can set up one night a week where we knock these things out for a few hours. Eventually we turn that night a week into some BCNMing and some Dynamis things of that nature.

Hello all, I was looking for a place to introduce myself, but couldn't find any treads. So here goes. Hiya, I'm Aliria and I joined you all on the Ls last thursday when Fel invited me.

Nice to meet you all. And I'm sure that I will love this LS. Very welcoming. /Cheers - Aliria

Promyion Holla - Revised

Damocles — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 13:55:14 GMT

OK LS, I have done some reading into the Holla boss. There are a few things I propose we change in our next attempt..... First: I will be going as DRG/WHM or DRG/RDM so that I can heal if necessary, plus healing breath. Second: We need to bring some useless buffs. Apparently, the boss absorbs 200 hp if he doesn't absorb a buff. Now that I know this, this is probably what was killing us. (RDM, Barstona or something?) Third: Bring much more then 3 Hi-Pots, and this time a stack ...

Sky. Who needs it?

British — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 11:41:13 GMT

Wasn't quite sure where this topic belongs. Who needs ZMs? First off, the only requirement for this is Rank6+ (any nation). For anyone who doesn't know, these are the Zilart Missions that give you access to Tu'Lia (a.k.a. sky). If anyone wants to check out what's involved, here's a good site: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Rise_of_the_Zilart_Missions Sky access is something pretty much anyone can use. Stuff you can get from sky is listed here: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Sky_NM_Rewards This ...

Hey LS,
I was wondering if I could enlist in the services of a high level healer to PL my 47 DRG. I am 20 polearm levels lower then I should be (damn you level sync!) and penta thrust is coming up, so I wanna solo toughs to I-toughs to bring it up. So if anyone can help me, please post!

Tmobile G1

Evella — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 19:53:26 GMT

I may have just ordered a G1 with money I don't have. Technology is my kryptonite.
I have buyers remorse... but I would have more remorse if I cancelled my order.
Christmas came early.
Here's to a $600 phone bill...

Holla Checklist

Damocles — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 15:03:27 GMT

Hey Guys, For all those interested in going on the next prommy, or just see yourself doing Prom - Holla in the near future, I'm proposing this checklist. Please note, we are expecting the people who are coming on the Monday to adhere to this list. This list is items per person. REQUIRED -3 Poison Potions -Psychoanima -Histoanima -A Reraiser (preferably Reraise Earring, especially WHMs that are going. This is for the 4th floor, not the boss! See reason why down by food.) -2 ...

Sandoria Mission 7-1 and 7-2

Evella — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 16:14:56 GMT

I want to try to get these done and get rank 8 tonight or sometime this week. If you can help let me know. If you need it let me know. If you are on a mission earlier than this one and need help let me know.

Crafter Levels

Zythrana — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 17:05:43 GMT

Hey LS, I noticed no one had posted here yet, so I thought I would start us off. Here are my current crafting levels. If you need something that's near my levels, let me know and I'd be glad to help. Even if it requires leveling a craft a few levels, I'm up for it. Just let me know. Fishing: 25 Woodworking: 10 Smithing: 10 Goldsmithing: 8 Clothcraft: 9 Leathercraft: 2 Bonecraft: 9 Alchemy: 12 Cooking: 52 Zyth

I want to farm the items needed for the Promy Maps.

Evella — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 21:41:44 GMT

Rather than farm for the map items during a Promy run, does anyone want to just come with me to the first floor of each crag. Then we can just farm the items and leave. . . saving the item for the next time we do a run. Or hell, if you guys want to get the maps before a promy run we could do that, although it may be time consuming to farm a sphere for each of the 6 members. (tank and a healer can duo the mobs that drop the spheres on the first floor.)

Promie Dem!!! GTFO!!!

Kyathus — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 04:20:05 GMT

So we have beaten Promie Dem and are now moving on to Holla on next monday! For everyone who has not done Dem we will be doing more and more as time goes on. Plus you can always sch. a run here on the forums! We are going to be doing promies every monday so everyone who is thinking of doing promies should have the animas ready by then. Even if you are not in a "set group" go ahead and have items ready so you can jump on incase of someone else dropping.

Administration

Evella — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 15:19:14 GMT

I wanted to start a sort of registry get to know everyone sort of topic in the Crazy Stuff thread, but only administrators can post there. I wasn't sure if that was on purpose because i noticed there are 0 posts there. Anyway if we can try to get everyone to reply to a topic with information about their character and themselves (job levels, skills, crafts, current interests) We may get more people actually checking in on the site and responding to more topics. Maybe... Anyway I wasn't sure ...

Hunnie — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 11:12:00 GMT

I took the liberty of taking a few screenies myself. I didn't see any LS photo topic yet so I decided to start it. Feel free to add any more photos. Photo 1: is front side shot with a slight angle to it since I'm not directly in the middle. I couldnt zoom out anymore so sorry for the members who got cut off on the sides. Photo 2: is a screenie without names (so the LS pearls and names won't block any of the characters) and zoomed all the way out so I can get everyone in it. Note: ...

CoP Anyone?

Kyathus — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 22:31:51 GMT

I've been wanting to do my promies for a while now... though I know that they can be buttass expensive to run.

Has anyone on the LS done them before?

DRG or SAM?

Damocles — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 02:44:13 GMT

Hey guys.
After i finally get to level 30 with my WAR/RDM I wanna choose a new advanced class. Out of what I've seen, I like DRG and SAM. I have find out that the SAM is getting quite the overhaul in the "Mystic Weapons" update, but I've heard the SAM mission can be a bitch. Curious of your opinions on these classes.

Thanks

I need to hire a cook

Kyathus — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 14:59:58 GMT

I've recently started lvling BST and a little birdy told me that I need to have plenty of biscuits to give my pets. I was looking around saw that many of them require a cooking skill. <_< so I need a cook.

Ahh so I moved house about a week ago now and haven't managed to get ffxi set up here yet (and probably wont until atleast November). My brother is using my account atm so sorry if i'm running round without a pearl or I don't wave back at you. I think he's mainly using my mule though. This post is really just a sorry to anyone I said I would help as my moving was kind of a last minute decision and I didn't get to say bye to everyone. Good Luck to anyone with promies or missions and ...

Possible Prommy, end of September?

Damocles — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 01:07:18 GMT

Hey guys,

There's talk in the air about prommies! I'm game, but I'd like to propose the lvl 30 prommie, and I'm suggesting the end of September or beginning of October. I will have my BST/NIN to ready to go by then. Opinions on the date and level would be good.

Also, I don't know what to expect with the prommy. All I've hear is to invest in potions. Any advice would be nice too. Other then that, READY TO ROCK!!!!

BCNM 60 - Up in Arms

Hunnie — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 07:44:04 GMT

Info: Level 60 cap, 15 minute, 3 member party. The prize? Kraken Club! The % is low (I think its 0.8%) but wouldn't hurt to try. Since I'm making WHM my main, I figured why not try for this club. I'll post more on this later.

Skype cancels "Skypecasts"........

Damocles — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 00:55:41 GMT

Hey guys, http://skypecasts.skype.com/intl/en-gb/ It seems we won't be getting our channel (at least not for quite awhile). Skype shut down their Skypecast service as of the first, claiming that it got terrible feedback and was being abused. Even though a BETA is supposed to get bad feedback so that problems can be fixed, the tone they used in their statement seems to suggest they are going to drop it completely. I'll look into it alittle more, but I don't think there is anything I ...

Skypecast is up, however.........

Damocles — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 00:27:51 GMT

Hey, its Damocles, once again with some good news and some bad...... This time, good news first.............. I've successfully created a Skype Channel dedicated to the Linkshell. These channels are called "Skypecasts". It works perfectly, and anyone who knows the encryption can access it. Now the bad.......... Skype is currently in the BETA phase of Skypecasts, so any channel opened only exists for a short period of time. You can't create a permanent channel yet. So as ...

Hello Linkshell!

Wintergreen — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 05:28:04 GMT

This is my first time checking out the linkshell's website and it's very cool. I like the effort put into this, and it shows a certain amount of spirit that is true to the game. I guess I'll start off by telling how I got into Final Fantasy 11. I bought the game in October 2003 when it first came out for the PC, and I was so happy to get it. Weeks before it came out, I was reading on all kinds of websites dedicated to it (mostly Japanese) with all the big worlds to explore, monsters to ...

Linkshell Skype Channel

Damocles — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 21:15:07 GMT

Ok guys. I have some good news and some bad news about the proposed Skype channel. First, the bad (mostly applies to PC users)...... Becuase of the way FF11 is designed, Skype is completely non accessible during gameplay. FF11 is designed to run as a "full screen" application. In the event that any program is accessed outside of FF11, the games closes and you are logged out. Dual monitors do not fix this. If you run Skype in the second monitor, as soon as you click it, FF11 ...

PANDAMONIUM WARDEN TAKES 18+ HOURS TO BEAT??????????

Damocles — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 16:03:18 GMT

Am I reading this right? I hope this gets fixed before I get there! http://kotaku.com/5036371/final-fantasy-xi-boss-takes-at-least-18-hours-to-beat 18 hours of full-time combat, and still did not finish it! The article and its references do not go into detail what the lvls of the party was, but by the sounds of it they were probably in the 70s. Does this new boss really take that long? Is there more to the story? I mean really even the hardest battles should only be designed to take ...

August 9 - Planning BCNM

Damocles — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 04:46:02 GMT

Hey Guys,
I'm in, but ill need a week and a bit to prepare. Hopefully, it won't be as bad a last time (or so i've heard). I won't be in any shape to join in a BCNM if I don't have at least a week to prepare, but other than that, I'm in. Need a date and a time.

BCNM 30? Yes, Please

Kyathus — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 21:40:57 GMT

So when is a good night for everyone? I'm good most nights but my sch. is changing so I'll just say I'm good for any night till further notice.
I think Toadal Recall is a good BCNM, it had Utesumi (sp?) Ni and Phalynx. Check it out at FFXIclopedia.com.
