Just returned, looking for new home/friends
By Juggalo 2013-05-14 15:03:07
I've just returned to the game (again) after an(other) absence from it. My old Linkshell is no more, and I am looking for either a good home or at least a few buddies to group up with for content. In order of desire to play, my primary jobs are Dragoon (my favorite!), Warrior (have an Ukon 85, 21/75), Thief, Ninja (would be up for going for a Kannagi for it), Black Mage, and White Mage. The rest (all 99) are hit or miss in terms of skill and familiarity (with admittedly some at Skill Level "can't play for ****," such as COR). My playtime is sporadic at the moment (no LS with which to schedule playtime for events), but my availability would normally be weeknights after 6pm EST and randomly on weekends (typically my RL time). I have a wedding coming up in July, so there are times where that obligation and all it entails may require my attention instead. All that being said, here are some of the things I am interested in (in order of preference):
Spamming Shinryu until Twlight Mail drops
I have something like 12 million Cruor stored up. I really just want to form a strike team of people who either need any other piece of gear, or just want to help me out of a sense of altruism, and spam Shinryu until he drops the Twilight Mail for me. Even if it's the case that this piece is no longer that great, it's the only piece from him that I've never gotten, and I have no problem dropping Brews like the game is shutting down if that's what it takes. Just need the strike team to assist :)
^ Achieved 6/7/2013 - only took 6 brews! ^
New Nyzul Isle
Point-blank: I want that Phorcys gear. I'd like to do this, and would be fine spamming NNI80 for gear if NNI100 is too daunting. Again, fairly new to it, but I've read up on it to great extent and have done original Nyzul (though only to Floor 75 - sidenote: would be nice to tackle those last 25 floors!), so I am familiar with how the whole thing works (ie objectives on each floor). But this is second priority to me (after the Mail).
Einherjar (old/new)
I've beaten the first version of this on a regular basis with my old Linkshells, but I never accrued a ton of Therion Ichor so I'd definitely be up for more of it (need it for Mythic progression anyway). I have never done the Einherjar II version, but I'd be interested in that, as some of the drops looked interesting to me.
Assault
Yeah, super old content here, right? Basically my first time I quit was when this was all the rage. When I returned (last time), people weren't even doing this anymore. I imagine people are only even bothering with this for Mythic Weapon progress but hey, if that's you, consider me in. I'm currently Corporal rank.
Salvage
I did this maybe three times total, since my Assault Points were so low due to not getting to do Assault much itself. I'd be up for doing it considering I never got to, but I know there's a Salvage II which has likely replaced this as an event people do. Again, not entirely familiar with it, but interested in doing it. If you do Salvage, {I'm interested.}
Dynamis and Abyssea gear/drops
Here's the thing: long before Abyssea was even announced, I wanted to get all my jobs to 75 and so I started working towards that. Eventually, I had obtained all Artifact Armor for each job and I created a new goal to obtain all Relic Armor for each job. Of course, Abyssea came around and now my goal also included obtaining all Empryean Armor for each job as well (+2s). Anyway, I have a spreadsheet that I've maintained for the Relic (http://goo.gl/nfPoQ) and Empryean Armor (http://goo.gl/TxN6Z). As you can see, I still don't have all that gear but would like to keep at it (even if it's considered out of date these days). So that's something I'd definitely be interested in continuing with. If you do Dynamis, even just for currency farming, I'm up to tag along and not let those gear drops go to waste! If you're after something in Abyssea, I'm down to help out and similarly ensure stuff doesn't hit the floor needlessly!
Voidwatch
I believe I have completed the Tiers for each of the three starting cities, but that's it. I'm not even sure the story behind this anymore, but it's a piece of content I never saw through to its end and would like to complete it. I love the idea of the VW warps, but I don't have them all yet (from not unlocking all tiers). Furthmore, I can only hold 3 stones right now and one Atmacite, so I'd definitely like that to change. If you do the various VW battles on a regular basis, please let me know so I can tackle them all over time with you!
Wings of the Goddess
I'm aligned with San d'Oria and on the "Fall of the Hawk" mission. Again, just a piece of content (an entire expansion pack, really) that I never got to finish and would like to.
Legion/Skirmish/Reive/Delve
Never done the first two. Have done Reives mostly solo, or just joining ones in progress that I come across while looking for Lost Articles. Have done one Delve where I got in as a White Mage (hard to get in these days as anything but a WHM, COR, or BRD if you don't already have a Delve weapon!). Interested in this stuff, too!
Limbus
Just mentioning this because Dynamis and Limbus used to be my favorite two events. I'm not even sure people do it anymore but it's something I'd enjoy, especially in Lvl 99 mode!
One thing I'd like to note is a lot of people may look at the above list of interests and say "You can solo that" or suggest dual-boxing, etc. I understand that, but it is not my interest to do so. I want to party up with some other players, become friends along the way, and progress together. I'm not criticizing that play style by any means, but I'd just go play an offline single-player game if I wanted to play solo. Maybe some only take one other player? Or two? I'm not sure, but I'd still like to have even just those to help me out and form actual bonds like how the game used to be. Perhaps that's naive of me in this post-Abyssea game, but just throwing this whole thing out there and hoping at least a couple of people want to play ball, so to speak. Also, I apologize if the above list is sort of scattered, but hopefully it's at least thorough enough to find some like-minded players. I'm not looking for an LS that is doing ALL of the above, of course. But if you are interested in any of the above and maybe know another person to come along, too, let me know and we can knock out one of the items listed above. Naturally, I'm obviously willing to reciprocate and help others out in their own goals as well. Let's play!

Hey guys, thanks for checking out this thread. I'll definitely reach out to you in-game!
Also, I updated the original post since it's been almost a month. I put stuff in order of preference as well as updated some of each.
See you in-game soon! :)
