decidence @ quetzalcoatl: The New Era

Welcome to my new site where I can quickly and painlessly summarize what I'm doing lately in the world of FFXI (I think they call it a blog). For anyone that knows anything about my old site (http://decidence.co.nr) I am sad to say that the time it takes to keep that page updated is far too time consuming. However, in the coming days I will be transferring a lot of that stuff to this page as well as setting up links to other sites that contain the same data I presented so elegantly on my own.

For those that don't know me, I have been playing since about two weeks after PC release in North America. I leveled RNG to 67 and then took a 2-3 month break over the summer of 2004. Starting back again in September I leveled BLM to 75, then NIN to 75 both within 6 months. I decided after this to finish leveling RNG to 75 (after the ranged nerf) by August 2005. I spent about 6-8 months leveling fishing to 100 in 2004 (2nd NA to obtain LuShang [Apr04] and 1st to hit Lv100 [Nov04] on this server) and then took up goldsmithing in early 2005 (I'm Lv99.2 as of this post). I made a lot of money with fishing until SE nerfed the sell back rate of fish and black ink to NPC's.

Some notable achievements in the past year include:
- Getting Koga Feet and Hands to complete NIN relic armour
- Purchasing Speed Belt and Unsho
- Killing Nidhogg and King Behemoth for the first times
- Obtaining Brutal Earring, Boxer's Mantle and Stealth Earring within 3 months solo
- Being one of the first with Pahluwan Seraweels after assault released
- Being one of the first NA's with Walahra Turban only days after ToAU came out
- Crafting a Diamond Shield +1 and Wing Sword +1 in the same week
- Defeating 3 Attestation mobs in a single run with my dynamis shell
- Getting relic shield fragment for our dynamis leader in xarcabard
- Capping NIN merits

My current progress for Kikoku is:
Stage 1: 400/400 Byne Bills
Stage 2: 1600/1600 TWhiteshells
Stage 3: 6100/6100 OBronzepiece [Attestation of Legerity: N]
Stage 4: 2772/10000 Byne Bills [Demoniac Fragment: N]

I think this is good for now, if I can think of anything more I will make changes. Welcome!
