Back To Work

[sinjun]

But it was a wonderful weekend. ;)

Let's see. Watched Season 9, Episode 2 "Avalon Part 2" ... and got left at another cliffhanger, though not so nasty as the previous one. "Hallowed be the Ori .... " Uh huh. Can already guess I'm not going to like these folks and I haven't even met them yet. ;) Still watching out for SG1 spoilers - folks have been wonderful about not giving them to me so far. Keep up the good work. 

Played a bit of Puzzle Pirates. Oy - I'm not very good at those puzzles. But it's fun.

Played a bit of FFXI too. Managed (with lots of help) to get to level 5 with my poor warrior lady. Still not sure just what I'm doing but maybe I'll get it figured out. I did manage to accidentally disconnect myself without logging off - so I lost the 2 really useful macros that I had help creating. Darn it. Well, perhaps the same helper will help me recreate them one of these days. ;) That particular game holds promise, I think. Though I'm gonna have to play it a lot more to get the hang of the controls and such. It's just way more complex than things like puzzle pirates. And I think that one is bad enough. ;)

Walked a goodly distance as you can see from the previous post.  Still more to go - about 15 weeks until our Weekend Walk to End Breast Cancer. Donations are still more than welcome!

And I did make it to Crown Tourney and had a good time there. It was nice to catch up with even more friends I hadn't seen in years. Bonus! But this time, I don't get to laugh for the next year. Perhaps next time!  I'm planning now to go to Pikeman's Pleasure but not sure about  what comes up after that. (maybe a day trip to Murder Melee if the time can be found.)

And in other news - hey come on, it was a very busy weekend - it was the mailing of the invitations, obviously. Got invitations to my brother's wedding, my grandmother's 90th birthday, my graduation. Nice. Course, now I have to reply back to all of these things....

I can show you here what to put in your macro section. I am using the Cntl and Alt numbers that I personally use. Feel free to assign them to whatever number you like. Remember macros are case sensitive. Also since the > and < buttons dont show due to HTML here, I replaced them below with ( and ).....change accordingly in game.
_____________________________
Cntl 1 --- Provoke ---

/ja "Provoke" (bt)
/p Using Provoke on (t) now!
/wait 30
/echo Provoke Ready!
_____________________________
Cntl 2 --- Fast ---

/ws "Fast Blade" (t)
/echo Using Fast Blade!
_____________________________
Alt 9 --- Attack ---

/target (bt)
/attack (t)
_____________________________
Alt 0 --- Heal ---

/heal
/echo Healing! (mp) (mpp) MP - (tp) TP
_____________________________

Those should start you off rather well. For a break down on what they do...

Cntl 1: Provoke target
Cntl 2: Use your Weapon Skill "Fast Blade"
Alt 9: Targets and Attacks monster engaged by Party
Alt 0: Heals and gives you current MP % and TP % info

Hope this helps!

Ooohhhhhh!!!

Thank you. :)

Welcome :)

When you get more levels under your belt and you switch armor/weapons for certain circumstances, (ie: attack gear and healing gear) I can show you how to integrate that into your macros also.

I know its not much in the way of RP from the start, but once you learn the mechanics, we can RP if you like :)

[damara.livejournal.com]

You do know ... I may never get those mechanics down, right?

*ducks*

[proudsky.livejournal.com]

Sure you will, and then we can get to a higher level so I can show you the prettier things in Vana'diel.

I must admit, I have been so spoiled for so long with having acess to my main character's money....starting fresh on a new server without any means to transfer a few thousand gil to start me off with good equipment.....yea, kinda harder than I remember. lol

And can I just say that I've decided I dislike the quadavs like the one that sneak attacked me while I was making that macro.. darn thing.

And that flaming head thing? I want to kill lots of those. ;)

[proudsky.livejournal.com]

lol aye. I hate goblins. Lots. You will too once we hit 11 and go off to the Valkrum Dunes.

That flaming head....its a bomb. And they self-destruct. Bad news. Dont usually want to attack those. I was just feelin suicidal ;)

that flaming head ...


*dies laughing*

*swats*

Coulda warned me, you clown! Hrmph.

OH, and so far as Missions go - was I not supposed to go talk to Rashid and then go get the report in the mines and bring it back yet? Mission 1, I think. :) And I do have another one on my list. There's some guy I have to talk to - something about a geologic survey or something....

Course, I also have 2 quests that I can work on too...

Flaming head thing ... level 8-10... hrm... almost there. :)
