What's everyone done with the new Expansion?Follow

Soooo...

New expansion.

New Jobs.

New Missions.

Assault!

What has everyone done so far?

I myself have gorged myself on the Missions, activating BLU, and doing more Assaults than you can shake a taru at.

And of course...PICTURES!^^

Camping Fauscel...10 minutes before ToAU goes live

At the dock...camping the ship to the Near East^^

Go GO NM! Someone fished up this NM fish on the boat...excitement everywhere! Too bad it didn't drop

All those people on the boat...there were 160 people on the boat ride over O.O

The islands...shortly before making landfall in the Near East

Leeches at a lake...

Trees in the Thickets

A volcano brewing in the distance...will it explode?

What ghosts lie haunting the wrecked ships in the Reef?...

Trekking into a mountain, I happened upon a three headed dog...

Topped off my day watching a puppet dance...

Post your adventures and pictures!

well i'm not a high enough lvl to go beating things up in the new area, but the new city rocks, deffinitely a A+ rating from me on that. Also, COR is certainly a powerful support job, the most underrated of the 3 new ones.

Ahhhh...Cerberus...the new HNM everyone will be camping lawl. It's got the amememit mantle and venemous claw all in one (i.e. cerberus mantle and cerberus claw). Did it attack you? Any idea guessing it's level at this point? Was one of it's heads in constant berserk mode as I thought?

Unlocked COR (the only job I was interested in)

Was impressed with the graphics and new mobs.

Got gravity put on me from running in the water. (that was funny)

Found out Imps are true sight.

Watched my in game fiancee get attacked by a speck. (flea that was funny too)

And that was probably the last time I'll visit those areas unless I just absoultely have to.

Takes to long to get there and it's a pain trying to keep sneak/invis up.

I give them props for all the work that was done though. Great job except for the commute time. LoL

I read these threads on the forums because I can't even play FF >.>

Someone firaga something for me please? Take a screenshot, I need to see things falling over.

Took 2 days to download the update (yeah my connection is "teh sucky").

Ran all over Valkrummy Dunes and Buburimu Penin. for the 6 subjob items (im too poor to pay the 500k).

Flagged a few missions once in Whitegate. Got all the new jobs.

COR is lvl 1...
BLU is lvl 5
PUP is lvl 5
- still trying to figure out damn Maneuvers... >.>


All in all, it's been fun. Can't wait for the hype to die down so I can get back to leveling my whm. {Party} 47-49 {Can I have it?}

Busy week... And having a blast.


- Unlocked Pup, Cor, Blu (in that order)

- Lvl'd Cor to 5 to play with cards; Lvl'd Blu to 10... Onry got 5 abilities so far cuz mobs are stingy... Goin Blu all the way w/ mai mini-static

- Tried Assault 3 times. The lvl 60 cap in Mammool Ja. Failed all 3 times cuz we didn't know wut to do rofl (but sure was fun shankin those amphibians)

- On ToAU4, gonna try to finish to Chapter8 tonite *^^*

- Farmed sheep(Kakural) & elephants(Madrids) for materials to synth sexah outfits... Looks > all.

- Most of all, HAPPEH SIGHTSEEING w/ mai friends.

Lolz... Fought Madrids for the first time and didn't realize it shat out lil Chigoe thingy's that linked to em >.>...

So yeh, was concentrating on the damn elephant & gettin our butt kicked by its fleas.

First death in AU rofl... wewt! ('Least we know how to pwn the lil crack bugs now!)

So far I got all 3 new jobs unlocked, finished the first mission and got mog locker, did a little exploring, leveled Blue Mage to 37 and learned all the spells through level 38, finished the missions, got 3/5 staging point warps and got the maps for Aydeewa Subterrane and Mount Zhayolm.

I was there.

Yeh quick ways to kill Chigoe:

1) WS
2) Tier3 elemental spell
3) Dragoon jump


....Fackers hit faster than you can cast Utsusemi: Ni w/ Haste, March & Haste+ gear D:
....They're also hard as hell to run from rofl...

But yeh, first time they popped I didn't know what was hitting meh. Hell, I didn't even see em cuz they popped out from under the Marid. But, switch target and use one of the above methods - found it works well.
