Happy Patch Day!

Oh and it might be American Thanksgiving, as well. But Patch Day has always been one of my favorite holidays.

Will this patch save FFXIV? Here's hoping, I suppose, if I ever want to fill this little sketchbook.


This one is definitely Seyrr's fault. I don't know what the guy thinks he is going to do with 200 blocks of fish glue.


One more, and the last one in the book unless I get drawn back into the game. Kind of funny, since chronologically, this ought to have been one of the first pictures. To the best bro I never knew. Stand tall, Elflad, you were an elf among elfs.

El Forto Adventures - FFXIV

In theory this will one day be updated as I complete pictures.

But for now I still have a big backlog to go through. So enjoy the image dumps!

This whole being able to wear gear at any level, but it not being -optimal- until certain levels thing.. creates certain quandaries.

I like hats.


Does not everyone?



This is crafting in FFXIV.


Yes for real. AND I missed a couple of steps at the end (wood chips to logs, water to muddy water). Yikes!

New to you content!

Have you ever met my good friend Seyrr?


Now you pretty much have.

Fiddly bits are the hardest part of making things.

So, I can't quite figure it out... They're both basically me, and maybe its the heavier use of dialogue this time, but while Seyonne was mostly quietly earnest, mithra-Shade seems to be getting all of the lippy retardedness.


It's the perfect plan.

I figured Botany would be a good way to suplement Carpentry. However I found that I could not maintain the required focus.

I spilled water on this book yesterday, and was sad. Luckily only the inner cover was really affected. All of the regular pages are pretty much fine.

El Forto Adventures - FFXIV

The little sketchbook is perhaps the most fun thing about the game right now.


My brother is playing! Or he did!

For like a day.

Harder than it looks....


Double plus HQ.

I started playing FFXIV in September.

The collector's edition came with a little leatherbound notebook. But imagine my surprise, the pages are not lined. It is a SKETCHBOOK. Glorious.


After long long hours of remaking characters and staring at the screen in beta, I had finally decided to be a catgirl, and not an elfboy, in official release. Enter Shade Salahar, newbie adventurer supreme. She kills lots of marmots.


I really like the LS crests. I wish you could see peoples' LS names when you check them though. Maybe it'll be in the miracle patch.


I got a free hat with CE too! ... and immediately, desperately began the search for a different one.


Lightning reflexes too, I'm sure.


So, the game still needs a ton of work. But I am having fun filling up this little book. I've done a bunch of pages already, I will post more later.

Final:

Sat on this for a long time... but I think the wait did it good. This was a sorta gift for a friend. Hooray for zombies and atmosphere. Also the color purple.
