Noobsville ReturnsFollow

this is long over due

as i havnet been able to spend any time with the skill challenged of our beloved video game drug FFXi in a while. hiding in my far off places playing BST with the wife /wave. my son has a growing desire to play FFXI. He only comes over every other weekend. not by my choice but thats how the courts descided it. stupid lawyers and x wives. but i digress (yes a big word from mega go figure)

so i take a mule and spend 30-45 mins mailing and trading gear so i dont have to worry about his...... now he is my son i'll say what i want...... brain dead arse saleing my stuff. so after a debite for a long while on why he couldn't start out as a BST or NIN, or any other cool job. he decided he wanted to be a WAR. o and a Mithra. yes my 10 year old spawn of Satan . who i love so much is a Manthra. i show him how to use the map feature. and pointed on the screen were to go to go outside. then i walked away. of course ever 45 sec. "DAD can i kill <inset monsters name>?" and me yelling back "IDK what does it check?" after about 20 mins and me treating to make sure he never creates any of his own children he finally started to be independent and check his monster. i would sneak in the living room every now and then to watch him kill a single monster to take the drop to town and sale it. and to go to a store and see if there was anything he could buy.

then i told him somehting i shouldn't have. to go get signet. he did and OMG at the crafting questions i got.i finally pulled out my old FFXI guide book i got when i bought the game and plopped it in front of him. here all the crafting info you'll need for a while. and back to my tabletop 3-d city project i was working on. i kinda zone out and realize 4 hours have passed and hes still playing. i go and check on him. and he has the book on his lap. reading the hole book and his Char is dead. and he didn't even notice. i go
"Hey(he jumps out of his skin) you can't get XP while dead hero." he looks over and laughs and home points. and hes level 7. i ask him why hes still killing <insert monster> because they drop necklesses and i make those into thread and thread into cloth and cloth into capes. i sale the capes to the store cause none of mine on the AH have sold. ummm son your 10 right? yea ok just checking.

well i check on him a few more times and hes still lvl 7 killing everything he can then i tell him were to go to get better XP and hes off. still running back and forth everytime his inventory is full. next thing i know he has 5k gil and is so proud of himself. and he is mad cause he keeps dieing . i tell him he needs to upgrade his gear. he runs to the AH and has no idea what to buy. i tell him its his gil spend it how he wanted. butot be careful to make sure what he bought he could equip.

he buys a set of armor. and doesnt have enough for a weapon. so i tell the wife to buy him one. of course 15 mins later he sold it so he could buy some MNK claws. so i tell him hes now all on his own when it comes to gil.

well about 2 hours later i go back and hes still right out side the gate killing the lvl 1-2 mandies and bee's . i tell him hell never get to 10 if all hes goingto do is kill that stuff. so i take him to the outpost and set his HP there. now he can kill and sale his wears all in the same place. i log him out and say he can play more soon.

the next time he gets on he kills stuff outside giddus till he is level 10. i take him to the canyon. and of course hes mad cause the monster hit harder and its to hard to kill them. i terll him he only has to do it till hes lvl 12 and ill take him to the dunes. i walk backto my project. and i hear "crap". whats wrong. stupid mandi killed me. i told him to walk back and try again. i get up about 30 mins later to get a drink and i peek in on him. hes back outside windy gate killing bees again.

what are you doing? those were to hard so i came back . watch watch i can kill these in 1 hit. i know son and you get 5 XP for it to. but i wont die like that other place. dad.

i know but your going to die alot better get used to it know. so he goes back.
and i leave the room. i go back about a hour later and hes right back in windy.
what are you doing now. im crafting. i need money. whyt do you need money? idk but i do.

so i take the controller. and say well go play zelda . cause i need XP.

last night was one of the most messed up parties i've EVER had. I was asked to join a party as my BLM(60) and the party setup was as follows
PLD, SMN, BRD, BLM, THF, DRG...

now we sat outside the nest for about 15 mins because the DRG couldn't quite remember were the nest was. and they got lost finding the zone. with all of us standing out side in ronaberry fields waiting on he/she to find us. they show we go inside and the THF is scoped us out a camp in secret room. the DRG puts themselves on follow to our SMN and then goes afk to get snacks. about the time we hit the first drop off the PLD DC's. right from here i knew i should of just went back to jueno. but i didn't i stayed because the SMN and BRD were LS members.

i continue to camp. and the DRG just stops and sits down in the main room. the SMN pokes them and asks them in party why they stopped they wont answer. the PLD is back now. and re invited. and we cant go anywhere because the DRG wont respond and wont move. after a few <call>s the get up we go to the camp site. and the THF is DCing no wait hes not... yes he is... no wait hes not.. wtf he dcing....

every 10-15 seconds he gets the DC symbol over his name it says there for about 5 sec then goes away. so everyone is at camp FINALLY. the SMN sync to the PLD who is 44 and buffs everyone and its GO time! the thf dont move.. i check everyones here. still he doesn't move.. a min goes by . and i say
<me> dude were ready you can pull now.
<thf> i know how to do my D*MN job.
<thf> i dont need you permission.
<thf> i said give me a f*cking sec.
<me> dude your Dcing every 15 sec i didn't see anything but you cussing.

so i tell the SMN he cusses me again either i am leaving or he is. the SMN tell me. if he makes me mad again to warp him she has a THF on standby. she doesn't like the way hes talking. i say ok. and the first mob gets pulled 45 mins after i originally got the invite. after 3 or 4 mobs the BRD DC's. now remember earlier i said i should of left but didn't? well here we go. the THF asks is he should pull. the SMN says what we thought. i say i wouldn't but the rest say ok. SOooooooooo they pull. well guess what??? yea were not winning ive stopped nuking and started backup healing. just so the tank doesn't die. as were about 3/4 tho killing it. the DRG tries to uses her instant warp scroll. but the mob hits her and it fails to activate. the PLD dies the Thf then dies. then both mages and the DRG last.

then this comes across my screen
<drg> that sucked.
<me> yea but it happens
<pld> im so sorry guys.
<me> dont worry man death happens
<drg> yea i tried to use my warp scroll but it didn't go off ;:
<me> so you were trying to warp out during the fight?
<drg> yea i was taught thats what im supposed to do.
<pld> dude thats fleeing you shouldn't do that.
<drg> i didn't want to lose my buff. and there was nothing i could do. i was taught to just get out.
<me> well whoever taught you is a complete dumba$$!
<drg> my hp is in jueno i could of ran right back.

in a tell from the SMN to me. O OMG please please dont leave. i told them it was ok and we could move on.as long as nothing else happened i was fine. during this time. the PLD sayin party he only has a few min left and we should get a replacement. well the SMN is looking and no RDM or BRD seeking and the only tank a nin won't respond. so the SMN says were just going to disband. the THF pitches a huge fit. saying hell find people. hell get a Ninja and a RDM. well after 20 mins hes got a rdm who is his RL brother and a ninja from his LS is comming. the ninja was the one who wouldn't respond to the SMN.

after about 20 more mins the NIN and RDM show. up are invited. and BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

<nin> dude you send me one more F#CKING tell im gone.
<thf> what i was just asking.
<nin> i told you this is a friends F#cking char not mine the comments are hers.
<thf> jeeze dude sorry
<nin> im in a bad mood so lets just xp ok.

the SMN is talking in LS now shes crying and begging for forgiveness. and all she wants is to just get xp. after 5 or 6 mobs the xp is going nicely and then this comes over the LS

<smn> OMG IM NEVER PARTING AGAIN THE THF AND RDM ARE LEAVING!!!!
<me> they run here and we kill 4 mobs and they are leaving?
<smn> yea
<me> what 200+ per mob without a ring not good enough?
<smn> no there just tired.
<me> great

i came real close in this post and breaking my rule about not naming names but im not. but watch for a dcing thf and a drg wearing CHR gear.

How to annoy a PL
Well after a weeks vacation. And getting a lot done while I was on vacation. I started leveling my SAM once again. I decided to level all the subs I would need to make sure I was ready for any instance. In the process I pretty much only needed to level RNG. Well I told my wife I would need to rebuy low starting gear for RNG and when I got home from work I would head to the dunes and level it up (was 11). My god send of a wife after she couldn’t find a party for her self decided to pre do all that for me . she bought all the gear and teleported me out to the dunes. She figured if she got 5 other DD’s she would PL me tho the dunes before I even got home. Well time passes and I walk in at 4 p.m all glad to be home so I can relax in my recliner and maybe eat a nice dinner.

But to my surprise I’m in the dunes. “ what you doing dear?” “trying to PL you to 20.”
I reply “trying is it that bad?” she laughs well you haven’t died but watch this. Im level synced to 17 and wearing lvl 10 armor with a lvl 1 bow and a lvl 10 axe. She walks out fulls a pug and heads back to camp. As soon as it enters camp it get s bombarded with mass provokes. I laugh she goes it s not funny. They keep provoking it off me. and it kills them watch. Sure enough. BANM a war meet screwdriver. She goes it never fails about every 4 mobs one of them dies from that.

I ask have you asked them not to. Yes about 5 times but yet they still do. I pull the uber 1337 card. Well as long as I ant dyeing I don’t really care. then she says well that’s not the ½ of it. …. Ok what else is it . the SCH keeps dyeing to. How is he dyeing he just has to stand there and rake in the xp? And I watch and sure enough he is curing and nuking his little low lvl mp arse off. And banm dead. I start laughing again. she goes its not funny. Hes the one your synced to. And he wont get up. she casts raise on him and he starts spamming in party for him to get up. and sure enough he wont. As soon as the mob dies he gets up.. ive asked him over and over to not cure. But hes determined to be the main healer. Once again. I pull out my 1337. well as long as it ant me. I don’t really care.

Well I ask whats for dinner. And she kind a snaps. And develops a twitch. I volunteer to cook dinner while she levels my RNG some more. As I turn to walk in the kitchen she screams at the TV. “ I’ll shove that crab meat up you’re a$$ if you ask again for it da*M it!” someone in the party a cook? This dip every time something drops he wants it from every crystal to rock salt. Well dear it is the dunes. And I giggle and go start dinner (spagatti with meat ballz, Garlic bread and a salad)

I keep walking back and forth from the living room to the kitchen keeping a eye on dinner. And she slowly over time replaces them when they leave until she has a almost entire new party. She is all happy now. Dinner gets finished. I bring her a plate and ai sit down to eat. We never seem to eat at the dinner table anymore I don’t know why I bought the darn thing. It’s a giant key holder. cause all it seams I ever put on it is mail and my keys. Sooooooooo I take the controller and pull a crab. Start heading back to camp and its just me and a single war. WTF? We start fighting it and over the hill here the rest of them com. I look at her . she said just wait you’ll find out.

About 15 sec later I get a tell “pull flys” I look all of them have a sub job…. Ok so I pull a fly. Then I go back to pulling crabs. Pull another fly. Why do u want flys. Cause I’m 3/5 I need 2 more. ….. Freaking TOV? Yea. I figure ok ill do that np. I pull everything they need figuring once done we can move on. As soon as I pull the last mob on there list I head back to crabs. I pull on and turn to see them running off. WTF are u doing. Going to get page 3 again brb….. she laughs. I look at my wife. Not so funny anymore is it?


I R UBER 1337 NOOBZ

Well I get home from work early. And my wife is still at work so I decide to go after my SAM af missing parts. Well I look it up online were its at. Look in my locker sure enough I have a key. I grab it and look on the atlas at what argo’s what. And grab my silent oils. And stand out side shouting for a teleport altep. Bing bang boom im on a cho in the desert headed to Quicksand caves. Being a seasoned vet I remember were the entrance is and were the coffers spawn. I pop in run a bit and pop my silent oil. And off I go a running. I run past 2 or 3 ants just as im about to drop in the hole WHAM. I get hit. For the split second you stop and kinda turn to see what hit you. and realize its just a normal mob. Then you remember o snap im about to die. GET TO DA CHOPPA. So I start booking it to a safe spot to die. Which happens to be in the room were that NM drops that cloak everyone camps. The yellow and white one. Sure enough its camped. I stand back a distance. And in a say” when I die can you raise me” and I fall over dead.

Sure enough they raise me. I stand up walk over to the corner . and pop another silent oil. And it hit me like a ton of bricks. I didn’t bring silent oils I brought prism powders. DA**IT! So I figure well serves me right. I figure well I can simply warp back using a warp club and pick the stuff up and be back in 5 mins. I pop up my equipment menu and select my sword. Ok were my sword? Were is my earrings , rings, necklace, back piece? My belt my bow my arrows……… I check my items list. I’m carrying 40 stacks of arrows. Arrows I cant even use yet. OMFG! She logged me on to craft arrows to sale and didn’t finish. Your now stuck in quicksand caves with no way to hide yourself and no way to warp out.. what are you going to do?

Well what any uber 1337 player does.. /l OMFG HELP ME I R SCARED AND A BIG BAD MAN TOUCHED ME! and sure enough one of our overly protective whm female chars types saved the day. they brought me a stack of silent oils and volunteered to stay with me if I needed them. I told the na I could handle a little coffer hunt. So they warp out . I sneak up and off I got. The first spawn point I check there it is. No more then 20 sec and I find it. I pop the sucker and ta da. SAM AF Pants. Then it hits me … u still got no way out . Crap. I “/l woot got it.” Then the whm laughs. Now you got to walk all the way back. Or ghetto warp. I look at my xp. If I ghetto warp I’ll delevel. I reply. Well good thing I got 11 silent oils left. It’s a long walk to Rabo lol. The whm offers to come back out and get me. I tell her its ok serves me right I deserve the walk after forgetting . to check my inventory. Morel of the story? Prism powders are awesome but they don’t sneak you, a inventory full of arrows. Wont get you home. And your LS is a thing of beauty. Even if you don’t know if your flirting wit ha mithra or manthra. Lol. But which ever it was they came when u needed them.

poke fun at it all you will. but at least you read it.

This installment of Noobsville is more a personal Tank you post to my LS and friends for the Awesome Weekend. For starters Hit floor 100 Nyazul Isle: Ray, Rur , Min, Jel, Chi you guys rock best event static ive been apart of in a long while. Then I finally got Sea… I know a lot of you think I already have sea. You would be surprised at the comments I get people thinking I have everything and just roam the FFXI earth taking law to the lawless but anyway. Yep yep and was anyone else like me and thought that Tensen was a big sissy? I expected him to be a lot harder. And all uber not … WHAM dead…. ok lame. And as if that wasn’t enough… I unlocked 4 yes count em 4 of the mystic Weaponskills Drakebane, Primal Rend, Tachi: Rana & Garland Of Bliss. (DRG, BST, SAM, SMN) I got 2 weapons left to unlock (RDM, PLD)

And im here to tell you Garland of bilss is the gayest looking Ws in the game. It does awesome dmg for a staff ws but its Uber 1137 gay. All I can say is kaleidoscope. That’s right a rainbow of flavor /puke. I hope everyone had a great weekend. And gratz to Husa on his 1,000 post im only like 65 behind you.


P.P.S when walking in sea and someone say watch out for UFO's they mean watch out for floating jellyfish. ~*~LS record first death in Sea 32 seconds (mine)~*~
not silver flying saucers with little green man inside.o and "Gold Fish" and Avatars dont like each other. So no summons avatars around goldfish......><

Actually I just said they were rude, I never said they were noobs since that would ironic coming from me who has only been playing since March.

Hey this is Cuppucakie... again >>;

I don't mind outing myself as a noob or newbie :) I'm lucky that I can get help from Ketsuri or Busa and my ls when I ask. I'm pretty casual and since I haven't been playing for any length of time that gives me leetness over other players, I just enjoy myself and learn what I can.

I really did enjoy that group we were in because it was the first time I had to pull. I was a little afraid, admittedly. I fell through a hole once and I think I died when I out-ran the healer but at the end of the party I felt like I really got a handle on my job in a party. I WILL be leveling NIN soon lol. My little taru ass won't survive if I don't.

yea pulling can be the easiest and hardest job outthere sometimes. if you dont know the area. or if the mobs argo sight or sound or if they even argo at all.
ooo and does that link? ive had no telling how many people fall during garlidge pulls. as a nice backup plan i always carry the following in my mob satchel ( or inventory forthe security token impaired)

1 stack of silent oils
1 stack of prisum powders
1 stack oe echo drops
2 warp clubs (stupid recast timers)
1 stack of mage food
1 stack of tank food
1 stack of dd food
1 reraise erring

this way no matter what job or level i am i have food. and a way to hide incase im in the wrong place at the wrong time.

casue you rember your statment about falling while pulling . ...well once i fell and was all o np ill brb( thinking im da sh*t yo and ant nothign goignto get me) and i fall over dead. serket was up and i got hit by his AOE. full to dead and since no one could get to me i bit a home point.
o sweet memeories. learning to pull early in your ffxi life helps u alot. it devolops skills that dont show in your combat or magic skills. its teaches u the zones and helps u learn how to avoid argo. its easy to look at a map but the maps are for showing you were the lost person is.

have a good day and dont call youself a noob, your not. plus if u call your self a noob Busa will think hes moving up in the world .....wahahahahahahhahahah

well its not really a noobsville sotry but i got yelled at late night. i am currently leveling BLU. and a few of the spells u can learn by the time you can learn them the mobs that are best learned from are low mobs like Infrasonics. which is leared from ANY lizard. well do te do i am walking around and kinda umm gathered up like oooo 15 lizards and was simply standing there in the Sauromugue Champaign. naked casting a few magic fruits ot get lost hp back and i must have upset a soloist.

cause since im not a big FOV person i had no idea they were needed for the fov junk. realizing i did a bad thing i casted a quick
aoe spell. and killed em all. and wouldnt u know it i learned the move.

i love learnign moves in 1 kill but man ther are those times when it seem like it takes for ever to learn anything. stupid healing breaze too forever when i started blu. now its fing body slam. ive been body slamed about 20 trimes and just cant ge the mfer to learn it(yes im in range and yes my skills are capped 60 BLU/30 NIN skill 203 naked)
i went and tryed to see if i could learn it in MMM and i took my wifes char as 30 something. and get this crap one of them killed me. first thing it did was peterfy me and beat me to death 3-5 hp at a time.
miss, miss, miss, miss, 3 dmg, miss, miss, miss, miss, 5 dmg

and i kid u not it wears i have 45 hp left and it does a aoe move and kills me dead bofore i can do anyhting.

so embaressing.

He's our resident story teller. Im just the mean drunk douche bag.

I knew that guy was an evil Dr. Phil wannabe.

That sucks, I hope they (the bank) will reimburse you for that. I know most credit accounts will cancel the charge and not charge you, but I hear debit accounts' policies are bank-dependent.

I wonder if my character's actions will ever make an appearance on this page. I sure hope I stay a newbie and grow rather than become a noob and fail.

I saw you in game Busa (COR?), it was like seeing a famous person. I'm using your crafting guide for Clothcraft too.

Here is a story straight from Qufim Island. Now I'm no pro, i'm still a newbie by most measures. But certain things should be common sense I would think. I was in a pt a nin as tank, my taru butt as mnk, a thf, a sam, red as healer and blm. To maximize damage (and because it is good practice i think) I told the sam and I to do one skillchain and the nin + thf to alternate with another, having the blm magic burst for that extra damage. We were fighting clippers and worms, nothing too crazy, but clippers take a while to die with such a high def at our level.

Anyway, Things are going well. Sam and I do Fragmentation, blm learns how to burst thunder. crabs were dropping like flies. Then the blm goes noob on us. Whle the group is waiting for the puller to return with a crabby, the blm runs off. He starts to 'solo' a worm. worm checks at VT.

I say "double pull?" but the puller already returns with the crab (we are NOT near this worm, healer couldn't do double duty). I then say, "<blm name>, are you ok? we are fighting a crab" His response is "no problem, I can solo this worm". someone in pt gives a ":-/".
Well we fight our battles. the blm health is a steady drop, with some heals he casts himself, then he dies before we can finish the crab. The crab goes down.

blm <read noob> didn't get reraise from book. We start /sh for a raise. He gets his own to come out. now, the noob gets noobier.

He gets healed, and is resting. Less than 1 minute after his raise we pull a crab while he is resting as we can take it out without him. I see him be next to healer, out of harms way. Healer pulls aggro for a sec, but nin/war provokes it back. We start skillchaining the crab, nin-thf do theirs, then sam and I do mine. Noob magic bursts it. crab runs over to the weakened noob, i mean blm, and one hit kills him again. LESS THAN 3 MINUTES from last death. I offer the advice "Plz try not to magic burst while weakened, pulls aggro" He goes back to hp and shops, but stays in party. We stay and finish the page.

Common sense people! Another thing, maybe for another thread. i'm still new to the game, but I see no real disadvantage to using skillchains. it seems likeI am pulling teeth trying to get people to want to do it, in dunes and at Qufim. I'm only level 35 (as of yesterday) so i haven't been in other areas to know their receptiveness. Why the aversion to skillchains?

As an XBOX360 player, i've gotten used to using the controller for most things and a USB keyboard for chat. I've just installed the game on my PC so I can play when i'm unavailable on my 360. I look like a lvl 38 noob.

I don't know how to do anything without my controller. it took my like 5 minutes to figure out how to open the menu. i'm going to have to go back to beginning area and learn how to fight with the keyboard, it is so embarasing.

Plus all my Macros are gone (saved client side i'm told). It really feels like i'm learning a new game almost.

WOOT! So happy now. Gotta pick up a wired contoller now.

Do love the occasional WG shout-match.

I remember the time I got drunk and decided I was going to shout terrible things until I got jailed. Then I would have been to every area . . .

Well just to show you that no matter how long you have been playing even the most seasoned pros can end up in a Noobs ville story and not expect it.

Black Out Blues

So first off let me tell you how freaky a feeling it is and how helpless a person is when your running thro Dynamus Xbaguard. Cutting up, nuking mobs as blm. And u make a funny comment. And POW and a bright light and a puff of smoke come from behind your TV. The screen goes black. And you have no idea what to do. Well luckily for me. I was eating a wall. Until I dced while trying to power up my laptop and log back on. So now I’m in the market for a new TV. It sucks from going from a 50” tv to a 15” laptop ><
Well anyway on to the humor of my tale.

~Fade in Sky~
Me and the LS are camping Despot and in the process doing FOV pages to pass time. page 3 is nice btw. So we got about 10-12 people in different places in sky camping different things. Cutting up and doing our thing. Telling joke and generally poking fun
When my Wife tells me she had to go to work. And wanted a warp. I go ok. So im on stun duty. So I slam thro my spells hit Warp II on the wife and reselect my Golem. Incase I need to stun as soon as the sleep goes off. Were rocking and socking 3-4 at a time so you got to watch it.
Then i need to stun. As I ready to hit the button my screen goes black. Im thinking HOLY CRAP MY TV NOW MY LAPTOP. IM CURSED WHAT AM I GONNA DO FING SE I yell profanites to the celling ………. Then I am standing in White Game. The chat log fills with
LOL’s

“ screw you guys like you have never done it. My moogle missed me he needed a hug ok. Don’t be a hater….BRB”

. So I tele mea and sky warped. To them still laughing at me. stupid SE placing them beside each other >.> I’ll have to sort my spells so warp isn’t beside warp 2 in my spell list no more. So Have a wonderful day FFXI see you soon.

So last week I am in a Xp party and I get a tell from someone I don’t know and there all friendly asking me what I’m doing. How everything ect. Well after about 10-15 mins they finally come clean and its my Real life Baby sister decided to reactivate her account and start playing again. under a new name . so she starts asking me questions on were to go and what to do I give her all the normal starter advice I give new people playing.

And off she goes. I tell her to level all the new jobs to at least 10 to get a feel for the different styles. From magic to just whacking to punching things to death. I have her contact people from my community ls and give her a pearl. Being in a EGLS im usally quite busy these days. So I don’t get to go to my community ls as much as I would like.
Sure enough they give her a pearl. I do go my LS events for the night and just left my char on while I had he laptop open watching some Netflix. Then I get a tell

<sis> hey you there?
<me> yea sup?
<sis> im lost can u help me?
<me> sure were are you?
<sis> if I knew that I wouldn’t be lost?
<me> what zone smart a$$.

At this point I say screw it and I look her up my self.
<me> now explain to me WTF your doing in east ronfar. Am I mistaken but didn’t you start in windy?
<sis> well I made it to 10 right. Well the ls said I was to low to stand in the dunes for a party. That I need to come her e the xp was better. So they came and got me. told me to kill things here and left.
<me> ok just jill yourself and hp back to windy.
<sis> they had me change my hp to sandy. Said it would be easier.
<me> jesus Christ. Leave you alone for 10 min and you end up half way across the world lost. only you.
<sis> just shut up and get me out of here>
<me> im coming . retard

So after a few mins I find her standing in a corner. I invite her to party. And proceed to ask her if she got the mea crystal? Nope. Well did they get you the holla crystal on the way here? Nope dem? Nope… so these guys got you took you over here and had you set your hp.
<sis> they also wanted me to change nations to sandy. Said it would make rank missions easier for me since there not windy.
<me> well did you?
<sis> no I ant stupid I know how to do the windy ones from last time.
<me> umm not stupid huh welcome to SANDY GENUS.
<sis> o shut up and get me home.

So I take her back to the crags get her dem and holla. Then have her use the book to go back to windy. And wouldn’t you know it by the time I found out who had her do all this they had all logged off.
Still cant figure out why they did that. and why they would want a lvl 10 war kill 10 of every mob in the zone with 4 different weapons. But that was her “homework” on FFXI

She has since dropped the pearl. And gotten a new one. And is slowly making her rise to getting a few jobs to 30. and is happily learning how to navigate from windy outward.
