3. Requirements/Notes:. All party members need sky access. Supports up to 4 parties. Silent Oils required. General commentarus: Sky favours moving parties, and as such, is also highly populated with merit point parties (where one or more members are Level 75).

What are Merit Points? Once a player has reached level 75, he/she will have the option to earn limit points when defeating enemies. Once 10,000 limit points are obtained, they convert into one merit point. Merit points are a type of 'currency' used to 'buy' extra enhancements for a player whose main job has reached the last level cap (75). Speak with Emporox in Reisenjima and exchange 250 potpourri (stored Merit Points) to access one of the 3 battlefields. The Heroines' Combat II battlefield only costs 5 merit points to gain the item for entry. The time limit is sixty minutes. Players may remain in the area for three minutes after the battle has ended.

A week in review!

Guess what job is Etain! She’s one of the Fenrir Bloggers too if you didn’t know ^^; Its weird, you become friends to them ‘-‘ just by reading their blogs! Its magic of the Windy Talus! hehe. Speaking of Windy citizen, I never knew, Heavens Tower got a basement x__x Oh man :(! Felt like I didn’t know FFXI at all!

Ya, my LS and I went to try out Jormy. Consider Jormy was GuessWho’s 1st wyrm experience, I mean -any- wyrm experience, it was pretty good that they brought it down to 15%. We could use more DD but ^^; I had great fun getting blown up by bombs xD

And yea, last of all, at one point I did feel like I just beat FFXI lol. Novio Earring ‘-‘ Yes I just beat FFXI lool!

How far can money take you!

Yes, I was teasing Weeber and Istari, but I was wondering how far can “virtual” gil take you, will it break friendship? Couples? So I was like

Yo Istari, if you will leave Weeber (long time friend/gay partner), I’ll split the pot!

Apparently, Istari does seem like he’s a bit interested ‘-‘ just in the weird way! Istari <3 MaiButt!

Istari & Weeber are nice ppl, I won’t take them apart, was purely a joke. Unlike those ppl tat pulls out their emo stick when I play blue, nono I mean I was trying to go besiege and learn Radiant Breath and they emo.

Conclusion: 40m cannot break them apart ‘-‘, what relationship do you think they are in! I mean 40m! That can get you like 8 PCC, 13 vermillion cloak, you can make your friend so happy ^^;
