Been a few months on hiatus from this blog, but I think I'll be posting here more from this point forward.

What has transpired since FanFest 2007 and the release of the new expansion? Sadly, the last update from SE didn't give too much in the way of new missions/quests or unlock any of the new areas like Shadowreign Jeuno or Xarcabard. It seems like the content for this expansion is still only trickling in, and much of what was promised at FanFest has been sitting on the back-burner.

Hopefully we'll see SE ramping up in the coming months.

As for myself and the adventures of Rhealana..

In FFXI there's multiple jobs, and for each of those jobs, there's an "ultimate weapon" or "relic weapon". This is much like any other Final Fantasy where each character has a final optional weapon they can obtain that is considered the pinnacle of that job. Each weapon actually takes quite a bit of effort and game currency to finish, on average taking players several months to over a year to finish once they decide to start.

Rhealana's chosen job is the dragoon. The relic weapon for that job is Gungnir, the fabled spear of Odin.

Rhealana obtained Gungnir on January 10th, 2008.
