Me? I successfully quad-melded a Gyphonskin Tunic! And by me, I mean I made my friend do it for me. Got 3rd meld (30% chance) and 4th meld (15%) on the first tries. Sadly, 5th meld failed with only an 8% chance.
And I thought I was cool because I got to level 50, got my full set of AF armor, and got a rod with a big purple and black scarab beetle on the top that opens its wings when you cast... Quad melting... That's next level bro...
I got to 37 fishing, but I'm trying to catch the desert catfish and have been unsuccessful so far. I posted in the Fisher forums to see if anyone else has done it and if they have any advice. Happy with my fishing progress, looking forward to the level 50 armor.
Wow...Um...lets see. I got ARC to 6, got Archer to 14, CON is now 22. Tried Titan, got wiped. Got Goldsmithing to 15ish, Mining to 5, Carpentry to 11 or 12 (can't remember), Botnast to 6, Fishing to 7. I know I'm jumping around alot, but enjoying it.

Is that the fishing gear with all the lures and tackle attached to it? I so want to work on fishing more! Lvl 8 atm...
I got to 20 in less than a day on Gladiator. Now I'm about to get my GC and choco license and be back where I was on Lamia. Made a lot of good new friends, too.
I penta-melded a cotton cowl do get my gamblers crown. Unfortunately this really isn't an achievement because the first four were 100% and the fifth was 40% chance.

You wanna go east of Byregot's Strike. So you're fishing in a spot called "Sagoli Dunes", not "Sagoli Desert".

Yes, that Taru that is part of the quests (Not Sisipupu but the other one outside the guild) is wearing it, or at least some of it. The hat for sure.

Awesome, hopefully I can try this before the servers go down tonight!
21 CNJ, finished my hunting log to 20, caught up with a lot of the story, did the level 15 dungeons a bunch of times and all I got was a lousy pair of earrings and three levels. Finished my level 20 CNJ quest too.
Explored a lot. A lot. Ran into some areas that were too high level for me but managed not to die. ("Hey what's over here - oooooh snap level 37 aggressive couerls nope nope nope nope")
Would have done more, but 1017 got me most of last Friday and Saturday, and I still have Monday night events in FFXI.
Finished the main storyline, got my magitek mount, got full monk & dragoon AF(monk may have been done before this weekend -shrugs-), and dipped a toe into the end-game waters by completing a successful run of Wanderer's Palace. Then I said "enough of that" and started fishing. Up to 41 on that.
Even though I was fighting the unbeatable 1017 boss most of the weekend, I still feel I got a lot accomplished in the time I did get to play. I got my CNJ to level 25, earned my retainer, and was able to join a GC and earned enough seals to get my first little chocobo. I was also able to get my weaving to level 17 and my Botanist to 21. Looking forward to leveling fishing, but think it's best not to try and tackle too many things at once. I'm loving this game and our FC, and am keeping my fingers and eyes crossed that the upcoming maintenance defeats the dreaded 1017 monster, once and for all!
I know it's nothing compared to most of these post... I unlocked SCH and successfully healed the party during my first run through of Hakke Mansion. I was soooo nervous I'd ***** up controlling my heals and Eos's. Such a relief when we made it w/o KOs.
50 WHM and finished the WHM class quests, complete with Unicorn and AF. So fun!
Turned out that HOLY was an essential spell for beating the class quest. That spell is awesome in both animation and power!
I also explored a ton of areas. I kept switching to my 35 THM just before the fog of war so that the EXP for finding a new area didn't go to waste, especially when I cleared the last tidbit of map and got the area's exploration bonus. The exploration EXP scales with level, so you want to explore on your highest character that is not 50 to maximize the bonus EXP.
Got ARC and CNJ to 25 each (can't decide), fished to 21, have been working on main story quests. Just got my chocobo.
Did the "Lazy for You" FATE against the huge malboro and was pleased to see that dying doesn't cause you to lose rewards (think FFXI, you're dead you get nothing). Especially because I died to poison right at the end, 30 seconds before the mob died so I had contributed alot. Got 10k xp, gold, and the minion!
Thanks for the links Wint. I hit 32 in fishing and am grinding out the 2nd tier of achievements. Noscea and Shroud are done at lvl 2 and working on Thal. Then it is on to lvl 3. However, looking at those pieces, I might want to just fish Del Sol for sharks till 40.
As for my weekend when I could get in, fishing: see above. Unlocked WHM. Put up with asshat tanks in Hala and Toto, then had some great personable tanks at other times. Got all my classes to 15 and burned off all my lower gear into materia. ..and that is really all I had planned. Now I want to work on tanking better while pushing through the story... TBD by the login servers.
