I didn't see anyone else posting one, so here goes:

I got LNC/DRG to 38, no big woop I know... but considering I have been doing mainly crafting it's crazy I have any fighting jobs levelled at all.

I got Miner to 20, mainly to help level my armorer and get crystals for all my crafting classes.

Got Armorer to 31 - this may be my new main lol... loving the levelling system for crafting and I want it at least as high as my LNC/DRG before I go back to partying so I can make and repair my own armor and put materia into it.

Got Culinarian to 32 - Putting this one on hold for now... focus is on ARM for now.

Got Weaver to 12 - on my way to 15 and then I'll take all ofher crafts to 15 before levelling ARM to 50.

Basically I learned how to use Levequests to get crafting power-levelled and I really learned how to use all of the crafting techniques to get HQ synths a lot more often.

I'm a crafting junkie now, so this is why you guys rarely see me on my DRG anymore.

What did you guys do this weekend?

Got up to Garuda (Hard Mode) for my PLD Relic Quest. Havent attempted it yet, but it is supposed to be hard.

Got my Bard up to 44, pretty happy about that. Almost have it as an alternative to bring to events.

And my Goldsmith shot from 20 to 36 already. Loving it.

Been queing over and over for Cutter's Cry because I really like the Crit+5 gear. Almost have it all now. BLM 41 > 44 by mostly just running Cutter's Cry when the DF popped.

Then, I realized my BLM needed Resurrect so I put my quest/fate leveling on hold for a bit. (I stayed Queued for BLM in Cutter's, but was leveling ARC.)

Archanist > 21, almost there!

When I have enough Crit gear to really do some testing I'm going to check out if the loss of INT is made up for by the Crit+ Gear. Generally in past games, it is much better to Crit more often than to do a bit more damage all the time. Most of the Crit gear (accessories) also have Int, so the loss to Int is small. I'm not at all sure what is available with Crit+ at lvl 50.

LNC to 22 for Invigorate, THM to 15 for my own personal amusement.

And oh yeah..

MNK to 50, finished Aurum Vale, Cape Westwind, Castrum Meridianum, and Praetorium. Flagged up the quests to unlock Amdapor Keep and the relic weapon. Finished final MNK quest for the last ability and AF body (tricky fight, that one).

Next up is a few shots of Wanderer's Palace to try and fill in some gear gaps, then Amdapor Keep to finish up GC requirements. Grab that weapon, and get going collecting tomestones for gear.

Next job is either THM or CNJ... haven't decided yet.

Got MIN about 20 minutes from 30 and all HQ gear for under 3K (score!)

Failed multiple attempts at Chimera (thanks to the ZAM and LWDF folks who tried to help despite the back to back wipefest)

Got two Ifrit weapons (one of which I can use in a month or so), despite some connection issues which got me killed a ton... All but one party was successful.

This one seems to be a popular one: Beat Chimeria (Relic quest)..... 3rd group after 4 hours of people working together in a pug. Killed 24 beastman in the chain and now on hydra
Cleared AK 1st attempt while walking away with 4/5 pieces that dropped in the whole run.
Finished GC rank 2 Hunting log.
Farmed CM/PRAE for tomes.

Myself, (cnj), my wife (acn), and our 7 year old son (mar) did Sastasha with a member of our FC (thanks Fluer (arc)). It was awesome and I was very proud of my son. He's still learning his role as tank, but doing a great job. :D

I crafted my Pink High Quality Heavy Darksteel Armor! So stoked to now start finally seriously focusing on getting Castrum Infinity done so I can get a full set (will definitely dye it a different color when I have a full set, but, for now, it is Pink in proud protest of Darklight:)).

Haha, awesome a 7-yr old tank huh? That's great! My daughter is a 8-yr old Archer. Much easier class perhaps. Congrats on the family fun. :)

Shakes My head. You Guys are sick. This game is meant for 13+ .
Children means your FC LS w/e is compromised. I will never understand this point of view.

Why is that?

My son played FFXI with me when he was younger... maybe 10 years old or so...

It all depends on the parent and what they are willing to allow their children to see/hear/play.

My son watched PG-13 rated television shows and movies at that age, so I was fine with him playing FFXI too. My choice as a parent, why should it matter to you if they are fine with their child being exposed to the game at that age.

It's not like there are predators in the game waiting for the opportunity to prey upon an unsuspecting child... They are far more likely to come across danger out in the rest of the internet then in FFXIV. And the content is not that bad... I know there are warnings about alchohol use and sexual references... but I have to be honest, I see a TON more on regular TV networks (not even talking cable here) than what I've seen in the game.

Um, the 13+ age thing is due to some extremely mild in-game animated, bloodless violence and drug references that the kid hopefully doesn't even get.

How are they sick for including their child in the game if the child wants to play with mom and dad?

Boggles the mind man, boggles the mind... apparently they think that the weekend accomplishment thread was a soapbox for this issue that nobody else really thinks is an issue.

Leveled Paladin to 35 and kicked Titan's ***. Also got my Blacksmithing up to level 14. I've never been big into crafting in any game, but this is fun (and addicting).

well...arguments could be made for young children lacking the faculties to handle the addictive nature of games like this but I won't be making those arguments, nor will i be commenting on how someone else should raise their kids.


On topic:

-Ifrit's Harpoon
- Some really good DF AK runs (and only 3 runs away from DRG AF2 helm unless i decide to just keep saving, but man this Hetairos Elmo looks so bogus)
-WVR at 31, GSM almost 30
-Darklight body for DRG - No more Peltast Acton! I really like how i'm seeing noticeable effects on my DPS output as i accumulate ilvl60-70 gear
-Brought out PLD to tank Stone Vigil for a guy in my FC who's been having bad luck with DF - since that dungeon is a cakewalk, we got him the clear easy

Got CNJ from 31 - 34.

Got most crafting from mid teens to 20.

Leveled all DoH classes to 20. In the process I also bumped fishing up to 26 and botany to 23 while gathering materials to craft. It looks like it's going to be more challenging gathering mats for a few of my crafts so the road to all DoH at 25 might not be as quick.

Leveled archer up to 15.

*Completed the Evoker´s Attire set.

*Unlocked Wanderer's Palace, Aurum Vale (I never want to see another Malboro like that again), and Castrum Meridianum.

*Progressed to the final part of the story.
