I’ll start off with introducing the thread. This is a new weekly thread which I will create late every Sunday night or early Monday morning. What is the purpose of this thread? To talk about the great things that happened to us in FFXI over the weekend. Everyone post their weekend's most memorable story.
This forum is too full of threads about Gil sellers, possible Gil sellers, bots, possible bots, hacks, possible hacks, IGE, MPK etc etc etc ect. I’m tired of it, and this new weekly thread is my attempt at combating the negative energy that surrounds the forum. If it becomes popular enough – I may introduce it to the main forum. However for now, and a good while, we will remain in the server forums.
Friday night (10/29) I was a member of a truly special party. We began grouping together high ranked well known level 9 players to meet at the Maze of Shakarami. It was our plan that as we reached the Maze we would have all hit 10. The party makeup was as follows.
Bezin BLM/WHM (main job is a 75 monk)
Flippant SMN/WHM (main job is a 72 WHM I believe)
Verto PLD/WAR
Alphire SMN/WHM (main job is a 54 RDM)
Aryana BLM/WHM
Cremonte THF/WAR (main is 37ish WHM)
Ideya BLM/WHM (spelling is wrong – if you read this submit the spelling for your name and I’ll edit)
Yes that’s right – Maze of Shakhrami with 3 BLM’s, 2 SMN’s, Paladin and a Thief. Do not check your adding. This was a 7 person alliance. 7 people who traveled from all sides of the globe.
We found our camp between around 6 or 7 Maze Maker spawn points, and proceeded as a group of 7 – to gain 5 levels of experience in one sitting. Both SMN’s had a pair of astral rings. All members of the group used food. It was what being in a party is supposed to be like. Fun – safe – working like a machine.
The mages obviously nuked, pretty much non stop from a distance. Carbuncle and Shiva did constant attacks, while the Melee’s just did a drive by provoke and then out of spell distance every 15 seconds.
To the members of that party “I’ll never forget that weekend in the maze  “
