Back to Vana'diel

So, I'm back in Vana'diel, and it only seemed appropriate that I should have a new blog to suit the new start. For reference, I started playing about four years ago, played for about a year, quit and started all over again on a new character. I'd love to say that's the last time that happened, but of course I came back on another account last year because I lost my security token.

Lucky for me, I have a better half who found it for me, so my other account is cancelled and I'm back on Narachan, one of my old characters but certainly not my oldest. And I'm here to stay!

Sadly this entry isn't so pretty and doesn't have any nice screenshots on it, but bear with me! I will be updating with screenshots along my adventures. So far what I have achieved in the last week is getting my WAR to 30, farming my Kazham keys (still need to hand those in and get the pass, though...), fished some like a good little Mithra, unlocked DNC and BRD (the latter purely because it's the easiest quest ever, I'm lazy!) and managed to convince Trisk, my fiancé offline, to resubscribe and join me.

Last night, after he had successfully shipped me down the little canal in Palborough Mines and got me locked behind a one-way gate -- neither of us knew it was one-way! -- he convinced me to keep going and keep farming keys and we got the key after the third or fourth kill. All in all the actual farming took me about 45 minutes for all three together, but there was a lot of running around involved too! After that he switched out to his WAR and started levelling with me on my DNC. It was fun!

If I play tonight, it will probably just be to fish and relax, as things offline have been a bit stressful and fishing has always been a good way to unwind!
