Today marks my 1 year post op #VSG!

What a life changing event and one of the hardest things I've done in my life.

Was it worth it? 1000%. I feel so much better and love my life so much more. I'm still learning the new things I can do that I couldn't before.

HEY! LISTEN!! 🧚

Did y'all know there's a "Tree" style comment thread option on Bluesky?

I've been using it for a month and it makes the overall threads of comments and replies MUCH cleaner and more organized!

It's something I haven't mentioned yet, but I just wanted to spread the word! ✌️

Toner Cartridge Replacement for Canon 045H -17% ($59.99) Was: $71.99 (The joke here is the toner cartridges look a lot like RAM sticks.)

Secret 12th question!

FFXI taught me at a young age how to properly interact with people and that respect is earned, not given. It really helped me be more kind and courteous in my adult age, even if I was a little shit 😎

Happy #FFXIDaysOfStarlight everyone!

What's this, a secret 12th question?! After seeing people answering the questions from last year, I couldn't help myself.

So... What lessons has FFXI taught you? Has it changed the way you look at things?

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.
The Salvation Army is not a charity. They are an evangelical church that uses donated money to actively oppress gay rights. They've been especially cruel to trans people.

As a newer player, I don't know half of the things people talk about in FFXI, especially what a DD is and what DT means when setting up my gear.
So I thought I'd make a small graphic for just a few terms I felt were important/used often enough for new people like me to use as reference!
BCNM - Burning Circle Notorious Monster "A burning circle, here?!" - Alxaal In FFXIV terms, these would be most similar to your trial fights. It places you and your party members into an instanced zone to fight an enemy; buffs will typically wear on entry, but some can be outliers. HTMB - High-Tier Mission Battlefield If BCNMs are your trial fights, these are your Extreme versions. These use a KI to get in, which can be bought for varying amounts of Merits. Most of the gear has been outstripped these days, but it's still neat to get some for lockstyle or the experience! These come in varying difficulties that will be explained later here. If you clear on the highest difficulty, you can get a title specific to that boss! Occasionally, events will run where you're able to get special items from these (looking at all of you, people that joined from San d'Oria The Second Walk). The POL website will announce these. ilvl - Item Level Like in FFXIV, there's a level for your gear to denote how strong it is. Since FFXI stopped player progression past level 99, it's the gear that strengthens people beyond the threshold. If gear has <119> in the lower right corner of the box, it's considered 'ilvl gear' and is 'current', as in 'added in the last five years'. Often contested as a term because some gear will rocket players past the 119 mark, even when not written. DIFFICULTY LEVELS This applies to content like Ambuscade and HTMBs, and uses item levelto show how much trouble the fight ahead will be. (Note that these are NOT indicative of damage because some will push your shit in even on VE, looking at you in particular Kammy.) VE - Very Easy - 113 E - Easy - 116 N - Normal - 119 D - Difficult - 119+ VD - Very Difficult - 119+ KI - Key Item Exactly as it says on the tin. There's a special inventory just for these, so they won't take up space in your main bags thankfully. There's temporary key items that will be consumed on use, often items used to get into specific battles. Some of these have humorous descriptions, so don't be afraid to take your time and read through them if you get the chance! AH - Auction House If you're familiar with FFXIV, this is the market board. It works a bit differently though, where you put up how much you'd pay for an item, and if someone listed it for that amount or less, you buy it! You can lowball something and occasionally get LUCKY. Could also mean 'FFXIAH', a website where you can check player bazaars across the server you're on as well as what an item recently sold for. LP - Limit Points Points accumulated after you hit level 75, or whatever your level cap would be. Rather than EXP, you begin gaining Limit Points. If you gain 10,000 Limit Points, you get a single Merit Point! Merits - Merit Points These can be used to strengthen your character further, with your first cap being 45. This can ALSO be raised, up to holding 75 merit points that can be used on battlefield orbs! CP - Capacity Points The next level after you get to 99. You begin to accumulate CP as you kill monsters around your level. When you hit 30,000 CP, you gain a Job Point. JP - Job Points Every 30,000 CP you get a JP, which is the pinnacle of strengthening your job's specific qualities. These are gained per-job, unlike Limit Points that can be obtained across all your jobs. As you use JP for attribute increases, you gain Gifts that will overall improve things like your damage, how many CP you earn, and other more job-specific things like wyvern stats. When you hit 2,100 JP, you become a job master and can get those little stars above your head! DT - Damage Taken If you hear someone talk about 'DT sets' or 'DT gear', they're talking about gear that keeps you alive! There's PDT (physical damage taken) and MDT (magical damage taken). This doesn't include MTDT (mental damage taken from yell chat). (Jokingly) DD - Damage Dealer While 'tank' and 'healer' are still the main terms used in FFXI for those specific jobs, rather than calling something like a Dragoon a DPS, they're called a DD. 2HR - Two Hour Ability In FFXI, all jobs have an ability specific to them that has a crispy full 2 hour cooldown in real life. Be careful on misclicking it; it's not something to worry about when you're going through for story, but it can mean life or death in a particularly hard fight sometimes. LB - Limit Break quests A set of quests starting at level 75 that will allow your character to get to level 99. Happens every 5 levels; get used to saying hi to Maat and the moogle! TP - Tactical Points 1,000 of these and you can execute a Weapon Skill! WS - Weapon Skill In the early game, it's best to think of these as a Limit Break from the Final Fantasy franchise as a whole. As you level up and gain new abilities, you're be able to use these MUCH faster. SC - Skillchain When two Weapon Skills used in succession are appropriate and used at the right time, a Skillchain is activated. This can go MUCH further in-depth, but there's online charts dedicated to telling you how to make specific SCs depending on your WS you have available. Or you could just not bother with these and spam Savage Blade, which is not very advisable. Fudo - Tachi: Fudo A Great Katana weapon skill. Used for cheese. Naegling Weapon used to make cheese out of Savage Blade. Savage Blade Also used for cheese. Mostly memes with these last few, but you'll see people talking about them sometimes so I thought it'd be good to add them! Lockstyle If you're familiar with XIV, this is your glamour system! Rather than having a glamour chest and plates, you have up to 200 sets! These share slots with gear sets though, so balance is key when you begin to make gear sets for playing the game (which I'll admit is terrifying). Which means, technically, you have 200 glamour plates with no restrictions on use in any zone AND no restriction on the type of gear you can use for your appearance!. My own lockstyle is a mashup of both melee, ranged, and caster gear because I think it looks cool all together! As long as you have a job leveled that can equip it, it can be used as lockstyle/glamour on any other gear piece! The major snag for lockstyle is weapon types; you can't lock some types of weapon over others. If you want a sword on a spear, for instance, it'll flag an error at you. Just something to keep an eye on! Also known as the TRUE end game of FFXI. Go forth and make your mark on the fashion world!
