Battle Summary
I forgot to use the Blink Band. I also didn't end up using Sentinal, Rampart, Shield Bash or Holy. Looking back I realize I made a number of mistakes. Two of my Swift Blades did not hit. I have no idea why the first one, after using all those sleeping potions, didn't work. Though the other missed one was during Maat's Invincible which I totally didn't see in the log. Goes to show you how focused I was on everything else.

Chocobo Raising
The addition of Chocobo Raising was super exciting. Having the option of calling a chocobo from just about anywhere to safely ride through aggro areas still is one of the greatest things in the game. While I'm not the best Chocobo breeder, I'm doing what I can to get a RED one, and learning proper raising techniques as I go.

The June 2007 update finally provided Chocobo breeders with somethings we've needed for a LOOOOOOOONG time! First is an option to skip the cut scenes, wonderful for those of us who occasionally neglect our birds or were away. Second is an option to provide more than one piece of feed at a time.

FYI Lost Chick is the name of the lost chocobo quest that I always forget and take forever to look up.

Gallant Hope
GH was my first chocobo. She was born a few months after Chocobo Raising was added to the game. While I tried to treat her well eventually neglect set in thus I had to sit through 30+ minutes of chocobo update cutscenes one afternoon. /sigh At least I finally had a chocobo to call in the wild. She was slow, but did her job well of keeping me safe in scary areas.

Lessons Learned
As one spends time in Vana'diel, you can learn quite a number of things of use and maybe not so much. Here are a few things I have learned in my travels.


 * Status of a BCNM orb: Every wonder if that orb in your inventory is cracked or still good? Trade it to Shami in Port Jeuno. If it's cracked he'll take it. If it's still good he'll remind you where you can use it. (Tested: 11-27-05)
 * Blazing Peppers: Used in the quest Let Sleeping Dogs Lie. These babies can be purchased at the AH, but if you want to save some gil head up to (E-5) of Pashhow Marshlands. Trade your sickle to a ??? and you may harvest up some Blazing Peppers.

Special Acknowledgments
My occasional quests for furnishings and other special items require the services of skilled crafters. I would like to thank anyone who has ever made anything for me. The following is no where near a full list, but it's a start.


 * Xyjah: Red Hobby Bo, a new chocobo rocking horse furnishing.
 * Heimdall: Palmer's Bangles, Gilfinder enchantement
