Who is Gorgonzolacheez
I'm Gorgonzolacheez, Chief Meat Shield for the LethalCheez LS! I play with a small group of friends on the Carbuncle Server, and have been playing Final Fantasy for quite a long time. As you can tell from the level spread I have, I am a pretty casual gamer, but I'm still having lots of fun playing FFXI! Hope to see you in game!

As a side note, I'd like to say a special thanks to Turelio and Kalisa, who allowed me to shamelessly steal code from them to create my own character wiki. You were very helpful, and I appreciate it very much!

LethalCheez
The LethalCheez Linkshell consists of a small group of people that know each other IRL. We are a closed static shell that primarily plays on Wednesday evenings (Pacific timezone)

It was originally conceived by Chilicheez as a way for us to all get together, have fun, and stay in touch as we moved to different areas. The idea for character creation requirements came from the "Beanz" of FFXI video fame, though the requirement for us was that the word Cheez ended up in your name. Later, as the shell saw members leave the game or move on, we invited others we knew IRL to join us without requiring the Cheez name, as it was too time consuming to expect users to create a new character with specific naming requirements and also expect them to try and catch up with us.

The group has changed a bit over the last few years, but the current members are as follows:

Current Members: Cheezwhiz Shaftaru
 * Chilicheez
 * Creamcheez
 * Gorgonzolacheez

Past members: Firecheez Headcheez Themessiah
 * Nachocheez
 * Fetacheez

Job Levels
I am most definitely a dabbler, now that I have everything unlocked. That has been much more of a pain than I thought it would be. If I had it back to do over again, its likely I would have taken one of the standard jobs to 75 before I ever even looked at unlocking one of the jobs from the expansions. But, what's done is done, and my job breakout looks something like this: The current goal is taking Paladin to 75

Crafting
I've stalled on my crafting lately, mostly because of trying to get Paladin ground up to the 38-40 area and farming items for Promyvion. I really want us to gain access to Tavnazia soon, so we've been fighting like mad in Promyvions to get the Recollections farmed for Anima and then a 2nd set of Recollections for backup. At least if we die and have used the Anima, we can quickly have more made and get right back out there. And if we win? Well, then we're ready!

So, I had a lofty goal of getting all the crafts to 60 then cooking to 100+2, but I've not had time to get back to it. At least with the server prices falling the way they are, I'll have a chance to get back into it soon :)

Currently at:

Cooking 62 Alchemy 19 Woodworking 8 Clothcraft 5

Other Characters
I have one other character that is on hiatus in Carbuncle, named Gidgit. I've never unlocked any of the advanced jobs with her, since I accomplished that with Gorgonzolacheez. At this point she is a mule with 80 spaces in a Mog Safe and cooking leveled to 60 ; ;

Most recently, I started a new character on the Caitsith server named Garibaldi. I have a lot of friends and former co-workers that happen to play on that server, so I decided to create a character there to stay in touch with them. I'm also using this character to evaluate the potential of the server, and if things look better there, I may ask the LethalCheez LS about the possibility of moving to Caitsith once migrations are allowed.

Missions
When you level as slowly as I do, the storyline can be a bit more difficult to follow ; ;

However, we've started doing some CoP things, and its really starting to get me back into the story this game has to offer. To date, the missions I have completed are as follows:

Windurst: Rank 5 Windurst Mission: Magicite Chains of Promathia: Below the Arks Treasures of Aht Urghan:

Quests
