What's a Morwyne?
Morwyne is a character on Lakshmi sever that has been in existence since November 19, 2004. It is the recreation of a character previously found on the Fairy server under the name 'Namarie', both beginning as Elvaan female Warrior allied with the nation of San d'Oria. The person driving Morwyne is an interesting character herself (hi). I spend my time on Morwyne mostly exploring new jobs and new ways of playing her current ones, camping little random NMs I haven't gotten around to, but mostly just using the game as another tool to stay in touch with my long-distance boyfriend, 'Shurikenger' &hearts; &hearts; &hearts; and other real-life friends who got me interested in FFXI.

Job Levels
I started out as a sword and board Warrior on her way to unlocking Paladin. I tanked for 75 levels to discover that my real passion was not for swinging a sword, but for magic. Being Elvaan has never once held me back, and I've achieved a lot since finding my niche. Now that I've run out of mage jobs to level, I'm looking at what I can do as a melee DD. I'm not necessarily after Maat's Cap or anything like that - I just have some sort of ADD that makes me go crazy if I can't do something different every day. No matter how many jobs I level, though, White Mage will always be my #1 favorite.

Mission Status
Once in a while, I like to take a break from grinding XP and do some missions. I absolutely love the story lines and how different things like AF quests, rank missions, avatar battles, etc. all tie into each other. One of the most memorable experiences for me in playing this game was my CoP static. We broke the record on almost all of the BC fights and fought our way to Sea amongst the earliest groups on the server to achieve that goal. It was such a fun time, I almost wish I could go back and do it over again (then I think about the endless barrage of cutscenes across all of Vana'diel and am glad it's done :P).

San d'Oria: Rank 10 Windurst: Rank 10 Bastok: Rank 10 Rise of the Zilart: Complete Chains of Promathia: Complete Treasures of Aht Urhgan: Complete

Divine Might: Complete Storms of Fate: Complete Apocalypse Nigh: Complete

Crafting
I fail at crafting - I seriously do. I've genuinely tried it several times over the past several years, starting with the cheap and easy Cooking and moving on to different things, but due to inventory space and patience I always end up throwing in the towel. My strategy now is just to make as many crafter friends as possible ^^;

Endgame
There aren't many Impossible to Gauge! mobs that I haven't helped kill. Aside from a couple of unsuccessful attempts at Bahamut (version 2), I have amassed quite a collection of titles to be proud of thanks to being in decent endgame linkshells since venturing onto that scene when I finsished leveling WHM. Unfortunately, the honeymoon is over, and there isn't much of a place for me in Lakshmi's endgame anymore.

I'll list my AF2 for my own organizational purpose. Maybe someday I'll figure out how to make a nice looking table for it.

Merit Points
With so many jobs leveled it's very difficult for me to decide how to prioritize my merits. I've gotten a fair number of merit points, but it doesn't seem like many when I start plugging them into the different categories. Here's a projection of what I'm going for and how far I've gotten:

As you can see, I still have a looooong way to go ^^;
