Ascule's Adventures: October 2014
http://ascule.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Musings about virtual universes and my adventures through MMOs. Wednesday, October 29, 2014. 24x out - Next coil jobs. FFXIV 2.4 is out! New content, Rogue/Ninja and the final coil of Bahamut. Hopefully this does mean that they are also on course to releasing 3.0 next year. I guess that there will be a 2.5 release at some point with more stuff for Crystal Tower before the 3.0 release? I'm under the impressions that there's supposed to be a 3rd CT before the expansion. Tanks: 2 primary, 2 secondary. We do...

Vanh's Sandbox: Adventures in Laptop Hybrid Graphics
http://taruvanh.blogspot.com/2013/08/adventures-in-laptop-hybrid-graphics.html
Sunday, August 4, 2013. Adventures in Laptop Hybrid Graphics. Getting hybrid graphics to work on a laptop isn't the most intuitive thing to do. I found this out the hard way when I tried running FFXIV benchmark on my laptop containing a built-in Intel HD 4000 and a discrete AMD Radeon HD 7730M. When you launch the benchmark, it displays your system specs and for me, it was displaying my Intel HD 4000 instead of my Radeon HD 7730M. There wasn't even an option to select the 7730M, as if it didn't exist.

Ascule's Adventures: Glamours, clearing content and the next grind!
http://ascule.blogspot.com/2014/04/glamours-clearing-content-and-next-grind.html
Musings about virtual universes and my adventures through MMOs. Monday, April 21, 2014. Glamours, clearing content and the next grind! One of the new major changes that the FFXIV 2.2 patch brought was the addition of "glamours", aka the "vanity system" that is common in many different MMOs. This brings out lots of imaginative outfits and gives a good reason for going back to farm lower level dungeons. Ever have that dream where you go fight an angry dragon without pants? Have you seen my skirt? Other con...

Vanh's Sandbox: June 2010
http://taruvanh.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 12, 2010. I was lured back to FFXI by the upcoming June update, which includes: conclusion of WotG nation quests, elimination of CoP level restrictions (to get Ark access to Sea) and level cap increase to 80. Mog Bonanza doesn't hurt either. My to do list:. 1 Get Mog marbles -. Completed. Bought myself 100 marbles and guaranteed myself at least a rank 4 item. 2 Catch up on WotG missions/quest -. 3 Trial of the Magians quest, namely AGI/Evasion Dagger -. My goal is go get myself a Dakini.

Thursday, July 17, 2014. My Thoughts on FFXIV ARR. It's been 10 months since FFXIV ARR was released and it's been a helluva ride; a rollercoaster of emotions, from some amazing, euphoric highs to rage quit, controller smashing, worthy lows. Since the official release of XIV, I hadn’t made a post about it because I’d rather spend my time playing the game than talk about it… but here we are, me talking about it…. What a joke. On paper, I liked these ideas, but in practice they are totally ridiculous in...
