What is your favorite/greatest Accomplishment in game?

[Macrom]

I always found it fun to find out what makes you as a player to be proud of what you have done in game.

So i figure i would start this so people can share what there greatest triumph in FFXI has been, or if you have a few list them. Weather it be getting your first job to lvl ?? or getting your craft to level ?? or finally getting that drop off an NM that you have camped for soooooo long.

I have a few that i still look at and make me feel like i did something right lol.

My main accomplishment that i will always smile at is, Getting Maat's Cap, June 2008




Im sure many other have even better, so lets hear them.

[Kimara]

SMN was my first job to 75 and my only job for almost 3 years then I went on to level BST WHM BLM and DNC

The day I got Bahamut's staff was pretty credits roll for me lol, Of course it's obsolete now but when I got it it was the best that their was.
That would probably be my favorite accomplishments.

OH!

And I was the first person across servers to get Soulscourge. That was pretty big for me.

[Rocman]

Getting my O-hat was probally the happiest i ever was on the game. We had a full ally, and we were /random for turns on the drop. I was getting the worst /randoms and took me about 5-6 hours of seeing people come and go before i got mine. I was so happy i felt so tired but accomplished.

Beating Maat for the first time.
Finishing CoP old school.

[annewandering]

Woodworking 100 and woodworking desk. 150k gp. Oh and digging A10. :D
I was so proud of my WW apron and ran all over the place showing it off! lol.

5-6 hours you were lucky. When I got mine I was in a 18/18 alliance we needed 17 hats. We started on a Saturday and didn't finish until Sunday night. :eek:
(to clarify, we disbanded Saturday night and reformed Sunday morning.)

[katoplepa]

it's sound poor goals now, but for that time ... things that make me very satisfied on the game :

-) @75 finished COP mission "first & not nerfed edition" with my static after weeks of epic and tough fights (very proud to do it)

-) @75 first win on Dynamis Lord after 3 years of doin' dynamis run every week with the same group (1/3, great sense of accomplishment)

-) @75 got the one and only Koga Chainmail we ever seen in 1 year of run, winning at lot with other 6 ninja (Ice Dyna in the past, you can seen 1 piece a run.. omg omg omg !!!)

-) @75 first win on Kirin, with a group of person who never fought it before and was first run on Kirin for everybody (3hours fight, died about 5 times everyone^^")

now the game is changed and I'm happy for the change, I like the game now and I think it's good like it is become, but in the past was very very hard to obtain goals, especially with a group of "normal" players and not in an Hnmls, so now someone can laugh about it but that things made me proud and keep me falling in love with this game..

[magnius]

--Beating Maat on RDM(1/9 -.-; )
--Beating AV(@75)
--Beating PW(@75)
--Getting my Ghorn

With Abyssea, everytime I compete a +2 piece of gear(mine or anyone I help)with my WHM and MNK, I think is a good accomplishment.

[Babygyrl]

hm.. this is a tough question lol Hitting my first 75 felt really great (WHM) and ill NEVER forget dinging 75 on thf in the dunes! thank you level sync lol

Beating DL in dyna xarc for the first time at 75 was an awesome feeling after like 6 attempts.

missions im like meh about.. beating those was more like thank god this is over.. lol

recently it was getting my plus +2 thf bod was pretty awesome too

[Harpalina]

Hitting WHM at 75 for the very first time haha. I haven't really accomplished much in my near 7 year run with this game. Getting sky access (when it was hard to get sky access lol) and then sea access (after CoP nerf...boo on me I know).

[Arcon]

- Some NM drops. Peacock Amulet, Trotter Boots, Wilhelm's and Altdorf's Earring, Bloodbead Ring, Spelunker's Hat, Patroclus's Helm, Love Torque and Velocious Belt (which is now in storage) after 8 months on and off camping.
- Beating Absolute Virtue (although I was barely needed in that fight) at level 80.
- Clearing some dynamis zones with ~10 people and getting Dynamis - Tavnazia win.
- Obtaining Shadow items and Valor Cape, one of my longest awaited event drop. Over two years of regular dynamis, raining Duelist's Chapeaus and Assassin's Armlets, never seen this before. Sort of my personal nemesis.
- Finding three Mog-Tablets (when EXP was still worth something).
- Killing death house.

[rog]

Being only the second person to ever solo suzaku.

[Neika]

Dynamis - Tav win, getting deulists chapeau and assassin's armlets in the same run, beating maat for the first time (1/10 on blm...i know, i suck) but i think the part i'm most proud of is all the awesome friends i have made over the years. They are what I miss the most right now.

[Macrom]

i think the part i'm most proud of is all the awesome friends i have made over the years. They are what I miss the most right now.

wow, i think that is one of the best responses ive ever seen, props mate.

[Mezzopiano]

Getting every map. Also, attempting to solo Absolute Virtue.

[Malamasala]

I don't believe in accomplishments. Defeating HNMs are usually just about tossing as many of the current overpowered job as possible. Getting items is completely random. The only thing that even matters if you are skilled or not, is solo acts. And even then it is more about what gears you have than skill.

The only thing that matters is if you have fun.

[Kyrial]

Getting to rank 9, with sky access, and getting every chest/coffer map in the game, with THF61 as my highest job made me feel pretty proud. Then as time went on, getting all the maps in the game. Getting every mission in the game done. And I mean rank 10 all 3 nations, Zilart/CoP done (with Apocalypse Nigh), ToAU done (both the missions, and Captain rank), WotG done (both main story and *all 3* nation storylines done). Captain in particular made me feel proud, as not too many people had it at the time, and it was one of those things I felt I would never actually get, no matter how much I wanted to.

Lately, it tends to just be milestones in my quest count. Like every 50 or so quests. Or things like finishing all the quests in a given area. Or finishing a Magian weapon that's been taking me forever.

[Henihhi]

Honestly the thing i remember most is meeting some great people, killing tons stuff with them, being forced to quit for a year, coming back after they merged our server with another, and seeing those same friends back at it and ready to kill stuff again.

[Kirana]

My personal best accomplishments would be cooking 100, and helping LS members complete Empy's/Relic. Of course, my Twashtar too. So many all-nighters in abyssea.

[Boldheart]

Probably the one of the most time consuming items i recieved is the Panazorium +2 (occ att 2-4 times,22dmg 211 delay) /bah. Gave me an arse kicking to get haha.

[Tim]

I have 2 favorite moments/accomplishments.
1. Getting 5/5 paladin relic and valor cape
2. completing my homam set
(I did both of these at 75)

[Darkpearl]

Nya~ getting good friends.

RDM maat was my first too, i was like 1/9 on it
mine would be dyna tav clear at 75
PW I did that but meh
AV my ls did but i wasnt there for it
and yay relic! see my sig XD
killing blm maat at 70 in 2 spells ( well 3 if you count sleep) got record

[Reimii]

This is probably nothing big but:
- getting my Crimson Cuisses in October 2010 after waiting and working for them for over 3 years of game play through three LSs.
- getting WHM RDM and SCH to 75 without going insane.
- killing Buraks with Freeze back in 2005 for absolutely no reason whatsoever during Brenner.

My one everyday accomplishment:
- keeping everyone alive without going suddenly sadistic and...not keeping them alive? fufufufufufu.

[Kjara]

Lu'Shang without buying a single carp.

[kitykat]

Beating Maat on my first try at level 68 on WHM =)

[Pharaun]

While not my best or most impressive accomplishment the one that I had the most fun with was when I duoed the entire Windy and Sandy mission lines with a friend in a week each.

[Nattack]

Beastmaster Level40 Tails of Woe

Beastmaster Level 60 Celery

dragging Beastmasters in La Vaule, and lowmanning all of these nm's for fun and profit.

[Anucris]

well theres the normal accomplishments but my most recent fun moment was farming seals in abyssea and watching our tank die and everyone panic then I went in as drg and zerged the mob from over half health to death. :) was exciting. 4 drg WS in about 12 seconds.

[Anucris]

also goin to add when I ran a drg LS and we would go out in drg parties and merit. was good times.

[Beowolf]

back 2 back pcc's in under observation runs. fun times. but feeling accomplishment wise was when i would help my buds doing crazy redundent tasks like farming hecteye eyes all around vana~land, and just helping in general, and excepting those challanges that would arrise in the proccess like "oh whats that nm drop?" Gale:"idk lets find out!" (as he rushes in using hundredfists and not wasting any time to formulate a plan to pull the mob safely) :P another happy accomplishment ...getting blm to 75 as a galka and farming all those hard to get spells together with my buds, and that darn sleepga 2 quest >.>

[magnius]

nice list!

Yeah, beating Maat was the only time in the entire 8years I played this game that I actually got up off my chair and cheered. It was such an ordeal because I had to solo farm the testimony. No one helped because they said it would be worth it in the end if I did it myself -- they were right~ I farmed it as RDM/NIN and my gear was terrible -- like TERRIBLE -- so it took forever to kill just ONE magic pot. It took a month and 1m gil for meds. One million gil was a lot of money back then!

Other achievements, I just clapped gleefully.

[Loir]

Running a linkshell thats been around since NA inception, tons of server firsts for fights and NA kills, world first for dyna-qufim, and to any oldschooler of asura, being one of the instigators for the BTD.

[Lithian]

My greatest accomplishment is an ongoing one:

Keeping the meaning of what a true adventurer is alive.


That, and reminding/teaching others what that is, as well as finding and forging some pretty rad bonds with others in the process.

[Ragmar]

Getting all my zone boss wins and caturae wins without leeching off and end game LS. Finishing head/hands/leg/feet +1 for every job of every member of my low man group.

[woie]

divine might after joining 3-4 failed runs this was the first thing i ever tried to organise in this game to put together a pick up group and finally beat this at the time felt pretty epic
captain rank just because had so much fun doing this with my ls
40 min fight soloing my blm af hat on pld/thf just because lol

id love to add to this getting 5/5 on pld relic but even with the new drop rates dynamis still hates me still 3/5 after 5years its all junk now but damn it i want to finish it

Well the way i see it and the hope i have for this thread is, no matter what it is that makes you proud of what you did, it could be something as simple as your first job to lvl 10 or your journey to get your sub job, or the first time you helped someone get there sub job. No matter what makes you proud, its you that did it and its you that makes the game what is it today, if your happy with it thats all the counts.

Thanks for everyone that has posted and i hope many more post in the future New players and Veterans alike, we all make the game and i enjoy it more and more everyday.

[JagerForrester]

I'm somewhat of a fashion guy when it comes to this game. I couldn't get a Barone Corazza to show up on the AH to save my life. So I started collecting the ingredients and found a crafter. I paid him for my appreciation and strut across Whitegate in my new piece.

And for any of you Dragoons who wants to follow the fashion: O-hat, Barone Corazza & Cosciales, and AF Hands and Feet.

[Flunklesnarkin]

I really miss being able to solo / duo stuff on bst charming local mobs..

like soloing aquarius in the boyahda tree

or duoing ancient goobue at lvl 75


took 3 bst to do voluptuous vivian at 75 lol.. she ate like half the zone >_<

[Kyjelly]

@75 6 manned suzy then died due to chainspell managed to recover and got win. funny thing is nearly all abjs hit floor.

yeah rdm maat was crazy back in the day when the game was new to a lot of people.

limited knowalge floating around ( the hidden effects of staffs i did not learn till after a few fails)

[Wade]

Getting my Rank to 10 for the first time was awesome. Getting that Flag and hanging it my mog house gave me a sense of accomplishment. Recently I would say being able to dual box with a friend and beating RJ. I wasn't sure I could keep up with working a DRG and a RDM in the fight, but I managed and we did 9 runs, so that was cool. Didn't get all the scrolls I wanted, but we did get half of them including Ni. I am tempted to take up DRG on Kass and see if 2 Elvaan DRG's with some potions would be enough to beat the BCNM. :D

[Kingofgeeks]

probably my happiest moment was getting Wings of the Goddess done. Either that or ToAU. i don't really remember, see sig... athough sig was a lot more impressive when cap was 75...
