Your Travel Journal from Collector's Edition

[Fiosha_Maureiba]

Have you written in it?

Did you outline the drawings to see what you're really looking at?

Make names of potential crafters from launch to keep tabs on their progress? Then eventually go back and finds them with an invite to a linkshell you're in?

Wonder why the contents of your artbook are upside down?

Make a handwritten list of all the recipes you learned?

Coordinates of places you gather from and what you get from those nodes?

Forgot that you had it?

Didn't get one?

Left it blank, because it was too delicious to ever use, so it can't be used?

I have sketches in mine ^^

[Luluna]

lol

I forgot i had one until i read this >.<

I thought about the sketches. But after a while, it just became my fancy cookbook of experimentations:

Page 8 equivalent:
Steamed Burger. Bring water to boil. Dump patty into water. Waited 13 minutes. Bring it out. Why is it so juicy and slimy? MMM this is delicious! Now that I think about it's slightly different from cooked in skillet. Try marinating burger in teriyaki sauce before boiling next time.

Someone baked his broken GTX285 after two manufacteurer replacements. Now he says it works. I wonder if I should bake this out of warranty 9800GTX? Maybe I'll try when I move out next month.

Pretty much that, I haven't found a use worthy enough for it yet. ^_^

The first month of the game I used it to compare recipes for lvling GSM, now I use it for work, haha!

I'm waiting for the day someone sees it and says "OH! You play XIV!?!" - Let the good times roll.

Dear Travel Journal,

Guess who I have a crush on? .....

(the rest is personal)

[MagicofGaia]

thought it was neat, forgot I had it, thought about writing in it, quit playing the game cause Tanaka screwed us, forgot I had it again, started playing again, found the journal again, thought about writing in it.. again, the servers went down... yea, that's about it.

I love the journal! I am halfway through so I use it more sparingly now. I am interested to hear others creative uses for it. For me though, some quick examples off head:

Started off with day by day overdramaticisms on my battle endeavors
Day 1: "the road to victory is paved with wharf rabbit blood!"
and do's and don'ts guides for my classes, so I could share my wisdom one day
Dos and Donts of being a Pugilist:
Do: punch things in the face
Don't: stop punching them in the face

then i started writing down crafters and NPCs of interest, and leves to avoid like the plague, and good craft recipes
somehow then evolved into a quote book
"whats life if you never pull down your shorts and slide on the ice!"
"it's not whether you win or loose, as long as you come in first"

now I kinda just doodle players and cool looking gear I see, and write random things that cross my mind, since most helpful game knowledge is burned into my memories eye

i forgot i had it until about 2 months ago, started using it for crafting, no real order to the pages though, just random recipes with how/where to obtain some mats.
