Treasures of Aht Urhgan

Well, as Unatron5000 would have said, "I've done it! 10011010110." My adventures in Vana'diel yesterday led me to the Near East!

First, I had to gather 6 items, all rare drops from monsters, normally required for two seperate subjob quests. Some took longer to drop than others, but with the help of Kaimoria, one of the best mithra ever (thanks so much!), I was able to gather them all in a short amount of time. What you see here is the Sea Horror terrorizing the ship to Mhaura, and a mithra monk laying into it with asuran fists!



When turning in the items, I decided to take a random screenshot of a mithra red mage, only to have her wave at me as I snapped the photo! As it turns out, this mithra, called Paintedclouds, hangs around my linkshell every so often, CelestialKnights. We chatted for a bit, then parted ways. At the port of Mhaura, we bumped into one another again, and decided to explore the expansion areas together with a friend of hers. The sights were...beautiful. I was awe-struck the whole time, and snapped a million photos. I'm only allowed five at a time, so here are some landmarks:





I never ventured outside of the city for fear of my life, but I'll have to when I complete the quests for the newest jobs available. I'm very excited to try Corsair out, the pirate/gambler of Final Fantasy XI. I can't wait to see more of Aht Urhgan!
