Description
I proudly present you: Dreirael, Elvaan Paladin from Final Fantasy 11...This was my very first attempt ever to create a figure from scratch. Too bad I lost inspiration. I started it a few years ago when Square Enix had not made any news of level cap increase, thus I have "old" gear on him that's relevant and good at level 75 cap. I have been wondering and that's probably the main reason I never finished this. Today's FFXI world level 75 is like old days level 50, and soon the game reaches level 99! If what I said doesn't make any sense, too bad! lol;
What I can remember him having on in this:
Head: Koenig Schaller
Body: Ares's Cuirass (yes name is written like that!)
Hands: Homam Manopolas
Legs: Homam Cosciales
Feet: Gallant Leggings (+1!!!)
Weapon: Joyeuse
Shield: Koenig Shield
Figure is still missing spiky shoulder pads. And of course the obvious paint. I even have all the colors bought necessary for this but still it's so hard to finish.. *sigh*
It has steelwire inside (can see part in the shield coming out) to strengthen the weight of the material I used. The white plastic material was a poor choice from me since I didn't really know exactly what I was supposed to get. It's this stuff you literally bake in the oven in low temperature. It's too hard to sculpt afterward and still fragile enough for me to break it very easily despite the description on the package. And no, it's not the material we mostly see being all happy colors that people easily make stuff out of '-';;;;; The sword broke from 2 points in the box I had it secured. No clue how that happened.
For preference on the 3D shapes, I used AltanaViewer. Easiest to use since I have the game installed which gives me access to all those files ohhohhoh.
Krhm.. FEAR THE TEA CUP!

Thanks
with lots of patience to look at 3D model in your display and understanding the shapes to work with and put the clay under your fingers into the same shapes with proper tools and lighting

GOD he had nice gear D: I wish you could finish it, it looks so good! Even some of the 'old gear' can still be good! and it'd be pretty regardless! <3 I hope you find inspiration to finish this one day : ) I still play 11 XD I totally understand what you're talking about since I've been playing since the cap was 50 too

I still play aswell 
If a miracle happens for this, I might do it. Currently I can't see it happen.. but I've been wrong before too when I read my future >XD

Oh god yes! I love playing an Elvaan PLD XD I was always such a beast at it, I was one of the best in my server before I lost that character D: never got it to 75.. -crycry- I play a tarutaru now, and she's stuck on whm all the time D: (I'm lame and have two characters on one account that are 95 with capped skills haha the other is an elvaan mnk) I never liked CoP, I didn't get very far in it, but you're right, its all Aby stuff now XD What server do you play on? I'm on Bahamut : )
It might! they can happen! I'll be looking forward to seeing it finished : )

I was on Hades until we got tossed to Cerberus >:I The idea of having two characters is to have them on separate accounts!

That is awesome! I am having another artist here making a wedding cake topper of our FFXI characters (elvaan and Mithra). Can't wait to see how yours is developing!

Oh wow, a wedding cape topper?

Yep. It's taking awhile though, but it's what we want since my fiance' and I went to college together and met through FFXI. Keep working on the figurine... there isn't a lot of FFXI ones out there.

Aw that was my favorite gear set on plds ; ; Even now I think it looks better than the emp armor or whatever else they're wearing... I dunno when I had to quit there weren't many plds around anymore and my boyfriend was still running around in his homam pants XD
That Ares armor... oh lawd my drg lusted after that so hard D=
I think it would be great to finish this someday. Its already looking awesome and has so much potential~ A fitting tribute to the good old days!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Maybe, just mmm... maybe I'll finish this one beautiful day ><; And yes, Ares body is hot looking piece of gear 
TRIBUTE TO THE OLD GOOD (grinding) DAYS!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
hahaha yeah I remember the days of walking around in Whitegate and every job looked the same XD I was really happy when they made the emp gear so good people would actually wear it. Suddenly there were more jobs in the world!
That Twilight Mail eluded me for so long we got my entire LS daggers before one dropped... and I was out-lotted @_@; I almost started to make Ares just because I was mad at Shinryu XD And then I had to quit 'cause my bank account was sad :<
When I get back though even Twilight gear will probably be replaced XD
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
You've had the worst luck of them all. Murphy's Law! But still that would be easier to get than Ares? Considering the drop rates of 35 and 25 pieces. Unless SE changed the droprates a lot from the old times. When's our Augmented Salvage gear coming?!? Huh? *stares at Square Enix*
I've done Shinryu fight 2 times myself, and 3rd time I just leeched loot outside the battlefield. Dagger and neck piece all mine... lulz. The highlight of Twilight set really is the auto-reraise '-'; Would be so awesome for my jobs. Especially DRG and BST
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I dunno, they did something to Salvage a little bit after Abyssea took off but I'm not sure what all the details were. Never did much of Salvage myself.
I hear they're making +3 for relic gear now. From what I understand it's actually supposed to be pretty decent upgrades, but I think people want Salvage/Limbus upgrades more @_@ Especially with the cap finally hitting 99.
Just me but I'd like to see them put out a full new expansion than rehashing old gear over and over @_@; It seems that every update makes most of the gear from the previous update obsolete anyway XD
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I'd say "Obsolete" is one of the SE's favorite words right below "PS2 limitations". Relics will be "NQ" after the upgrades though. No shiny white boxes! They could continue limbus and salvage same way the continue voidwatch. Totally new expansion would be so nice. And more finished at the beginning than Wings of the Goddess. How long did it take for them to finish it? Gruh!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Haha poor PS2... I started on that but lawd I will never go back XD It can barely handle the updates now lol.
WotG did take abnormally long for them to finish it... ToAU was split into parts too I think but not nearly as bad. I'd like a new expansion like that, with new areas and everything. There's so much more to the map they haven't released yet, like where Tenzen is from and the Mithra home land :< They could totally leech off CoP's story, there's half the work done right there! C'mon SE~

FFXI needs male mithras already! And additionally needs also old woman characters to play as! Oh god I would have so made a kick ass granny >:I
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I know! FFXIV is adding male Miqo'te (Mithra) to their big update next year and I'm like "...well that's awesome, but why was Lehko the only male cat in XI!" I so would have been a manthra. And I know a few of my friends would have made some scythe-wielding old ladies... we would have been an awesome group running around brewing every NM in Abyssea at once >:T
Come one SE, time for some newer new content!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
inb4 "PS2 limitations", with the recent survey of what platforms people use to play the game, I so hope SE will drop support for PS2 D:
Yeah imagine a granny doing super combat moves having her back bend like olde witch and so on? Oh gawd awesome. Male Mithra would have been very nice too. FFXI has potential still left so much, and can only hope SE will "wake up" more than just mini expansions and level cap increase.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I remain optimistic that once they drop PS2 support they'll have more room to expand. I can only imagine that most people on "PS2" are actually on PS3 anyway... they could re-release a PS3 compatible version, but even if not I can't see them losing so many players that they would have to keep it.
Either way it needs to be done if they want to keep the game alive =/ I'd love to see another Sky or Sea style endgame. Something to bring people together in large groups for more than a day.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
As in super low drop rates like Dring, salvage 35 pieces, Ks99 drops, ect.? And super hard mobs like AV and PW at lv 75 with bloodweapon nerf? 
I think I hear people say JPs are madmen with PS2 thus it's hard for SE to drop it off, I has no clue
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
hahaha yes! I sorta like when a mob can beat down 18+ people when it gets bored XD Keeps life interesting! But yeah they would have to be major upgrades, not marginally better or novelty goodies like some of the sky/sea gear.
Voidwatch was a great idea and the mobs are neat, but ohmygod the drops ._. You may get a super rare and awesome piece of gear, but 90% of the time it will be for a job you never intend to play and you can't pass it to anyone ><;
My boyfriend is trying to upgrade his Ukon and it's just painful to watch @_@
You would think they've learned from all the past endgame right? Right? D=
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yeah, treasure distribution is the worst part of Voidwatch.. I know one in my ls has gotten Voidwrought body 3 times lol; That's just not right in so many levels.. Then I play again for first time in 2 months, I have no key items ect. and I get Heka's body from Akvan 1/1 
Empys up to 85 aren't hard. Just time consuming depending if you have pocket whms or not ^^ 90 is easy too if you have enough cruor to brew certain mobs ^^
I think SE wanted stuff to be like old engame, well, HNMs are basically bai bai but I recall something about new ones being introduced.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Pretty much the same reasons I dumped RDM, and I looooooooved RDM D= But it got to the point where it was just a glorified WHM and that's all I was taking to events. I has DRG too, sometimes I wanna poke things ; ;
He has Ukon finished up to 90 I believe. He's collecting items from Voidwatch or something now. I don't know, every time he talks about it he grumbles and wanders away XD I think all the Voidwatch needs is a little tweaking to make the item distribution like FFXIV's. Everyone has their own loot pool but items can be transferred to another person's loot.
I really like the pop system they added for HNMs so I hope they keep at least something like that if they add more.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Empy stage 95 needs 1,500 heavy metal plates, and last time I did voidwatch, I got 3 off 4 mobs. And on my server they sell 100k each. So, probably that's the reason. And if what you say about 14, that loot distribution is very nice
DoRG! I love it! Too bad the empy is a major letdown ._.; Drakesbane wins the situation 99% of the time, and even with the aftermath from 300%tp, capped haste, I don't hit often enough to make up to the 3x drakesbane I could have done with the tp instead *rage*
What it comes to ground kings, 99KS > hope for pop item > pop the NQ > rarely see HQ pop > even rarer to see Black Belt item. Wheeeeen it was 100% drop off the HQ on a timed pop. Nu-uh D: Not better! My friend got 2 BB items just off the HQs (and very fast) since like.. the hard core MNKs only camped them for the belt. "Oh hey I got Koenig body.. lessee if I can augment it to be something useful, oh physical damage taken-4%. This works for idle gear on my WAR!" I wish I had had the energy to camp the HQs for BB
iRant XD

Hahaha omg those 'oops...' moments are the best. That's one of the things I liked about VW the most when it first came out, plenty of lols worthy wipes and RDMs trying to hero-kite around rocks XD Live and learn!
Once RDM started to drop out of the healer bracket I pretty much raced back to it lol. I had a lot of catching up to do but once I started getting my gear done I was a beast again >
I was rather disappointed with the emp lance ._. it looked nice but... I'd rather make Gungnir or Ryunohige if I'm gonna put that much effort into something @_@ Even with Gungnir you'd still spam Drakesbane but... its freaking Gungnir XD I already completed stage 1 just as an extra bonus for leading a couple Dyna runs for my shell, but I was like the last on the list for completed relic so I knew it wasn't gonna happen before Dyna fell apart XD Ah well~
HNMs were *insanely* monopolized on our server, if you weren't in one of two major HNMLS or know anyone in them you didn't get a BB ><; It only got worse during the merge and we got a shell from Remora who bot-claimed even our top LS right out of the game ; ; The only one we've had a problem with so far is the egg, since we botched a couple KS99 runs 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Ouch, Harsh servers I see 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yeah it was pretty rough when it came to kings and such @_@; If you were really lucky you could show up to whatever HNM you needed a drop from and talk to the non-bot shell about buying it... but that's no fun ; ; And if it doesn't drop well you just wasted like 4 hours waiting for pop and bidding on the item, and you didn't even get to fight the damn thing >: (
Holy crap those new WS are amazing! I was impressed that SE actually made NEW animations and everything, RNG was still kinda meh but I suppose there's not much you can do with a bow XD (Blast Arrow was cool but it was short range soooooo pointless lol) I just about died when I saw the lance WS!
I wanted to make an Ochain when I saw a PLD solo Bukhis(?) XD I don't even have it leveled! If I had to pick one I honestly don't know. I jump jobs so much I'd want them all the have a nice toy :< Plus I think about all the moogle trials and my social life goes "nooooooooooooooooooooooo!" XD
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yup, reasons I hate camping x'D All the wasted time if you lose claim and even then you have a chance to get ninja lotted or so. With the new WSes, I keep reading the mods aren't that powerful at 5/5 merits on test server. I wonder how things will end up with real update 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Ah yeah I've been hearing more and more "meh" things about the new WSes. I'm hoping you won't have to completely max one out in order to make it worth the trouble. Such a shame, they finally did really well animating new weapons skills and they forgot to make them do decent damage :< c'est la vie~
I started, and gave up, on many many moogle trials XD I think right now I have about 4 unfinished weapons laying around in various storages... They seemed grat at first! But after waiting 12 hours for fire weather and slaughtering 500 puktraps with Impulse Drive... I just.... I quit
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Since Camlann's Torment sucks so bad, I'm so gonna 5/5 the lance WS 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Fire weather is just... you'd think it would be fire weather all the time INSIDE A VOLCANO D= I think I was last working on some daggers for DNC, evasion and the TP bonus dagger for shits and giggles. Those were fairly easy, just boring lol.
I can't wait to get my account back so I can play with all the new toys. Just one more bill to pay off and I'm free! XD And I've got a boyfriend with a fancy hammer-axe who just loves to cleave
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
fire weather? in volcano? That's outta SE's logic
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
We had a good laugh when he finally got the axe done and went out to test it. His first WS hit for 5k on some poor crab and everyone was like "Who is this Ukko and why is he so furious!" I didn't know it was based off of an actual Ukko hahaha XD That's awesome.
Thanks! Someone's gotta fuel my MMO addiction
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Here's wiki pages for you about Ukko <3 [link] HEAR HIM ROAR! ..or do other stuff
If I remember correctly, I missed first Camlann's Torment on a mob outside Jeuno. Wasn't even funny. 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
omg I feel your pain... I missed 3 hits of my first Drakesbane on a mob in Nyzul D= Was horrible, I still haven't lived it down ; ; I mean, how does that even happen! SE loves to troll :<
The new WS looks sooooo fun, I can just see myself giggling like a little kid on a sugar high every time I use it XD I've always said we need more Jump!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
SE is the biggest troll there is 
Lessee what the game brings us at lv 99 o_o; I don't want to expect too much, since I know then I'd just be disappointed. Rawrz! Before the 99, gotta battle to it. Lessee how it goes X)
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Hahaha there was never a time that emote was more appropriate.
I'm holding out hope they'll adjust this Voidwatch nonsense. Either the drop rates or the amount of items needed... and add in loot transfer. I think that would better hold the endgame community's attention than just adding levels and rehashing old gear. At least until they get their heads out of their butts and make a new full expansion @_@;
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Didn't SE mention in the official forums that the loot system for voidwatch remains unchanged? @@; Can hope for the best. FF14 already has a loot transfer so.. why not make same for 11? You know, boosting old gear makes a lot of sense. Since I've spent around 3 years in limbus, trying to get everyone what they wanted, and with level cap increase that shit's pretty useless. I felt very pissed off and I so hope the old gear are going to be at least somewhat equal or situatinal to new lv 99 gear that we get tossed at our face
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
This is true. The Homam set looks so nice, was a shame to see it literally disappear over night. I hope they get decent stats, though with all the new gear that will get released with the update and the relic upgrades it's hard to know what pieces will be useful to what jobs. Homam feet may get a great upgrade but relic+2 might still be better... which breaks my heart because I still use Homam feet in my Restoring Breath macro :< I haven't played since well before 95 cap though...
They probably should have released more upgrades and let the completely new gear trickle in slowly. So all those years of hard work weren't outdated in less than 24 hours =/ That's why I hated abyssea so much at first... spent so many hours in sky/sea/limbus/dynamis and I replaced what little gear I got in literally a week...
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Thus I don't play much until 99 cap comes and we'll see wtf it brings to us! But situational gear is nice still, for example pet jobs BST and SMN, and possibly PUP, look at the relic stats, they're still very useful compared to AF3+2s 
The moment I heard DRG wyvern gets healing breath IV I basically wet my pants >:I If I can boost 600hp healing breaths with III, I can only imagine what IV does
