Two is better than one (Most of the time)

Once upon a time, and by that I mean 4 months ago, a good friend of mine with a character named "Exodusamphi" decided it was time to bid this game adieu. Originally, he was going to liquidate his character and give me the stuff, but realizing how long of a process this would be, he simply gave me the ID and PW. I changed the billing info, took some useful gear off him, and never really used the character again.

I had always wanted to set up two computers to "Dual-box" our toons, but my lack of RL funds put a damper on this task.

As I sat in Whitegate, seeking, bored out of my mind, someone in the LS mentioned opening two windower boxes at the same time. Hmmmm. I re-activate Exo and try it, and it works! Me and Exo are finally one, and that one is me!

Our first adventure was to Bhalfu Thickets, to see what I can now solo with my 2 toons. We fight a lesser colibri, which conned DC to me, and destroyed its ass! So we move on to an Attercop, pulverized! Things are getting fun now. I heal to full, and prepare to take on an Amerant. As I approach the giant Marboro type mob, I thought to myself "Self, remember the ones outside of Crawlers Nest? They said Easy Prey, but they were far from easy..." Screw it, I'm already engaged. I'd say that we got pummeled, but that would be an understatement. Tim dies and Exo runs, surprsingly making it to the Al Zhabi Zoneline. I go to his MH, only to realize he, like I, had no mage jobs leveled. So I recieve a raise from Alianne, and am off on my next adventure.

I consolidated all of our items together. Exo holds the gear, I hold the junk. Its a nice little system I developed, but if he ever comes back, we're gonna have a hell of a time figuring out whos stuff is whos.

Now as you can see from my list on the side, I need a NIN sub, as well as a WHM sub eventually. Bored from seeking, I decide to level BLM so I can eventually do WHM. After 3 deaths & HP's, I say "Hay, Exo has a 20 RDM, I can PL myself!". Exo makes his way to Gustaberg as a 62 War/20 Rdm haha. I am the proud new owner of a 9 Blm :)

I might update twice today, because as I typed this, some cool stuff happened to me in-game.
