Tuesday was Limbus. Normally, kinda boring.. but since the version update, SE and broke Aspir, and I was really having some fun with it.

Got an BLM burn in Sauromunge Champaign [s] which allowed me to burn an allied ring charge, as well as an emperor ring. Helllo EXP!

Finally got my BLM AF Hat fight done! Thanks Standpoint and Zerayla!!

Saturday night is the night our LS does VNM’s! We had planned to kill Shoggoth a few times that night, but about a hour before our start time, we saw a /shout in Whitegate for a group that was going to be killing Shoggoth and Lamprey Lord, so instead of possibly failing on our own, we went with the full alliance! We were able to kill it 7 or 8 times I think, and traveled all over to do it. We also got the Lamprey Lord Earring to drop… But I wasn’t able to win it.

On another note, my Colorful Abyssite changed to a yellow one, so I’ve gotta go get a new one.

Did some Exp with Touchstone and Marvolo and got my WHM76!

Did some Sea with AbsolutePerfection the other day. And afterwards, I got to do my first Abyssea!! We went after the Sandworm NM and Cloudxz was able to snag a pretty nasty great axe.

Sea

Abyssea

Did some Ix’Drg farming with the other BLM’s from AbsolutePerfection. He quickly popped for us, and we disbanded and started to nuke-zone. Vera died and I had to take over DOT’s. ): No elemental skillups for me.

Dynamis-Bastok was last night. Sadly, no 100c for me. But I did get this!

Nice for my Meditate setup, and I can macro it in for Provoke I think, when I do Gekko tanking.. Which isn’t very often.

Well, that’s all I’ve got for right now! Probably update in a few days.

-This is a post I typed up a week ago and never got around to doing-

Had a semi-failed attempt Saturday Night VNM’s with SOTW. We hardly got any participation from LS members except for a few core members. We first tried to take down shoggoth.. But that didn’t work out so good. So we moved to the tier 2 Farruca Fly VNM and killed it pretty easily. It was a good time for me because it was the first night I was able to play around with WHM/SCH, even though I only had /35SCH. We killed it 2-3 times.

I’ve spent the majority of my last week trying to get SCH up to an acceptable subjob level.. And I finally got it to 37 on Sunday night.. So my WHM isn’t gimp for exactly 14 hours before the update takes place…. Ughhhh. At least I’m busy now and I’m not constantly looking for something to do..

My To Do List:

Subjob Leveling:

WAR, NIN, SCH, DNC

Main job leveling:

BLM SAM WHM


I’ve been lurking around some WHM threads, and it seems an underused piece of gear called “Medicine Ring” which increases cure potency by 10% and it’s latent is activated by exactly the same thing as Sorcerer’s Ring would be an excellent addition to my WHM gearset. I just need to build a HP pushdown set with some Zenith gear and maybe a Serket Ring. I also plan on buying the Sorcerer’s Ring if I’m getting the HP pushdown set…

tl;dr I’m spending all my gil.



I’ve done a few MMM mazes with Sjoidjgo to try and get him some earring or whatever. Not really sure, why we’re killing it but we did 1 run with Athoz, and we won with slight difficulty. Then we duo’d it and won with moderate difficulty.

Duo

Did a Nyzul run with some LS members who have a static going, and one of the members didn’t show up, so I filled in and they informed me that I could be the permanent replacement… well 2 runs in the person who I was repping shows up and claims timezone confusion.. Not sure whats going to happen with that. I’ll let that person have my spot if they are able to catch up though..

Carste and I continued our BCNM 60 static with no drop again. We did get that fucking mask though. ughughugh

Helped some AbsolutePerfection members get the final WOTG fight completed.

Ughhhhh Version Update. Ughhhhhh.

Got extended until 9:30 EST and none of my jobs had capped EXP. When we finally got in, I recruited Zerayla to come level BLM with me in Sea on Aern’s but while I was talking to her, we both got invites on our BLM’s to join a blm burn pt in Vunkerl Inlet [s]. I needed 3 merit points (I was 2.3k towards merit point #1) and my blm was sitting at 23,000/44,000 exp. Good thing I had an allied ring, emperor ring, and Anniversary ring. I was able to hit 76 in 2 hours!!

-several days later-


I was able to get a good 18k buffer on BLM76, and was able to ding WHM76 and get a 2k buffer. Not quite as much exp as I was hoping to get this week, but it’s enough I suppose.

I bought a Sorcerer’s ring, but the only way I can activate it is by getting hit a couple times by the mob which is kinda shitty.. But until Carste and I win a Kraken Club, it’s all I can do. (Or I win more 100c from Dynamis)

I tried to do some Campaign for some exp and to raise my medals, but holy hell! Campaign was more full than it was when they released northlands! >.< I guess I’ll have to stick with level sync’s or random blm burns in sky and sea because Mt. Headacheylom is always full now.

Time for the What-I-Did-This-Weekend post!

I started out my Friday evening with wrapping up my Wings of the Goddess Mission Static! Now we’re all set to start the new missions when they come out and access the new areas! The final fight got a little tough towards the end and I died due to a stoneskin accident, but we were able to salvage the fight and get the win.

After the fight, Carste and I set out to cap our BLM buffers in anticipation of the new level cap… sadly we weren’t the only ones with this idea, and the majority of the camps were full. We were able to camp some Dahaks though, and kill Wamoura Princes.. sadly we got sloppy and got killed by one of the Dahaks. On our way back to the camp, we saw the pudding camp was pretty empty so we blew stuff up there for a while.

I was finally able to get enough coins for my Loquacious Earring. I’m unsure if I want to fulltime it on BLM, or swap in my other INT+1 MP+8.. I’ll probably sell the earring and fulltime the Loquacious. The Loquacious is something I’ve been needing for my WHM for a long time. 30MP + Fastcast = Hot.

Saturday night I went over to my friend Roy’s house (Marvolo) to play with him. We were going to work on getting Touchstone, himself and myself our AF for RDM’s… We spent about a hour farming The Eldieme Necropolis Coffer keys (2 of them) and took forever finding the coffer.. When we did finally find it, I decided to let Touchstone open it first since I could come back down here and find it myself later.. Turns out Touchstone had the BLM hands quest active, and opening the coffer on RDM did nothing for him except give him 6k gil. Lots of wasted time, but these things happen, especially in this game where the names of some quests are so similar. I would be lying if I said I’d never done anything like that. Shout-out to Sjoidjgo (falk) for his patience in helping us with these coffer keys, Thanks man.

After the failed coffer, we decided it was time to take a break before Marvolo and Touchstone canceled their content ID’s. After they got their urge to play again, I set up a exp pt for Marv’s THF, Touchstone’s WHM, and my PLD. Touchstone ended up leaving early to go home but Marv and I stayed until we got our levels.

I went back the next day to The Eldieme Necropolis and got my AF hands after tracking down the coffer.

Did a couple (5) Kirin’s with AbsolutePerfection. These guys really know what they’re doing.

Did a failed Nyzul run.

Went up to Ru’Aun Gardens with Midgetking to help him kill the Eraser to augment a Warewolf belt… but we failed due to Eraser having Additional effect Silence when he hit us. We got pretty close (1 more nuke) but we both got silenced and neither of us had echo’s and we couldn’t kite it long enough to let the effect wear off. Felt bad about this, since I assured him I would be able to solo it for him. I’ll buy him another Warewolf Belt. I should have had echo drops with me.

Since I had some Imperial Standing again, I joined a ISNM 3000 run and won another Khroma ore! I think that makes me 3/6-7? I’ll have to look back at my posts and see.

Also, I bought this for BLM upgrade:

After my ISNM, Absolute Perfection was gathering for Jailer of Faith and I was asked to WHM, so I geared up, and grabbed this off the AH so I could keep people alive better with my Barstonra.

I went to upper jeuno and got the pop item’s from Cloudxz’s mule, and went to sea to wait. Just about the moment I got there Cloud says /l we’re not doing faith anymore. And he logs out…. Weird? Maybe a emergency. Hopefully nothing bad.
