Ok, so apparently I have a shit ton to cover here…

First of all. Blam.

I was first on the list to obtain these sexy pants. These make my MP go for miles and miles.. Also they help me get within 1% of the fast cast cap for my cures. (20% from merits, 15 from cure clogs, 12 from legs) Also, once I get my cure potency staff upgraded so that my C5’s will be doing 1k , I’ll be rocking a 65MP Cure 5 in Light Arts. My Cure5 heals about 915HP right now. Sadly, I’m now Perma-WHM.

Sadly, that’s the only Af3 I’ve obtained so far. I’m close to getting my SAM legs, and not so close to getting BLM legs, but I’m working on those slowly.

We had a Sea week with AP. Did the normal Jailers. We got super lucky first day in the week with Ix’Drg popping 3x in one night, so we didn’t need to camp him any more. That was always my least favorite part of Sea. Farming Ix’Drg.

I was able to get my hands on this cape, which is useful for both my jobs, and my enhancing build on WHM! My Boost-MND gives +8 now! Still trying to find a way to max it out to +10, but I don’t think it’s possible until the next update, or without a lot more Enhancing + gear.

Also, got this nasty little thing. Hell yes. BLM is coming along nicely. I’ve long since maxed out my merits on all my jobs, and the only job without capped EXP is SAM.. but we’re working on that.

This week we were prepping for an Absolute Virtue zerg. I was pretty excited, as I always am, to fight really intense monsters. I was on WHM for the JOL’s and AV. After we killed JOL, I R3 spammed a few people for about 40mins while everyone job changed and we practiced bard rotations. We finally engaged with about 12 minutes before it was due to depop. An alliance with 1 WHM in each pt, Sam’s, War’s, a Drg for Angon, and all the other defense lowering stuff . The zerg went incredibly well, but we wiped at 17% I think. Might have been lower. The War’s and Sam’s parsed well, but the Drg was holding us back big time. The other 2 parties in the alliance died due to lack of cures and Meteor spamming. My party followed shortly thereafter. It was a good attempt, and I hope we try it again soon.

Holy fuck, what’s next?...

I helped Janko kill some Shaggoth for Magian trial. That was a good time.

Carste and I have been duoing everything in Abyssea. Don’t have too much to show for it, but we’re working on that. Absolute Perfection has really gotten us the best Atma’s so far. We’re still hoping to get a few more good ones, but we’ve got the ones that make the most difference. 10Mp/tick refresh = Awesome for WHM, and the –enmity isn’t terrible either.

Carste’s NIN has become disgustingly good since the update. Both in and out of Abyssea. The SAM RDM duo is long since dead. NIN WHM is the only way to go now. I have endless MP, and with Refresh and Magic Acc atma’s, I can nearly land capped Paralyze and Slow on everything. The 30-40min Quasimodo duo is now a 10min fight with NIN. Sadly, drops on him have been garbage lately. That fight is so easy, I sac pull and keep Carste alive weakened for half the fight.

Duo’d Lord Varney with little problems, when I’m not retarded. The problems being that I’m retarded… Yeah.

Another Cuelebre duo. This time for Veralynn who wanted the dagger. Instead of the WHM RDM setup we had done in the past, BLM RDM was more applicable since the 10MP/tick refresh atma had been obtained. Took less than 13 minutes to kill. Carste could probably solo that in 30mins. Granted he doesn’t get petrified..yeah.

ZNM’s! I forget if I posted our awesomesauce duo of Nosferatu. But we did it. We had 2 buyers for gear, but sadly it didn’t drop any. Anataboga killed.

NIN/??? WHM/SCH, Achamoth kill. This was intended to be a duo, but Zaross wanted to come and he geared up PLD/RDM so he could zone the pops… But he DC’d right before and during the fight, so I ended up taking the pops to the zoneline and leaving carste all by himself. Zaross did come back and finish his job. This could more than likely actually be a duo with NIN/DNC WHM/RDM. I started to run out of mp from zoning so much and not being able to rest, so refresh and convert would make that an easy fight.

Another 6man Sarameya.

SAM/WAR

SAM/WAR

WHM/SCH

RDM/SCH

THF/SAM

BRD/WHM

We're pretty cute. Just sayin.

Opted to drop the COR for someone with Treasure Hunter this time. We had planned on doing this as a 5man without the BRD but our BRD pal ended up being able to come, and it turns out we could probably do this duo’d SAM/WAR WHM/SCH, but that seems just a little risky for all the work it takes to get one of those pops.

Our Sarameya was alive for about 5 minutes. He went down so fast that I felt cheated out of my fight. 2 SAM’s is just too much. Maybe next time we won’t dispel his regen to actually make it a challenge. Drops: Oracle’s hat, and other gil items. No pants ; ;. I’ll never get those, but it’s fun to try.

After the Sarameya, We stole Zerayla and Athoz, and went to Abyssea to see if we could get them some seals. It was good to play with them again, Since I hadn’t had the opportunity in ages.

After they both went to bed, Carste and I went to Abyssea - Konschtat to kill a few NM’s that we both wanted drops from. Neither of us got our drops, and we ended our night by attempting Turul.. which as always, is a terrible idea.
