Sunday Limbus, Monday Assault, Tuesday Meriting and Farming

Over the weekend I didn't do much online. I spent most of the weekend just relaxed in real life, but I did log in for 2hours on Sunday for Limbus with Dreams. I was asked to go MNK this time because we were low on DD. I wanted to go on WHM so I could work on playing it, but we needed DD so I changed. It wasn't a total lost since I haven't played MNK in awhile. I lasted longer in this run compared to last Sunday, however, I did dc again toward the end but I was prepared and returned quicker. My current goal in Limbus is NIN material for gloves and coins for items I still need.

Monday was Assault and Galaika was unable to attend again. Baja asked Bahamnut if he wanted to join us for some FL missions so he did. It was a good thing too because my connection was crappy that night. After Assault I just took the night off since I 5 dcs during the Assault runs. The first tag we tried the Hydra mission again and this time we won. I dc'd during most of the fight, but Bahamnut was there on WAR so he tanked it while I was gone. The next tag we tried the Cerberus missions and failed pretty quickly. I went NIN/DRK and Nyo on RDM/DRK for stun but he resisted my stun and I couldn't keep haste because I was worried about aggro with the elements. Anyways we tried Cerberus again with me going back to /WAR and Bahamnut using G.axe and won pretty easily. We lucked out with the elements because they aggro'd Baja, but he died quickly and without transferring hate to the rest of us so they depop'd. We need now one more FL mission for Captain, but Galaika needs the missions we did so we will probably have to redo Hydra and Cerberus for him.

Today I got a merit party in the morning. It was my first merit party in a couple of months since I was focused on leveling WHM. It was a great party with 4 merits earned in about 2 hours and a half. I rarely get a party like that now a days, and I wanted to play more but I needed to do some stuff before Sky farming later in the day so we disbanded around my 4th merit.

Sky farming started a bit early with Jussy spotting Faust up. However since farming didn't officially start we were slow on moving out to him. Two ls, Browncoats and United were there ahead of us and fought for claim but United got it in the end. We stayed a bit to see if they could kill it, but when it was clear they had it Aal port'd up to Ulli room to scan for MG and she was up. We then ahead out to MG and with Browncoats and United still at Faust we got MG. We then spent the rest of the night trying to pop SC and waiting for Zippy. Tomorrow is Kirin x2 if we get enough people, and hopefully some N.bodies and W.legs will drop so I can move up the list.

Thursday Assault and Sky Farming, Friday Dynamis-Jeuno

Thursday was Assault again and the static did past missions for 2 tags and Azure Experiments for the last tag. Galaika was able to join for one tag, but Nyo missed out on all of them so we may need to do one of the past missions over again. I hope though we can do FL missions on Monday and finish them since most of us just need the FL missions to get Captain rank. Also if we do finish off FL missions on Monday, it would mean we only need to do a few more past missions for those who didn't get Captain rank yet. Then we could focus on Nyzul runs, Divisor ring runs, or farming points for items.

Later that night I did sky farming again, but we did better productively then the past few farming sessions. I was late a hour because of Assault but I heard we got MG and SC before I arrived. When I did arrive to sky the ls was on the move to Byakko North because Zippy popped, I ran to join them and we got Zippy. After that we went to Despot to farm there since most of the NMs in Sky were killed by us with the exception of Faust and Despot. However since Starks was the only tank and he went away for a bit, we missed Despot which the ls Dreams got. I sensed there maybe some trouble because they are my Limbus ls now, but they started doing Sky too recently. I don't want to cause trouble for Fleist so I'll see how it plays out for a bit and see if its causing problems. But I feel sorry for Starks because most of our PLDs don't come to farming anymore and he likes to play other jobs. I like to play PLD for Sky, but mine is only level 60 so it will take like a month for me to get 75. Anyway the last NM in sky that didn't pop was Faust so we went over there to wait for it. It took like 45mins of waiting but Faust popped and we killed it. It was a bit messy battle since Starks never tanked it before, but we won.

Friday was Dynamis-Jeuno and it was a slow start with only 18 people at the beginning. However as the run went on later comers got on and we had 24 people or so by the end of the run. The AF drops were slow too at start but eventfully we got MNK, WHM x2, RDM, WAR, and NIN AF2 drops. I was lucky enough to get WAR AF2 and Daremo a ls friend got NIN AF2. The run overall was smooth even at start with 18 people. At the end though when we killed the boss and got the win we tried to farm afterwards. We did fine the first pull, but the second pull we link and got like 50 mobs on us. WIPE! However we wiped in style with like half the zone on us! Over the weekend I don't have much going on but trying to find some people for Rutter Sabatons for a few friends and myself and Limbus. Till next update.

Action shoot.

I got War AF.

Wipe!

People don't like me taking pictures of dead bodies.

They sat on me and raise me last! ; ;

WHM to 75, Sky farming, Minis

Today or rather at a really late hour at the night that started on Tuesday I got 75 on WHM with Witch and Ice. WHM would be my 5th job to 75. Wednesday at sky I did minis, but the ls only had 3 minis so there wasn't much to do during sky. For the rest of the day I took a break since leveling WHM was tiring doing 50 to 75 in a month. Tomorrow is Assault again and Sky again.

I'm still thinking of which job to level next, but I'll be taking my time since I'm pretty tired with leveling a new job currently since I just finished leveling WHM.

Sunday Limbus, Monday Assault

Sunday I joined Dreams a Limbus ls of a friend of my in game, Fleist, he is a good guy. I always wanted to play more with Fleist and this is my chance. I hope to have a great time with them now I joined. Unfortunately I dc'd toward the end of my first run with them and I was the healer for the party, not exactly the start I wanted. However, stuff like that always happen to me, but I hope the next run I attend I can last until the end.

Monday was Assault and Galaika couldn't attend again. However we did get the past three missions I needed done pretty quickly and easily. The last tag we did a Nyzul run for boots, and finally we got a pair of boots to drop! Denali Gamashes, I wanted those boots but lost the lot. At least though we got a drop since after a few runs we got nothing to drop. Anyways, I hope we do more runs for Nyzul for boots and head pieces, but first I like to complete FL missions.

Friday WHM 72 and Dynamis Bastok #1, Saturday WHM 73 and 74

Friday I got an invite from Witch and Ice again; I have been partying with them lot since the low 60s. We did pretty good job with 35k exp gained or so, which gave more then enough for my level 72 on WHM. I could have gotten 73, but I had to do some things around the house before Dynamis so I had to end it after 4hours of exping.

At night I did Dynamis - Bastok with my new Dynamis LS, this was the second run I attend and the third run of the LS. It's a newly established LS, but its fun to do Dynamis again after a month and a half off of Dynamis. I also know a few people in the shell so its more fun then normal because you play with people you know. I didn't need any AF2 in Bastok, but lots dropped that night (drg x3, sam, blm, drk, smn, bst, thf, pld) and we won easily with very few deaths. I see the LS doing well in the future if we have 5 regular BLMs to show up at every run it would be smooth sailing for LS. So far the shell is working nicely, reminds me of the time when I joined lolDynamis when they first started out.

It gets crowded in Dynamis.

Saturday I got 73 and 74 on WHM. 73 in a morning party and 74 in a evening party. I'll try to get 75 sometime in the next few days and after that merit a few to cap some of the jobs I left unfinished. Next job I'll level is either PLD or RDM.

Thursday WHM 71, Assault, and Sky farming.

On Thursday morning party I got an invite for my WHM pretty easily and quickly. I was still setting up my comment when I got a /tell for a party. It was a half Japanese, half NA party and it was a nice. I think we got 44k in 3 hours (really 2.5 hours w/o downtime) but we mostly did that well because we had a nice puller, tank, and the sam (ldr of the party) who was dual boxing. He had his other toon which was a WHM help with the cures/haste. Overall the day started off nice.

Assault was after the partying, and Galaika pass out again or something because we couldn't get him to respond. So we did Nyzul farming for boots and we did not get the boots to drop, and we only did one tag for Nyzul because Baja got a call to come kill Tiamat. The other two tags we decided then to use on pass missions Myrrh needed. It also turned out another ls got Tiamat from Kaizen so Baja rejoined us for the tags.

Sky was after Assault and it was farming since we were low on people for Kirin. Our roster is full of hard working people in real life so its hard getting people together on Thursdays. Farming didn't go so well either with us camping at Despot all night with him not popping again. I swear he only pops when I don't attend! Friday is Dynamis, and I'll try to get 72 on WHM which is 4k away tomorrow and 73 over the weekend.

Tuesday WHM 70 and Sky farming, Wednesday Minis

Tuesday I got WHM to 70 from a morning pt. After the leveling I took a break before Sky farming later that day. At sky we just popped Ulli x2, Olla x2, and BB x1 for minis on Wednesday. After that I seeked for a night pt and a 1hour pt so it was nothing special, after that I logged for the night.

Wednesday I got a party with a few people I've partied before during my mid 60s and got 10k. The party ended after an hour because there was no refresh on, but still exp is exp. Sky later that evening was slow with people dcing and gathering. But we did Genbu x2, Seiryu, and Byakko. We were supposed to do another Seiryu, Suzaku, and Byakko but we ran out of time and also missing a few people that had the pop item. Tomorrow we will try for Kirin, but before I have Assault as usually.

Saturday WHM 68, Sunday WHM 69, and Monday Assault

Over the weekend I got 2 levels for my WHM. However, since it was the weekend all the camping spots were pretty crowded and it took awhile finding a pick up party. But despite that I got 68 on Saturday and 69 on Sunday. I could have tried for 70, but I got tired from all of the seeking I did over the weekend. I'll try to get 70 on Monday since my goal is to get WHM to 73 by the end of the week.

Monday was Assault and we did 3 tags of FL missions. All of FL missions are much harder then the previous missions, but the challenge of it is whats so fun about them. The first tag we tried "The Price Is Right," the mission we wiped on last Thursday because we were only 5 people. This time though we won with everyone in the static showing up, but we barely won with Skaw as the only melee left standing since Nyo and I died to a tier III -ga. The next tag we tired "The Susanoo Shuffle," but we wiped on this one around 8% or so. The NM was a Hydra type mob, but is a weaker version of the real one. I died like 3 times on this one mission because he has a phase were he moves about uses only tail attacks, but if you TP him or attack from behind during this phase he will do a flail type attack. Next time though we will win since we got a feel of what we did wrong, and what we can do to improve next time. The last tag we did "Bloody Rondo," in this mission we fight Count Dracula! This fight was easy, and it seemed the easiest of the FL missions so far. Thursday I guess we will try to finish off the FL missions, or do some past missions. Tomorrow is Sky farming and Wednesday is minis.

Thursday WHM 67, Assault, Sky Farming and Friday Dynamis

Thursday I got WHM to 67 pretty easily, I wanted to continue to get 68 but I had Assault and Sky so I had to stop leveling. Assault we just did past missions people needed, but with one tag we did try a FL mission but failed without Myrrh (WHM). After assault was Sky farming, but it was like the last farming I attended with nothing gained for us. Next week we plan to pop some minis and do Kirin.

Friday was my first run with a new Dynamis LS. They are all a bunch of experienced FFXI players that formed to farm for coins for relic upgrades. The run was nice and smooth at the start, but during the end we died a bit more because some of our BLMs left toward the end. I personally died twice, but its nothing compared to the BLMs. Still lots of AF2 dropped during the run (war x2, nin, pld, smn, whm x2, brd, rng) in my experience Sandy is usually average on drops but that night we got tons. I got one of the WAR AF2 and the NIN AF2 that night so I was pretty happy at the end. I'm getting closer to completing some goals of mine. Over the weekend I'll try and level WHM some.

Tuesday WHM 63 and 64, Wednesday 65 and 66

The last few days I've been lucky enough to get lots of good pts. I've leveled faster to 65 then I thought I could, and I'm currently level 66 for WHM. My goal was to get level 65 for WHM, but at this pace I can do level 68. So my goal is to get 68 by the end of the weekend I hope, and by the end of next week 73. After getting 75 for WHM, I'll start on PLD next and maybe merit more again, or maybe start to level COR.

Sunday WHM to 62, Monday Assault

Sunday morning I got a party pretty quickly on my WHM. I thought I was going to get 62 for sure that morning because I was only 10k tnl. However, I did not level in that party because the party sucked. Not just sucked, but was unbelievably bad! We only got 4.5k with exp ring in 2hours... I mean one guy stopped the pt for 25mins just so he could change his sub to /sam to see what kind of dmg he could do. The ldr was also so undecisive because during that 25mins we did not do anything. We could have fought easily with 5 people, but instead we did nothing. Our tank, a Japanese player was probably pissed with how slow the pt was too because he afked and never came back. I couldn't blame the guy though because I was tempted to fake dc from the party, but we just disbanded after waiting for 20mins for the tank to come back.

In the late afternoon I got another party invite and got my level 62 pretty quickly. This party was much better then the last, but it was short because the ldr and his friend needed do real life stuff. We did get 12k though in 1.5 hours which is pretty good. I only wish I got more good pts, then crappy ones. However, ever since SE lowered the exp total gained in order to level from the level ranges of 60-75, the crap players have been able to get into the higher level ranges much easier. And there are a shit load of crappy players out there which just makes me cry. Anyways, I hope to get 65 by the end of the week, but know the crappy players out there it will probably be only 63.

Monday's Assault we did repeats because since the update we found you need to complete all the assault missions to get the rank of Captin. So we will be doing past missions to get our rank, I myself need 3 past missions and the FL missions to get my Captin rank.

Friday WHM to 59, Saturday WHM to 61

I got WHM to 59 on Friday in a pretty good pt. The puller was a brd and he was pulling like it was a merit pt, but I still got level 59 in a pretty quick fashion. I would have gotten 60 too but the pt didn't stay for my 2k tnl and we got some downtime when the brd died. I tired getting a pt at night but it got late while waiting for a pick up pt so I logged to sleep.

Saturday I woke up early to try and get a morning pt and I got a invite to a Japanese pt. It was a slow pt with a pld tank and a slow puller, but I still got 60 and half way to 61.

After the pt I went to finish my last 2 AF pieces. I got my bell for the body piece on my second kill pretty easily, now I just need to find some help for the NM fight. After getting the bell I went to Beadeaux for a coffer key for my old gantlets. The key dropped easily too and so I went back to Jeuno and flagged the quest and changed back to WHM to open the coffer. Once I got the key item, I went to kill the NM bomb for my AF hands. I'm pretty much done with WHM AF I just need to find help for the body piece.

At night after doing those AF quests I deicded to seek and try for level 61. After awhile of seeking I got a night pt and got level 61. The pt wasn't special, but it got me my level so thats all that counts. Tomorrow I'll try for level 62.
