Carpenter's Landing

Carpenter's Landing was a BST playground. Tons of DC-EM Bees and Beetles to use on the Funguar.

Once I dinged 17BST 17WHM, some of the Funguar turned EM as well. After clearing house, some of them even dipped to DC. I kept pets so that Mule's WHM could keep up (since I couldn't use her exp ring).

My Funguar came uncharmed at the worst times. Usually when Mule was out of MP, or after my opponent criticalled me. There are high intensity moments where it becomes complicated to do two characters at once. With MNK WHM it was never an issue, MNK was auto attack, and my full focus was on my WHM.

Just gotta practice, is all.

Well, got 16BST and a buffer on Mule, put her in the Bone gear, and decided to go back to town and duo BST.

I tried to find a good place to solo BST with Shampoo (was kinda tired and didn't feel like duoing), and finally settled on Ghelsba. Got about 1500 exp off EPs (for like 15-20 exp apiece, I couldn't find a good camping spot that was safe enough), then went back to town. I'll just duo tonight.

Geared up Mule's 15WHM and Shampoo's 15BST, I'll do Carpenter's Landing tonight. The Beetles, Funguar, and Orcs are Tough, so I should be fine.

ding (10-15 BST)

Mule was still in La Theine Plateau. Soloed for awhile, got to 13.

Frotaut logged on, I invited him out to duo. We're both BSTs, and only three levels apart. He's very very close tnl, so I log out Mule and just PL him until he hits 11. Two laps through the bat cave suffice.

We party up on Funguars, and I'm using pet Bees and Bats. It kills my exp enough that he levels up one fight before I hit 14. My signet wore off about halfway through leveling, but that's ok.

After he leaves, I solo until 6:00AM to get my 15th level and buffer, then blood warp home.

This afternoon, I logged on and finished my Light Axe quest, and sold some crystals. Have about 200k on Mule, 175k on Shampoo. I like BST. I am going to go back out to Funguars tonight and get Mule to Lv20, then take out Shampoo's BST and get /him/ to 20.

Since Mule can't PL Shampoo, I'll probably take him out as 15BST/7WHM and go to Ghelsba. I love that place.

And I found out today that Mule's RSE day is Friday (my day off) starting at 11:30-ish PM, and is in Ordelle's. Perfect timing. Guess I'll go activate her quest and get her started on RSE.

linkshell party

So last night, I notice a guy in the LS is the same level as me.

"We should duo," I say. Another guy in the LS thinks he has a job that level.

It kinda snowballs from there, until we have a 5 man party. I run out to Windurst, change jobs, and meet them in Giddeus. We have a slow start (Nuraku kept dying; Yagudo Sweep attacks would kill him before weakness wore).

Nuraku (RNG) pulls. Frotaut (BST) and Mule (BST) fight. We don't charm much, after the initial run in. Kovalt (DRG) and Tulangrei (PUP) brought their little helpers for a non-exp-penalty help.

RNG BST BST DRG PUP and Shampoo PL'd as 36WHM.

I got from 8BST to 10BST, which was awesome. Everyone levelled at least once, and after two hours we broke party, getting Nuraku his last 50 exp. I Teleport-Holla after we lot out all the seals and crystals.

I logged out at the crag so I could PL Mule's BST to 15 tonight, hopefully. I'll give duoing BST another try. Mule's WHM is high enough to go to 30BST before we have to worry about SJ.

[edit]Oh yeah. Beestinger is apparently worth 30k now, not 10k... whoops. And, also, AWESOME. :) My THF uses H2H anyway, I probably won't take it very far. I like /WAR on MNK, THF is just for TH-whoring.

ding and more

Got THF5 to THF7 last night, while doing laundry. I had the hill all to myself for about 40 minutes. Then a 15THF shows up.

THEN A 72 SAM!!!! I am freaking out, and just killing all the non-wasps. I get to the peak, and the SAM clears house. Dejected, I go back downstairs to find a meager sampling of leftovers.

I emote on Shampoo a /sigh at the SAM, while my THF finishes off her Maneating Hornet... when I see STINGING SOPHIE!!!

I hit my /ra macro on my THF, and switch over to Shampoo's controller and try to navigate - manually, through menus - to Dia so I can get claim. The SAM runs up to Sophie, his GKT drawn, and it goes purple... DAMN IT.

I look back to Mule. It's RED! And so is her HP. >_>

I hit the /ma Cure Dandruffmule macro, and then invite her to party. I Banish II it twice, and melee it the rest of the way.

Beehive Chip, and BEESTINGER!!!

I tell the SAM that I got the drop... he's already back in Port Bastok. What the hell is a 72 SAM doing farming bees for like 10 minutes, then leaving the instant I got claim on the NM? That knife is like 10k. If a 72 char can't get 10k quicker than camping an NM... that's just effing sad.

I logged out, got my laundry, and went to bed.

Outpost

Got my Derfland OP (Passhow Marshland). San d'Oria has control of Aragoneu (or whatever) so I'm going to get that tomorrow after I level up.

After that, I ran out to Bastok to level up Mule's THF.

ding

Got 15WHM /15BST. Should have 20BST by next weekend, and get ready to do some Wings of Fury runs next weekend (I'll do 20BST / 20MNK with Shamp/Mule) .

Need to go get Derfland OP before San d'Oria loses it.
