Alchemy, Woodworking

Got 80.3 Alchemy this morning before work. Last night go my mule's Woodworking to 25; I think I'm gonna give up Iron Arrows (too expensive, having to make my own arrowheads) and switch to making the Bookstool or Bookrest or whatever it is that caps at Lv31 Woodworking.

I'm done on Bloody Bolt Heads for Alchemy, and I can now move on to the next recipe.

My goal is 90 Alchemy and 40 Woodworking by the end of the week.

Alchemy and Leatherworking

Got 70.4 Alchemy last night. Up to around 30k Guild Points.

I got to 8 Leatherworking and got Advanced Leatherwork Support in order to skill up on Brilliant Snow (since Venom Pots got too expensive and I had a bunch anyway). I made about 15 stacks of Snow (they are fireworks that make it snow); that's almost 1500 fireworks. I dumped them all to NPC for 17 gil a pop, making like 23,000 gil back.

I got to level 9 or 10 leather because, when a recipe calls for two crafts, if you're under cap on the sub, you can get skills. On many synths I got 0.1 Alchemy and 0.1 Leather at the same time. It was cool.

Almost halfway to my Cadaceus. I can't wait.

LS DRG friend is 40 DRG, so we're gonna hang on for a few nights and let him catch up, then try a DRG quadro.

Alchemy and Woodworking

Got Alchemy 65 on Dandruffshampoo, and been working on Dandruffmule's woodworking (so she can HQ status bolts for me to bag up and sell on my Jeuno mule).

Got her to 23 Woodworking.

I don't look forward to doing Guild Points on two chars. x_x

Alchemy and THF

Got 16THF, and went to Carpenter's Landing as THF/BST until my Dedication wore. Got about 2000 into my level, but I can wear Bone now.

Yesterday and today both had relatively cheap Guild Point items. Spent about 70k for 9600 Guild Points, but made 30k back on my Mokuto+1s selling, and made about 10k just NPCing the NQs. Today I made Poison Kukris, but was 1 level under the HQ Tier and even managed to break one. :( I'll probably break even on the Kukris, so all in all only spent about 4 gil / Guild Point.

A conversion I'm very pleased with.

Didn't skill up Alchemy any, but that's ok. I'll get that done this weekend.

Alchemy and BST

Got 26BST/13NIN last night in Korroloka Tunnel. Started out charming and Familiar-ing a T Jelly and wiping out EM-T Combats and Seeker Bats (Seekers ranged from EP-T, though, so it was a little more sporadic).

I decided to go ahead and take Alchemy to 100, so I turned in my Hi-Potion for the test and got to 61 on Glass Fiber.

I've geared up my THF and I'm hoping to hit at least 16 this weekend so I can wear my Bone set.

We did Under Observation #22, and got Utsusemi: Ni and a Peacock Charm. Genmo sold the charm for 4,000,000 gil, and so I broke 1,000,000 gil again. I bought some gear for BLU and a Monster Signa for 230,000. If only I'd had Fraps running. :( I have about 1.2 million gil left, so this weekend I'm gonna do another splurge and get Alchemy to 70, and maybe get some more guild points... I'd like to have the Anima synthing capability to skill up to 75. At 2000-ish guild points / day, that should only take a week... provided it isn't too expensive.

We're planning to trio NIN tonight, but if not I'm gonna go camp my Bounding Boots. I really should go camp VE, but I'm not doing that alone. Not without Flee, I've learned my lesson.

Progress - February 1

I sold my Astral Ring. I got 600k. I used that to power level my goldsmithing... to 29... lame. :(

Sold all that crap, and used the 150k to get my Alchemy to LV51... in one day. -_- If I'd only done Alchemy first, I'd probably have been able to hit 70 or 80. LOL Live and learn, I guess.

We did some more trioing, and I did some soloing, got BST25 in a quadro (Me Genmo Etcetera and LS mate). We got DRG44... I'm close to 45, Brigandine ftw.

Currently at 58 Alchemy; spent more getting 51-58 then I did 0-51... stupid Hi Potions have a horrid skill up, apparently.
