Limit Break, NIN

Did the three crests with Waif (Etcetera helped me open the magical forcefield in Davoi, and Genmo provided lots of navigational help).

Since our static has kind of fallen apart at the moment (Genmo taking a break, my changing work schedule sucking, so on), I've taken to levelling Waif's NIN.

My eventual plan is for Waif to be 75PLD 75WAR 75NIN and just have him be my tank character. Since WAR is technically staticed (I did do a party with Deleon and got ahead of Genmo and Etc >_> whoops), and PLD is staticed with my BST on Shampoo ~ I went ahead and got NIN levelled from 27 to -

I dinged 40NIN last night. I am borrowing three big ticket pieces from Genmo : Fuma Kyahan, Horomusha Kote, and Jujitsu Gi. I finally used the scroll I got from Under Observation, and have been relearning my Ni-Ichi-Ni cycle.

Tonight, taking a break from exping to farm up my Ni elemental scrolls. Since the main reason I wanted 40 NIN was for Mammets (CoP mission), I need the main weapon for that fight.

The next Limit Break I'll have to do is one I need for both Shampoo and Waif, so that'll be fun. My friend wants to do the PLD AF storyline, so right now I only have PLD AF boots. Heh. But I got my BST Gloves the other night (thanks Genmo, Etcetera). So I'm 3/5 on BST AF. Need my pants and jack coat now.

Four months

In the four months since my last post, I've gone from 57DRG to 60DRG, then levelled another job all the way to 56 (BST and BRD), and Waif went from ALMOST having an advanced job, to being 57WAR 56PLD.

Wow. Not a bad run at all.

Also, both Waif and Shampoo have a Scorpion Harness and Peacock Charms (though Waif is exclusively Parade Gorget (+1 Refresh while HP > 85%) while on PLD).

Shampoo is set to get Lv70, and Waif is set to get Lv60. The next Limit Break is a joke, though (seals in the three beastman strongholds), and the one after that even moreso (trade 3 Kindred Seals). So... yeah. :) Can't wait to see where I am four months from NOW.

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.

22BST and Ring!

I was soloing on BST, got to 22 in Buburimu (I 2houred a Tough Akbaba and roughed up a bunch of mandies and goblins, and even a couple of T Wights), when the LS chat brings up someone doing Wings of Fury.

He says he wants us to pass on the ring for him. I suggest we either do (a) what my static does, aka Split Everything™, or (b) Your Orb, Your Drop. They decide to do (b).

I gear up Dandruffmule (21BST/10WHM), grab a Cloudy Orb, and run out to Ghelsba. I afk at WoF BCNM spot (Ghelsba Outpost hut) for about 2 1/2 hours while Fro levels.

We do the first orb, Me Fro and Tula. No sweat. BST BST WHM ftw. :) Nothing of value.

We do my orb 2nd. After a cheesecake victory, I lock on to the Armory Crate, swivel around to face North (it's Darksday and I'm superstitious). Astral Ring. *_*;;;

Now I'm torn between saving it and using it (would really help my BLU), or just selling it to powerlevel a craft.

Soloed more with my BST this morning after my 8AM class, and got about halfway into 22. Korroloka is a lot more stressful than Buburimu, and I'm not sure the exp/hour is really all that great. I'll need to clock myself tomorrow morning after my exp ring wears off.
