The Grimy Bathtub

This weekend was mostly reevaluating what I wanted done in game.

SMN is all downhill from here. I’m midway to 66 and when I get fenrir I can head to xarc and do the final push to 70. Realistically tho, I have little ambition beyond 76. At that point the trio becomes a licence to print Gil.

Something in the back of my mind was telling me something else, and it’s a comment from Dar that let it out into the open.

Triple dragoon.

It didn’t help that we were in a triple dragoon party at the time.

The wheels started to turn, and I realized the potential of three drg/blu or drg/sam.

The glorious ws spam, the triple 500 healing pukes…

I’ll go more in-depth tonight including the /blu problem. My notes are in google docs and can’t access them well here. (dang)

Bleh.

That about sums up how I feel right now.

Anywhoo, ffxi.

I’m at the last two stages of my high damage magian hammer and greatsword, and can’t wait to finish both. I skilled myself to 232 greatsword and I’m pleasantly surprised by spinning slash so far. It’s nice consistant dmg and skills nicely with club.

SMN is still 65 because Tinu and Anrym need Diabolos and Fenrir. And this is because i’ve been totally obsessed with Magians. @.@ I totally forgot about Nether Blast and it might just be my ticket to leveling safer. Somnolence is another thing, it might help me kill tigers that much faster. In any case, my damage shot up.

I’ve been writing again but I’m severly hampered by allergies and fatigue. At least I can refocus all my energies that I put into magians into writing for now. I need to put more time aside for writing, I want to write that long-ass story dammit. My goal is at least a chapter a week.

The wedding is Monday, and I still need to draft things. I’m nervous but I’m dedicating the majority of the weekend to it.

I consider myself ready for cap 80 now. Anrym is leveling in sync parties, my weapons are almost complete. I’m not seriously planning a stribog for drg, but I’ll consider it if I want a break from smn.

That’s all for now.

I’ve been usually happy this weekend, which ended up screwing my plan to write depressing stuff. Ah well, take 2 tonight.

Quick update: got to stage six in my magian high damage weapons, and did a trio of kclubs last night. No drops but 150k. SMN trio is so damm easy.

I finally hit 65 last night and that means two major upgrades: Fenrir and smn torque. So far I’m impressed with the puppy but obviously I’ll know more when I get him with all three. I didn’t test diabolos but that, like fenrir, will wait until later. I’m hoping it does as much as tier 4s however, that way I might be able to sleep nuke with blast and his ward move and sleeps and deals damage.

So now what?

Well I still need two yinyang robes, two smn torques, and two bacon cuffs. Two Garuda heads too but that’s easy. I also need diabolos and fenrir on tinu and anrym.

On the !smn side, I started to work on minijolnir and a greatsword in the trials, finished fauxteclaire on the weeekend and it is sex. I’m also consisting the low dmg OAT club for anrym, would give her an option for /nin IF I EVER LEVEL THAT.

But I think I’ll wait, I have the macc staves to make once I hit smn 75.

That’s all for now.

For the next few weeks it’s CAMPIN CAMPIN CAMPIN

Okay so.

Long weekend.

Yeah.

FIRST OFF

Stage 6 Fauxteclaire!

From last post to late friday, that was the first TWO trials of this path.  Everything else was up to now, just cleared 199 three hours ago.  It really does get better after those first two goddamm weather onry trials.

I’m expecting to have it finished this week. :3

Next up,

Summoner 60 x3!

I tested the Tier IVs while we were doing bombs, 441 base and 560 with ~65% tp, it’s VERY VERY encouraging for damage output. I’ll have to see resist rates and such.  Next goal: 65 and Eclipse bite.  *nom*

I’ll post an updated list of the magian quests later, I changed my goals slightly.
