To start I finally got 75 ninja from months of duoing from level 50. It was fun going through the levels and not worrying about looking for a party or having trouble not finding "this job" or "that job." Last Tuesday I capped my xp for ninja. I'm not really sure what to think about meriting ninja. It doesn't look that appealing to me. One day I was helping a friend in Castle Oztroja getting a coffer key and while I was there I might as well get a ninja testimony. Got the drop of course and fought maat. It was so easy, I love overkilling Maat. My Blade: Jin at the start of the match got him down to 51%! What I wanted to do was use the Opo-opo Necklace and get 100%, Jin, Tp wing, Jin and it would of skillchained and I know it would of put him in his place. But when I went in, I forgot that my necklace was still on my mule outside of the bcnm!! Oh well, I popped at least 10 Hi-Potions though before the match so it helped out after he Mijin.
Now that I'm done with that duo static, I am starting a new one. Samurai. Long awaiting for me to get 75 samurai. This group is going to be duo with another samurai. We started last night at 60 in the boyahda tree. We fought rabbits, crabs, and crawlers. Was so easy/fun just to spam weapon skills and make skillchains. Not sure how long the static is going to go on for but I would like to push it as far as I can. Right now we are both sam/war but I think next time I'm going to have my partner try out /dancer; that's going to be interesting. Also I use polearm over the great katana because I enjoy spamming penta-thrust (and I have 4 polearm merits). My partner's damage from the start was usually about half the damage I was doing until we leveled, then his damage started to kick in. I'm going to switch back to great katana soon after I finish out my 4 merits into the skill. I would get Tachi: Gekko two levels earlier and it's going to be great ^^!
Other than my exp, not much is going on. I still do my events and this weekend I'm going to some Kirins with an all pet linkshell; going to be interesting... lots of Courier Carrier and Diablos. I finally started to do some of the new missions for Jibrienne (my second character). I opened up 4 of the 9 maws today while waiting for a friend to finish out his quests to get his Scholar AF.
Scholar AF3 was pretty much easy, was just a BCNM against another Scholar. Fight went pretty smooth. Duoed it with his red mage. Only thing that sucked is when he would use that ability that made his spells AoE. But I didn't take a lot of damage from the spells unlike last night where I was fighting some black mage NM tonberry in the Den of Rancor. Now that NM was a pain. I HATE black mage mobs. Stupid AoE spells;; I should of looked up the info about him but I knew that I could take him. I tried to elemental seal silence but it failed, so I debuffed him with ninja but it didn't stop him from opening with aeroga III. Getting hit from that spell I would be at full life down to 100 hp with no shadows. So annoying. Also Den of Rancor is annoying place to camp stuff at because everything aggro and lack of space to camp. I couldn't run away from his spells so he just kept hitting me with aeroga III and blizzaga III. I was very close to dying though at the end when he blizzaga III me and killed Jibrienne. I still had reraise for her so I got up and martyr myself and cure 4 and divine seal cure 3 and whatever just to keep me alive until the NM died. Well I won and it dropped 3,000 gil and waterga III. Oh the fight was with Myinre (ninja) and Jibrienne (white mage) only.
Fought another NM while I was out in the Den. I forgot it's name but its the one that drops the Ugg. Necklace. No I'm not talking about the NM in Pso'Xja that drops the PENDANT. This necklace basicly reduces the amount of damage you take from Everyone's Grudge based on your tp %. During this time I had a friend with me that came as 69 Corsair/Ranger. So I got ninja's roll and fighter's roll and the fight was a breeze. The NM is a thief mob and he usually triple attacked but couldn't hit me. It dropped the necklace so, it's just another item I have that will sit in my mog storage as soon as I make room or buy another mannequin.
Oh I was orginally in Den of Rancor because I needed my 4th summoner test -.- I hate that Maat fight. It's like purely on luck. My second try I got him down to around 25% and he insta-casted Shiva and insta-diamond dusted me. I just want to get that genkei fight out of the way. Got my test but this next time I'm just going to go in and after my buffs I'm going to walk up to him and astral flow and run to the back to the BCNM. Hopefully in that time frame he wouldn't cast another avatar and use astral flow then have it chase after me. Oh someone also noted to me that I should build up on HP+ gear since I always die to his pet. So HOPEFULLY I will win this time...
That's all the news I have... See ya again!
