Yup, so I slacked off for a long time on the whole updating of the live journal. I blame it on the PS2 that sits behind me. Normally I update my journal when I seek party on drk, but now I've got this nice little program that notifies me when I received a tell! I only wished that I could have gotten it sooner, it's oh so nice. So now instead of staring at my moogle while seeking on drk, I can play video games behind me without having to look back every few seconds only to see that I in fact not received any tells. I can't say I feel bad about using this program, it's not hurting anyone ^^ The main reason I wish I had it earlier is simply because I can do other stuff while playing this game now....like school work.....
As for in game I've done a lot of stuff I suppose. I took a break from soloing limbus all the time and I've actually started to duo with people! It's much much better for limbus that way to be honest. I'm getting about 40 coins every 2 runs. I finally got my black rivet as well. I turned in all my materials for my chaos gauntlets+1 as soon as I could, now I just need the level >.> I've got a lot of stuff waiting to be used for my drk in the upcoming levels, can't wait! So I now have a set partner for limbus, Punisha. I've only gone with him once, but we each got 19 coins. He's a bit rusty on his macros atm, but he'll get better, and we'll get more coins each run. I did a few runs with a friend from my LS as well, nfx. He's really good and I'll miss duoing with him on this. This is what we got for duoing the Fafnir in NW apollyon. I get that darn sam item pretty much every run I do. I am going to try and solo him soon though, and hopefully a video will come out of that.
Apart from the soloing/duoing I've been in the hnm scene when I can. Lots of camping behemoth lately. Too bad the RMTs are there -_- I even got to be part of taking down Cerberus, no pics of him though ; ;
I finally got my Crafting Apron. I skipped the hat simply because its ugly and went straight for the cute apron. I haven't really touched cooking after I got my apron though, still at 72 or so...at least its 72+1 now! Does that make me a HQ Chef?
Here are a couple funny looking pics. The first pic is from an ouryu bc fight, and the second one is from lebros cavern tier 1. I've cleared all the assaults now, so it's time to go straight for points. What sucks is that the points I want most are from lebros cavern and the tier 3 assault only gives 333 points to everyone the 2nd time you win orz. And no one wants to do the tier 1, and especially the tier 2 ><
Here's all the crap I'm going for and my current progress.
Leujaoam Sanctum: 3,614/30,000
Yigit Seraweels - Low 20,000 - 2 mp recovered while healing is always nice. I actually want the whole set because it's the fastest way to recover mp.
Potent Belt- Low 10,000 - Might want this for drk, but not too sure on it.
Mamool Ja Training grounds: 2,681/40,000
Yigit Gages - Medium 20,000 - Good hands for my Rdm. Suppose I could get rid of my Devotee mitts+1 for these.
Amir Boots - Medium - Good boots for my Drk, but my drk isn't quite 75 yet ; ;
Lebros Cavern: 3,137/28,000
Chivalrous Chain - Medium 8,000 - I doubt I'll be getting a peacock charm anytime soon, but this can certainly replace it.
Yigit Crackows - High 20,000 - My most wanted item. I'd love these for blm.
Periqia: 3,449/20,000
Yigit Gomlek - Medium 20,000 - Good for nuking as rdm. And I'd love to wear this while healing for the cool factor.
Ilrusi Atoll: 5,265/28,000
Grandiose Chain : Low 8,000 : Best mp recovered while healing neck piece, but I'm having enough trouble with my inventory. >.>
Yigit Turban : Low 20,000 : This is mostly just to complete the set I suppose. Maybe I'd use it while curing as rdm in bigger hnms because of the -emnity.
We did some more level 30 promivians to get our slivers. This was quite some time ago though. I didn't take any pics of the actual fight though. I've been slacking off on taking pics of everything I do lately, even if it's something important.
All the exp camps in the new zones are soooooo nice. I wonder why they made it so easy to merit now? You can get more xp in these normal parties than you could in a sea blm party killing the avatar's elementals. I can't complain though, I've still got a few merits to finish up.
And to end on a boring note I've been doing a lot of skill up lately....I skilled up my sword on rdm/nin all solo. I'm trying to learn Savage Blade at the moment, but first I had to get Retribution because I had the quest accepted already. That sucked. Since then I've used retribution once, it's pretty, but I can't see me using it over Spirit Taker for anything. I also had to skill up my great sword, which really sucked. I needed to skill it up right around when the expansion came out, and there were no skill up parties. So I took ody's smn and made carby tank some crabs to skill up while I used a level 25 great sword. In this screen I'm taking on a really big mean troll. I was trying to skill up my sword....it didn't go over very well at all. It took me about a half hour to kill him, and I think my DoTs ended up doing more damage than my swords. I think VT++ is definetly pushing it while trying to skill up sword on rdm.
