August Update

Past time for another update. Can’t believe its been a whole month since I got the Joyeuse.

So I’ve fallen into a bit of a routine lately. I got so many events scheduled now its hard not to. Monday is Limbus and Einharjer (however the hell you spell it). Tuesday is Salvage and then when its over I try to get down and Help out PNB with sea/sky or whatever they got planed. Wednesday is salvage again and soon to be Nyzul. Thursday is more limbus and late night Sky. Friday is salvage and then a late ENM. So yea that’s a pretty full schedule.

With what little free time I have, I spend it mostly farming some (still paying off my ingot loan) and then doing a bit of campaign. There is another updated schedule early in september (if I had to guess id say it will happen on the 8th) and I am hopefull they introduce the last piece of the Iron ram set, the body, that I can pick up. However, I had used up most my points so I need to build them back up hence doing more Campaign again. Back up to 40k AN and I’m figuring going to need about 75k to at most 100k for the body piece.

The other thing I been doing is finally leveling up my nin subjob. That’s right I been 75 RDM for well over 3 years and my nin still not 37. I know its very useful at times but those timea are far fewer than most RDM use it for. Its really only beneficial if you are soloing a very hard hitting mob, a mob you don’t want to give tp, and in some but not all melee situations. Far to many rdm slap on /nin when it really has no merit for the situation and you would be better served going something else like /war for damage or /blu for high defense and making shadows unneeded in the first place.

I do however really need the sub for my PLD. A lot of tanking nowadays at the endgame level is done with /nin and having a lot of haste gear. I never had much haste gear so it made this style of tanking something I couldn’t do. I mean I could by some dusk stuff for haste but you really need a swift belt and some homam to make it happen. Well now that I have some of that stuff its become a real possibility for me. Got the swift belt a while back, rebought the dusk gloves, had the wal-mart turbin, and then last Monday I got the homam pants. In total I have 15% haste in gear so now its time to focus on the /nin tanking setup meaning I actually need to level nin up. Got it to 35 now so one more xp party and its done. Just need to get the NI scroll and I am all set. Going to need to BCNM it though since most my gil still going to ingot payback.

Not much else going on other than I got another 35 drop from salvage. It’s the hands making my debate over what I really wanted to upgrade next a null point. Hands are very good and I was leaning that way so it all turned out well. We went after the Boss that drops the 25 and managed to kill it. It was our first time fighting it and was not the cleanest of fights but we did manage to pull through. Didn’t drop the hands but it got some other needed 25’s for the LS. So grats to them.
