Welcome!!

Welcome to my ffxi blog. Hope you enjoy your stay. I try and post at least once a month, sometimes more. I blog mainly about what I been up to and what my goals are in game. It's a nice way to keep me on track and show how I have progressed.

Still around

Yea so its been several weeks since my last post. Just haven't felt like typing anything up really. Been a lot harder to find time as well as works has had a lot of stuff going on so my time has been limited. Anyways on to the post.

Its been so long I forget what I haven't posted about so I guess I'll just try and touch on anything major in the last few month's. First off in salvage I got all the drops for my cuffs and now have some nice Morrigans hands to go along with the body I had. I really like this piece with the MAB and of course the MACC on it as well. It eliminates a few hand gears I had and no real need I think to want to grab the Master caster bracelets, especially since I been this long without them already. I got 19 total MAB in gear right now, not that great but I can grab an ugly pendant and boost that up sometime down the line.

In limbus I'm sitting at 4/5 homam now lacking only the feet. This combined with my other gear gives me 15% haste equip on my PLD. In addition I picked up leveling DRK again and will be taking it to 75 as soon as possible. Can't wait to try out all the haste stuff on a big DD job. DRK is up to 70 now and rising as I try to get xp anyway I can on it at least a little every day.

My Nyzul group is cleared up to floor 55 now. Not bad, but I still have no luck getting any gear from here. I'm the only one without a single piece despite several attempts on boss floors just for me only to get other stuff and not Goliard. I don't care that much as I don't find the gear to be all that great compared to what I already have. Floor 54 brings the WS points I need to unlock the WS down to 2400. I got 1700ish on the pld sword and am just going to stop and let it unlock with a floor 60 clear. I'll work on RDM and DRK weapon after my DRK hits 75.

Lastly I joined up with a SKY/SEA/ZNM/KSNM LS run by the same people I do limbus with. Its a very good group and I have been getting a lot done. This puts me back on the map for getting some much needed and overdue gear. wlegs, justice sword, some zenith stuff, heca stuff for pld and drk, the list goes on of stuff I need. Nice to finally have a LS to do that with on a consistent basis. So far I got a genbu's shield (lol can't believe I never had one of these yet) and some heca feet. Many people in the ls have been in it a long time and have a lot of the gear already so the waiting list on things isn't too bad.

I think i'm beginning to burn out a bit on RDM. Well not so much RDM burn out just with the repetitive stuff I do. Like salvage as RDM several times a week is getting old. I think going as another job a few times to get a different experience would be nice. And of course I've sworn off Merit parties on RDM. Just can't handle the boredom. Refresh and haste bot is all the job seems to be anymore and that's just not fun. Let me do more things like I do in limbus and BCNM/KSNM and I'm all for jumping on my RDM and showing what I can do. For the most part though the job has grown stale and needs a change.

On the reverse side of things I am absolutely loving my DRK. Its like playing a whole new game really being a DD doing WS's and using various other skills in battle applications. I always wanted to level a DD for versatility and I am very happy I finally did. Hoping to hit 75 in the next few weeks bumming some merit parties form LS friends. I'll never be as pimp on DRK as I am on RDM from a gear standpoint since I have so much for RDM and many things for DRK are either down right expensive (KC) or very rare and need a HNM shell for (adaberk). However, I sure am having a lot more fun on it. Maybe when SE finally makes some changes to RDM I'll be able to dive into the job with renewed fervor, until then i'm going to be DRK and leveling other jobs to fill the void.
