Weekly Update 11-13-2009

The New mini expansion, A Shantotto Ascension, came out this week. I've done a bit of the missions but haven't really made an effort to push through and finish them up. For one very few people seem to care about it and are actually doing it. With the last 2 mini expansions there were shouts for groups and missions all the time. This one though you see little interest in people wanting to get it done. I don't blame them. If you have some bad luck in crafting the first fetch quest is down right frustrating to complete. There are a few people in the shell that are going to do it though so once we all have some time I suppose I'll get it done.

With that said events on Monday were called off with low attendance from people not getting the download done. We did squeeze in one Cloud Evoker and are going to do the others along with B2 on this coming Monday. Tuesday's was also a no go for events with people still away. This time probably due to Modern Warfare 2 being released.

Wednesday saw things back on track. Did a limbus zone and then salvage afterwards. Limbus was just a chip farming day so nothing much there to say. Salvage we did ZR and took out 2 frogs and the mega. Frogs dropped nothing again. Mega we got too very late in the run and managed to kill it right as time expired. Got 2 drops we needed but no time to lot so they were lost.

Thursday we did some light sky farming as we needed just a few trigs. Afterwards we went and did B1 for a few LS members that still needed it.

DRG leveling been moving along. Keeva brought me to a LS merit party for me to leach some xp. Between that and some decent xp parties I now sit at 74 and only need 16k to hit 75. I'll probably finish that up today but then I have a lot of other things I need to get started on. First I need to do the Fay Lance fight so I actually have a weapon to use at 75. Then I need to make some purchases from the AH. Basically I been saving up for a Sorc ring and some latent triggering gear for it. I'm about 2/3 of the way there so if I take a few days to work on that I can knock it off the list. Then I'll need even more gil to finally get my SAM leveling underway. So a lot of ENM/KSNM/BSNM is what I would like to do next week.

Look at me run!!

Ahhhh yes. Sweet wlegs goodness. Been a long time since I got really excited over a drop but this one was certainly something I've been wanting for a long time. A big thank you to MPTB for being such a great LS.


SO I missed a lot of events this weeks. Einherjar was cancelled since Jye was a no show, Salvage I was actually pretty sick that night so just logged and got some sleep. Did managed some light Sea farming, no torques to report though. Of course there was sky and other than kirin we took out 2 Suzy, a Seriyu, a Genbu, as well as getting some more trigs.

Got to go on the ENM run last night for the first time in a while. Nothing dropped for us though. Also killed xol again but just a hat from him.

Trying to level DRG still. I swear parties are either feast or famine; there is no in-between. Got one that did a pitiful 5k an hour, then the next was doing 15k. Both were around level 60 ish. the 5k an hour the party leader was a smn and tried to play it as a DD and buffer. It just didn't work. Not saying it couldn't have but this smn was just not good. Other party members were BRD WHM turtlePLD(lol) DRG(me) DRK. So basically just 2 people doing any real damage and fights took forever. However I have managed to get to 70 now and about halfway to 71. Today is a free day so unless I decide to do some ENM/KS/BS fights I plan to spend most of it xping. Would love to hit 72 but of course that depends on how much feasting I get today.
