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.

Small Update for the week

SAM up to 70 now. Only 5 more levels left but man my gear sucks for SAM. Its the first job since i Leveld RDM that i have no good gear waiting on me for the high levels. I mean i got a brutal earring i guess but thats it. 70 i really look gimp since I dont have a O hat and the only thing to use really is a Siphari Turban and, if there is ever one on the AH, the JSE head. The rest of my stuff is ok and I can upgrade to dusk at 72 but still its kinda bleh. Oh well it was meant to be leveled for fun anyways and i'll still probably merit on DRG.

Lets see did a few small things this past week nothing major and no new drops to talk about. I did join up with a Friday Einherjar group and they seem pretty good. Beat a t2 with ease and I got about 10k ampoules so a few more weeks and I can get another item. Not sure which to get though. WIll either be a Morgana Choker for my sorc ring set /MP build or the melee one, Iota ring. This would be more DEX anyways for penta/drakesbane.

There is more going on but nothing i want to get into right now. Got another Tinin set for tonight and maybe I can get the guys to squeeze in a Wulrugu for a shot at the ACC and ATT +8 head for SAM.

Lots to do Still

I had planned on making a nice big year in review type post but just didnt have time. It was a good 2009 and this BLOG saw more post from me than any previous year. Shit got done, things happened and now life goes on. There that's the review you get stuck with now.

On to recent events. So mostly we had a dry couple of weeks with the holidays. Did do a few dyna zones but just doing cities so its all kinda meh and i been having to afk through half the run with my baby. The LS has decided to move on from sky more or less now. YAY. Was hoping for this in the last post and now we going to do it very sparingly. This week we started ZNM's back up and we are going to push a few more people through COP to have more available to help us out in sea which will be something we focus alot more attention on. We got 5 more people up to 4-3 now so few more weeks then its SEA time.

Been leveling SAM when I can and it sits at 67 right now. Finally got a good GK WS to use. Tachi: Yuki and Geko are decent enough to let me play around with soboro and keep it skilled up without as big a drop off switching from polearm. If doing anything but birds, like we mixed in some date eruca's in last party, then the GK does better for me but only because of all the ws spamming. I have a feeling though that i'll be using mostly polearm espically since a hagun is not too high on my list right now and i need a much better str build for GK. Not to mention getting a good penta build for sam is just easier for me to get. I was excited to start SAM because of the Soboro but find that the days it was good for are long gone. Still a fun toy to have but polearm is just too good not to use in most parties.

75 SAM

Hissho Hachimaki
SAM AF (meh i need to start this)
