More of the Same

I hate being poor. Just thought I’d throw that out there. I have been dangerously low on gil for a while now and have been just getting by scraping up enough for events and food to party with. I need to fix that soon as now that my PLD is nearing its leveling end, I will need to focus on another job that will take a lot more funds.


On to my recent accomplishments. So I have been level grinding PLD a lot lately (and mostly with Pusarah and Marlow so that’s nice) and these last 6 days have been no different. I mentioned last time I was only 800 xp from 72 so of course I got that. I didn’t stop there though. I got level 73 yesterday and I’m 10k into the level. Getting ever so close to level 75.

Upon dinging 73 I knew I was in need of some equipment upgrades. First it was past time for me to get a defensive head piece. Believe it or not, I haven’t had a defensive piece for the head slot since about level 50. I haven’t needed one either but now that my PLD may be called upon to do things other than xp I need to start getting ready. Of course to do this I needed some gil since I have next to none. So very reluctantly I sold 10 of my ancient beastcoins for 120k total. I took this and bought the adaman head piece for 80k. I then sold my generals shield for 111k and am going to buy a Koenig shield for 170k leaving me with about 70k total in funds. Yikes!

That should get the basics done for PLD purchases but I still need to get a normal tanking earring and stop being lazy and go camp a Jelly ring for my second ring slot. Once those 2 are done I’m more or less done with going after PLD stuff except for Dynamis and upgrading my feet to AF+1.

So as I mentioned I sold 10 of my ancient beastcoins. This was really tough since after my run yesterday I was at 26 and needed just 4 more to get my RDM Tabard +1. It was tough but I figure I could wait one more week anyways since I’ve not been doing anything much with RDM other than Limbus and Dynamis which I don’t need the upgrade for anyways. So with the current rate of coins I should have enough by next Friday and then come the following Monday I can pick up my shiny new tabard. After that its upgrade my PLD feet for only 20 more coins , and I have half the materials for that already, then a brutal earring for 75 coins and that’s it for coin purchases I think for a long while. Actually, after I upgrade my tabard I think I’m going to end up selling half of my runs coins each time to just help fund future runs. I’m in no big hurry for the PLD feet or brutal so I can take it nice and slow and help ease the cost while I’m at it.

I have Dynamis tonight and I believe we are supposed to do jeuno. So hopefully I’ll have a bit of luck and some RDM legs will drop and I can lot them. This has been for me in the past the least dropping piece I have seen odd as that may sound. I really feel weird having my Duelist chapeau now with almost no other relic armor. I have had the hat now for almost a year and I get asked all the time by people if I am 5/5 Relic. Most people are shocked to hear I am only at 2/5. The legs will be nice for an elemental magic setup for nuking hard things so it has some uses. The gloves are still going to be blah but I would like to have them. And of course the body would be great for the fast cast. Oh yea, and then I could still use some PLD pieces too so if those drop and I can lot that would be nice. So yea still a lot of Dynamis ahead for me. Once I get in a better gil situation I may suggest or ask if the LS minded if I ran a Friday run since we only go once a week as it is now. That however is going to be a long way off on my list of things to do.
