Most of this was explained in a previous post but I'll explain some of it again anyway. Since getting Dragoon to 75 I've been trying to skill up polearm to cap, I had it at ~200 something from WAR, and I had a few Mire parties to help keep it up. It still isn't at cap but I'm working on it as you can see.

I have a job, where as I've been unemployed for the last 11months. I haven't died, I'm not quitting or anything. I've just acquired some more priorities. Training will be done within the next couple of days and then I'll have some rather normal part-time hours which I can sort my life around and start getting back to normal.

Although I have bought the expansion, I have not started on it yet. I've heard a lot of horror stories about it so far, which doesn't help my procrastination. RNG is still sitting at 74, but I think I'm just going to Campaign it to 75 and get a buffer that way. Either that or abuse Besieged and get some skill ups.

The one free day I had this week I spent in a SMN burn, I ended up finishing Enfeebling merits off just in time for Dyna-Xarc (which was a death fest). I've got screenshots but I'll post some of that stuff later when I'm not so tired. The rest of the time I've spent on a mule trying to sell things while I'm busy catching up with housework.

I'll start with the big news, as of a boss run in Bhaflau Remnants yesterday I am now 3/3 Ares Body. It's not really that big of a deal for my group, I think it's our sixth complete Ares Body and I ended up with all the pieces free lot. No plans on upgrading it just yet, mostly because of the 15,240,000 price tag. I do want to upgrade it though, but since I have Marduk's stored and that is actually the stuff I want to upgrade, Ares is on hold unless I come into a large sum of money.

Other Salvage news: Like any group we lose people on occasion and replace them on occasion. This past week the leader asked a few people to join us. Now I don't have a problem with Canabi, another was turned away because he didn't have any jobs we could use. The third one is what caused an upset with me personally.

Firedragon is a recent server transfer from godnowswhere. He joined my Dyna LS for a week then stopped coming without a word to us. Seriously, I would much rather the person say "YOU GUYS SUCK ! I'M LEAVING!" rather than say nothing and don't show up. I guess not everyone thinks like that though. It turns out he joined Hexa (I think, and that's whole other kettle of fish I won't go into) and since our Salvage leader is in Hexa and FD has Salvage experience he let him in.

Now I sent an email saying what happened in my Dyna LS and that if the leaders were willing to vouch that he wouldn't flake like he did in Dyna I'd be fine with it.  We need people and he has experience, np right? This is where I actually start to get annoyed. Another member (not a leader) sends an email back basically stating: "He left because of all the death, I've heard some bloody stories about your LS". First of all, what does that have to do with anything? The only thing it did was annoy me, why did he even mention it?

Oh and apparently you can put things on your list that you can't wear yet (Salvage works by Wish Lists) and can change your items whenever you feel like it. If that's the case I don't have to feel bad about free lotting Skadi, that's one of the sets no one is really interested in. I'm wondering why I bothered leveling RNG so I COULD lot the stuff. Meh, anyway.

What this all boils down to is: I like Salvage, but this group isn't enough to keep my interest if they're going to be silly. Silly by inviting someone that flaked on Dyna and me giving my two cents and getting an unrelated email back for my troubles. Silly by being able to lot on things you can't wear. Silly by inviting people no one has vouched for yet. >.>

I'll keep doing Salvage, but if Dyna dies it wont' be enough to stop me from switching servers. I think I've said it before, Dyna is what's holding me to Carbuncle. I have friends here and all that , but I've also learned that it's easy to keep up with them with things like skype and facebook. Really not bothered about that. There isn't a GMT friendly endgame LS that I have any interest in joining either. I'll also note that at this time there are things IRL restricting my game actions. But meh, we'll see what happens.

Since nothing major has happened recently, I'll give you an update on Dynamis, sort of. We had an epic Dyna-Beau on Halloween. Full Moon. Not a lot of people on, so we decided to have some fun and mana burn it. From my last post you'll note I ended up with two new bodies to add to my collection, so I decided to do a recap.
