Note: Kolchak is permanently on my stupid list. He runs in and pops everything in Jeuno after we win. The forty minutes we had to farm was wasted since we couldn't farm after that. He's also on my ppl to hate list now.

Dynamis runs are canceled until further notice.




/sigh

After parting with this person several times over the course of a couple weeks, I've decided I don't like he/she/it/goat. I'm willing to let the whole RDM/SMN thing go as any subjob has it's uses under the right circumstances. But RDM/SMN is a bit no-no in the mire. (it usually got another mage to do the main healing thing, I was BRD,  and it made the party.)

Anyway; biggest pet peeve about this person is it's way of delegating replacement members. In the most recent party WAR#1 gave 20-30m notice, it's response? My friend wants to join, ask her.  WTH?!  First of all, IT is leader, and it's IT's FRIEND. I don't get it.

Guess I should explain my perceptions a bit. Leader makes party, it's party leader's responsibility to replace members(or decide when to disband) NOT the party member itself.  The one time I had to leave it's party, (Well, it started out with Hatage inviting me, I said I didn't have very long but got invited anyway). Harle sends me tells about who to rep myself with, jobs etc. Person gave up leader then still decides to BE leader. Even though it started said party, it gave up lead to go use the bathroom. Anyway, I wasn't happy about that.

Most recent party was a merit party. i'm the only BRD. I'm 72. WHM and WAR are 74. It comes DRK and a 75WAR to finish. Didn't have good prospects to begin with (Meripo is incredibly hard on WHM, gear/merits/etc help make it better). WHM is Elvaan with less than 700 MP. I check him. And gag. AF, Blessed Briault, no grip, no back, Friar's Rope, onyx earring, signal pearl, emp band, Saintly Ring, and a morion tathlum. Apparently Ginta doesn't take WHM all that seriously.

Oh, oh. Harl just dc'd out of it's own party. Perfect ending.

I haven't had a real update in awhile, so we'll see what I can remember.

According to my last post, I got my first piece of PLD relic. Not real excited about it since I sold all my PLD gear about a week ago. Decided to just wait and revive it with relic and sky pieces. This makes my first piece of commented relic with my new Dyna LS.

As far as leveling goes, BRD is 71 thanks to a four hour Mamook party and a few Campaign Ops. BLM is 43 thanks to some duo'ing in Cape Terrigan with Aeisor last night. RDM's buffer is capped again thanks to a low man manaburn in Mount Zhaylom (where I learned how sucky RDM nuking is compared to BLM. Though Blizzard III and Thunder III did some nice damage.)

Did a bunch of quests yesterday and this morning attempted Scouting the Ashau Talif. We wiped on wave 14 (fomor, imps, and NM), but we're confident we can beat it next time. Other quests included a bunch of the running around types, I now have Retrace <3

I'm rank 10 all nations, something I've wanted for awhile now. I'm so happy to be San d'Orian again. Jumped in on a AM35 shout and have all the CSs done to get on with AM42 BCNM. I have Shadows of the Departed flagged and dreading doing that solo so I'm stuck on waiting until I can grab a few ppl to climb towers. Assaults are going much smoother now that our third is LC. Two more new wins and both she and I will rank up.

Taru count is down to four, due to one quitting and another for RL issues won't be on for 'weeks'. That leaves us with the three core members and a fourth who leveled beyond the static and whom the static is just catching up to.  If nothing else we can low man static BLMs, DRGs, BSTs, PUPs, DNC... actually could low man on any of the BST guides or pet guides. NIN + Healer + DD + Support > most things.

Since I plan on meriting BRD once I get it to 75, I've decided to figure out just what to merit first. I've got a lot of choices and it's always easier if I just write things out.

1. MP (4/8)
2. Critical Hit Rate (2/4)
3. Ice Accuracy [RDM] (2/5)
4. Convert Recast [RDM] (2/5)
5. Bio III [RDM] (1/3)
6. Slow II [RDM] (0/3)
7. Enfeebling Merits (2/8)
8. Elemental Merits (2/8)

That at least will finish all the ones I have started. It doesn't even get into WAR, PLD, or BRD merits. Though I probably should put some into BRD, and get Chivalry at the very least. If I kept going with merits it would look something  like this:

1. Lullaby [BRD] (0/5)
2. Minuet [BRD] (0/5)
3. Troubadour [BRD] (0/3)
4. Nightingale [BRD] (0/3)
5. Chivalry [PLD] (0/3)
6. Double Attack [WAR] (0/5)
7. Warcry [WAR] (0/1)
8. Aggressor [WAR] (0/2)
9. Berserk [WAR] (0/2)
10. Savagery [WAR] (0/3)
11. Warrior's Charge (0/3)
12. Sentinel [PLD] (0/5)
13. Guardian [PLD] (0/3)
14. Rampart [PLD] (0/3)
15. Evasion (0/4)
16. Parrying (0/4)
17. INT (0/5)

Of course by this point I would probably have BLM to 75 and need merits for that, luckily that's the easy part.

1. Ice Accuracy [BLM] (0/5)
2. Lightning Accuracy [BLM] (0/5)
3. Freeze II [BLM] (0/3)
4. Burst II [BLM] (0/3)

That is a lot of freaking merits.  Well, at least I have an idea . Too bad I'll die before I see BLM merits.2

Got my Yigit Gomlek.

There's probably tons of other stuff I'm forgetting I'm sure. But that's the main stuff. Still working out in my head what exactly I'm doing in game right now. (Assault Static/Missions/BRD/Aeisor wants to level BLM and I want to duo it/Woodworking/LS events).  I'm keeping busy on my main, my  Taru got her last Kazham key last night.  Gonna leave her  in Sandy  to hopefully  do a few more quests.
