Before I jump straight into my WS gear at 75 I just want to mention that since I was snowed in and couldn't come in to work I worked from home. Yes, I actually did get some work done from home but I also got some leveling done while I was home. I didn't get 1 nor 2 levels on SAM, but 3 levels. Technically I got just over 2 levels since I was only about 600 til 69 when I stopped exping on Tuesday, but I can still toot my own horn and say 3 levels yesterday.
Hitting 71 is kind of big because that now opens up some gear and more options for me. One big piece of TP gear for now is my O Hat which is huge for ACC since I'm only using a STR+3 head piece right now. The other option it opens up for me is skilling up my GK high enough to work on Tachi: Kasha. What is really nice about this is that to create darkness I can use Screamineagle and do Swift Blade > Tachi: Gekko so I should be able to cruise to Tachi: Kasha pretty quickly. This also brings me 1 level shy of Hagun which should be a huge upgrade for me since I've been using Soboro since I got back to SAM. lol
SAM WS gear that is reasonable for me will probably go as follows.
Weapon: Hagun
Grip: Pole Grip
Ranged: Tiphia Sting (or Elvaan Sachet)
Head: Wyvern Helm
Neck: Chivalrous Chain (or sea gorgets)
Ear 1/2: Brutal Earring/Storm Loop...../Bushinomimi
Body: Kirin's Osode
Hands: Hachiman Kote (or Myochin Kote+1)
Ring 1/2: Rajas Ring/Flame Ring
Back: Amemet Mantle +1
Waist: Potent Belt (once GK is merited, Warwolf Belt)
Legs: Shura Haidate
Feet: Fourth Schuhs (Askar Gamieras but Rutter Sabatons are best)
There is not much on this list that shouldn't make sense right off the bat because it is basically just overloaded with STR. For the most part, STR is all I really need for my SAM WSs. As for adding up the total gil needed for stuff that wasn't included in my TP gear post, Wyvern Helm (30k), Kirin's Osode (2M or LS points), Hachiman Kote (50k), Flame Ring (500k), Shura Haidate (420k), and Fourth Schuhs (free). Rutter Sabatons I can't include on the gil item list because it is a drop from an NM so the expense would be getting the pop item which can be a wide range for the cost.
Total gil cost for WS gear not including TP gear: 3,000,000
Total gil cost for all SAM gear at 75: 6,981,000
OUCH!!!! If I spent that much on all my SAM gear I would be almost total tapped for gil. This isn't even for the uber gear like Hauby+1 either. There are a few spots that gil could be really cut out but I guess we will just have to see what I really feel like when I hit 75. One big cut could be me getting a Kirin's Osode from LS points which knocks 2M off the list. Another big cut could be getting a Ruby Ring instead of a Flame Ring which would knock off about 470k. Just between those 2 items right there that is almost 2.5M off my WS gear list. Now that I am thinking about it, maybe I should just stick with the Ruby Ring instead of the Flame ring since there is only 1 STR difference.
I guess I should look at realistically what I plan on spending on SAM between both sets of gear: Wyvern Helm (30k), Hachiman Kote (50k), Ruby Ring (30k), Shura Haidate (420k), Hagun(3.1M), Pole Grip(36k), and Brutal Earring(~525k, 7k/coin). Which brings my SAM total to: 4,191,000. That is much more reasonable especially considering 3/4 of that is still just Hagun which is resellable.
Spending all of this gil on my SAM will definitely motivate me to go make more gil for myself because I hate not having at least a couple million gil on me. I am one to save gil and not to take the risks of buying my uber gear then getting bored with it and selling it back. To me that is just a waste of the AH taxes that you are spending on it. Anyways, I know a few things I want to do to get some gil going for myself but we shall have to see how that pans out because I know its going to be a pain to get the right people to go with us.
This evening I am going to try one of my options for gil making before sky and hope that works out for me. Then it'll be up to sky for more Kirins and all that jazz. Tonight will be my last night of gaming until Sunday since I am going to visit my gf this weekend. Hopefully next week I can crank out my last few levels on SAM and then get all my required items for it.

SAM TP Gear
As I didn't get any leveling done on SAM last night I am kinda sad. It was relatively uneventful in sky because now that we don't really want W Legs as much Kirin is poopin them out like its his job. The problem is that he's not shooting out N Bodies which is possibly the 2nd most wanted r/ex item for us in sky now because everyone is getting W Legs. Haidates are coming pretty well too since we did get to sell one this week already.
Anyways, back to what I really want to talk about ... SAM TP build (@75 of course). The gear I use until 75 is rather unimportant because it is all just going to change quickly anyways. I guess I should just list the gear and then explain why I chose this stuff afterwards.
Weapon: Hagun
Grip: Pole Grip
Ranged: Tiphia Sting (or Elvaan Sachet if I can ever get ahold of it 0/8)
Head: Walahra Turban
Neck: Peacock Charm
Ear 1/2: Brutal Earring/Storm Loop...../Bushinomimi
Body: Haubergeon
Hands: Dusk Gloves (pre 5/5 Store TP) / Hachiman Kote (5/5 Store TP)
Ring 1/2: Rajas Ring/Jaeger Ring
Back: Amemet Mantle +1
Waist: Swift Belt
Legs: Byakko's Haidate
Feet: Fuma Sune-Ate (Usukane Sune-Ate)
Most of the gear is probably pretty easy to understand. The only gear that I would actually have to get is Hagun(3.1M), Pole Grip(36k), Brutal Earring(~525k, 7k/coin), Dusk Gloves(320k), and trade in my Fuma Kyahan for Fuma Sune-Ate(+200k). So I'm looking somewhere in the range of about 4M to really complete my SAM to the extent that I want it for TP gear, and over 3/4 of it is just Hagun. Guess that means I really need to get back in the swing of doing that ENM.
Now just to clarify something that may be confusing is my hands slot. The purpose for the change in gear once I am 5/5 Store TP is for the 6 hit set up for SAM which is amazing. In order to get enough Store TP to make it possible I either have to go overboard with Store TP or wait until I have it merited. Now, Dusk Gloves are great before having 5/5 Store TP since the Haste will do more than the STP +8. Once capping STP, Haste+3% doesn't even compare to the 1 less swing of your GK that you would do with the Hachiman Kote so I would definitely save money once I have that merited because the Kote are A LOT less expensive. Whew, glad I could get this off of my chest because it was bugging me that I didn't realize I didn't account for the 6-hit setup.
There are 2 items on that list that I would like that I didn't list above, Bushinomimi and Usukane Sune-Ate. Bushi is really so I can round out a STR+2 earring and have the extra GK skill. Also, the Suppa that I have I almost NEVER use anymore because I never melee with 2 weapons anymore so replacing it is no big deal. Then Usukane Sune-Ate would be great because of the Store TP, accuracy, and attack, but I do realize that this is kind of a pipe dream because any group that I join is going to have people looking for those already and I'd much prefer to get morrigan gear over those.
I also excluded some items from this list that I feel just aren't worth it for me to get because it wouldn't be a good use of my time and gil. Some of those items inclue Hauby +1, Justice Torque, and Ace's Helm/Askar Zuccheto. The Askar is the most reasonable piece for me to get but I just don't see it happening because any group I've gone with almost always says free lot on Goliard or Denali but not Askar because the person going on the run wants it for himself. So realistically I would have to wait for one of my own friends to get up that high and go with them ... cough, thanks for leaving Swifman, cough. :P
Current total gil needed for SAM(not including extra money from Fuma): 3,981,000 gil
Tonight I may actually skip sky just so I can level my SAM since I didn't yesterday at all. I would also really like to get some good sleep tonight because I am really tired and I can't handle not sleeping much anymore. Although I do have this funny feeling that I'm going to be suckered into going up because they will probably be short a BRD for Kirin. Guess as always we will have to wait and see...

Cap on Hold
Now that I've hit and surpassed my level 66 goal for SAM I am putting Maat's Cap on hold. Guess that means its still blitz to 75 for SAM time. So all free time in FFXI will still remain devoted to SAM and hopefully just exping in the East Ron [S] bird camp since I have discovered that basically no camp can really compare to it pre-merit parties.
I am getting more and more excited about getting SAM to 75 though because it will be exciting to have a job to really be a strong DD as opposed to my kinda gimp WAR. Even when my SAM hits 75 I will still have a lot of work to do on it merit wise though. As of right now I can't put any merits into anything worthwhile for SAM except more STR merits but I swore off STR merits until I got at least a good number of merits into my other jobs that I use more, like BLM, RDM, or BRD. I'll get back to merits later though. For SAM I am really thinking about trying to get an Air Tank now to so I can get me a pair of Rutter Sabatons. This would be a huge upgrade for my SAM because as of right now I'm just weapon skilling in my Fuma Kyahan which is totally worthless. As of right now I don't think there are any other pieces of gear I want because most will become worthless by the time I am not level syncing anymore. I will probably end up level syncing to 37 or to 55 because of the great exp that you can get at the bird camps at those levels, really nothing else can compare. So really the Fourth Haube Set is totally worthless for me since there are better pieces in the 70s with the exception of Rutter Sabatons at 67.
Now getting back to merits, which normally I would just say look at the merits sheet on my google docs but none of you have access besides Khrone and Disdain, I think I will lay out the merits I want.
1) RDM: Ice Magic Accuracy - 5 merits til complete
2) SAM: GK skill - at least a few before moving on to some others
3) SAM: Store TP - 5 which would take me to cap on this
4) SAM: Overwhelm - 3 because after that the increase drops from 5% to 2%
5) SAM: Meditate - 5
6) SAM: Shikikoyo - 1 just to have it for now
7) SAM: Blade Bash - 1 just to have it for now
8) RDM: Convert - 3 (maybe 4)
9/10) BRD: Minuet/Madrigal - 4/3 keep raising which ever is cheaper to raise next
11) SAM: GK skill - til capped
12) SAM: Overwhelm - 2 ... capped
LAST) STR - til capped
Making this list has brought me to some conclusions, WAR and BLM are not going to be merited anymore unless necessary. I really have no drive to do either of them right now and if I leave WAR alone that means I don't have to spend the gil on uncursing my Heca gear for now unless I decide to break out like a DD BRD or something. This kind of gives me a refreshing look on what I actually want to do because it really knocked 2 jobs out that I wasn't really looking forward to meriting anyways.
As far as gear for my SAM I think I will leave that to tomorrow and possibly the next day because I may lay it all out for TPing and then WSing. Hehe, even though I really want to start putting that together right now.
Tonight I have early basketball so when I get back I will try to throw together an exp party and crank out another level on SAM I suppose. Also, knowing that I'm not really pressured into being on time every night and staying until the end in sky anymore is rather a good feeling because then I could spend a little more of the early time leveling SAM and then coming up and doing sky a little late.

IIIIIIIIII'm the BEST!!!!
You got it dude, on 1/22/2009, my 2nd char Screamineagle got W Legs! BOOM BABY!!! I can't believe that I seriously got another pair of W Legs in this LS, that is REDICULOUS!!!!!! So I think I've decided I want to stay with this shell a little longer because well, its so damn awesome to keep getting all this great gear and gil! Ok, I think I'm done with exclamation points now.
Anyways, Khrone also got his Byakko's Haidate so he's like one of them real monks now with Destroyers, Shura Togi, AND Byakko's Haidate. Now he just needs a few more minor upgrades and one HUGE one, Black Belt, and his monk should be done except for merits. This was a great day though to see him finally get Haidate since he was waiting for so effing long while being in 1st place. But congrats again bro.
I'm still in shock that I got Screamin W Legs last night since I had to wait FOREVER for W Legs in every other LS (which I never got them in). Now I've gotten 2x W Legs, D Body, and B Haidate in this LS ... WOW. Definitely have accomplished more in this LS than I have in any other LS I've been in and I've only been in this LS for like 3 or 4 months. It will be kind of a pain to get the other pieces that I want now because that W Legs really set me back in points. I am not really worried about it though because everything else I get in this LS is just gravy. Honestly, I've gotten everything that I wanted from this LS already but there is just still so much of a potential to get every piece of worth while sky gear that I can't pass it up. It has even crossed my mind to getting some more abjurations for Screamin too to finish off his monk and ninja. We shall just have to wait and see how everything turns out I guess and see if Kirin starts putting out N Bodies and Osodes because those and Haidate are the 3 more wanted items in sky now. Heh, I just realized all 3 are on my list too because I'd like to get a Haidate for Screamin's NIN and MNK. lmao Oh the greatness that is LolFail...
As for me and it being the weekend and I have nothing planned for this weekend except an oil change for my car tomorrow I guess its crack out to SAM weekend. I REALLY want to hit 70 this weekend but I know it will be very hard to get because lately I just haven't had any luck with parties. What I am thinking though is an LS East Ronfaure [S] party with a 6th member that we abuse for level sync. This would be a grand idea because we could easily blow through levels like its nothing. Heck, if we got a DNC in our party I could even see me abusing Screamin on 37RDM to instead of PL, level sync with. Oh, and I think I've decided that I would like to try to get Screamin's RDM to 75 now because he already has W Legs and having 2xRDM/NIN with W Legs is just pwnage. Pipe dreams are great aren't they?!
Weekend realistic goal: SAM to 68
Weekend wanted goal: SAM to 70 (and then the real fun with SAM begins because of all the new gear I geat!!!)

Hybriddelever
I mean Hybridkiller, deleveled last night for 1 reason and 1 reason alone ... stupidity. Now you might be thinking that I am talking about his stupidity but I am not. There was just always 1 person not following directions and breaking bind on Zip. Here's something you might be thinking; Zip isn't too hard, you can either zerg him with melee or solo him as a RDM/NIN. You are correct in your thinking right here, but when you don't have enough to zerg him and no RDM/NIN it can be difficult because everyone thinks they know how to do everything aaaaaaaaaaand they don't.
When I first got up to sky they had already claimed Zip and were attempting to kill him by nuke/zoning, another good strategy for doing Zip. Well, when by the time I got there they had wiped to where I figured they would've wiped in the middle of the stairs or so. Nope, they wiped at the zone. It was pretty funny actually because Mac can solo almost every NM in sky but yet with half an alliance they wiped to Zip (w/o Mac is to be noted). So we raise up and try Zip again. Everything is going smoothly until people started just nuking at will JUST after a bind landed leaving no time for the recast timer to cool down. Then people were all standing gathered together right at the zone line where the BLMs are trying to zone out making it hard for them and also painful for themselves because Zip has 3 AoE moves that can do some serious damage. Apparently people don't realize that you are supposed to kite Zip after the BLMs nuke and zone since they were all trying to keep him at the first turn right by the zone. I had to drop a few luckily unresisted Blizzard III's before I got hate locked on me and was able to kite him away from everyone else. I even got to bring him all the way down the stairs so when the BLMs zoned back in they wouldn't have to worry about gettin whooped on while resting and getting a feel for where Zip was.
This is how Zip should be done using the nuke/zone technique, let the RDMs get some hate so they can kite effectively. Then let the BLMs nuke and zone because they will obviously get lots of hate from their nukes. No problem with letting Zip try to chase down the BLMs as they zone out because all that does is give the RDMs time to get some distance between themselves and Zip so they can rebuff and be prepared to bind. Once I had hate and was able to pull Zip away from everyone else it moved much more smoothly because there was much more space to work with and less people around Zip to mess up bind. Hopefully that was a learning experience for the newer people in the LS.
Another little problem after that was at SC when we were sleeping the detectors to let it try to pop SC. Well someone decided not to turn off autotarget and then attacked the detector. There were 2 DRGs with us and they tried to claim it wasn't them when it was obviously one of them since there was a wyvern attacking the detector. Then out of nowhere, after having the detector slept with like 1/4 health, someone just turns and kills the detector ... wtf?! We had only killed 2 pops from the detector at that point and to be honest I wasn't so pleased because I was the one pulling. Anyways, on the next detector we got SC to pop on like the 2nd try.
Overall it was a pretty good farming day for the LS. I believe we got Zip, BB, Olla, 2xUlli, MG, SC, Faust, and Despot. Hehe, now that I look at that, that is a full god set which also is a Kirin set. Not too shabby for a regular farming night.
Oh, yesterday I also put in an app to HellsBells for Dynamis because I figured I would at least give it a try. As of now there have been 30 views of it but only 1 comment. They are making comments on another guy's app still that had been accepted a couple days ago though. Throw me a friggin bone here, I'm trying to get in the LS for tonight's Dynamis. Oh well, guess that means I will just have more time to level my SAM tonight.
Speaking of SAM, I did a little duoing with Hybrid yesterday on Goblin pets in Gustav Tunnel and it was just unfair to those pets. There were a few pets that only landed 1 hit on us before it died which means it got 3 swings off. I think we may try doing some more duoing on Goblin pets because it was pretty good exp and we weren't having any trouble with them. Screamineagle was sitting there in case something went wrong like a Goblin link or something but other than that he really only saved us some time resting.
Tonight I have a wake to go to which will take up the early part of my night, but then since I have yet to hear anything about HellsBells Dynamis I will just go level SAM. Hopefully I can hit 66 or if I'm really lucky 67 tonight. I just want some more progress on SAM because I want to be 70 by the end of this weekend. Once I hit 70 I am going to be all jittery because I will have 75 in sight and from 70 to 75 I have a lot of gear upgrades that I am excited about. Well, off to stare at the gear I will be getting from 70 to 75 and reading more about Store TP and see what I need to take off an extra swing to get 100 TP.

When I first got up to sky they had already claimed Zip and were attempting to kill him by nuke/zoning, another good strategy for doing Zip. Well, when by the time I got there they had wiped to where I figured they would've wiped in the middle of the stairs or so. Nope, they wiped at the zone. It was pretty funny actually because Mac can solo almost every NM in sky but yet with half an alliance they wiped to Zip (w/o Mac is to be noted). So we raise up and try Zip again. Everything is going smoothly until people started just nuking at will JUST after a bind landed leaving no time for the recast timer to cool down. Then people were all standing gathered together right at the zone line where the BLMs are trying to zone out making it hard for them and also painful for themselves because Zip has 3 AoE moves that can do some serious damage. Apparently people don't realize that you are supposed to kite Zip after the BLMs nuke and zone since they were all trying to keep him at the first turn right by the zone. I had to drop a few luckily unresisted Blizzard III's before I got hate locked on me and was able to kite him away from everyone else. I even got to bring him all the way down the stairs so when the BLMs zoned back in they wouldn't have to worry about gettin whooped on while resting and getting a feel for where Zip was.
This is how Zip should be done using the nuke/zone technique, let the RDMs get some hate so they can kite effectively. Then let the BLMs nuke and zone because they will obviously get lots of hate from their nukes. No problem with letting Zip try to chase down the BLMs as they zone out because all that does is give the RDMs time to get some distance between themselves and Zip so they can rebuff and be prepared to bind. Once I had hate and was able to pull Zip away from everyone else it moved much more smoothly because there was much more space to work with and less people around Zip to mess up bind. Hopefully that was a learning experience for the newer people in the LS.
Another little problem after that was at SC when we were sleeping the detectors to let it try to pop SC. Well someone decided not to turn off autotarget and then attacked the detector. There were 2 DRGs with us and they tried to claim it wasn't them when it was obviously one of them since there was a wyvern attacking the detector. Then out of nowhere, after having the detector slept with like 1/4 health, someone just turns and kills the detector ... wtf?! We had only killed 2 pops from the detector at that point and to be honest I wasn't so pleased because I was the one pulling. Anyways, on the next detector we got SC to pop on like the 2nd try.
Overall it was a pretty good farming day for the LS. I believe we got Zip, BB, Olla, 2xUlli, MG, SC, Faust, and Despot. Hehe, now that I look at that, that is a full god set which also is a Kirin set. Not too shabby for a regular farming night.
Oh, yesterday I also put in an app to HellsBells for Dynamis because I figured I would at least give it a try. As of now there have been 30 views of it but only 1 comment. They are making comments on another guy's app still that had been accepted a couple days ago though. Throw me a friggin bone here, I'm trying to get in the LS for tonight's Dynamis. Oh well, guess that means I will just have more time to level my SAM tonight.
Speaking of SAM, I did a little duoing with Hybrid yesterday on Goblin pets in Gustav Tunnel and it was just unfair to those pets. There were a few pets that only landed 1 hit on us before it died which means it got 3 swings off. I think we may try doing some more duoing on Goblin pets because it was pretty good exp and we weren't having any trouble with them. Screamineagle was sitting there in case something went wrong like a Goblin link or something but other than that he really only saved us some time resting.

Inauguration Day
It was a lazy night last night. We started off with a Kirin, that ended up taking way longer to set up for that it should have. The plus side of this Kirin was we did try it another way. Instead of just having the 3 BRDs swap around and then stay in party we actually had a 4th bard outside that 2hr'd and gave 3 extra DDs 2 songs also. So when the 3 bard rotation was done the bards would drop out and the 3 extra DD swapped in and we'd get even more fast damage on Kirin and take him down quicker. This was actually a really nice idea that worked out well. Kirin went down faster than usual but one of the extra DDs d/c'd just as he was supposed to swap back in so I jumped back in my original party to give the WHM Soul Voiced Ballads. Congrats to Hybridkiller on a half point cost D Body and to Fadee on his W Legs.
Seeing the W Legs drop again made me really start to think that I may actually take the time to build up points to try to get W Legs for Screamineagle just for fun. It would be really cool to have 2 characters with W Legs so he could actually keep up with my RDM now. lol What else is nice is that his PLD is really well geared and that is one of the few nice items he is missing. Also, whenever I use him he's almost always on PLD and whenever I dual box it's usually PLD and RDM. Even another thing that would be really nice is that if I do end up getting back into a real Dynamis shell I could always use him as an NM kiter for the 3 NM platforms. Versatility... :D
Back to sky though... After Kirin we ended up just farming the rest of the night but since we had so many people we were smart enough to split up and take groups to basically every NM out there. I guess we got MG, Despot, SC, and a water. We would've gotten Zip but a solo RDM got to him before our main alliance of people could. This doesn't even include the group of BLM we had at Ulli trying to snag some Diorites too. It was refreshing to be able to just own sky like that.
As for my plans in this LS and future plans, I want to stay with this LS because weekly payouts are really nice and I still have a bunch of items I still want. Gear I still want for myself in sky:
1) W Hands
2) N Body
3) N Hands
4) Kirin's Osode
Items I want for Screamineagle is a much shorter list: W Legs, Haidate, and D Body. Other possibilites would be D Head and D Legs but they are not a priority AT ALL. I dunno if I would actually uncurse his D Body because that's definitely not cheap but it would be nice to have a decently geared MNK to have extra for Salvage. The other problem with Screamin's MNK though is that he doesn't have Haidate. Haidate would be a really nice upgrade for his MNK and NIN even though I would probably never use him on NIN because his PLD is so well geared.
But back to actually talking about my plans for Treubond. Future plans include SAM to 75 and meriting like mad man. Then I would switch back to MNK and get cracking on that to at least 66 or possibly 75 depending on the needs of a Salvage group that I hope to join.
Which brings me to my next point of Salvage. Hulc is coming back some time in the next week and he wants to get a regular Salvage group together which I am all about because that of course is my next real goal now that I have W Legs and all my NEEDED gear for SAM from sky. Salvage I have always had fun with and would love to start getting some Morrigan gear flowing my way and even possibly some Marduk gear because they would be some decent upgrades for my bard. Not to mention some Usukane gear for my SAM or MNK when they are 75 as well. I guess that means now that I am paying attention more to what gear I could actually use for good upgrades to what I have I should remake my Salvage list of wanted items. Guess that means I would also need a bunch of house cleaning then too huh?
So tonight will be another attempt at leveling SAM some more, but hopefully not failing like last night. I will also have to start looking through my inventory on my character and seeing what else I can dump to my mule or just straight up sell because I don't use a lot of the stuff anymore and probably won't use some of it for a while.

All Good Things Should Come In Pairs
LIKE HOT WOMEN!!! I mean, like the nights of gear that I get! Last week I had 2 pieces of gear drop to me in 1 night and last night I had 2 pieces of gear drop to me in 1 night. All Dryadic gear that is worth while is now mine. Dryadic Body and Dryadic Legs can now be added to my collection of gear that needs to be uncursed. It is a great feeling coming ever so much closer to getting all the gear I want in sky. Now that I think about it, I believe I only have 3 or 4 pieces of gear from sky that I don't yet; W Hands, N Hands, N Body, and I believe either M Head or M Hands. I would count Osode but I could buy that if I really wanted to.
Another plus from yesterday is that I found a quick hour long party and was able to get about 10k from it thus gaining me level 65 on SAM. I am really hoping to have SAM at 70 by Sunday because Sush and Mac left me in the dust in leveling, but in my defense they have way more time than I do to level. It is really good to see some people in the LS working towards leveling new jobs that are actually useful, like we could use Sush on DRG for angon (or whatever its called) since we maybe only have 1 or 2 in the LS right now and then having Mac as another SAM would definitely be nice because I'm sure he loves to be on RDM/WHM for Kirin as a back up healer or a substitute WHM. I just wish other people in the LS would take more of an initiative to level another job as diligently as them. I am trying, but well I can only move so fast with something IRL almost every night then having my gf take up my weekends.
As for this coming week and weekend I should hopefully have time to get my SAM to 70 because I won't have any gf duties until next weekend (last weekend of January). All of my free time in game will pretty much be spent trying to level my SAM as it has been for a little while now. I just really want to see what my SAM will be like when I hit 75. It is kind of exciting to have the prospect of another 75 job because I have a lot of gear waiting already for when I get up there. Right now I'm only missing a few pieces like Osode, Brutal Earring, and Hagun. Osode I will eventually get through the LS but the Brutal Earring I'd like to try to farm up the coins on my own because there are some pieces of AF+1 that I would really like to get like AF+1 Hands for SAM, AF+1 Hands for BRD, AF+1 Hat for BLM, and possibly some other pieces.
Right now my biggest problem that I see long term is storage space. I discovered last week that storage in your Mog House caps at 80 which is not exactly what I was hoping for. That means I have no maxed out COMPLETELY my possibility for expanding space on Treubond ... not cool. This makes me wonder how other people can have all these jobs at 75 and be able to still have gear for them all. I do have a feeling that when my SAM hits 75 my WAR may be retired since in order to really deck out my WAR I would really have to drop some gil on some nice pieces like Unicorn and Dusk which I'm just not ready for or honestly really willing to do. I just see more potential for SAM than I do for WAR for what I would need gil and space wise. As far as another few pieces of gear that I may need for SAM, gorgets. Gorgets is not something I look forward to nor do I really think I would drop that much time in sea to get them because I dunno if I feel that they would be worth the upgrade for me because I think I would prefer spending that time leveling another job in my eventual quest of Maat's Cap.
As for my next job to 75 (or Maat's Cap level) after SAM I have already decided to do MNK as some of the gear I have right now crosses over so well and I could sell my Fuma Kyahan when I hit 72 on MNK which will be a much welcome couple hundred thousand gil back. I also have D Body which is probably the biggest piece that any good monk should get. Monk will also be a good help in case of us needing another monk for Salvage ... if we EVER start it up.
This evening I have an early basketball game at 6:30 so that should give me plenty of time to get another party on SAM and possibly crank out some good exp before having to head up to sky again.

Gearz!
So I finally got gear in sky last night. We were moving really slow from location to location but still ended up doing 3 gods (no Byakko) and a Kirin. We also sold A Hands, S Kote, and D Body last night which is definitely a pick me up for the payout for this week. But the plus side was that I got to actually get not 1 but 2 items last night that were on my list and I only gots them for 5 points. :D N Feet and D Head are now MINE! Now I just have to worry about the 700k+ for the 2 cursed items I would need. I'm definitely not going to worry about +1s because for me that would be a complete waste of gil.
I am a happy camper though because gear is gear and they are both items I will at least eventually use. The N Feet may eventually never be used but at least I will have them for now. As for the D Head I believe I have decided to take SAM all the way to 75 just so I have a better job than WAR for a melee job. It shouldn't take too much for me to get a pretty well geared SAM because I'm sure I will have D Head (which I just got) and D Legs for WS which are major pieces. Other gear that I would need is Hauby (have), Byakko's Haidate (have), Hagun (3M+ but hopefully can get people to do ENM with me to save me gil), and honestly the rest isn't that hard to get excluding the uber gear like Usukane.
The main thing is when I actually hit 75 I will have to drop a lot merits into my SAM. Store TP (max), Shikikoyo (1), and then Overwhelm (at least 3) are going to be my main concerns. Even Meditate isn't the highest of concerns because I would mainly be using SAM to start off in a Kirin burn set up so Meditate would still only have time to be used once during then. But that is still probably weeks down the road so I won't worry too much about that right now.

Creepin Up
Not really much to say except that more pop items were gotten last night and more Byakko's were killed. We didn't get around to the Kirin Sush was hoping to do because not enough people were online. However, we did sell a Haidate making us an extra 5M in gil for the new payout system of needing to spend 20 points a week to still receive payout.
As for the title of this entry, I am creeping ever so much closer to getting the gear I want for cheap. It seems as though I may only have about 1 person ahead of me in all the items I want including: W Hands, N Hands, N Feet, D Head, D Legs, D Body, and possibly even N Body. I figured it out and all the items I want if I paid full points for them all I would be spending about 260 points for it all... eff that since I only have about 180 now. I will gladly wait for the people that want to spend full points so I can get 35 point items for 5 points. We go through so many gods each week I don't mind waiting an extra week or so to save myself all those points. I know I will still have to pay the 100 points between D Body and N Body, but if I get everything else for 5 points each I can save up to get myself a nice shiney Kirin's Osode to whoop some butt in on my WAR. Maybe tonight will be my lucky night and I can get D Legs when Khrone hopefully gets his Haidate!
As for RL, I played basketball last night in the league I'm technically in but haven't played in at all. I realized that I'm definitely out of running shape because I was really hurting as far as breathing. It is understandable though since I am technically still sick and I know my legs were pretty much stripped of most muscle between resting my knee and then getting uber sick. Guess that means I need to start working out again NOW while I've lost some weight from being sick and I have so much room to build up the muscles from that just right amount of fat left on me. Anyways, tonight will be more volleyball so that's fun. My only problem is I don't know how a harsh week like this will go on my knee. Right now my knee is doing fine but hopefully it stays fine forever now instead of just possibly going right back to where it was 3 months ago.

New Year, New Updates
I guess this would be Happy New Year since I haven't posted in here since before then. Since New Year's I have gotten deathly ill and gamed a bunch. The deathly ill part really sucked because my fever was between 100.7 and 103 for almost 5 days. I was so sick I couldn't even really game, and that's baaaaaaaaad. Since I've gotten better I've been back at it with my SAM.
My SAM AF is now completed and I have gotten up to 63. SAM is actually pretty fun now because I have a powerful WS. NINs almost have no chance to tank against me now its actually quite funny. The NIN I was with last night was just quite terrible anyways. I don't think he understands that in order to tank he needs more enmity and using an amemet mantle (not even +1) isn't going to gain him enough hate to tank over me or the DRK, he really needed a High Breathe Mantle. SAM is only going to get better as I level because I will only be getting stronger and stronger and then at 65 I can get Gekko and then self-skill chain Fragmentation (insta-hate lol). There are still a few gear upgrades I need to make to my SAM but they are relatively cheap so I'm not worried, its just finding them on the AH.
Some sad news has been brought to my attention, Drackonus was apparently banned for some reason this past week. I have no clue what brought about this turn of events but I was saddened to hear this. Best of luck in the real world now Drack, you will be missed.
As for other news, Khrone finally paid me back in full. This is kind of disconcerting to me because now I don't have that over him anymore ... poopy. It is nice to be paid back in full though since that now puts me over 5M on myself ... w00t. Now I need to start finding those big ticket items I always wanted to spend my gil on, like Morrigan gear, which I have no time to actually go do since my RL schedule is very demanding now. I did get invited to Allegro's (Cedrick) salvage group, but seeing as their run times are 11AM it doesn't so much work out for me unless I came in to work early and took an extended lunch every day.
I think once I finish off my dryadic gear and heca gear I will just call it quits for sky for the most part. That would finish me off for sky gear anyways so the only reason I would be going is for payout which is changing around this week on how to get payout. This means I'll stick around enough for payouts but other than that I think I will stay out of sky unless I'm doing some farming for myself, like a Despot or something. I am pretty sure everyone is out of my way for Dryadic gear now which is really nice, no more having to wait for it to be 5 points ... hazzah!
Well, it seems I have said enough for today. Brian, I got Van's MSN for you, I just have to remember to e-mail it to you tonight with my e-mail address to open your blog to me again. Til tomorrow I suppose.
Quote of the Day:
I swear there is a conspiracy to not let me get my haidate.
- Khrone worrying so much about getting his Haidate because he doesn't feel that getting D Body and Haidate within 6 months of his FIRST sky LS is fast enough ... damn impatience ... I waited 3 years for my W Legs and Haidate
My SAM AF is now completed and I have gotten up to 63. SAM is actually pretty fun now because I have a powerful WS. NINs almost have no chance to tank against me now its actually quite funny. The NIN I was with last night was just quite terrible anyways. I don't think he understands that in order to tank he needs more enmity and using an amemet mantle (not even +1) isn't going to gain him enough hate to tank over me or the DRK, he really needed a High Breathe Mantle. SAM is only going to get better as I level because I will only be getting stronger and stronger and then at 65 I can get Gekko and then self-skill chain Fragmentation (insta-hate lol). There are still a few gear upgrades I need to make to my SAM but they are relatively cheap so I'm not worried, its just finding them on the AH.
