So I guess there was some sort of rule put into place saying that we have to be in sky for so many hours before we are allowed to get payout. Because I was in sky for 2 nights but yet I wasn't allowed to get payout because they said I showed up for only a little bit the one night. I was definitely there for 3 Byakko fights and a Faust but they missed me on the "screenshot" of attendance. Normally I wouldn't be too angry about it but it was over 1M for the payout this week and if I would've known I wasn't going to be getting payout I WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN SHOWED FOR 2 NIGHTS LAST WEEK!!!! There's basically no reason that I should even be going to sky besides payout. ARGH!!!!! I'm so frustrated over this because it was gil I was planning on getting which is why I haven't been so froogle about my gil the past few days.
I have spent quite a chunk of change on gear upgrades because I have a lot of gil just laying around doing nothing that I could easily be doing something with. So I upgraded my Hauby to a +1 for a good price because one of my friends was offering it to me. Then the weapon I'm using went from a 7k item to a 200k item. I'm back down much lower than I expected and I was counting on last weeks payout to get me back up to a reasonable amount.
Then last night we got a ton of Diorites and they were going to go out of their way to not let people in the LS lot haidates because they wanted to sell them. I mean, they were actually going to only do enough to get the LS one and a buyer one and then just save the rest... If that doesn't sound selfish I don't know what does. This is supposed to be an LS about helping people out, so doing as many Byakko's as we can to get people their haidates is just as good as selling them because then we can just do buyer > buyer > buyer instead of LS > buyer > LS like we have been. We ended up only having enough time to do 3 Byakkos anyways and guess what, no haidates dropped. Its very irksome to see how this LS is being run and it pushes me away that much more. I mean I want to see people get the gear they want and I want to see the LS make gil because then it makes everyone else that is done with gear happy. But when I see people specifically doing things to make it better for themselves rather than that of the group, c'mon people, lets try to be a little selfless once in a while.
Ok, I'm don't ranking for now because I was doing better but now that I'm dwelling on this again I'm just getting frustrated again.
As for DRK, I had a lot more time than I expected to level it this weekend and got it up to 69. Saturday I threw together an LS party that went REALLY well. We were just tearing through colibri like they were nothing. It was also to try and get Khrone some extra PLing experience which he still sucks at. He really needs to tone down on the distractions while he's doing it because I'm pretty sure him fighting, PLing, watching TV, and probably searching the internet all at once isn't so great. When I PL I just concentrate on my char and the PL and maybe have some music playing in the background. I mean having a TV show on is kind of worthless because I'm gonna miss most of it anyways and if I really want to watch it I can just DVR it. Once I started making fun of him and continually pointing out that he wasn't doing anything he started to pay more attention but still wasn't all that good. The next day he was helping PL a party that Hybrid made and even Hybrid said Khrone was a crappy PL. Yeah Khrone, he said it. :P Learn to concentrate on your char and the PL instead of the TV. Also, put your laptop on your desk so its infront of you and you don't have to turn to hit a macro on your laptop, it works way better that way.
I'm happy to be making more and more progress on my char though because it shows that I am accomplishing things in game again. For DRK, I'm a little under halfway done going from 50 to 66 but I will hopefully be able to throw together some parties to rock out my way to 66 in no time. Once DRK is done I already have laid out what I need for DRG and it really doesn't seem like much outside of a lance and the Spiked Finger Gauntlets. The gauntlets are going to be the expensive piece for DRG but they will be good for the whole time I'm on DRG.
There are a few things I have to do tonight before I try going to exp or skill up or anything like that. I need to check on my Campaign status to be sure I don't rank down on either of my chars. One other thing I need to do is check on Screamin's ToAU missions. At some point Khrone caught up to Screamin so now I need to make sure Screamin is ready for the next fight so I can get him moving through those missions as well. The ring would definitely be a nice upgrade for his MNK.

The Dark Knight
My trek of DRK to 66 has begun. I have actually knocked out the first 5 levels of this journey already which is pretty nice. This also brings me to realize that most DRKs just don't know how to play the job.
A DRK is more than just a Souleater and bash kind of job. DRK has access to all of these absorb spells that add so much to the job that I never see DRKs use. Something I discovered kind of accidentally was that when you have an attribute down on you, you can do the absorb of that spell and it overwrites that negative effect. Another something that I don't understand why more DRKs don't use it is Abosrb-DEX, STR, and VIT. Now STR and VIT are obvious because it boosts your damage and that of the parties, but you may wonder why DEX. Seeing that DRK is mostly a 2-handed weapon job doing an Absorb-DEX REALLY boosts your ACC. Last night I was doing Absorb-DEX on Lesser Colibri and when it landed I was getting 14 DEX out of it, that's over 10 ACC .... 10 ACC!!!! If you think that is nothing then you try full timing your Parade Gorget instead of a Peacock Charm and tell me if you notice a difference. Then there are also the Drain and Aspir spells which can be really good depending on the mobs that you fight. One of the Colibri last night I drained for 183HP which is more damage than a round of attacks by my party.
Anyways, DRK is way more fun than I expected even though my weapon skill levels are TERRIBLE right now. You should never do what I did last night, go into a level 54 party with a 107 skill level on your weapon you are using. lol But hey, I could use sushi on Lesser Colibri and I was getting skill ups. One of my other friends ... cough Hybrid cough ... was doing the same thing with his Polearm which he got up to about 137 in that party. It was pretty surprising that our party was doing as well as it was considering 2 of us were doing very little damage, well, 3 because the MNK was still using lvl 30 Boreas Cesti.
The next time I go out with my DRK I'm going to have to upgrade my ACC gear a little because for now its pretty painful to whiff as much as I was. Which makes me realize that gear upgrades are something I have to look up this afternoon because some of my gear is pretty crappy.
This week ended 2 of my volleyball leagues so that opens up my Tuesdays and Thursdays and seeing as my gf goes back to school on Sunday I am hoping to crack down on exp and really start moving through these levels. My goal for DRK is a week from this Sunday to have it at 66 so I need to stop being lazy and make my own party if it comes down to it.
Another little update about Disdain. He called me just before I got back from lunch and said he'll be coming back in the next week or 2 and hopefully be bringing a friend or two with him. One of his friends is pretty set on at least trying it out and he is trying to get her bf to join too. This would be pretty cool because then we could have some extra fresh meat to move through the levels and see where we end up with a small group of our own.

Dunzo with Monkzo
As you can probably guess by the title, I now have MNK at 66!!! It was a painful party to be in last night because the one SAM was a moron and kept screwing up Hybrid's and myself's Howling Fist to SATA Tachi: Yukikaze. This SAM was trying to create a 6-hit set up I think at level 60, it was kind of sad to watch it. He also had no concept of lining up straight across from the tank so Hybrid could SATA the sadly geared NIN tank.
What is with people wearing crap gear. I can gear some of these jobs that these people are wearing soooooooo easily and it wouldn't even cost much. A High Breath Mantle is the most important piece of gear a tank can have and it only costs about 8k on Hades. 8k for 50 charges of Enmity+5 and HP+38, WHAT THE HELL PEOPLE?!?!?! This is a no brainer! The friggin NIN last night was wearing a Nomad's Mantle at 61. WHO DOES THAT?!?!?! I'm sitting there thinking "Jesus f&@$ my eye Christ, these guys are retarded!!!" It is just so painful to have all of these people poorly geared when all it takes is just a little bit of research and a little bit of gil. I mean meleeing let alone tanking in your Empress Ring earns you rights to be hung from the gallows until dead. Argh, stupidity frustrates me greatly.
Now that I am done with MNK though I can go about my business with the next job in the queue, DRK. It should be very simple for me to gear it because I don't really need much and I could clean up some space from the gear I'm using for MNK. As of now I still haven't decided exactly how I'm going to gear it but I know depending on where I level it will also depend on what weapon I use. If I level at 50 I will probably use a GS because the GS at 50 is really nice, but if I do East Ron [S] parties I will use a GA because Sturmwind owns at that level. I guess I may just have to carry around 2 weapons then just in case. Scythe probably won't be an issue until I get to close to 60 because then I get Guillotine which is the first good WS for it.
So I also heard from Mac last night. He said he's been busy with moving to Kentucky or something because his ship date got pushed back a month because of something with paperwork. Mac did say that he was definitely going to let me use his char while he's gone though! Too bad he said he'll probably be a ghost for a little while longer because I could really go for some extra progress in Assaults and exp considering I'm moving on to DRK now.
Tonight my gf is coming home for spring break so she'll be around for the next 10 days or so. Guess what that means, limited gaming time. It is gonna be sad not being able to make the progress that I would be hoping to anymore and not being able to collect on gil from sky. We shall have to see how much time I really do spend with her and how much I can actually get accomplished in my drastically reduced playing time. So til whenever I have an actual update again... peace!

MNK Almost Done
I've gotten a few more levels on MNK bringing me up to 64. This leaves me with just 2 more levels to go until I'm done with MNK until I decide to do Maat with it.
There are a few things that I may have to work on before I fight Maat, if ever. One of those things being my H2H skill since it is only about 20 below the cap right now and that is 2 levels under where I need to be before I can fight Maat. It has crossed my mind to try to go skill up on WAR instead because it is at 75 but there is a glaring problem with that, WAR's H2H skill caps at 210 and I'm already at 203. Guess that means I take Screamin out to the tree some time to skill up on Steelshells when that time comes, unless by some miracle I find an actual exp party my level to take me up to 66 so I can skill up the rest of the way.
I think I have decided on my next job to level though. It is another job I would like to eventually get to 75 but not until after I get the cap. There are 2 reasons for not getting it to 75 right away; one, I don't have the gil to gear it well, two, I just don't want to dump the time into getting that to 75 when I could be spending that time getting Maat's Cap. Now that I have built up the anticipation of my 2 or so readers, I've decided on DRK. It was a toss up betwee DRK and DRG anyways and I figured I might as well do the one I will have less fun with. DRG I think I will have some fun with because there is a lot I can do with Jumps and my Wyvern and the damage output I can do with it. So lets put DRK up to the test of damage output at lower levels and see how well it holds up at the bird camp and any other levels thereafter until 66.
Tonight I will be concentrating on MNK and if I can get a good enough party I think I'm gonna blitz for finishing MNK tonight (only about 45k left to go). So here's to hoping that goes well as well as Salvage.

EXP on Crack
All I gotta say is WOW. 6 friggin levels on my MNK on Saturday in basically just 1 party. It was like 160k worth of exp in like 9 hours. I felt like such a loser but it did feel great that I got so much done. What did suck about the whole thing was that I still LOST a rank on ffxiah.com. How does someone go from 55 to 61 and lose a friggin spot in the rankings? I swear, this week I am going to totally crack out on exp and try to blitz all the way to 66 on MNK and try to get another job to 60.
Here's the thing with getting another job to 60, I need to decide which job. Now I have had those lists of what I wanted to do next but I always change my mind so I guess I have to make a decision soon since I should be at least hitting 66 on MNK this week. The way I look at it I only have 3 choices: DRK, DRG or PLD. Of the 3 I would probably have the most fun with DRG. That being said I don't want to do all the fun jobs first or it would make the tail end of going for the cap that much harder. I think all 3 of these jobs through the E Ron [S] bird camp would be fun though. PLD would be because I get to tank and showing off the tanking skills would of course be fun. DRK would be because that is prime level for using a GA and owning with Sturmwind. Then DRG of course would be fun because of having a piercing weapon. I suppose I will just see how I feel when I finish MNK.
Now what really is gettin me going right now is that I MIGHT, still not sure yet, have access to Mac's account. He was telling me yesterday that he would think about it and let me know today since it is his last day before shipping out. It seems like I am the only person he even remotely trusts with his account. I wouldn't steal anything from his account even though he does have really nice gear, but the thing with me taking stuff off of Screamin is that I know him personally and we used to borrow gear from each other all the time, but as Mac isn't an RL friend I would feel bad about borrowing gear from him. It will suck to lose Mac for a while because between me, him, Khrone and Hybrid we have been getting a lot done over the past week and a half. The big bonus is that I will be able to use Mac as a PL in the past now and get crackin on Screamin's RDM. Depending on the situation I may even swap Screamin and Mac as PLs and help Mac move his BRD along. Here's to hoping Mac trusts me. ^^

Lots Done
I guess I'll just start with all the exp that has been done this week. It hasn't exactly been what I had planned but moving towards Maat's Cap is really the big goal which I have been doing.
Started with a SMN burn party that was nice but its so short because it only lasts 2 pulls and then you need to find a new person to level sync to 13-15 with. Its a great idea but just not legit for a long term party. I suppose I can't really complain though since I did get 4 levels on my SMN in about 2 hours.
On MNK I got some exp in E. Ron [S] parties and am now 55. This is really the job I want to concentrate on this weekend because I set a goal of having it at 66 by Sunday and as of right now I really have no chance to do that unless I exp all day Saturday and Sunday.
Last night we were about ready to do Salvage and then Caol d/c's and couldn't get back online. Although when he d/c'd it was already about 10:20 which made us uber late as it was. Dray was seemingly trying to stick us being late on me, Khrone, and Hybrid. When I joined the party he said something along the lines of "that is why I wanted to change the times and change some people." I took that as a personal assault on myself because I knew starting off Dray didn't think I was reliable. When I have only missed 1 run and that was because Khrone got into a car accident that day and he wasn't sure how bad he was still shaken up by it since he did roll his Jeep. I was just going to do whatever he wanted to do that night because I was, and have been since, my brother's driver since he is still carless and I just wanted to make sure he was all good. Argh, I am just really frustrated right now about this whole thing because people are still looking at our group as an LS instead of friends doing this together. I mean I know there have to be rules but some of them are pushing so hard about how "the shell" is run ... shell? ... its 9 friggin people folks, can't we just come to a consensus on this between us instead of try saying, he's the leader he will tell us how it is? Bleh, ok, feeling better now that I'm finally just saying some of this, even though basically no one reads my blog. lol
Since we ended up not doing Salvage I went up to sky earlier than I expected and we ended up doing a lot of gods and 2 kirins. Overall the night was crappy to the LS but at least semi nice to Khrone who got his D Head ... FINALLY!!! Byakko was also extremely stingy and didn't drop his pants for us (yes I know how that sounds) either time we killed him. What is really cool is that for Haidate right now it is Wardemon -> Buyer -> Screamineagle. :D That means I am ever so close to finishing off Screamin's MNK for as far as I can really take it without doing other events with him. We also found out that the people that asked for payout are getting somewhere around 1.2M gil a piece. I'm uber pumped for that because that puts me right at the point where I could actually afford a Morrigan's Robe just by selling like 2 or 3 pieces of gear!!!! w00t!!!
Back to Screamineagle, I have been able to dual box him in some assaults and actually got him a new assault done last night. Maybe I can rank him up to FL eventually while we're moving Khrone, Hybrid, and the soon to be gone Mac up in the ranks. I also realized, just now actually, that I am totally done with Mamool Ja Training Grounds assaults! Now if I can get this one escort assault won I will be done with the first 4 ranks of assault as well.
Tonight is going to be a busy night though. After work my friend is gonna cut my hair, then I will probably exp or do assaults, then I have Salvage, then maybe another assault, then we're supposed to be going and doing Promyvion-Dem for Khrone to get him going again in CoP. Yeah, busy friggin night and then I want to just spam the crap outta my MNK so I can get moving quickly to 66. The one thing about my MNK is that it is at a bird camp level which is nice incase the 37 bird camp is full. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how it goes this weekend. Til next week.

When I have only missed 1 run and that was because Khrone got into a car accident that day and he wasn't sure how bad he was still shaken up by it since he did roll his Jeep. I was just going to do whatever he wanted to do that night because I was, and have been since, my brother's driver since he is still carless and I just wanted to make sure he was all good. Argh, I am just really frustrated right now about this whole thing because people are still looking at our group as an LS instead of friends doing this together. I mean I know there have to be rules but some of them are pushing so hard about how "the shell" is run ... shell? ... its 9 friggin people folks, can't we just come to a consensus on this between us instead of try saying, he's the leader he will tell us how it is? Bleh, ok, feeling better now that I'm finally just saying some of this, even though basically no one reads my blog. lol
Since we ended up not doing Salvage I went up to sky earlier than I expected and we ended up doing a lot of gods and 2 kirins. Overall the night was crappy to the LS but at least semi nice to Khrone who got his D Head ... FINALLY!!! Byakko was also extremely stingy and didn't drop his pants for us (yes I know how that sounds) either time we killed him. What is really cool is that for Haidate right now it is Wardemon -> Buyer -> Screamineagle. :D That means I am ever so close to finishing off Screamin's MNK for as far as I can really take it without doing other events with him. We also found out that the people that asked for payout are getting somewhere around 1.2M gil a piece. I'm uber pumped for that because that puts me right at the point where I could actually afford a Morrigan's Robe just by selling like 2 or 3 pieces of gear!!!! w00t!!!
Back to Screamineagle, I have been able to dual box him in some assaults and actually got him a new assault done last night. Maybe I can rank him up to FL eventually while we're moving Khrone, Hybrid, and the soon to be gone Mac up in the ranks. I also realized, just now actually, that I am totally done with Mamool Ja Training Grounds assaults! Now if I can get this one escort assault won I will be done with the first 4 ranks of assault as well.
Tonight is going to be a busy night though. After work my friend is gonna cut my hair, then I will probably exp or do assaults, then I have Salvage, then maybe another assault, then we're supposed to be going and doing Promyvion-Dem for Khrone to get him going again in CoP. Yeah, busy friggin night and then I want to just spam the crap outta my MNK so I can get moving quickly to 66. The one thing about my MNK is that it is at a bird camp level which is nice incase the 37 bird camp is full. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how it goes this weekend. Til next week.

Sync'd Punching
Not must of an update really, the main thing is I wanted to post a QotD, but I guess since I'm posting I could mention a couple things.
I was happy to have a little free time on Saturday to go level my monk. Sadly I spent most of the time just standing around and then Mac finally said he'd go exp so we went and duo'd (MNK+BRD) on pets in the desert. At one point we were up around 10k/hr. I got my MNK 2 more levels out there and am now 54 and Mac got his BRD from 30 to I believe 33 or 34. That was fun to get some more exp but sad that I still couldn't use some of my really nice gear.
Another sad story is that Sush seems to have really done it to himself now. I guess someone went back through some of our drops and discovered that Sush was stealing from the LS. Supposedly there was a W Legs buyer that "donated 2 pop sets" to get it for free but it more seems that Sush just pocketed the 5M that the guy paid for them. This is just another huge bad mark on Sush's record. It is sad because he was such a great player and then he went behind so many people's backs that trusted him and swiped our gil.
Anyways, I guess I will just get back to leveling and salvage and enough sky to keep up with payout. Leveling is what I'm most looking forward to because that means I will be moving towards Maat's Cap again. My big goal for this week is to try to hit 66 on MNK by Sunday. It is a big goal but you need to push for those goals to be able to push yourself to the next level. I only have about 3 more months of being able to play as much as I do now. Once my gf moves back from school my time will be greatly cut down I'm sure. By that time I hope to be done with Maat's Cap so I can do smaller goals and events like Dynamis twice a week or Limbus twice a week or maybe even Einherjar in there twice a week.
