Lots of Updates

There's so much to talk about and so little time because I'm so busy at work so I'll just try to do some short blurbs between me doing work.

Level Cap:
Yup, level cap was pushed up to 80. So far I've been hearing that being 80 is making some things easier (and necessary in Walk of Echos) like doing Salvage or killing some HNMs. I don't really think there were any game breakers being 80 though. Some nice boosts were sekkanoki on other jobs making WAR a big powerhouse again, convert while /RDM, phalanx for PLD at 77, and that's all that really jumps out at me. There were some new job traits and abilites that came out but again, nothing game breaking.

Abyssea:
I have yet to do this but I did just buy it. I am excited to get into it though because I hear that the exp in there is really pimp, like 50k in 90 minutes. The other thing is people are saying that skill ups are more easily come by in there. Then the items that drop in there are pretty nice. Threw bomblet is really nice because of the STR+2 and ATT+10 which blows everything else away. Goading belt is the big item I want from there because of more haste and Store TP which is amazing for SAM. Plus the high damage weapon items needed for Magian items drop in here which means I have to go in here if I want the uber damage weapon for any job.

Magian:
This has been pretty nice because it takes little effort each night to camp these pretty easy NMs or killing random mobs during certain conditions. For Treubond I now have a GK that is a little worse than Hagun but once I finish some of these VNMs I will have a GK that is better than Hagun. As for Screamineagle, I really only use him on PLD or on rare occasion MNK so I decided to do the earth based sword for him. This sword will be better than Hauteclaire once I finish it, but he will have to be an 80 PLD to use it. Once I finish the trial I'm on now it will be a Physical Dmg -2% sword with some VIT on it which is big pimpin considering he doesn't really have anything else for tanking.

So that's about it for now. The game has gotten a little more interesting with some new gear sets and how to gear up my jobs but I'm still at a point where I don't see myself getting any post 75 gear because there is still a lot of syncing down to 75 for exp or trials. Anyways, I'll try to update again when I have something more to say. :P
