Salvage w00t

Not much really was happening last night, just cleaning up some odds and ends and didn't even get a chance to level. Finished my Brown Belt last night, got the Dodo skin on the 1st pop of yesterday and got the Nue fang on the 1st pop too. Thanks to Disdain's TH3 (that he doesn't even know I was using him for lol).

Between getting the skin and the fang I got a /tell from Spruck asking me to go with his group to Salvage. I was like, suuuure. We went in to SSR and right off the bat Price and I realized we screwed up. He was SAM/WAR when he should've been /THF and I was BRD/BLM ... /BLM ... WTF is wrong with me. Turns out it still went alright even with me HUGE screw up. Hammerbow (I think that's its name) dropped Spruck's 35 Usu kabuto which was nice because I think that is the last piece he needs for the head then he would be 4/5 Usu I believe. We moved up and nothing else of real importance dropped. On the last floor we tried to do the Turtle but Spruck screwed up, then Price screwed up, then when I was about to pull the Turtle my mouse decided to click on a rampart and I cast Elegy on that instead of on the Turtle and aggro'd the whole room.

After the run, the one guy just randomly asked me what I was there for and I said for Morrigan's. Then immediately after that Spruck asks me to join them full time! I said sure because when they first started I couldn't make their run, but now they are Sunday, Monday, and Thursday so I should be able to make most of the runs now. There will be some exceptions like some Thursdays I will have volleyball so I may be a little late or like this coming Sunday when I am going to Screamineagle's wedding. But I also found out that Morrigan is a "popular set in [that] group" as Spruck so kindly put it. Oh well, it'll be REALLY good experience for when Khrone hits 75 and I can start doing runs with my RL friends.

I am uber excited about Salvage now because I will actually get some stuff done for once and will have a good chance at getting items! With getting a Salvage group now I suppose I really need to work on making gil again. Salvage gear still costs a bit of gil so I need to get back to my Bonecraft as soon as possible. I NEED ME A REGULAR INCOME!!!

Outside of Salvage I was talking with Disdain. He wants to set up another little trio static with himself, Khrone, and me. Originally he wanted to roll DNC (support), SAM (tank/DD), and SCH or BLU (healer). After a little talking and me explaining I didn't want to take my DNC anywhere, we started on the idea of SAM, SAM, and SCH. I think that set up could be pretty good. Having 2 SAMs with Seigan and Third Eye being able to bounce hate back and forth with a SCH healing it should work pretty decently. I would like to get SAM and MNK up higher now because outside of WAR I would like another useful DD job at 75.

This goes back to my post yesterday now... order of jobs I want to level. Outside of just getting jobs to 37 or 40 for sub jobs, I need to find that next job I want to take for the long haul. I can see MNK being really sweet and SAM being really sweet, but the big problem is gear down the road. I may take both to 50 so I can do AF quests for them and then decide from there. Another HUGE factor will be Soboro. If I get a Soboro for my SAM, I will probably just take SAM all the way because a Soboro could actually last me all the way to a Hagun. I have all the sub jobs I would ever need for either of those jobs so that is a non factor. The big factors are which one will I have more fun with and which one can I gear VERY well end game better.

For MNK, the biggest piece of gear I would need is a Dryadic body because I have most of the other gear I would need ... brown belt, amemet+1, destroyers, rajas ring, ATT+ earrings, and O kote.

For SAM, the biggest pieces I would need are in the weapon slot, Soboro and Hagun. I have a Hauby for body, but then I would also need other AF pieces for Meditate and other gear swap items to really be good.

MNK from what I am thinking right now seems a little easier for me to gear seeing as I would only REALLY need a D. body. Bah, this decision is so hard for me. I need to really look at end game gear for both of those jobs and figure out which I could gear the best easier. But then which I will have more fun with too... ARGH. Ok, I guess I just need to look more into this.
