285

It was nice, I actually had some free time from my girlfriend last night to actually attend an event. What wasn't nice is that I shouldn't have wasted my time GOING to the even because it did not do anything for me besides lose exp on my BLM. And boy do I love exping on my BLM...

Let's start at the beginning of the weekend shall we. Friday, a little exp on DRG. Saturday, a little more exp on DRG. Then Sunday, even more exp on my DRG which is now level 24. I feel pretty good about getting my DRG that far with the little time that I've had. It really should be further along but I have this problem of me continually dying on it. Considering I am PLing myself I shouldn't have this problem but I can't seem to help it. Also, I seem to remember being able to charm crabs at level 24 in Qufim but I have yet to find even an EM crab to charm. Then my wyvern keeps getting whooped on because he seems to have higher ACC than I do. Something else I discovered this weekend was the difference in damage I was doing on certain mobs. Piercing weak mobs get OWNED by DRGs. I was probably averaging about 30-35 per swing on regular mobs, but on like flies or bats I was averaging about 40-45 per swing. I love seeing the damage like that with my gimp gear. haha

Hopefully before I leave for PA in 6 days I will have either my PLD at 35 or my DRG at about 32. I'd like to get one of those quite a bit further along just to help out with my job level total since I won't be able to get any further next week. Magic number right now is 285. 285 job levels until Maat's Cap :D Such a small number is easily attainable ... right??? Oh who am I kidding, I doubt I will be able to get Maat's by the end of this year. But you know what, if nothing else I will have tons of jobs at at least 50 which will be nice. There are still other factors that may deter me from continuing on my quest though, such as Morrigan or other new sets of gear. I am hoping at some point I will have Morrigan gear rockin and a rolling in my inventory because it would be oh so glorious to have. ^^ But until I can get that I will still have the goal of Maat's as my true long term goal.

I was also able to make it to Dynamis-Sandy, yay..., but still didn't get my BRD's Hat. There was quite the disaster too that ended up wasting about 50 min of our time with when we killed the last trigger NM we were still camping where the boss pops and basically just whiped completely with only ... 1 person alive who didn't have raise. After a huge ordeal we were able to raise everyone up, then do another mostly wipe because of a dumb WHM, and get back up and finish off the boss with a RDM as our main puller the whole time.

After a worthless dynamis run I went out with Disdain, who is FINALLY back online, for a little SMN fun. We have been doing pretty well with our SMN so far but our current camp is too low for us now as we just hit 33. Hopefully we can find a new place to rock and roll through now, even though at this lvl SMN aren't too too great of a DD. Thunderspark has still been doing a good job of slappin around mutliple mobs that we fight which is nice because it lets us keep our chains going and is still one of our more powerful BPs. I really would be excited about taking SMN up to 50 pretty quickly if I had the time, but sadly I don't since its summer.

I think that is a good enough update for today. Tonight will probably be a bunch of helping Khrone get his Asuran Fists and maybe putting a group together to go do Double Dragonian to get his Destroyers. Then he can be a real MNK and be much less gimp.
