@ 200

200 levels to go!!! I didn't realize until this morning but I guess me hitting 49 on DRG last night but me right at 200 to go til Maat's Cap. Wooooooo hooooooooooooo!

Last night was another night filled with RL stuff. Got my hair cut right after work and it was a total disaster! The guy obviously in his "20 years of experience" hasn't learned how to cut my hair correctly. I am probably going to have to get it retrimmed because he buzzed the front of my hair and left the top long. At first glance at the barber shop it looked good but when I got home I realized how TERRIBLE it really was. I mean the front part of my hair is maybe 1/3 of an inch long and the hair ontop of my head is about an inch long .... WHO DOES THAT?! Anyways, after that I had to go buy a tuxedo which was actually pretty inexpensive. Then I had enough time after that to run home and grab some toast and test out my knee at volleyball. I only played the last of the 3 games but my knee was feeling pretty good at that point. This morning it isn't feeling tip top shape so I'm thinking the only 1 night a week thing is probably best ... well 1 night a week at most.

Once I finished all of that I got home and watched the rest of the Presidential Debate and then hoped on to get my 2 levels on DRG. I have finally figured out how to spawn the raptor somewhere else ... just keep killing it until it spawns somewhere else. lol But once the raptor was gone I got my DRG rolling through the exp, or at least rolling for as much as I was paying attention. I always seem to get distracted now-a-days and my exp starts to tail off. When I started I was doing about 9k/hr with my ring and at one point I dropped to as low as 3.5k/hr without my ring. Of the whole time I was out there I was probably averaging about 6k/hr, which is still pretty good solo.

I'm definitely looking forward to 51 and the uncapping of exp. It is going to be great to be able to break through that 300 exp at chain 5 cap and see like 500 exp chain 5s ... if I can do it. AU parties I think will roll really well because its like the level 37 Colibri camp without an exp cap. This is just bringing me closer and closer to my goal and I'm getting excited about it.

The only problem I see is that when I actually get my jobs high enough to do end game and get gear for them I won't have any points or anything to actually get gear. Like I said in yesterday's post I am thinking about joining Sush's Sky LS just to start to gain some points and see if I can snag any gear I can from them. The only problem with that is if they fold before I get what I want ... like every other LS I've been in. I have actually also considered joining Swifman's HNM LS to see if I can use my almost complete Kirin pop set there to get myself W Legs ... which would be AMAZING. I don't know how I feel about camping HNMs and stuff though. The only bonus I can see to that is that while camping I can play my PS3 more or my Wii more and actually get more use out of those systems.

For basically the past week I have just been saying no to do stuff with Swifman and I feel bad because of it since he's almost always looking for something to do, even if its just exping his DRK. And since I told him I couldn't do Nyzul Isle with him again last night I decided that tonight when he gets on I'll try to put together a party and go to my favorite level 37 camp. My only problem I can see is that I would really like to have a DNC in the party because I know that Screamin's MP is going to run out pretty quickly so having that extra healing power to back me up could help a lot. I realize that that is one less big DD to have but it is still an attacker with healing skills. I'd rather have lower exp/hr that people dying because I have 0 MP to cure them with. The added bonus of being in the past is that I can give Screamin the extra Sigil refresh which should help a lot.

As for this evening, well, if all goes according to plan my THF will go from 37 to 41 pretty swiftly. If that goes according to plan maybe I can snag another level 37 person to fly through some more exp. I would've liked to have had THF done already because I highly doubt I'm going to hit my goal of all jobs to 50 by Oct 19th. Maybe I will rearrange my goal a little and say all jobs and at least most AF done by end of October. That sounds like a more reasonable goal for where I currently am. My biggest problem spot for AF is going to be Garbage Citadel since you technically need 4 people to basically keep running around through there to get keys and pop coffers. There is the trick where you can go to the past and then run to the one part where coffers are but there are only about 3 of the 7 coffer spots behind that door, but I guess its better than nothing right?

Quote of the Day:
Well I couldn't decide on a single quote but instead I will leave you with another blog to read ... trust me I was laughing so hard I was crying at some points in it.
