There is hope for this game

So to finish off THF I logged back in in Gustav Tunnel and there were 2 guys killing everything at my camp. At first I was kinda bummed, but then they realized I was going for the goblin pets and left the goblin BSTs alone. They were 2 JP guys that didn't speak any English but were very nice. I mean, they even cried for me the one time I died.

All in all I did get to level 50 on THF and was very happy. This means I am now done with THF for a very long time, which makes me very happy. It just did not seem like anyone wanted to invite a THF even though I was a good DD simply because I understood HOW to play the job. And knowing is half the battle... GI JOOOOOOOOOOE!!!!!!!! Oh, um... Yeah, but groups just didn't like inviting me so I had to try to make deal and go solo.

I am actually very happy that I am done with THF, not only because I am done with a job I haven't really been having fun with but because I get to open up a bunch of inventory space now. I think starting last night I had about 5 open slots, now after sending a bunch of stuff back to my mule I have about 15 spots and still stuff that needs to be sold. Not to mention the next job on my list will be a very liked job ... PLD! One of the biggest problems with starting a party is finding a tank and since I will be one, and hopefully a well geared one, I shouldn't have any problems at all getting a party.

PLD will be a good change of pace because for one I won't have to carry all that extra gear around and I can start showing how much I'm learning about all of these jobs that I am playing. My goal will be to get all of these jobs at some point to 75 and actually KNOW how to play them and play them all pretty well. PLD is one that kind of worries me because I have to know what I need to do to hold strong hate even over a very good DD. I have been toying around a little on Screamineagle's but it is still hard sometimes because I'm not exactly sure what I should be doing and when and all of that jazz. Learning the ins and outs of the job is what leveling is all about though, so when I hit 50 I believe I will be pretty confident tanking end game since I don't really get anything new besides gear between 50 and 75.

I guess more than anything I am looking forward to having a job that I should be able to get quick parties on and be able to speed through levels again. There is something about the grind of leveling that makes it so rough, but there is something completely different about blitzing through levels. The grind is tough because you really feel like it is a struggle for every party you get and every mob you fight, but when you are blitzing through levels it almost becomes second nature to you and you hardly notice how fast you are going. I dunno, I guess I will just have to wait and see how it goes when I actually gear it up and go.

This weekend is another weekend of visiting my gf because it is a home OSU football game and they are playing Penn State which means a HUGE game. Basically whoever wins this puts themself in contention for the National Championship game. But all that means that I won't be gaming until Sunday and I have a feeling I may be joining Sush's Sky LS on Sunday as well. I could really use the steady flow of gil as an income to help pay my way to some new good gear and help pay for my leveling because when I get to RNG its going to get expensive. Not to mention only looking forward to Maat's Cap doesn't have the incentive that it did before. I'd really like to have some of the Shura gear waiting for me when I get high enough and be able to snag some w legs .... :D and some N gear to be able to make my WAR worth while and DRG when I get it there. Its just there are always spots I could upgrade on all of my jobs. So I guess that's it for now. Have a good weekend.

Quote of the Day:
Irwin: Hmm, pretty good. You have check-mate in five moves.
[moves a piece]
Enriquez: [pause] How come you're still playing if I have check mate in five moves?
Irwin: 'Cause I have check-mate in three.
- The Last Castle, good movie, saw most of it again last night on one of my HD channels :D
