Last night ended up being a busy night but not everything started on time. Volleyball went well, got to play against a guy I used to play against and with but his team was terrible last night and we DESTROYED them. That was really fun whoopin on them too.
After that I rushed home because we were supposed to have Salvage. Well we had 5 of us ready to roll again but Dray was afk. So we got really fed up with it and started talking about better hours for everyone and possibly just kicking some people. We eventually dropped our Gigidy pearls and started using Caol's pearl called Cero. After over an hour we got a few more people on and ready to go so we geared up to go and then Dray came back too. Caol has us laid out for doing some QQA and QQTH which I'm quite happy about since they drop the 35s for Ares and Morrigan body pieces. Overall it was a good run but it was still not nearly as efficient as it needs to be. There was one point Caol d/c'd because he lost power and then Redge just started pulling random mobs for no reason because he thought it would be fun to just kill stuff. Well, we still hadn't done the QQA or the Chariot for the floor we were on so it was looking to be a brilliant waste of time until dray and I said we should go do the QQA at least for that floor. Finally Redge agreed to it, after running us to somewhere on the map where only Dray was supposed to be. So Dray popped the QQA by opening the door and we got the kill but no drop. After that we had about 5 min and then Caol and Redge want us to try to the Chariot but don't realize that we're running around with 2 aggro'd mobs so they rush in, pull the Chariot, mages die from trying to take care of the aggro, DD go down, and then there is Khrone and I left with like 10 seconds left. I get off a lucky Lullaby and sleep the mob on me but since I still didn't have SJ I couldn't cure Khrone at all and he had about 100 HP with the Chariot and a Rampart on him. With neither of my Lullabies up I couldn't do anything except stand there and tell him to try to use his firefly to get out. He told me he got to like 80% on the firefly when he died and literally not even 2 seconds later we get zoned out. I was the only one left alive with about 45 HP.
Like I said, overall it wasn't a bad run but there were things that definitely could've gone better like calling of cells much faster. The passing of cells was still good, but as you can't expect it to be super fast every time I couldn't really have expected much faster for our group. We did a good job of getting cells and following directions, but I still think we spent too much time trying to get cells for everyone. Sometimes we need to just cut our losses and move on, even if some DD don't have weapons. Going with the 9 that we did can be a hinderance more than a help sometimes because you try to unlock so much for so many people and it just takes too long. I do feel we are getting some good experience and we are all getting a better idea of what to expect. Not until we do full runs of all the zones do I think we will really have this stuff down.
Once we finished Salvage some of us decided to head up to sky. It was a pretty good day for sky since they made like 6M in sold items plus the gil items that dropped. I almost got my W Hands but I decided to just pass it to the buyer. Passing it will give me a little more desire to keep going up to sky because then I still have something to get. After W Hands all of my points will go towards payout and Haidate for Screamin and then if I'm still doing sky I guess just Osodes.
I do really want to get back to MNK some more because I want to get crack-a-lackin hard core on Maat's Cap again. Basically get my 2 nights a week in sky and then Salvage and exp will be my life. Too bad I won't have a chance to do any of that because my gf will be in town this weekend so there goes my game time.
Quote of the Day(this is actually a day old):
Khrone: So during my nap I was dreaming about Sneak Attacking, but not mobs, Mithra.
Me: You know rape is illegal right, even on Mithra?
