Spending Points

I actually spent points in HellsBells last night! It was craziness! Too bad it wasn't on a RDM Hat, but instead on a RNG belt. But hey, that is one great belt and I can level into it too. So it does feel good to finally get some good gear from HB instead of just showing up and hoping for a free drop or something.

Another big bonus from last night was hitting 74 on MNK. 74 isn't really a landmark or anything, its just that it means I only need 1 more level to finish off exping MNK. I'm about 3k into 74 now and really hoping for an exp party but not having ANY luck at all. The other big boost I got last night was finding out about a Campaign Ops that can get me a little bit of exp but quick exp. Its nothing that makes me go OMG OMG OMG, but I got like 3k exp in about 20 minutes which is awesome. Sadly you can only get 1 tag a day and can only save up to 7 at a time. What makes this really awesome is that you can do this with multiple people at once. So I can go with Treu and Screamin and do Slaughterhouse 3 on one char and Slaughterhouse 2 on the other but get exp for both chars. Basically it means I get double exp for my 2 chars! That means I could get about 4400 exp per week in under an hour which ain't too shabby when you don't have to fight anything at all and I'm getting it on 2 characters at once. Brilliant!

Now the final grind begins with me finishing off my MNK. It is semi exciting now especially because I get a HUGE boost in gear when I hit 75 with Byakko's Haidate and Walahra Turban. It also seems like maybe by the time I hit 75 I'll have my egg for Black Belt too. Then I think I'm really gonna let loose on merit parties and finish off the merits that I'm really hurting for. I have so many merits that I need and it doesn't help that I'm going to have another job at 75 to merit with and get merits for. For MNK alone I'm going to want H2H and a few other random merits. Then for BRD I'm going to want to cap Troubador at least for HNMs like Khim and not to mention doing Minuet and probably Madrigal. That right there is like 40 merits and that still doesn't even cover SAM or RDM or a few more merits I want to throw into Archery for when I start doing RNG. SO MUCH EXP STILL TO DO!!!

I am excited at least to finish off MNK and move on to something else. Meriting will be a good change of pace from Campaign though. Getting on to something different is always good because you get that sense of fulfilment finishing something and moving on to something else. Gimme my gold star!
