After one purely crappy day at work yesterday I had a pretty bad experience getting online. I got a party on WHM that was total trash but did net me 1 level on WHM. To prove what kind of trash this party was I was meleeing on WHM and at times was pulling hate ... SERIOUSLY PEOPLE?!?!?!
Once I decided to leave that party someone died almost immediately from stupidity which I got a chuckle out of. Then I was hoping to go farm some Sea capes with Mac, but he ended up spending the whole time doing BCNMs with Sush and Veng. So I decided to head up to whitegate and search for some shouts. Mind you this had been a totally crappy day and they only thing holding me afloat at this time was playing Secret of Mana on my Wii, which I honestly must say I'm having a lot of fun playing even though it is a relatively easy game, thus far. But I digress... Sitting in Whitegate is oh so fun especially seeing crappy shouts. Alas, I find a shout that I could be interested in, a floor 60 Nyzul Isle shout. I figure what they heck, I've got nothin better to do. Join the party and everyone puts up their search comments and this was the result: 5xAskar and me for Goliard. Needless to say I liked my odds of getting those cuffs. Not gonna lie, we were getting pretty screwed on our way up through the floors and then hit the boss and its Khimara, my least favorite boss. Once we put him down I nearly had a heartattack ... Goliard Cuffs dropped!!!!!1111ONEONEONE Yes, now I have 2 pieces of Nyzul Isle gear and both of them came from runs with Daunte. There was just one draw back, I had to change my RDM macros again from what I had just changed them to. The plus side though is that I have a new nuking and enfeebling piece for RDM and I believe BLM too and Morrigan Cuffs are no longer a high priority item for me. :D
Right about there is where kicked off again because it was a super slow night up in Sky. Sat around for maybe 2 full hours not doing anything in sky through out the night, but I did get to play some more Secret of Mana. lol At one point I got sick of waiting for instructions from the leaders so I started telling people what to do and pulling mobs and prepping for Ulli and such ... fun stuff. Oh, and they want to change the rules again for upping payout cost to 40 and making Sky mandatory so turning this into a all-or-nothing sky shell and I have a feeling there will be quite a few of us that will be peacing out at that point. I just can't take the drama or the lack of efficiency anymore, and its really starting to effect my work work. So when they do a big change in points I will be doing a big change in LSs as well and finding myself a new home to make some friends or just hang by myself and get stuff done that I want to. Anyways, the stress is piling up from this LS and I really shouldn't bother with it anymore because its literally not worth my health to fight it.

Free Time
It is nice having free time again. I actually get to relax and do as I please. What I have been doing a lot of lately has been SAM leveling which is pretty fun. I realize that I don't have the drive that I used to with leveling but its nice to see me cruising through all of these levels.
My SAM hit 58 last night just before logging off because I was so tired. I am now only 1 level from Hauby, 2 levels from AF helm to help with Meditate (which I don't have yet), 3 levels from Minuet earring, 3 levels from Amemet +1 (which is very welcome upgrade), and I guess 1 or 2 levels from a good weapon skill! So much to come in the next few levels that will really help my SAM do some extra damage and take Enpi and Jinpu out of my arsenal. The thing I dread is after these next few levels I will be hitting the dreaded 60s and not see much as far as upgrades to gear or job abilities or anything really. Sekkanoki at 65 will be pretty hot but other than that I'm just looking forward to the 70s when I get LOTS of upgrades.
There in lies another problem, stop at 66 or go to 75? I'd like to go to 75 but Khrone was saying that I should stop at 66 and keep rolling for Maat's Cap. This is such a struggle for me because as much as I'd love to still go for Maat's Cap I don't really know if I can make it without taking a real break from the LS and completely concentrating on leveling again. It is a real time sink for one of the best overall head pieces in the game but also quite an accomplishment. I think I'd still like to have SAM or MNK at 75 before I go for Maat's Cap again but that is another job to 66 that I could be using that exp on. Argh, I guess it'll be how I feel when I hit 66 and see where I want to go.
Nyzul Isle went better this week, but still not great. We won 2 runs this week with a bad incident that caused us to lose the one time. It was a lesson learned so we will be sure not to wipe on that NM again. The biggest problem was that we were 2/3, as in we only did 3 runs instead of the full 4 again that we were hoping to do. That's 2 weeks in a row now to not have done a full 4 runs which is kind of annoying since I sit on tags to get us going. When we don't use that tag its basically a wasted tag because I could've gone on another boss fight run with another group. Oh well, hopefully next week we can get 4 runs in before I bounce for Chicago. I should be able to get Sunday away from the woman because I will need to finish packing since we leave basically right after I get out of work on Monday. Then after the holidays I think we are going to try and start doing twice a week so we can really get us moving through these floors as we all really want to get to floor 100 ASAP. That way we can go back and start owning the other floors for gear and be working on our new weapon skills. I'm more looking forward to the good gear because the Goliard Hands and Body are really good upgrades for my RDM which are much welcome.
Tonight will be gf time since we're doing dinner and gift exchange tonight. So I doubt there will be an update tomorrow as I won't really have anything to talk about. Til next time.

Lean Back, Lean Back
Talk about lazy nights. I feel like I got nothing done last night but that I did a lot. Its probably because I went on 2 Nyzul Isle floor 80 runs and didn't have anything drop on the 1st run and didn't win the 2nd one because we ran out of time. The drop rates from these bosses is TERRIBLE! I have now been on 8 boss fight runs and have only seen 1 set of askar feet drop to only be won by a BST. This is just starting to get a little frustrating when you see all these other people with this nice gear and then you don't even see it drop. Which is almost the exact same situation with RDM AFv2 hat, I've only SEEN it drop once. I guess I still don't have any right to be at all emo because I do still have my W Legs.
As for the rest of the night I did some LS meriting and got 2 more merits which puts me at 3/5 Ice Acc on RDM now. Now I just have to USE my RDM again and it'll be worth it. Once I finish meriting Ice I think I'm going to move on from meriting. Besides meriting I also went out with Disdain and did some Campaigning on Screamineagle to try to get his BST a little closer to 74. He's now about 13 or 14k from 74 so I guess sitting him out there and doing campaign will not only help him get to 75 but it will also help rank him up beyond Emblems because I would still like to get the Iron Ram pants for him.
Outside of those 3 things I didn't do anything else, not even my guild item which I want to start doing again so I can get my apron and have more of a skill advantage when I try to do the big gap synths. Next for synthing I think I'm going to do Demon's Knives which are 73. That way the gap for coral hairpins are even less of a jump and I will have BC+2 by then hopefully. So 73+2 to 77 is not bad at all and I really shouldn't fail too much. I may even go sit in the BC guild to get the free guild support to put me at 73+3 which means I should be successful about 90% of the time. And seeing that I just discovered there is a mini guild in Al Zahbi I can just get the support there as long as the NPCs haven't been taken. I could actually start doing this this weekend which would help me get a jump start on getting to 80BC and being able to crank out RR hairpins and making some steady gil. Ahhhh, the prospect of having a steady income outside of Sky is a very good feeling since that means I will have the gil to buy more stuff that actually interests me like a Vermy or being able to pay for Salvage gear once I get back to it. I have a feeling after New Years I'm going to try to put together a group because I will probably be slowing down with sky and Sush will probably have everything he needs/wants which basically just leaves me to trying to get a few more good people like Mac and Dray together to be able to rock out and get some nice gear. The only problem is that a lot of us would be fighting over Morrigan and only about 2 people fighting for Usu which would be great for Khrone, but crappy for me. Hehe, see how easily I get sidetracked?!
Tonight I have Dynamis right after work which means I have to fly home to try to make it on time, but I am very excited it'll be an icelands because that means GOOD GEAR!!! Hopefully we have people show up and we get some good drop rates. Basically right after Dynamis I will have to start getting ready for volleyball and then I will be coming home for sky right afterwards. I've got quite a busy night tonight.
On a side note, just before I went to sleep last night I thought about 2 things ... Morrigan's Robe and RDM AFv2 hat. Yes, I'm an addict and I admit it. lol

Lacking progress
First off, Brian made me 2 pretty slick loooking sigs. I dunno how I feel about wearing the AFv2 Hat and Dalmatica in them because it kinda just makes me think about end game which I don't do at all right now. Knowing that, it doesn't take away at all from how cool they look.

I did get some things done in game last night, but again not nearly what I hoped. I started and finished my AF weapon quest for SAM which is good because then I could sell my other GKT and just use my AF weapon until 50. After that I went for a choco ride and got my exp scroll to push my MNK closer to 50 which it is now just a little over 3k to 50. The choco race actually ended in Bastok so I figured I should at least go flag my AF weapon quest for MNK since I was there already. After that I had to run off somewhere.
When I came back there was some drama going on at my house and I was just trying to stay quiet in my room while it all went down. Then while it was going down Swifman asked me if I wanted to go try out some Nyzul Isle with him and some of his LS and I finally broke down and went. We were trying to go from 51-55 and ended up failing because someone read the directions wrong on the second last floor which we could've easily won after then, but oh well. I also ended up getting the BLM staff which is pretty cool. If at all possible I would LOVE to get the mythic weapon for BLM because it is just OMFGWTFBBQ good, but I know I never will. :P I probably should've just passed on it now that I think about it because there's no way in Hades that I will have a chance of completing it and as for the WS ... I'm never gonna use it on BLM ... oh well.
After that I decided to get my butt back to SAM and I ended up only getting 1 level on it which brings me to 43. I decided since I did so well at 44 in Cape Terrigan I was gonna try to go there at 43 on my SAM. So I have myself and Screamin sitting in Bastok ready to tele out to Altepa and then make the walk to Cape Terrigan through Kuftal and then rape some rabbits. And if all goes according to plan I should be able to hit 48 just tonight out there. If I can break out 5 levels tonight it will put me more on track to where I need to be, but still leaves me behind on where I want to be. We can't have everything we hope though right?
Goal for tonight: SAM at 48
