Yeah, it was apparently a one day affair since I'm now 70 Bonecraft. It was quite painless to hit 70 because I was almost exactly breaking even so there was no harm no foul as I could still try to fish up more Shall Shells on Screamin.
Oh, that reminds me, I found some Rogue Rigs on the AH so I snagged 2 of them. That was really nice because that meant I could get back to fishing and making myself some lovely gil. What else was really sweet was last night I hit 3 out of 4 HQ2s in a row, which meant 15k in the bag in a manner of about 1 minute! I still have yet to get a full stack of Black Pearls but I have over 2 stacks of Pearls which is good for me. The problem is I don't know if I should sell these or hold on to them and craft them on my way to 80 BC. My biggest draw back right now is that Coral Fragments are 15k A PIECE!!! I mean, I understand I'm going to be losing some gil until I can actually craft the RR pins but this is pretty retarded the amount that I would be sinking in gil.
Now that I got completely sidetracked on what I was writing I guess I will just close this entry up. Probably planning on resting a lot this weekend as I don't really feel too well so fishing and meriting could be in the game plan. Hopefully I can get a bunch more shall shells to make myself some decent gil to fall back on.

69!!!
That is, I got 69 on Bonecraft last night. It was actually really easy to get and I'm pretty sure I was breaking even just NPCing my result. I could actually finish off to 70 on the same synth which I think I may do now since its really simple. Getting the extra level on Bonecraft will also help me HQ Shall Shells which I am going to be trying to do for gil. I have about 5 stacks of them sitting on Screamin right now from when I was leveling his Fishing which I was doing again last night.
Which brings me to more bad news, I broke the line and lost the Robber Rig. That is the best way of catching Shall Shells in Bubu and now I can't find ANY for sale. I actually put up on ffxiah.com that I wanted 2x Robber Rigs just as a back up. Hopefully I can find someone that will be willing to sell me one because that is going to be my money maker while I skill up Screamin's Fishing skill. Argh, its just so frustrating that as soon as I skilled up my Bonecraft to the T3 HQ level I lose my rig to GET the shall shells ... pisses me off. DAMN YOU GAME!!!!
Fishing and synthing would be perfect for this weekend too because my gf is in town which leaves me just about no time for meriting or getting anything else done. This is where crafting can really get nice because it takes very little time and I can actually get other RL stuff done in the process. Now I just have to figure out what my next synth will be after hitting 70. Maybe I will get back to crafting the materials for RR Hairpins. This also means I should get back to getting more guild points for my BC skill+ items. Bleh, so much to do and no time to do it in.
As far as sky went, we got a bunch more pop items but didn't do any gods. Tonight they are going to try for Kirin but I doubt they will have the people and as I'm one of the BRDs it will probably be a problem. Hopefully they just do more farming tonight so next week we can do like 3 days in a row of Kirins and lots of lesser gods. I'm really more looking forward to lesser gods because there is a lot of junk gear I'd like from them.
I suppose my only real goal for this extended weekend will be merit a little more, craft, and try to jump in on a couple nyzul isle runs to try and snag some gear.

Back On Track
Let me start off by saying my bro is a lucky mofo. He really hasn't worked TOO hard for anything in this game and yet there he stands with his 75 MNK in a Shura Togi, Melee Gloves, and his new shiney Destroyers. In all the years that I have been playing this game and doing sky my W Legs was the first thing I got from Kirin and yet I'm pretty sure he got his Shura Togi before I got my W Legs, what a butt. He really is lucky that I play this game otherwise he'd probably only be hitting 75 about now. But yeah, we grabbed some LS people and went up and got him his Destroyers, which is probably the quickest KS30 I've done since it only takes about 5 min to do the whole fight and walk people out. On the bright side of that I did get an O Ingot which is some good gil so I'm happy.
After that we went up to sky and tore up a ton of gods. Sadly I was about to get W Hands but I zoned out they dropped to someone else by accident ... oh well. I can easily get those the next god run because they are a pretty common drop and no one wants them. I am pretty pissed about missing a butt load of points right now becauase I should be way higher in the standings than I am because they can't find who did points for 2 days last week. Ugh, whatever, I just all of a sudden got in a bad mood even though I shouldn't really be because I'm probably still next in line for Haidate. There are still a bunch of junky items I wouldn't mind bidding for like a bunch of Heca and Shura gear and of course the W Hands that I should've gotten last night.
I'm pretty well shot for the rest of the week because the gf is in town and I'm sure she'll take up all of my time like she always does. Ok, I'll just stop because now I'm just venting my anger right now. Odds are I won't have any updates the rest of this week because I doubt I'll be online at all.

Treading Water
The numbers lately in our LS have been kind of lacking. Last night we didn't even have 12 people show up but we still got almost every trigger mob in sky. We got MG, SC, Zip, Faust, Water, and Despot which really only leaves out Ulli and BB. When the one group got the water we had the BLM blowing up stats at Ulli and never got a dio even after about 2 hours of strictly farming dio.
On the bright side I did almost get 2 more merits which will be going into my enfeebling magic to get me to 7/8 and then I will be dumping them into Ice Acc on RDM. Tonight, since I have nothing else to do, I will be meriting again to get some more merits into my RDM because I know that still has a lot of work since my Bind was resisted on Zip a couple times which I was not happy about. The one thing I hate in this game is either missing on a melee job or not landing a spell. Guess that means I have more work to do meriting. One thing I have come to the realization of is that I don't really have any intention of FULLY meriting any of the jobs because that is just such a time sink and honestly I don't feel that is the best use of my time because I could be leveling a job that I could be having fun with instead.
As far as meriting goes, I will probably get about 10-20 more merits before calling it quits for meriting for a while because I know I'm going to get bored with it. After that it will be back to either SAM or MNK and as of right now I'm leaning more towards SAM. Right now I honestly don't feel the huge urge to merit or level another job, I'd really like to get some new upgraded gear and do some other instance type events like limbus or salvage, salvage being the higher of priorities. I'd even be just happy finishing off my Assaults and doing loads of KSNM, BCNM, and ISNMs.
As I said earlier, tonight is going to be meriting and then more sky. Hopefully tonight we can do a bunch more farming and maybe take down a few gods. Here's to hoping we have good attendence tonight because we have a lot of pop sets we are sitting on now.

The End in Sight?
It seems as though the end of the LS may be within sight because Sush and Mac both just joined Dynamis Dominators. They only have runs on Wednesday nights during our sky runs but I definitely see a trend of attendence going down. Last night we only had about 8 or so people in sky and only 2 of us were on mage jobs. All we got to do was get a water and pop Olla. Its nice because I'm pretty sure we needed it but the sad part was that we need MG more and we didn't have enough to do her.
Hopefully afer Thanksgiving is over with people will be back in the swing of things and everyone showing up again. I am still hoping to snag some more pieces of gear before this LS disbands because I know its going to happen eventually, just when is what I don't know. If nothing else I will try to snag a few more seals or pop sets so I can have my own Kirin pop set in the waiting or be able to sell the full set to be able to have the gil for a Haidate. This is all just guessing though because I don't know how long this LS will last, because it could keep going strong for a few months for all I know.
Lets just say I wouldn't be crying myself to sleep every night if the shell did break as long as I could get some pop items out of it. The past month was well worth it because of the new friends that I've made and became closer to some other friends, and the W Legs didn't hurt either. hehe But now that I have W Legs everything else doesn't seem that important for me because in sky there really isn't that much more I NEED. Honestly I should probably look more for a sea or limbus or even ZNM group because those would be better suited for my needs. Or heaven forbid that I actually find a salvage group to roll with again. There is still the posibility of me getting back to working towards Maat's Cap too, or even if its just leveling a few jobs that I really want to level like SAM or MNK.
As for this tonight and this weekend I will be gone until Sunday so no update tomorrow. I will probably end up meriting on Sunday since I have a lot of work to do on my RDM still especially now that I may actually start using it in groups again (if I join any other groups). I supposed my future in what I will be doing in game will change in the next few weeks drastically again so I will just have to roll with it and see where I end up.

Run Run Run
... as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'M THE W LEGS MAN!!! It was really fun to actually use my W Legs for kiting and pulling mobs and such. Granted it was only sky farming in which it was a really bad night, but it was still nice to be able to run around with my W Legs and actually USE my RDM for once.
Last night did make me realize I need to rethink my laziness of macros and redo them on my RDM and probably upgrade some gear. I really don't want to upgrade too much right now though because I still doubt I'll be doing too much with it. First thing first though is meriting like a mofo. There is a laundry list of merits that I need to get now and to upgrade. My current order that I think I will be doing is:
1) Troubador (3)
2) Enfeebling magic (6)
3) Ice Acc (12)
4) Wind Acc (14)
5) Phalanx 2 (15)
6) Ice Potency (9)
7) Lightning Potency (12)
8) Minuet (14)
Oy, that's a LOT of meriting. That's 85 merits of knocking out birds. Lets see, assuming 1.5merits/hr, that leaves me at about 57 hours of meriting! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I don't know how I feel about capping everything then. Maybe I will just get a good start on some of them like the potencies or Phalanx 2 because I don't really NEED them capped but a few more in them would be nice to have. Minuet isn't even really a priority but it would be very nice to have for merit parties since that will be just about all I will be using for meriting I'm assuming.
As for anything else going on in FFXI I can't really say anything is going on. Tonight will be my last night until Sunday because I'm going to see my gf again for an extended weekend since its M*ch*g@n weekend. I'll be back in the swing of things fresh Sunday night though ... probably meriting. lol I have a feeling the next few weeks are going to be pretty dull for my blog since it'll basically just be meriting and sky. Hopefully I can snag some good gear though!

THEY ARE MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!
CRIMSON CUISSES ARE NOW MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I would just like to say I have been in a few different sky shells and been doing sky for 3+ years. In 1 month, less than actually, I got W Legs in this shell .... ITS AMAZING!!! Now its time for me to start picking up the other little unnecessary gear like Heca hands and feet or if no one wants them Dryadic head and legs. Or I could snag some W Hands too which wouldn't hurt. I know it won't take too long to get me to Haidate because I'm still ahead of a bunch of other people so I'm not really worried. Now is when I need to cash in on as much cheap gear as I can while I can in case, heaven forbid, something goes wrong with this LS and it breaks.
As soon as W Legs dropped to me I made sure everyone had a way out of sky and then I ran to Jeuno and then to N. Sandy to get them uncursed so I could run around in them. I have plenty of pictures that I will hopefully remember to put up when I get home from work tonight. While I was running to Sandy Ukatsu asked if anyone wanted to join a group that he was in for a floors 96-100 run in Nyzul Isle and I was all about it especially because I would've been the only one that was going to be lotting on Goliard. Too bad we didn't do so well on floor 99 and wasted like 5 extra minutes that were definitely needed on the 100th floor. Since they had problems with the switches in order I was kiting 3 mobs around with my W Legs until they got it figured out. Finally they did, we got to the 100th floor and they just dove right into it w/o really giving me a chance to heal them to full and get some MP back so I had half MP and was the only healer, needless to say things didn't work out so well. It was actually just fun to kite things using my new W Legs, hehehe.
One thing I did realize though is that I will need a Vermy now ... until I get morrigan's of course. Now I won't have auto refresh while running around on RDM because I would need to be wearing full Yigit which can't happen when I have W Legs on. I am also going to have to rethink my macros because I will need a running or kiting macro because manually going into my inventory every time to put them on isn't going to fly. Time to rethink my RDM macros I guess.
Something else that worked out perfectly last night was that I finished PLD to 50. Now I can dump some of the none useful gear to the AH and the rest to my mule and free up some more space. Its nice only having the 2 jobs below 50 for Maat's Cap now, but sadly Maat's has no long become a priority. If I do get back to leveling a job though it will probably be SAM because I think it will be a lot of fun and its a job I actually would like to take all the way to 75. For now though it'll be meriting to make myself a lot better of a RDM and BRD.
Tonight will be sky and meriting so I can get Troubador for BRD to finish off the Troubador/Nightengale combo for Kirin burns. After that I will be finishing off my RDM merits to make myself a better bind/grav kiter for when I need it. Not to mention I should just finish off Enfeebling magic to 8/8 already too since it'll help all of my enfeebs on all of my jobs. This is getting really exciting again. I am getting really pumped to be switching around my priorities again and doing stuff that I haven't done in a while which is exactly what going for Maat's Cap was originally anyways. More fun shall be had tonight for sure!!!
