Then I woke up on Saturday to help do promyvion-holla, which was going to be my last promyvion i'd be doing for a while. I had decided I needed to take a break from leading promyvion statics because I had come to a point where I wasn't really enjoying all the baggage that comes with it. So often, people would be unprepared. Sometimes people would be late, other times people just wouldn't show up because of things beyond their control. And of course, there is always the annoying part of having to mule over all my gear which is a pain in the butt because it takes a full hour out of my gaming time for saturdays... So I had talked with those who had signed up for the statics, and asked if they thought they could continue without me because for the most part I was just leading them up there, and giving them a strategy that pretty much guaranteed a win. Luckily, they were no complaints and even a few members stepped up willing to lead future runs until i'm ready to get back into these again.
But in the end, we didn't end up doing a promy that morning because 3 members were MIA. I would of replaced them if needed, but that would mean duplicating the effort because eventually we'd have to do that promyvion a second time for those that weren't there. So in the end, those that did show decided to call it off and reschedule for next week, which Myrrh volunteered to organize (thank you Myrrh!~)
After that, me and Xean put our seeks up and within about 30 minutes we got an invite. It was the complete opposite to what happened to us the weekend before, because we had our seeks up for over 4hrs before we got an invite x_x
But anyways, we headed to Bhaflau thickets to kill crawlers and birds. We did pretty good, and were probably getting a good 7k/hr but with only about 2hrs into the party, 3 of the members had to leave so it was decided that we would disband. I was a little upset because I was only 2k tnl and the party had been doing very well. I'm sure if it had gone for another 2-3hrs I could of even gained another lvl.
So we went back to whitegate, put our seeks up. It was at that point that Kagemusha, a PLD tarutaru in our LS was saying how it was a shame that Xean was a NIN, because we were all at the same lvl and it would be pointless to have 2 tanks. But we talked a bit, and decided that we'd give it a try and just have Xean bring his DD gear and Kage would be the tank.
Surprisingly, Xean did really well as a DD. Well I guess its no surprise that he did well, but it was a surprise that a NIN at that lvl could outparse a DRK with a Kraken Club and some other good weapon (can't recall if it was a sword). This party was going pretty well, aside from the time Kage got one shotted by the fire breath attack the crawlers do. But then again, I remember once being one-shotted myself when I had tanked these on my PLD and I had over 1k HP so its really just random as to how much dmg it will do because I even had barfira up at all times.
But in the end, this pt was cut short because our RDM, d/ced. I'm under the impression he forced his disconnection, but then that would be because I have a bias against this prick. Back when I was a lvl 30 WAR, I had been camping Spook to make some gil and he came out on his lvl 75 THF I think, and brought a ton load of bats he had claimed and made link. He then proceeded to step on top of me to make sure the bats would interfere with me claiming. Everytime i'd move, he'd move right on top of me. I even remember trying to be nice and asking him to please remove himself, but of course being the ass that he was, he ignored me. I'm glad I didn't have to party any longer with that arrogant prick Ojsimp, but at the same time he was the reason we had to disband 30 minutes later because we couldn't find a refresher. ; ;
Finally when we were back in whitegate, I got an invite from a JP player. I had him invite Xean and soon we found ourselves in a pt with 3 THFs. I was a little hesitant, but when they confirmed we'd be fighting colibri which THFs can do piercing dmg to I figured i'd give it a go. And then we were joined by Kagemusha which I think made Xean a little happy because it would mean he didn't have to spend as many of his tools an he would be able to use his DD gear. The party was a little slower than our first, but we still did pretty good and me and Xean got our lvls. We're now NIN and WHM 66. Only 9 more lvls to go!
And other than that, we tried to do the KSNM30 Double Dragonian for Kelyon so he could get his destroyers. Our setup looked to be fine, but the WAR dragon ended up wiping our pt when we got him down to about 30%. Luckily though, we were all out of aggro range and Myrrh was able to raise all of us to try again... but that didn't go so well and again when we got him down to about the same %, he wiped us all. I blame the second part though on the fact that my Sleep II was resisted. I had used ES + Sleep II the first time which worked, but when the second DRG awoke, and I didn't have ES available and had to shoot out a regular Sleep II which only lasted about 10 seconds before he ate Myrrh and then me.
I think maybe if we had a BLM to help nuke, stun and also cover the second ES + Sleep II we would of won but our setup had been WHM, RDM, NIN, MNK, MNK, SAM. Because we had wiped, we just decided that maybe it would be best to try again later with a better setup.
Oh, and my tree saplings that I had planted finally were harvested.... but I was 0/10 with ice ores -_-
It wasn't that bad of a loss though, I had about 6 stacks of platinum leaves which sell for 20k each so I made a nice little profit considering I had farmed my tree cuttings and grew them into tree saplings. So while it is a little bit of profit, it just takes forever to see any. I still have 10 saplings on one of my other mules which should be able to be harvested this week. I hope I manage to get a few fire ores out of that batch, because the gear that Xean's been looking at for his NIN is gonna make us both broke very soon >_>;;
