Love that Anniversary Ring.

In the last few days, all i've been up to mostly is lvling with Xean. On Wednesday, we put a party together and invited our friend Alianne who came on his SMN. We also ended up having a friend of mine from Dynamis come on his Galka WAR, Gimli.

At first our party wasn't really pulling in too much xp because as usual, Caedarva Mire was overcamped. When we had gotten there, things had been quiet enough that there was only a little bit of competition. But within about 15 minutes, I think 2 new parties had come and began camping near us. One of the parties was a merit roaming party which took nearly every imp we tried to get our hands on, so xp for the first hour was slow.

Eventually though we had our RDM replace himself with a BRD, and soon after another RDM joined and replaced one of our DDs. I thought it was a tad overdoing it with all the refresh and would of preferred another DD, but things weren't so bad and later in the night as parties left our xp/hr got much better. We actually gained a full lvl getting to 69 that night, though that was mostly due to the new Anniversary Ring that SE released which gives an extra 3k experience points per use. Its only too bad that the ring has only 10 charges and as far as we know, it can't be recharged.

I also managed to take my clothcraft on Zerayla to 22. I'm hoping to get her clothcraft up in the next few weeks as long as it doesn't make a big dent in my pocket. I want to be able to craft Xean his ninja tools for slow without having to log into my mule Tahla which is usually how I make them... its really inconvenient having to craft on my mule when I want to be seeking for parties >_<

And then last night, I had originally thought i'd be doing a sky ls event and earning some more points, but after sending some tells to one of the leaders and not getting a response, I assumed nothing was happening so I geared up on my SMN 16 and headed to the dunes. On the way, I got an invite which was short lived because the moment I zoned into Valkurm, the other SMN in the party had to leave and when I made it to camp, the leader said he was going to head to San d'Oria and a minute later the party was gone. I really wish if people decide to be leader for a party, that they would take the responsibility and be a good one.... this leader should have done a bit more to keep the party together.

So anyways, I went to the entrance to Selbina and tried raising my summoning magic skill which unfortunately isn't capped ^^;. After about 40 minutes of seeking, Xean logged on and said he'd be up for partying so I warped back to whitegate and geared up on my WHM.

We waited about 2hrs before we finally got an invite, and it took us about 40 minutes to get everyone to the camp because we chose to go through Nyzul to get to a remote island of Caedarva Mire where there would be no competition for Imps. The xp was pretty good, but unfortunately the party didn't get past 2hrs because our RDM had to leave and as usual, at these lvls there is never a replacement seeking for the refreshing role so we had to disband.

Next update i'm probably going to post some pics of the .dats i'm going to install for my WHM gear. I want to change it up a little... but it all depends on whether I can find anything good for Elvaan Females without making my character look trashy.
