Then on Tuesday SpiftasticAdventures did Dynamis San d'Oria. Originally it had been planned to do Sandy, but because another LS was going to be entering a few hours before us most of the leaders had decided to switch to Windurst so that if the LS that entered before us got all extensions, we wouldn't be stuck waiting 30 minutes minimum to enter. Unfortunately though, because of the update earlier in the day and not knowing if we'd have enough people to do Windurst a change was made, and we had to do San d'Oria.
At first we were expecting to have about a 30 minute delay because of the LS that had entered first, but they had actually been 30 minutes late entering so in the end we didn't get to enter Dynamis until 60 minutes later than originally planned. I was a little aggravated because not only was this going to make the event go past midnight which I wasn't going to be able to handle because of work the next morning, but I had pretty much sat around waiting for more than 2 hrs doing nothing when I could have been farming or doing something better with my time. Meh.
The run was going pretty well, I didn't main tank this time around because we had decided that with a 3 week break I will be taking soon, we should have the other PLDs get more experience tanking because they'll have to take over when i'm gone. I actually don't mind being backup tank, I like being able to heal other party members that might not have a healer in their party and I've been trying to kite mobs more often, especially the stones because we don't have enough Ninja's to take on the duties.
I'd say one of the good things that happened during the run was that I managed to get myself the SMN AF feet, which seem to be pretty good. I believe they increase avatar attack, and reduce the blood pact time. My SMN is still sitting at 24, but I know in time it will eventually wear the AF.
As for Wednesday night, me and Xean had our seeks up for most of our time online only to get 0 invites. How typical. I really don't understand why we're so unlucky all the time... either there's a beseiged going on, which means most people aren't lvling or like this week... there's no astral candescence which means people aren't as motivated to lvl. So around 9pm, we decided to put our seeks down and headed to Kuftal to try and get this NM goblin that drops a rare/ex axe, only he didn't end up popping at all that night.
Then yesterday, we went to go do the NM that drops the Rutter Sabatons. You have to trade him an airtank in order to get him to pop in Newton Movapolas (sp?) Xean, Raiderx, Falk and myself headed out and popped the NM twice, but didn't get the drop. I guess Raiderx's /random earlier was a forshadowing that Xean's luck was going to affect things that night.
After we finished up with the NM, me and Xean put our seek up and after about 2hrs we finally got a decent invite. The party wasn't exactly "optimal" because we had a PLD/NIN, and a WAR who was using his Kirin's Osode to melee throughout the entire fight but thankfully the xp wasn't too bad and we were getting chain #5. I managed to get my 7k remaining on WHM and got lvl 73 that night, so my goal for the week was accomplished.
So now I have about 80k experience points left to get before I hit 75 on WHM. I'll probably need to get some buffer xp in case i'm ever asked to help out with events as WHM. Then next in line to lvl will be my WAR, which hopefully i'll get to do when i'm done with my vacation with Xean as he's coming to visit me from June 22nd - July 15th. And it looks like I might even have a static for my WAR, as some LS members now have jobs that work and are at the same lvl so hopefully we can get that off the ground.
