Well to start, TheBrotherhood finally got our last SMN Alianne his Ying Yang Robe. Alianne had gotten the ToD, and for once the spawn time for Shikigami happened to be at a decent time. (His window always seemed to open in the early AM for me and Xean -_-) So on a Saturday morning, our LS gathered out in Ro'Maeve and we camped the NM against a few other groups. Xean ended up getting the claim after Shaolina had spotted the NM on his widescan, and from there we all gathered to help him bring it down. And lucky for Alianne, because the YYR dropped on the first go.
Right after we killed Shiki, Zeo asked for some help on the weaponskill NM for GreatAxe, so those of us who were free went out into The Sanctuary of Zhi'tah and took down the tree. Was a very easy fight, not much of a challenge ; ;
For the rest of the week, me and Xean did a lot of various lvling on different jobs. He wanted to bring his DRK to 37 to use as a subjob on his NIN for sky events, so I helped PL him to 28. As usual, he sported his shiny subligar =P
After he hit lvl 28, I joined up with him on my THF and we took both jobs to 37 within a matter of 3 days. We had quite a bit of luck with our parties after Kazham, always seeming to gain a lvl at least within an hour if not less. And because of this, it freed up a lot of time for us to be able to merit.
Some merit pts we did with our LS members, and others were pickup parties. Though I managed to finally get Protect/Shell V for my WHM as well as devotion, getting those merits seemed tedious at times, especially the last merit pt that we had. We had a BRD who didn't want to pull, which was fine because our THF volunteered to do the job. But it only got worse from there.... our BRD wouldn't finale the mamools we were fighting, wouldn't really help with erasing, wouldn't sleep links (until the party was nearly wiped), wouldn't keep songs up (i'd say I had ballad maybe 60% of the time) and the list goes on. Sometimes I wonder how people manage to get to 75 and not be at least "decent" at what they're suppose to do -_-
And we have also pretty much started a LS static with our WAR and THF. Timwakefield is our PLD, Alianne is our BRD and depending on when available, we have Tiaybara as another THF, Shaoulin as RNG and Falk as WHM. These parties aren't always "super xp" but the atmosphere is pretty relaxing. Whenever there's a death, there's never any yelling or insults being shot back and forth, and its just nice to be able to party with other players that do their job well, and are also geared accordingly. So far we've maned to get our jobs to lvl 69, so hopefully before the end of November we'll be at 75.
I also managed to finally participate in a beseiged for the first time in months. I never seem to catch these, and though i'm not a fan of the event, I do like getting skillups, xp and some imperial standing. I actually enjoyed this last beseiged, mainly because all my enfeebles were landing.... well, that is until I met up with this guy:
At first I thought I might of accidentally changed one of my .dats but after checking, I found out that this guy is one of the NMs. I wasn't able to do a whole lot to him, though every once in a while one of my enfeebles stuck.
As for the endgame activities, I recently joined my friend's sea LS Prowess. I really don't find myself eager to get any of the gear I "could" earn, nor do I find sea all that appealing as far as the farming goes. I know its pretty much the same as Sky, but I just don't really find myself enjoying it a lot. For now i'll stick around and help when I can (lately i've had to leave early for limbus, and on the other farming day I have to do errands in RL) and hope that at least my friend can get a little closer to getting some of the gear he wants. I think i'm mostly attending for that reason, because I just don't feel as interested as I thought I would in earning anything.
Sky has been going really good. I managed to get my Rostrum pumps (thanks KA!!!) and the only item I now need for my PLD/RDM/WHM would be the W.Abjuration legs. Eventually i'll be working towards getting my SAM and WAR some gear, but being that I can't equip anything yet because they aren't even lvl 70+, i'm going to wait.
Then there's Limbus which has seemed to be really good to me lately. Together me and Xean saved up 75 coins to get him his brutal earring, and now he's going to help me get coins to upgrade my PLD feet, and also my loquacious earring. I also have the items to upgrade a RDM and SA AF, but these aren't yet priorities compared to the others ^^;
Last thing that is worth noting.... well actually one of the two last things.... Xean got his sirocco from Kreutzet. We had camped the NM late one night with some LS members, but he never popped. Then Xean got the ToD the next morning, and so the following night we had a bunch of LS members come help him kill the bird, and he went 1/1. Seems his luck has changed, because Carste went 1/6 on that stupid bird ; ;
And so onto the last thing.... me and a few other LS members killed Bune! This is a wyvern NM in Gustav Tunnel, I believe around lvl 80ish. Timwakefield and Carste were with us (we were there to do the another WS NM for Carste) and the first time we ended up wiping because we didn't exactly buff before the fight, but after raising we managed to kill him. Unfortunately no drop.
