Anyways though, there are a couple of things i've decided to try out with the new update. The first being that i'm going to slowly do some campaign whenever I can. I need to rank up in campaign and accumulate 50,000 points for the Cobra Crackows I want for my BLM. So far i'm more than half way there, but I really have a hard time doing more than an hour of campaign by myself. Its not fun when you're alone, and it gets extremely boring real fast.
I've also tanked the pop NM Lil'Apkallu. This fight was pretty fun, and it looks like my LS will be doing a semi-static for the new "ZNMs" every saturday as long as people are available, and someone was able to get a pop item. I don't think i'll try and get a pop item for anything yet, but i've really enjoyed doing the fights. Any excuse to bring out my PLD is a good one for me!
I also ran into this guy earlier this week.
Apparently under certain conditions, he'll suck you up and you end up in special zones where you can fight NMs that drop really really good gear. There's been a bunch of shells setting up recently, and i've been tempted to apply and join but again... I have way too much scheduled as it is so i'll be waiting a bit before I get to try out this new endgame. This is about the only thing though that seems to interest me from the most recent update.
So... now for the LS events recently... yet again we've managed to take down an NM that "usually" has a large group. Carste was needing to get himself a Uggalepih pendant for his BLM, so a bunch of us went out to pop the NM. The fight was pretty fun, I got to bring out my SAM!
Most of the fight was just kiting the NM as the BLMs would nuke it, and i'd stun the Death move with my WS. The first fight was pretty smooth, I think we only had about 2 deaths in all. Then a friend of Carste's requested to fight the NM, so we did another pop. This time the run wasn't quite as smooth... in fact, we kinda all ended up dying and at the very end I was kiting the NM on my own @_@. But thankfully our WHM Falk home pointed after his death (RR had worn just seconds before) and came back to raise everyone else. Pretty fun fight! Only Carste ended up getting the drop though, making us 1/2 :(
Assault is really starting to get boring now... I've been able to get my Perdu Voulge, but the missions aren't really enjoyable anymore and when we spam certain missions... well... it just gets boring real quick. Well... not all of them are boring. We did this one mission where we had to avoid these dragons, and I ended up making a wrong turn and right in front of me there was a friendly red dragon waiting to say hello ^^
We're going to actually try and start Nyzul now, but we need a 6th. Hopefully someone in our LS will be able to make our times, because I think we're all eager for a change. Plus the gear you can get seems to be pretty nifty.
I also got quite a bit done on my BLM recently. I finally reached lvl 73, and now just need to manaburn the rest or do campaign. Not too sure I can deal with the whole "solo-ing" thing... I don't mind farming solo, but lvling... well, I think part of the reason I enjoy this game is simply because of the party experiences.
But anyways, I was able to drag some LS members out with me and got myself Blizzaga 3. We fought a wyvern at one point, which made things a little exciting. I think we had a couple of small deaths but nothing too serious. Only took us a little over an hour before we got the scroll to drop, and then we decided to farm a bit more and help get some of our members some gilz.
Other than that, i've gotten my crafts up a little. Woodworking is 59, Alchemy is 60. Now just to cave in and buy some Krakul thread and get my clothcraft up ><;;;
And i've mainly been trying to work on Kaelyth in my other spare time. I've gotten his MNK to 25, and after next week i'm going to be joining a LS static to get him to 75. We'll only lvl once a week, but it works perfectly because with a new character... i'm going to have a lot to do in between.
I also managed to get his WAR to lvl 20, so that'll last me a while. Onedarkflame came out to help PL me, only... I ended up eating the dirt! Haha, its all good though.
I'm looking forward to being able to play Kaelyth a little more. Finally I won't have a mage job for people to request me to come on, lol!
And figured i'd post this pic I took.
Apparently Leaping Lizard spawned while Timwakefield was strolling by, and he asked in LS if anyone wanted to try and get the boots. I was the only one around at the time, so I went ahead and joined up with him for the kill. Didn't get the boots though ; ;
Oh and last, a really cool screenie of Bahamut from the first cutscene for CoP!! BAAAHAAAMUT!
