Assault - Back to my roots

So today I was able to join my old assault group to do some missions that I needed and they needed as well. It took me a while to get to there because I had just finished killing the nm that drops moldavite earring. (Beforehand I was worried I couldn't solo it) Barrage > Sidewinder > Eagle Eye Shot put those worries to rest but no drop so ensured I would get to do it again. Anyways of to mhaura to warp to whitegate. 0/1 moldy earring

Once I arrived it was a great feeling to jump back into the group even if for only one night. I've always missed Shinku's /random games and "guess your own" is king of the crop imo. We completed 3/3 missions and finished in time for me to make the next pop for my earring.

The first time I was subbing nin since I was worried I couldn't solo the mob, this time know mob was easy enough I went /thf. Got there and waited 10-15 minutes and pop goes the goblin and got claim again w/o shadows and my 3 point strategy left a little hp on him. Was fine though and still got he kill w/o much harm. 0/2 moldy earring

So now I decided to go camp Intulo while I wait for the timed spawn. About an hour in he pops and I kill him with nada drops not even an eft skin. So I head back to Onzozo and wait until he pops again. This time I barely survive with ~200 hp left but finally get the drop. I wish the wiki would have said the nm needed a goblet full of blood before it dropped earrings I wouldn't have pwned it so hardcore the first time. 1/3 Yay!

So now time to try it out. Get out to Gustav tunnel another BLM (53) there np /bow and off to the other camp there to see how I like it. This camp only has one goblin with pet but it doesn't leave for long periods of time like the other two tend to do. Though it was difficult to make the kills sometimes. I had two resists during this session and 1/2 killed me. I died one other time due to impatience. If you've read my blog so far or have know me in game you should know I have a patience problem by now. So my first death fine whatever rr was up np. Then get up and realize my rr earring is dead. Ok need to be extremely careful.

I stopped taking the risks I normally would. Exp was going fine. Then resist my the tiniest bit and the pet had a tiny sliver of hp left and linked the gob. I knew I was going down anyway so I cast blizzard and the pet went down then so did I.

Hp'd and went to the AH and found some new gear then got a retrace so I could do campaign ops to finish the last little bit of my level. Got 53 BLM + ~1k exp. Then started to skill up on campaign mobs and capped enfeebling and elemental magic. Didn't want to stay up any longer to cap dark magic so saving that for tomorrow.

Overall a pretty good night for me except for in real life I am sick as a dog and feel like monkey poo.
