Experience for SAM, Level for BLM

So got on this morning and we got to assaults earlier than usual. First up we got me floor 1-5. It was offered that we climb twice but I am in no hurry to climb the floors. Second run we did boss and no gear drop but we got PLD sword for Itaz so not all was lost. After second run I let Val take my place. They did a couple more runs and I tried to take a nap before work. Unfortunately I was unable to sleep. I came back and went on a Apkallu Breeding farming run. Only 600 points away from Chiv chain for SAM.

I was going to buy one and replace it the following weekbut Yev offered to do another apkallu breeding tomorrow so I decided to just wait. I went to work it sucked. Then I came home and started gearing up SAM. A little while later Tybo got home and fired up Team Speak. We mauled over some options. He was in SSG and went to check our farming camp. It was taken so we decided on plan b. Lesser Colibri and beg Acina to come along on DNC to make sure we don't die. At first we went to the Thickets as usual but there was a DRG there solo'ing.

We went to the Woodlands and picked an open camp. It happened to also be the camp for a nm that happened to drop an earring I wanted for SAM when I hit 70. Eventually the NM popped. The 3 of us didn't have the right jobs to take down the nm plus we had bands up. I mentioned it was up in ls chat. Then Lp decided he wanted to try to solo it. He came out on NIN/DNC and gave it one hell of a shot on the first try. But unfortunately he went down. He then came back to try again. The three of us continued to get exp while he again took down the mob.

This time was different though. He killed the mamool. It was pretty bad ass to be honest. Are bands burned up and Ace headed back to whitegate as Tybo and I stayed to watch. He whooped on that poor bird and I invited Lp so that Tybo could get some TH on the mob. It dropped the earring and Lp was nice enough to let me have it after all his hard work. I am very much in debt to Lp. I definately owe him something. Not sure what I can do to repay him after the earring and the Phalanx spell.

After that it was time for bed for Tybo and Ace. I did a /sea and checked out Bibiki Bay. Completely empty. So I geared up BLM and went to the AH. Bought myself a strap that I should have had 2 levels ago. Then I also bought a Penitent's Rope. 400k >.< but oh well it is a very nice piece of gear. But now I am back down to less than 300k. Oh well. Still need my Jupiter's staff and a few other pieces that I would like to have as well. Picked up some more mercury fishy's on my way to the camp.

Got started and everything was going great and was getting 7k+ an hour. Eventually other started showing up apparently wanting my camp but they eventually left. A chharacter named Tinywind showed up and asked to join me. He said he only had 30 minutes. I wasn't too excited about it (I was getting 300+ exp per kill and was capping out at 420 exp on chain #4) but I decided to be a nice guy and I let him join. The exp dropped per kill but it was going fast enough that I wasn't losing much exp/hr.

Though until this point I hadn't died. Then I died. Was my own fault but still couldn't help to think this /random person threw me out of my groove. No more deaths while he was in the party and like he said he only stayed for a short time. But like I said by now I was out of my groove and I died 3 more times in a fairly short amount of time. Apparently the goddess Altana thought I had it too easy for most my experience towards my next level because I struggled very hard to get the last 3k. I ended up using the last charge of my rr earring. Then dying again. I really think the last part of this level was the most I struggled. Not sure as to the reason why.

But eventually I did get my level. 63 BLM now! Only 12 more levels to go. It's hard to imagine how close I am to having multiple jobs to 75. And even crazier to think that SAM isn't far behind @ 61 and THF isn't far behind that @ 59. Anyway I really should get some sleep.
