Keeping up to date.

So this may be a record for me 3 posts in 2 days. After the failure of my first party yesterday I was able to get another party. The set up was PLD DNC DRK SAM BRD RDM. Great set up and was destined to be a great party. Or so I thought. Don't get me wrong everyone did a great job and I think it was mostly my recent parties with Lesser Colibri that ruined my views on the party. It was in no means a horrid party like my last one just sort of mediocre.

We ended up fighting Defoliator's in the Subterrane. I believe I started out just barely into 59 SAM. The kills were just too slow to get really great exp. I am not sure how we could have got more DMG without losing the DNC which in turn would have lost us the healing power needed. I think that maybe at 59 it's just an awkward level for exp. I know there a quite a few levels like that in this game. Still everyone did there jobs and did them well. After the last party I was in I was just grateful for that.

Anyway I ended the party with about ~900 tnl which is fine I'm not one of those people that just needs to make everyone stay until they level. I don't even think I mentioned I was so close to leveling.

After that I went with Tybo to SSG and we farmed a little bit. The area past the Gold Door where we usually farmed was swamped with people. So we ended up just messing around a bit behind the Mythril Door. We got a couple coffers killed a couple nm's and made a few gil. Nothing like we usually do in there but oh well. At that point I wasn't sure if I could get someone to work for me even though I was sick so I decided to take a nap before I might have to go to work.

Fortunately I got a call later that someone would cover my shift. (Note to self: Do something nice for co-worker) Anyway woke up later and logged back in. Got on Teamspeak and Tybo was on and said he had plans for us tonight. I knew before the end of the night he was going to get me killed. Actually the first part of his plans involved Nyzul but since I already have a perma I was unable to go to that. So I have a few hours to kill before the next part of his plans kicked in.

I put up my flag and put in a /seacom saying level sync 59+ and other various comments. So not too much later I get a invite. A level synce party @ 58. Annoyed but still wanting to get exp I agreed. I figured Sekkanoki could wait a little longer. So we started of trying to fight Lesser Colibri. The exp per kill was a bit low so we decided to head to fight some Puks. Puks are also weak to piercing which is great for a SAM who has recently picked up a polearm. So had fun killing those for a couple hours. Got myself 60 SAM and only 6kish to 61. Still no Sekkanoki but oh well.

Party ended and it was time for Tybo's plan part 2 which I was actually able to attend. We got to climb a mountain. Yep ENM in Boneyard Gully. We did the one for Blau Dolch which we've done a couple times before. Went off without a hitch but got lame drops. Got 3k experience which capped my exp on RNG from what I had lost in Dynamis. Though that was only 2k exp. Was the second time that before the run I forgot I sahould switch to limit points mode but oh well. Capped exp and only lost 1k exp out of it.

After we got done with that we were bored and Tybo came up with plan part 3 on the fly. Code Named Get Crazze Dead. It worked ^_^. We decided to duo some lesser colibri me on SAM so I could use sekkanoki finally and him on THF. At first we tried me /dnc him /nin. Worked at first then we both ended up lying flat on the grass. So plan part 3 chapter two we switched sub I took /nin he got on /dnc. This time he ended up flat on his back as I snuck away to whitegate through the tower.

So /dnc was just not going to work. So we both got on /nin. This actually worked. We had to rest between fights to be on the safe side but at least now we were gaining exp instead of losing it. So we do this for a while and then Acina shows up on her DNC. Wow how that got the ball rolling. Now the exp picked up quite a bit. Tybo noticed a THF level 60 standed next to us seeking and decided to ask him to join. He accepted and the four of us ended up in a 4 man group getting 7k/per hour. Not too shabby.

I got my 6k exp tnl + some and got my SAM to 61. Amemet Mantle +1. Oh yea.

I have to say I still don't enjoy playing DNC but I their capabilities are amazing. Anyway I am staring at my moogle writing this so time to decide my course of action for the rest of the night. Sleep hopefully not too far in the future. Seeing as how I have a big day of Assaults, Salvage and ZNM tomorrow. So happy I finally have a Sunday off ^_^.
