So I finally convinced Itazura to join me on SCH to duo. We started out and were doing decently. I was pleasantly surprised actually on the capabilities of SCH. I was talking to Tybo on TS before we went and he was telling me how SCH was slower at using magic. While I did witness that to be true SCH was still a very useful job to have around and Itaz usually had plenty of mp which made chains easier. Another BLM showed up and was 73. I felt the need to preemptively make sure there was no fighting over mobs. I asked him to join. They agreed. I think they were JP. Didn't really say much but fell right into the groove with Itaz and I.
The only thing I did notice was he didn't cancel his stoneskin when Itaz would announce he was going to recast. Knowing Itaz he was probably slightly annoyed but really didn't turn out to matter much in my opinion. Ran around for a couple hours (maybe longer) killing qiqirns got a few chain #5's which was nice to see. Haven't seen those on BLM since I have no longer been able to one-shot pets. Got to about 7k~ tnl and Itaz asked my tnl which meant he was getting sleepy. So I asked the other BLM how long they had. They said 30 minutes so we went a bit longer and I got to 3k~ tnl and then gave Itaz and D2 and warped myself.
I did something in windy (can't remember what) then warped back to whitegate via the jerk that made me run all over town. Anyway headed to the lower level qiqirn camp and messed around there slowly getting exp while watching 30 rock on Netflix. (Oh yea I have dual moniters now which is great!) Nice getting to watch tv shows or movies while messing around on BLM. Anyways eventually I got my level (67) and decided I would try skilling up on these instead of going to campaign battles. It actually worked a lot better.
Didn't have to travel anywhere, very low risk of death, in fact I've died more in campaign skilling up. Also nice not having to wait for campaign battles. As usual I used dia and bio for dark and enfeebling. Also drain to get health back. When it came to elemental magic skills I spammed tier I spells and by the time I ran out of magic (enough mp to cast sleep II) I had the qiqirn down to 30% already. So instead of letting it heal up I just got enough mp to do a couple tier III's and finish it off.
The Bio and dia ones though I had to run over water to lose them and rest up and start over. but still was able to get a small buffer (only about ~1k) while skilling up elemental. Which was another added bonus compared to campaign.
Then it was time for sleep. Got home from work today and it was harvest time. Got a really good harvest on one character and the rest were pretty meh. Still though I would recommend it to anyone. Very easy gil and not all that time consuming. Actually thinking about it now I would change that to recommend it to anyone that logs in daily. lol. Then Tybo said he wanted to do something on his thf.
We ended up going to farm in SSG. The camp we usually use was taken (which has been happening a lot lately when we decide to go there) so the trip was pretty much a bust. Still it was pretty fun and I brought out BLM just to mess around. Got into a very exciting situation with a NM Sahagin, a blue sahagin(melee), and a bat. Was a crazy drawn out fight but entertaining at the least.
He had to get to bed early though and we weren't making much gil anyway so he logged out. I headed out to get some jellyfish and made a bit of mercury. Supply of fish was low (that's been happening a lot lately as well) but still was able to make a few gil of that.
Now I am sitting at my moogle thinking of what to do next. Pretty sure I'm gonna find a way to make some more gil.
Also again was very impressed with SCH in duo/trio situation I don't think I seen very many resists at all. Itaz said he has 6 elemental merits though but still very impressed. RDM would not have been able to keep up like SCH did. Itaz said he still preferred main healing (to each his own I guess) but I still hope that it was good enough of a time to hopefully get him to come out again sometime.
Ok enough avoiding farming >_<. Thanks for reading and see you in game!
