I'm a Slacker. Sue me.

Ok so again I am slow with the updates. So seems like last time I checked in I was just barely 67. So quite a bit has changed. Thanks to me being not so picky I decided to join Laa and Lp one night for BLM trio even though they were well below Staves level. Boy am I glad I did. Not only was it a lot of fun the exp was great as well and on the first night I got 68.

We went to West Sarutabaruta [S] first two nights and Rolen joined us one night and Itaz another. Second night Laa and Lp hit 47 and exp started to dip a bit so we decided the next day we would go to Gustav Tunnel. Oh yea 41 is where we started so 6 levels in 2 nights! The next night we went to Gustav tunnel as I said. Unfortunately the exp per kill was lower than I was expecting but we still were getting great exp per hour due to a SAM there killing mobs in the way to other BST's and their pets.

So at a few points we had 4 BST mobs that we could pull from. Tybo came out and joined us for a while and we were getting quite a few chain 5's. Oh and I got 69 BLM that night! Laa and Lp got 50 so we are AM levels now. I think both Laa and Lp leveled a bit without me which is a good thing because I think they both hit Staff level. Which is a "Yay!" in my book.

Sunday I didn't sleep and got all the way up to the final BC in A Crystalline Prophecy. Got lucky as I was aiming to get my Mark of Seed for first BC I got a /tell asking if I wanted to do the fight. I jumped on the chance and got the fight done with relative ease. Except the tank d/c'd with one mob left. But it was easy enough to kite around until he showed back up so we would not have to redo the fight. Finished the rest of the cs's and climbed up the Tower and was ready for final BC.

Then it was time for assaults. Got those done 2x RvB and 2x Lamia No. 13. Lamia was fun because it was the first time I was able to bring BLM to assaults. After we got done I saw a shout for final BC for ACP. I think we had a pretty good set up but the fight is a crazy one. Still I saw a few things that could have been tweaked for a better set up. We lost the fight @ 30% when the PLD got charmed.

They all wanted to go again but I was already starting to run late for codex and panty farming. So I had to go. We went to start the Codex farming and it took a while but me and Terre finally got our codex's. We then started to farm THF fomors for panties. Val got his panties but everyone was starting to get tired or something so Yev didn't get hers >.<. I was passing out but I was doing that all day. I had wanted to stay on and exp with Laa and Lp some more on BLM but If I didn't sleep I was probably going to die.

Monday I did Dynamis-Windurst for the first time. Everything was going well until we had to hug a wall to get past some mobs. Apparently at this point a single person can ruin an entire run. Which is exactly what happened. Everyone wiped. We tried a couple more times to just farm but wiped twice more. Then gave up and called it a night. After that a rl friend I haven't seen in a while had called me and wanted to hang out. Since it was my day off I decided to go over there. We played Call of Duty: World at War for like 5 hours. Then I came home and decided to try to get ACP done again. Saw a shout pretty quickly and decided to join.

Oh I forgot before Dynamis I climbed the tower for a second time. Anyway back to my story of how I hate my interconnectarwebz. So I get to the top of the tower and was waiting for everyone to arrive. Then my internet dies. It takes about 30 minutes for it decide to start working again. By then of course they have decided to replace me. I was pissed of course but I understood at the same time. It is the nature of pick up parties.

So I decided I would join Itaz and get my fomor hate taken care of. Didn't take long but again had an issue with my internet. I was very upset at this point and checked my fomor hate and logged out. Checked gardening on mules and logged out for the night after that.

Logged on today and was in Tavnazia. I had to switch to BLM still and I was already running a bit late due to some car issues. Finally got to Sacrarium and we went to go get the cs then off to fight the nm. Was a pretty interesting fight. I think we did well even though Laa was having connection issues. Afterwards though we had to farm another key due to some issues that should have been forseen.

Not blaming anyone I read the same thing and knew the same circumstances and didn't see the issue either. So we started off and things were kind of slow so I decided to go grab THF and run back so we would have TH2 and a more constant DD. Came back and wiped twice due to me thinking Sacrarium fomors didn't party. After the first pull I had suspicions but Itaz said they didn't party so I figured I just made a bad pull and after we killed the other fomors again I would try again. The second pull again led to 3 fomors and a wipe. We did manage to kill the red mage before we went down and it dropped the key we needed.




So we went on and I decided to get antsy and aggro'd a Taurus. I decided to make it a sac pull since I was already going to die and made a run for the door. Mrpiddle had to tractor me a couple times. Then I got a raise and we headed for the door to get our cs's (well Kyzuf, Celess, and I's cs's). After this we were done and started discussing next weeks event or lack there of.

Joined another ACP final BC run. Not even close this time. Not a good set-up at all. Oh well. Eventually I will climb the tower again. This fight is very reminescent of early days of CoP where you need to throw SMN's and RNG's at the boss. Really very lame. Oh well.

Still I knew the fight was fail before we went in. I like to try new things though so I decided I would go even though there was a DNC in the party. Epic fail but oh well. Seems like I am not destined to get my coveted RNG haste.

Anyway it's time to check my gardening and go to sleep.

EDIT: I totally forgot to say that I opened a chest in Sacrarium. I had the key from last weeks farming run. Peoples were like "wtf?" and all I said was "what a strange room" figured if anyone needed to know why 3.6k gil showed up in their wallets magically they could read my blog and find out.
