Looking toward the sky

So again I have been slacking. Piddle and I have pretty much made our first adventure into a weekly farming run. Haven't got anything great yet but still we get 3500 exp each time plus a little gil. We plan on going again tomorrow night.

Our CoP group beat Tenzen this week. Was a really easy fight. I was able to go /SAM which was cool but still I wish it was more challenging. Since it was so easy though we were able to get it done quickly (once meph awoke from his power nap). This allowed us to move on and run around in sky to fight some NM Aerns for 8-1. Got our Tavnazian Rings finally and on our way to finishing up CoP and getting our other rings.

Been going up to sky a couple times a week to farm pop items for Genbu. So far we have 2 pop sets and an extra water. We are planning on fighting Genbu twice on monday unless we can come up with another Gem from Zip. I really appreciate everyone helping on the newly 75 BLM's by farming pops and fighting Genbu. Really glad that our linkshell comes together for things like this. Only wish that we had enough people to do other gods as well but I'll settle for Genbu.

I was bored one night and was farming lightning clusters on Qufim Island. Itaz gave me an >_> and reccomended I go to sky and farm them there and get exp and seals while I was at it. So I geared up on BLM and headed out there. Got lost a little lost and then Itaz came to lead me. By the time he got there I had started to find my way. Fought one while he was there to make sure I would be fine. Was no problem so he logged out.

I ended up farming there for quite a bit. Got about 20 clusters or so and would have got more but I was only messing around so wasn't fighting as many as I could. After a while my friend Stan logged in and I went out to west saruta [S] to fight elemental pets with him on BLM. We messed around out there until Tybo got on.

They had planned a merit party ahead of time and I decided to join in. It wasn't the best exp because we were all DD's except for Stan on RDM. Not the ideal set up for a meripo in my opinion but still we made due and got about 12k/hr. Still the nice thing about the party was it being a full party of friends making it more enjoyable than a simple PUG meripo.

Went on a Mercury crafting frenzy with all the clusters I got. Wasn't a lot on AH so I actually ended up putting a few stacks up which netted me some extra gil over the npc price I normally get. Either way its a profit but nice to get that extra bit. Fought Intulo once while I was out in bibiki bay. Got a Curaga Earring which I can npc for ~5k.

I ended up spending my merits on Enfeebling Magic so now I am 2/8. So now these are what my BLM Merit goals look like.

MP: 2/8
INT: 1/5
Enfeebling Magic: 2/8
Elemental Magic: 0/8
Lightning Potency: 1/5
Ice Potency: 1/5
Freeze II: 1/5
Burst II: 0/5

Still a long way to go but I am gradually creeping along.
