Woodworker Strike Hits Home

Not sure when the strike happened but I wish it would end. No there isn't really a stike as far as I know. It is annoying that I haven't been able to buy a stack of demon arrow quivers in the past 3 weeks due to there not being a single one every time I check the AH. No not one up there that I refuse to pay that much for, NONE! Side note not a single Kabura Arrow either which I use for my Sidewinders and other lesser weapon skills when requested. This is very annoying because I do get asked to go on RNG to many events where BLM isn't the best option. Arrows are one of the biggest factors in damage for a Ranger and having to buy Scorpion arrows would make me gimper than my RNG already is.

As time rolls on my gear for RNG is getting slightly better though piece by piece. This past Sunday by some miracle I got my hands on a Kappa Necklace which gives me a nice +8 ranged attack when I don't need to use that slot for ranged accuracy. It also gives Recycle and Ninja Tool Expertise while in salvage which will help save me gil if I get my neck piece unlocked during the run. I am sure other pieces await my Ranger in the future but I try not to dwell on it.

The reason I was looking for arrows today was because after the Pot fight for CoP we decided to continue the nights event and move on to Promathia! I was asked to switch from BLM to RNG since Promathia can put up both a Magical and Physical Shield (seperately) so it is best to have both types of damage. As for the fight itself I don't know quite what to say. Well maybe I do, I died, a lot. I was disappointed that at the end of the fight only Yevna was left standing from our group and Prishe was the one who stomped Promathia's face in as we all laid ko'd on the ground.

Still, a win is a win, right? >_< Anyway at some point tomorrow I get to finish up some cutscenes and collect my Rajas ring. Tamas would really be nice as well but I would only use it for one job and Rajas would be used on the 3 other jobs I want to have at 75.

Sunday I missed out on a Tomoe again, this time because I had to go to a dinner for Father's Day. Like I told Itaz I am not that worried about it, eventually I will get another shot at it and if not it's just an imaginary weapon in a game. We did another Genbu monday, got a lot of drops this time but still no Zenith Mitts to be found.

Saturday night Piddle and I did another Brothers ENM and for second week in a row we failed. Not sure what is going on. I plan for revenge this coming saturday but I'm not sure but it might be the last time Piddle is going to be able to go. So either I have to find another BLM to go with or give up on that endeavor.

I think that's about all for now, except that I want to thank everyone who participated and helped with CoP in any way. I am so amazingly glad to finally get to see the story unfold until the very end. Thank you.

Maybe it's time to level woodwork on one of your mules? It'll save you a lot of gil and hassle in the long run.

Grats again on finishing CoP. ^^
