Been a bit since my last update. I'll try to keep things in order as much as possible but no promises. First off I got BLM to 64. Thta means I can replace my Seer's with Druid's for even more Elemental Skill. I also found out that 64 was the level where my skill would come uncapped(since it was capped as 75DRK). So I caught a Besieged and caught it up but it is going to suck having it uncapped every time I level. It will really suck if I get the first level at a new camp and need to leave to recap it.

I've been doing events with Saviour for a week or so. It isn't too bad being BRD all the time...it's just pretty boring. So far we've done JoJ, JoP, JoH, and JoL as far as sea goes. I tried to tell them the depop trick for Prudence but I don't think they believed me so we ended up fghting both copies. They have their tanks come PLD/NIN for JoL. Personally I think they would be better off having them come PLD/RDM since you're out of melee range and just eating spells(usually -gas anyways).

Sky has been pretty routine. The only thing different is the amount of gil I spend getting around. We've collected a few pop sets and should be popping some gods soon. Should be interesting to see if I can debuff them at all.

I've only done one Einherjar run but it went very smoothly minus the NIN who kept running to the BLMs after every mob died(no march for him!). I haven't done any ZNMs, Nyzul, or Salvage yet.

I spent some time upgrading BRD gear since I joined. Instead of going through each piece individually I'll just list them:







The two staves are the source of the entry title. When I first went to get them both were waaay overpriced...I'm talking 70k+ over going price. Well I waited about a day and noticed that none were up. I was pissed off that someone paid those jacked up prices(which usually results in a higher posting prices from everyone else too). Well after I checked the history I saw that none had sold...The jerk who had posted those got them returned. I was happier than I should have been about that. After events I got these two for the going price. The musical earring and hands were pretty cheap since I found a supplier for ABCs. They have a ton of them(I guess they collect for their shell) and sell low. I bought about 70 from them and got 1.5k off each coin.

I need to upgrade my other Earring to a Loquacious and do enough Einherjar to get an Omega ring. Need to get new AF items from Limbus too so I can upgrade the legs and be done with BRD AF+1.

Speaking of AF+1 I got the Temenos item for DRK which means I could upgrade another piece(already have hands+1). I couldn't decide between the head and feet so I flipped a coin and feet won. Head will be next. If I get the MNK item I'll be upgrading my Temple Cyclas for the extra VIT for Chakra. I'm working on maxing out my Chakra build since I use MNK for farming.

Okay that's pretty much it. If I forgot anything I'll update this entry.

Not much to say before I get to sleep...Did some solo the other day. Got BLM to 63. Even though I'm not able to one-shot anymore I still get Chain #4 pretty frequently.



That was without an exp band ^^. Exp shouldn't slow down until about 65.

I finally finished that stupid promotion quest!



Now I just need to get Captain(lol)! It was pretty easy once I passed the Qiqirn part of the exams. BCG had some of the funniest dialog in FFXI.

In other news I got an offer to join an event LS. Seems like a great shell(pretty active and fair)...Only problem is that they want me to be BRD 99% of the time(and BLM too once I get that 75 I guess). It really isn't a big deal but my BRD needs a good bit of work before it is ready for endgame events. I farmed up 350k tonight to get started but that won't be enough(BRD is expensive!). Anyways, off to bed.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I got my last piece of BRD relic(body). Now I'm 5/5 and can store it. Woo! Inventory!
