So Close, Yet So Far

So very close to obtaining my Apollo's Staff, just need Sleepga 2 to sell. On the topic of Sleepga 2 there is a lot to speak about. First of all, it was fairly easy, time consuming, but easy nonetheless. Second, the NM is weak, and in contrary to the ffxiwiki page on Agas, you do not need a party of 75s to kill him. Zafire, Venlo, a BST in the area (very sorry, forgot your name >.<), and I on WHM tore him to shreds. Easiest 300k I will ever make. While waiting for the scroll to sell on the AH, I have been raising leathercraft, and finally dinged 20 today. More than likely, will continue the path to 24 on Bugards in Lufaise Meadows seeing how the drop rate was phenomenal without Treasure Hunter.

Fomor Fun

Had to finish up CoP 2-3 today, so I run up to the safe hold, get a couple cut scenes, and head to the aqueducts. Interesting run, Gian trained to stegosaurs toward the end, and we finished it. Then we decided to go subligar hunting. Obtained my BST subligar 1/1 on the Fomor Beastmaster. The other Fomors were not so generous, but in the end Captainscurvy got his RNG subligar. I logged out about here, seeing how the coming week is going to be hell.

Blarg

Fatigued, aggravated, and lazy are words that best describe me right now. Yesterday spent about three hours killing Exorays with the help of Kullen (DRK) and later Didey (RDM) to get my mold for Genkai 1. Thank you guys. We killed a lot of shrooms, and I ended making about 5k of the mushrooms that dropped. Still working toward Apollo's Staff, but did buy my Dark Staff because +10 hMP is going to own. Today, hopefully finish Genkai 1, and continue running around like a mad man either xp'n or questing.

A Mad Dash

For the past few days I have been using every experience bad at my disposal in a desperate attempt to gain as much experience as possible. My original goal was to reach 50 by today, but sadly I stopped at 2.1k into 49. Reason being is that I need to do some profit crafting in most likely cooking to help fund my Apollo's Staff. With luck I should have enough gil by Friday, and continue to work on Beastmaster to 52. Also, my Linkshell is planning to help me and Gian with CoP 2-3 and Mission 5-1. Well, the weekend coming up looks good, hopefully school will not ruin my fun.

Bored

So bored. Have not xp'd Beastmaster in about 2 weeks. Slightly depressing. Only positive thing was that I managed to reach Whitemage 41, and obtain my Blessed Hammer. Next week is going to be a straight shoot to 45 hopefully.

Epic

Time for a long post, covering all the happenings of the past couple weeks. To start things off, I dinged 40, and got my shiny new Barbaroi axe. I also bought my self some shiny new gear, and now look like a decent damage dealer. The next day, I decided to get into Wings of the Goddess. Things were apparently more beautiful in the past because it is absolutely lovely. Venlo guided me to San D'Oria, where I enlisted with the Iron Rams. We also did a quest, that gave a very nice Deathstone. I gave the stone to Venlo, because the next quest give an even better Angelstone. Today, I felt too lazy to experience, so I decided to farm rams. After killing roughly 3 or 4 rams, guess who popped...none other than good old Bloodtear Baldruf. Venlo came over and tore him to shreds, but sadly no drop. After that, finished off the Angelstone quest, and had some fun watching Venlo rip things in two with Retribution. Put the stone on the AH for 200k, and logged for the day.

A Back Row Seat

Headed to Sea Serpents Grotto to experience till 39, and it was not half bad. Took quite some getting used to, and I did die a lot, but in the end it was definitely worth it. I was mostly getting Chain 2s for 150 xp to 200 xp off the Ghasts, and I think I had one chain 3. Most of my deaths were either stupidity (like when I wandered too close to a group of Ghasts when low on HP), or mis charms on my leech buddies. Probably finish off lv38 here, then head to Purgonorgo Isle for lv 39 to lv 40. Things are slowly, but steadily, starting to look up.
