Posting from my laptop in the remote mountains of NW Washington state... Yea, you can bet I don't get cell reception here. It's a miracle there's internet here. And yet I'm here of my own free will, at least until we move into our new apartment this weekend in Everett (slightly less remote).
Yea, I finally took the dive and left sunny Florida for rainy Seattle area. I really like everything about the area, and I'm still working for Colonial Bank remotely at least for a few months, so that's been really great. Moving was (is) a major pain in the ass, and moving 3000 miles is moreso... but after shedding all unnecessary items, shipping 340 pounds of books, shipping 100 pounds of clothes and game systems, I'm about ready to rebuild. New desk, chair, and bookshelves are the first step... well, as long as I have internet and food and a place to sleep, I can get by. In that order.
So I've been using my laptop while my PC is stowed away safely. Honestly this is the first time I've really been wholeheartedly glad I bought it. It's a superb machine, by which I mean it's fucking HUGE, and it runs everything great, except for FFXI ..... D'OH. Yea. I think it has to do with the drivers, but sadly combinations of laziness and cluelessness have gotten in the way of me doing anything about it. I get about a 1-2 second lag even in the best of situations (ranging up to being frozen in place in Campaign with lots of NPCs around) and as I can attest to from trying to duo Fenrir on my NIN with a friend's WHM, 1-2 second lag can easily lead to defeat in tough situations. Needless to say I've been avoiding Einherjar and other events like the plague, and even in a party situation I try to play jobs that don't have complex timing like BRD and SAM.
Still, there's been a lot we've got done before I moved and a little after also. Probably the biggest news is that I finally have Captain status. The last round of assaults was interesting and really I learned a lot from them, which is a rare experience when you've been playing a game for like 5 years. I took BLM into the Hydra fight for DD, thinking we'd get extra stuns and healing on top of good damage. Well. Even Arien's superb play on NIN/DRK couldn't do anything once my CE from damage dealt reached cap and every action would get me drawn in... so what I learned was the difference between a DD that has to stop everything once they have hate (BLM) and a DD that can tank for a respectable amount of time (SAM/NIN which I took when we won). I also learned that people don't respect SAM/NIN enough. My reaction when I thought of it was to dismiss it too... but you still put out a LOT of damage with merits and the interaction between Utsusemi and Third Eye makes it extremely easy to keep shadows up even with constant attacks.
So we lost one time to Hydra (lack of damage), went 1/1 on the Khim, Vampyr, Cerb... Then I was gone for what sounded like a nasty series of Dvergr losses. We came really really close to biting it on Dvergr when I was back too but made it with a lot of 2hrs and some big time luck at points. I really thought the called weapons were going to be more of a pain than they were, but they were actually worthless, and the big boss guy is the real threat. In actuality he only has one thing you really need to be careful of, but it is murder. If he decides to do his AoE curse+para move and follow it up with -ga3, you're fucked 8 ways from sunday. Dream Shroud isn't going to save your ass from that. Well, we came away with the "W" so I was pretty happy, but it was sure an ugly fight.
I've been trying to round out my NIN equip but I'm pretty happy with how it is now and I'm not sweating my last bits. I shelled out cash from Limbus and Dynamis runs to get my Fire Bomblet, and a lot of stuff carried over from my SAM, so it wasn't all that bad. I would still like Scouter's Rope and Hachiryu Sune-ate for my evasion gear, as well as I guess an evasion earring. For TP, Haub+1 as usual is missing... Dusk is NQ and Swift is not Speed or Velo but that's obviously nitpicking at this point. Once I have Katana and Subtle Blow merits and DRK37 for sub I'll be satisfied with the State of the Ninja. Even with -4 enmity merits, I reckon I have enough gear for it that I could tank pretty well if I needed to.
I haven't started a new static yet, but my roommate has been getting into FF a bit lately and I am taking my DRK up with him sort of casually. We're at about 23-24 now. What I really really want to do though is level my SCH. After seeing Coice play that job in a variety of situations I really fell in love with it even more. SE did an amazing bit of work making SCH into a unique jack of all trades, and for my money, I'm not sure even RDM can compare to it in terms of how complex it is to play SCH to the limit of its abilities. Their ability to cast some of their most useful spells depends on managing Grimoire recast and Strategem charges (can't use dispel with Addendum:White up after all).
I also started going with a Salvage static, although I could only attend a few runs before moving put a halt to that for me for a couple weeks. One thing that is very clear to me is that, much like Nyzul, Salvage is something that must be learned and improved on through experience and practice. I'm confident that if we can maintain the core of our group and slog through the early runs that are going to be difficult, we can get to a point where we're tearing through runs on autopilot. I personally felt way out of my element and reflecting back I can see a lot of ways I could have done better (even on a job as flat as BRD). I hope we can get to that point! There's a hell of a lot of good salvage gear to be had.
So in my situation with lag and such, one thing I've been doing a lot of is leveling with my NPC, Yufafa. She's lv51 now and she does a great job as healer. I've been having a lot of fun with it, which might be apparent if I reveal that I went from 0/44,000 XP on NIN to capped XP just by killing EPs with her at 35 XP a pop. I have bought the first two time extensions for her, and locked her Blue Ribbon and Noble's Tunic in place. I'm considering Shinobi Hakama for her pants, so I'm killing crawlers lately, which is nice in that I'm piling up silk threads. Between NIN and BST I should be able to get her max XP/kill all the way to 70, so that's pretty nice too.

Just a quickie posted from work. I have lots of screenshots at home to remind me of the stuff I'll forget. Sadly I never remember to take SS until after the mobs we're fighting are dead, so it's just a lot of chat logs lol. Anyways here's a recap of where I am now from my previous to-do list:
TO DO LIST (not necessarily in order of priority):
Camp VE for hairpin for DNC & NIN -- Bought the non-EX, gonna use it on NIN til 70.
Level DNC to 37 (Emp band + Anni ring) -- Paused at 35 because I hate it and got all the JAs at 35. Leveling with random XP scrolls.
Camp Oz NM for 3% Haste feet for NIN -- Done! 1/1. Wow.
Farm Despot (duo with Spit/Ehon/anyone who needs byakko) -- Got Byakko's Haidate 1/1. Wow.
Farm Ulli (duo with Spit/Ehon/anyone who needs byakko) -- As above.
Farm new Fomor Codex (duo with Zeri) -- Ended up like 1/6 or 1/7 I think? Got Swift Belt.
Farm sea organs for Shadow Gorget (make group for Yovras) -- Got Shadow Gorget through shout group. Need Breeze soon for Jin...
Run antlion ENM every 5 days (trio with tank+healer friends) -- Got Hagun like 1/5 I think. Now to help all my SAM friends get theirs :)
Camp KV for Ace's Helm (hold duo BRD+NIN? or solo SAM/NIN?) -- The only thing more boring than camping this guy would probably be holding him for 5 hours. I do think it would be a nice upgrade, but I know I can get Askar head in time and I don't see myself putting in the effort Ace's would take for the relatively minimal difference...
Work on ZNM (Cerb line) (Grips, Oracle legs & body, Hachiryu legs) -- Need a few NMs still, got enough zeni. Really just haven't had the time, hope we make time in LS schedule soon for this.
Camp Fowling Earring NM in Wajaom (find 1-2 friends to help?) -- Killed it a couple times with no drop. Not really sweating it.
Farm Alky triggers and kill (duo with Ash) -- A few of us are looking at doing this soon :) I see it being boring but more fun with a group.
Finish TAU Missions (static) -- Done! Got my Balrahn ring which is awesome in Nyzul and assaults.
Clear all Assaults for Captain (@35) (with Nyzul group?) -- @17 now I think. Slowed down a little bit due to a hyperactive LS schedule lately.
Kill TAU Beastmen kings (LS event!) -- Medusa down, two more to go!
Leech Salvage clears? (@3) -- Nooooo progress at all. There's been a few Salvage groups that might have offered to take me but the problem is fitting into their schedules.
Start attending Ein religiously (if Lulu will ever ever ever respond to me /cry) -- I've been going but my ampoule count is still fairly low atm. I'm holding onto them for now even though alexandrite is the limiting factor in Mythic weapons now, because I suspect they'll change that requirement further.
Farm $$$ for Flame Rings, Haub+1, Hachi Kote, Wyvern Helm (until D head) -- Got Flame Ring, got Wyvern Helm, don't need Hachi Kote, still need Haub+1 but that won't happen any time soon unless someone quits and leaves me like 10 million gil, lol.
So basically almost all the stuff I had listed is either done or has good progress. I'll be making a new one including NIN stuff soon (63 and rising) which will be probably even longer. Yikes.

FFXI has been keeping me very busy lately. For instance, I got some stuff...
I definitely never imagined myself getting a Rajas Ring, ever, but when I considered it logically against Tamas, it was just the obvious choice. I never realized when I was only playing mage jobs how huge sTP+5 could be. If not for that, there's no way on earth I would have given up Tamas.
I never imagined myself getting a Swift Belt either but that's more considering the drop rate and what a pain in the ass it is to get ppl to help. I suppose it's ironic in a way that we got about 4 belts just a few days before the update with Level Sync in it, but hey, who's complaining?
And I didn't get a lot of things I tried for a long time to get...
What do those three NMs have in common?? Aside from killing me, and not dropping anything? Yeeees they all supposedly have katanas in their loot tables. HA.
Also there's this fun shot... only claim I've ever had on it (Stun is fucking win if you're not lagged at a camp)... thank god Redd was there because we barely killed it before rage. If I had this to do over again I guess I'd sub RDM for Dispel, because the crab shell and def moves are a beating.
Now that Swift has finally come in for me, I don't see myself wasting sleep trying to camp this against 40 other people. I still probably will spend some KS on Wyrm but I imagine I'd sell a Speed Belt to fund a variety of other useful items.
As an LS, I'd say that Ultima gets really stuck on one way of doing things, and has a really hard time letting go. We'd never had Ninjas tank HNMs before Fiko, Ddsavage, and freak joined, and now that two of them have left the shell we once again don't really tank anything with NIN... another example of this mindset is that until about a week ago, we had never really "TP burn"ed any NMs. We're still greasing up the wheels, so to speak, but we've done alright so far.
Bahamut in particular, has put out 3 staff and 1 mask in 3 kills, along with a shit ton of syn mats.
I'm 3 NM fights away from a Cerberus ZNM pop. I love this path, because Ob is a blast to fight, and the dichotomy of how scary he can be with Magic Mortar enabled, and what a pussycat he is locked in Sharpshot frame, is amusing to me. How easy is Ob in ranger frame?
On the XP side of things, our static has undergone some rough patches, with people missing runs and people dropping off to play a certain OTHER MMO.... /sigh. Still, we're going forward full steam. I did my best to get a decent action shot, but I'm not very good at this yet, lol.
Halffpint is kindly filling in on BRD, not a normal static member. After a number of stops and starts, our current jobs are Benny NIN, Hakusaku COR, Modoja MNK, Pixiehawk RDM, and Zeri BRD. Unfortunately our valiant THF (Spit) has to be away for a month for RL reasons and so we're in need of a 6th at least until he gets back. Can't stop... won't stop... 75 or bust~ |

Less than an hour after I made my last post....
I can't thank Aelfinn enough, who tanked all five of the runs we had on this ENM for me, and all the people who came to help with healing magic. It's so easy to get to and win at that I can't see us stopping now though.

Quick post from our Saturday XP excursion to Sea Puks. I was amazed that no merit PTs tried to ruin our day there. The XP was "all right", I think the difficulty in pulling the mobs between the mamools and skoffins was what did it in... both me and Haku died at least once pulling. Here are two parses from that party:
Soboro parse
This is with Soboro while I was still 71, mostly. Then I leveled to 72 and switched to Tomoe, and the result was this:
Tomoe parse
You can see the difference the piercing bonus makes. Also keep in mind for these parses, Haku was not only pulling 90% of the time but also couldn't WS early in the fights due to pulling hate (you can see his WS numbers are crazy).
This is with Sassafras on DRG/NIN, me on SAM/NIN, Haku on RNG/NIN, Pix on DRG/WHM, Eti PLD/WAR, and Spit RDM/WHM. NIN sub was a move to counter Puk aoe, worked pretty good, I still ended up tanking a lot (lol) but using hasso fulltime felt kind of nice. No thinking involved lol. I definitely can't wait for WAR sub again though. I'm about 7k into 72, no Hagun yet, but I do have Love Halberd for any piercing mobs at 73 and up.

Just for a little insight into why I'm so freakishly busy in game these days... this is entirely aside from helping friends with things they need and also aside from normal LS activities (which can be pretty time intensive depending on HNM timers and how active the sacks feel):
TO DO LIST (not necessarily in order of priority):
Camp VE for hairpin for DNC & NIN
Level DNC to 37 (Emp band + Anni ring)
Camp Oz NM for 3% Haste feet for NIN
Farm Despot (duo with Spit/Ehon/anyone who needs byakko)

Cliff notes: SAM is 69, DNC (for sub use) is 23 (I need to camp emp hairpin, want it for NIN too which I may level next), we killed the first and at this time only two Dark Ixions on Valefor (0/2 on the actually good drop, the cape), new zeni NM system is fun and made of win, I need to cap Troubadour badly, and I'm not having any luck yet on Hagun.
( Samurai stuff )
( Hyper Notorious Monster )
I've got a lot more to talk about including the new ZNMs, the addition of the initial relic weapon quests, and my DNC/BST adventures (this is mostly a lot of dying and lv down). Sadly it is 3:30 in the fkin AM and I need sleep. Poke me and I'll come back and update, hehe.

The usual as far as NMs go - a couple Fafnir, a few V2 Bahamut... maint coming up soon so we'll see a mass timer reset. We did have one interesting Fafnir where we claimed all the flies as well, and some slow sleeping on the part of BLM who shall remain unnamed led to self-MPK via Spike Flail (hahaha). Well, this kind of shit happens sometimes. Particularly if you're a shell that claims without the use of botting tools.

Well I keep forgetting to update this at home ad infinitum (home is where the screenshots are...) so maybe if I at least get something written from work I can add the pics when I get home. It's been a couple busy months so I'm sure I'll forget a lot of stuff, but we'll see how it goes.
Nyzul
As usual! We've done OK on floor100, got 2 Goliard and 2 Askar so far. We also had a bit of a blunder in that we accidentally wiped Cujo's disc with a simultaneous Blade Jin and Pred Claws from like 14% Hydra. Whoops. I've been warping out at 25% since then just to be safe. Fortunately for me, that same Hydra dropped my Goliard hat (first one Sass won). So now our only 100 disc at the moment is mine, which means my token count has started to drop precipitously, but we've started climbing again on Eticket's disc so it should work out. The sooner we can get done in Nyzul, the sooner I can start Salvage...
NMs
We've done alright on this front as well. Wizayojidrybusinesssomething or whatever they are now seems to have maxed on Algols because they're not camping Cerb for 24 hours in a row anymore, so we've gotten a few claims lately, couple swords for people who needed them. Tiamat and Khim are still kind of under lockdown although when I get my laptop in (soon) I'll see about getting a mule at Tiamat at least in the evening EST hours. We got a few Fafnir, maybe a Nid or two, Ridill>Joanna, etc. Oh, and most excitingly a few of us got together and killed Sandwurm so now I have a spiffy title too. Wheeee. He was an interesting fight, really, with kinda brutal TP moves. Thankfully BLM was pretty good on him.
Einherjar
We finally started doing this a bit, and a bunch of us have all wing 1 cleared, although we've been doing each one twice for people who miss them which is pretty time consuming. We'll be moving to wing 2 soon. The encounters are pretty interesting and I understand they get kind of hard in wing 3 so I'm looking forward to that. Between people showing up an hour late, etc, I never could have imagined a half hour instance would take so long to run.
Leveling
Slow as usual as I try to gather equipment, merits, etc. SAM hit 55 in static, lots of better equip now (including Soboro which we ended up going 7/9 on in a marathon NM session one night). Can't wait for 60 and Yukikaze. RDM and BLU are both 51 now, elem staves YAY. My enfeebling merits are at 6/8 so RDM is ok for now. I finished up the RDM AF I need too, but there's still two pieces for BLU and one for SAM I need. I've merited a little bit, got Troubadour, still hoping to finish up INT and enfeebling in the near future though. It's hard to find a good chunk of time to really throw myself into a nice long merit PT. As for SCH, I haven't touched it in a while, and I kind of feel like I want to at least finish up one of the ones I'm working on first.
Random
Nothing much interesting. I need to use my BS, need to use my KS, need to merit more, need to XP more, need to craft more, need to get BRD AF+1 items, etc etc. My inventory is doing a lot better since I dropped a ton of old and unnecessary stuff (including my AF+1 BLM hat, being outdated by Goliard for hMP and AF2 for nuking). Oh, also, I did a couple Dynamis and got BRD AF2 hat which is awesome of course. Still no BLM pants yet, but we'll see. Doing dynamis is still really hard for me just in terms of committing to 3.5hrs of being in an enclosed space with many, many morons. It's hard to express how much rage I have when I see some WAR skilling club or some SAM wielding the trial spear or some shit like that. Oh also I lose a shitton of XP because I always go BLM, so that doesn't help either.
I went to Sakuracon for the second year in a row and had an amazing time. Got to stay with good friends, eat good food, see a lot of anime, and met yet another LS member as well as seeing Fodder again which was fun. Flying from Orlando to Seattle and back was kind of a beating though.
I'm currently reading some light novel series such as Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu (anime coming this year sometime), Toradora, uhhhm Omoi ha Itsumo Senkou Hanabi... I made a big purchase recently at my fave online JP bookstore, bk1. I haven't been buying manga so much lately because 1, there's not many series going on that I have that much interest in, 2, I can usually find fan groups translating a lot of the popular stuff, and 3, I have a lot more luck with random manga series when I'm in a brick and mortar store (it's amazing how much good stuff you can find just by picking up the books and looking for good artwork). Whenever there are whole series I want (like Conan, which I'm still looking for) I try to check out Ebay or other auction/discount places, because that stuff is fkin expensive retail.
Anyways, that's about all with me these days. I'll try to remember to up some screenshots when I get home^^.

Nyzul
Redd was nice enough to accompany us to Nyzul in Arien's place a week or so ago even though we basically told him he could not lot Askar (a decision which I do NOT agree with - maybe it's because I'm partial to Redd but I think LS replacements ought to have equal lotting rights...). We got Eti's Askar body on the first run and lost the second to Breakga spam from frogs (we were also pulling faster than normal due to a slow start on that run). I might start singing Capriccio on frog floors, seriously. Now own up, how many of you had to go look up Capriccio?! haha. We use it on the Jailer of Faith fight although I understand a lot of LS have their WHM leave alliance so they don't get hit by spells. Next run after that we climb Cujo's disc and had a really easy time getting all the way to:
We would have run our first floor 100s yesterday, but Cujo has been really sick lately. Soon, very soon.
Loot
Unbelievably, I have two items to post about here. Unless we somehow start giving Dalmaticas to secondary jobs, or start camping Tiamat for 48 hours straight in shifts like Wiz, I don't think I can actually get anything else through LS events lol.
We had four Bahamut v2 pops a while back but a large number of ppl who signed up did not in fact SHOW up, so we had some interminable waiting that resulted in only 2 orbs being used on the Thursday we did the event. Still, we got some decent drops. No staves and only one Mask (->Chame) but a lot of syn mats. Enough cashmere for more than 2 Manteels, in fact. Spit as BRD main got the first, and Varda and I lot battle'd it out for the 2nd but she won. Now, there were 2 threads (2/3 of a manteel) over that just from those 2 orbs. After a long and complicated back and forth which I won't go into here, I somehow ended up getting a full Manteel out of this (we had 2 threads banked from some previous events, you see).
I've said it to him half a dozen times but I would like to say thanks to Tarja, who not only very graciously put his own Manteel on the backburner to allow me to get one, but even synthed it for me. I can't imagine a lot of people would be as kind as that.
The second loot item was even more unexpected, and it's another BRD body. After some money from a Blau Dolch sale came in (the day after we sold I saw SIX on AH, thank god we got rid of it), I finally had the money to get an item I've been considering for a long time: Vermillion Cloak. I'd been eying it on the AH and trying to snag one for 800k but not having much luck. My BRD has been needing an Auto-Refresh piece badly for LS events and Nyzul where I use /WHM a lot, and both my BLU and RDM are going to be at a level where they can use it soon too. However, as I was bitching and moaning in party chat about not being able to buy cheap, my good friend Magos fortunately suggested that I ask the sacks if we have any cloths that I could receive to help make one. We bank a lot of this stuff, you see, for LS member use. It just hadn't occured to me to simply ask, lol. Imagine my surprise when they came back to me and said there was an ENTIRE CLOAK that we had made but no one had needed it. So I was able to get a V Cloak for future events on my BRD, and save 900k which I'm currently turning over in my mind. The only thing I can even think of that I want to buy is HQ BRD JSE gloves. I'm still only halfway there though and they're rare as all hell besides. The only other consideration is some rare piece of gear for my jobs I'm leveling, but I figure I'll worry about those when they get 75 heh.
Random pics that fit in here:
We did a round of Copycat BCs. It was my first time and it was a very fun fight! Sadly Aqua's prediction of my profit was optimistic as Adaman ingot price plunged, but I still got OK money from this.
A great BLM completed the first Morrigan Robe in our LS. He'd been saving ingots for a long time, and I can't think of many BLM who are more deserving of such a great piece of gear. This really really makes me want to do Salvage even more than I already wanted to which was a lot. It feels like you need such a narrow band of jobs for it though, which is depressing.
Random Events
Some good luck in random stuff I've been organizing for lowbie gear... but mostly bad luck.
I actually had nothing to do with organizing this, but I have been helping out for over a week and I was glad when it finally dropped to me (in a very surprising manner):
So Eti was right, they will auto, how scary. We've gotten maybe 10 Sallets over the past week and a half or so, which is not bad really though people still need more I think. It's very good on my SAM and BLU (BLU STR setup is kind of a beast now, all my Mandibular Bites are 180+ even without TP and I can SC into Mand. Bite for easy 300+ with 150+ Induration).
I've heard horror stories about this one. If it takes me 17 tries I don't think I'll ever have one >.> we went 0/5 on this particular run. Zeri and I have farmed up new pops, though I need to take an hr or two and go build my Fomor hate again.
This drop rate was supposed to be better though! We did 5 runs pretty late after some HNM windows but only one dropped! (->Chame I think) This I actually need pretty badly because I'm only 7k to 50 on my SAM. Hopefully we can go again for this soon. The fights themselves were fairly enjoyable, though JGP missing EVERY SINGLE STUN was making me want to strangle him through the internet. Thankfully our melees were much better and used Leg Sweep and Flat Blade to pretty good advantage, but he still exploded several times on us, though we never were in any real trouble. I maybe will come BLM to the next one though (lol).

SAM has reached 49 in the static, which is really having some tough times as the mobs are getting tougher and we're still feeding them TP like madmen. I'm wondering if we might not do better at lv50 to swap my BLU and Zeri's RDM in (gaining enfeebles, Refresh for the PLD, TWO people with Dispel, and 8-second Stun) but Zeri very reasonably does not want her DNC to get lost in the mix. I'm just not sure how long we can keep our pace up. I'm sure Colibri at 55 will breath life back into us briefly just because Colibri are stupidly weak, but even relatively harmless mobs like beetles have been giving us a pretty rough go of it. Well, I'll keep pitching my BLU+RDM idea which I think is good, but I definitely understand Zeri's concern for her DNC, although the DNC flood in the XP market might be dying down a little now.
My RDM reached 44 in an XP PT with Lexa's BRD the other night. I'm still enjoying it but Refresh cycles mean I can't lose concentration for even a minute. Imagine when I get Haste at 48, lol. At least I still nuke for more than the BLMs (when we cast the same spell, Blizz2 is cheating :P). Lexa was kind enough to put Water Thren on for me and my Water2 did very very consistent and good damage. I've all but given up on some of the gear I wanted for this job (like Mannequin Pumps) but what I have is really not bad. What I do need to do is merit soon so I can finish out Enfeebling which is currently sitting at 4/8. However my Lullaby recast merits (2/5) and Sword merits (3/8) also need a lot of attention. Yes, I have a lot of meriting to do soon^^.
Sorry for the huuuuuge post, signing off now as it's time to shower and head to work anyway. Hehe.

Just a quick post to mention that we are still 100% (now 6/6) on floor 80 drops, and we floored Hydra about as easily as the rest of the NMs (tho he only used phys shield once, mercifully). Let's see a little photo op of our last six Nyzul runs:
I learned tonight that my Elegy luck is not predictable. We drew Cerb > Cerb > Hydra. I landed Elegy 2nd cast on first Cerb, and was unable to stick it on either of the next two. The second Cerb was *remarkably* tougher with no Elegy (Arien's Hojo also failed to stick). I'm determined to figure out how to raise my rate of Elegy success on these NMs. First thing to try is the magic accuracy drink. After that I'll just have to see what I can do in terms of more wind/singing skill.
As for drops tonight, Askar>Arien, Denali>Zeri(for future DNC) and me (uh probably to be dropped eventually - I don't see myself using it even when I get BLU75, and no plans at all to take RNG to 75).
By the by Disgaea 3 arrived and it's reeeeally nice, so I'm probably gonna be MIA til Thursday or so when we're running Baha2 (first time in a looong while).

BLU
Hit 50 over the weekend while trying to build up necessary hate for Swift Belt. So Frightful Roar is online for me, I can begin AF questing, and I'm the same level now to be able to seek with Zeri's RDM. BLU and RDM make an amazing combo, so I'm really looking forward to that. My sword merits are 3/8 at the moment so I need to get working on those. The other big hurdle (aside from swift belt which I need badly) is definitely V Cloak for lv59. I don't have near enough money for one, so... time to bust out KS and get cracking on ENM too. Maybe selling my Astrals would make a little headway too.
SAM
Hit 44 in static over the weekend. I'm getting far better at using Seigan now, and /WAR is the order of the day. I usually am able to handle any hate I pull pretty well. The sad thing though is that my lv40 GK (which cost me quite a bit of money) is the only realistic weapon until lv50 (It's better than the lv42 RA/EX one, Mikazuki+1 at 44 is very rare, and Odenta at 48 comes from that BC50 no one ever does). I'm probably going to look into Luisant Haubert for 45-58 range. Actually the entire Luisant set is nice, but each piece is such a small upgrade from my current gear that I can't imagine getting it all. I'm going to have to try to organize Soboro either this week or next week, and I am a bit nervous about getting enough help for it, but I imagine lots of ppl in the LS might need one. Overall though this is the job that I'm least concerned about in terms of gear I need, really. (Putting aside the idea of Ace's Helm for now...).
As for the job itself I'm really enjoying it. Needless to say I'm dying for 49 (Tachi Jinpu) and 50 (Soboro, Double Attack), even though I hear that Jinpu is weaker than Enpi most of the time (/sniffle).
RDM
Hit 39 in a super random party with Fod's DNC Sunday night. Zeri got her NIN to 39 as well. My gear is kind of laughable at this point, although I do have +25MND, there's more available, maybe as much as +6 or so. Also I think I need to seriously consider Zeri's suggestion of MP gear. Converting 650HP into 350MP just seems like a huge waste. Even if I just had a max MP gear swap for convert, I could use the max MP to heal myself, refresh someone, haste someone (no need of stat boosts) before swapping back to my stat gear for an enfeeble or something. The depressing thing about max MP is that once you've used some of your MP it's not really doing anything for you. This is a large part of why I value hMP so highly; what really matters is how fast you can recover your MP in the long run. Of course, RDM has so little time to rest and such low Clear Mind that they are almost 100% dependent on Refresh and Convert to keep them going (this is another job that will need V Cloak very badly). It's really the quintessential MP management job.
In fact, looking deeper at RDM... Refresh costs 40MP and returns 120 MP over the course of a couple minutes. In other words, Refresh alone will support refreshing two other people in your PT - a number that is probably average or maybe a bit low depending on the PT setup. What this also means is that if you're refreshing yourself and two other people, there's no help from Refresh on your mana for heals, haste and other buffs, and enfeebles. All the MP for that has to come from somewhere else. Convert gives maybe 450-500 every ten minutes but you can work through that and out the other end really fast. What I'm getting at is a good hMP setup will be necessary for my RDM as well. Fortunately as I level into my BLM gear I already have pretty much all of it. The unfortunate thing is that most of it is rather high level. At 40 it's Pilgrim's Wand(+2), Qiqirn Sash+1(+3), Baron's Slops(+1), and oh wait that's it. Obviously better than nothing but it really makes me consider wiz cookies for food at least until lv51. Throw in that RDM's Clear Mind (I think) worse even than what BLU can get, and it's altogether a depressing situation. At 75 better gear and Convert merits (not to mention full MP merits 65+) give some more leeway but that is a long way off :).
Nyzul
Our first 3 runs on floor 80 Saturday, and what should we see but 3/3 drops @.@. No Askar, sadly, but yours truly won the first Goliard Saio (just like I did with the feet, and legs =.= I'm sure Sass and Zeri suspect me of haxing). I immediately put it in my gear setups for Stun, Drain, Aspir, and Lullaby. Haste 4% is a noticeable recast reduction on these spells, and I can't wait to get Swift Belt for this setup as well. The HP, MP, Conserve MP, and -enmity all make this piece very uniquely suited to healing magic as well for non-WHMs.
Cujo and Arien each won Denali and since they're both leveling DNC I'm sure they're glad to have something usable endgame for that job.
So far in 5 or 6 TAU boss floors we've only had Khim and Cerb. I keep reading about what a pain Hydra is, so it will be interesting to see if we have trouble on it. I've grown more healing magic conscious on BRD, and I've had great success landing Elegy on the NMs with stacked CHR Etudes, so I think I'm really getting better overall at helping with these fights. We haven't really had any close calls on them even when we got Job Abilities sealed on Khim one time. I don't recall if I've mentioned this but we use a NIN THF DRG WHM BRD SMN setup on TAU bosses (as opposed to NIN THF DRG BRD BLM WHM on climbing or Zilart bosses), so our SMN could not BP with JAs sealed... haha.
I feel like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for the head pieces and the weapons. If the March update has the Nyzul relic update included then it will probably only beat us by a small time span if at all. The nasty part is that Cujo and I will each only be able to lot half the time on floor 100, but we started this all those months ago with the acceptance of that fact in mind. It's not so bad for me since I only really need Goliard head and the BLM staff for now, but Cujo could make good use of almost half the weapons there and at least 2/3 the armor. Once I get my loot I need I can start using my disc more often to help him out though, so that works out ok.
If I remember, I have a few pictures to add to my post when I get home^^.

Been doing a few things recently... enough to keep busy :).
Cooking
Took my taru from 90 to 93.9 without any trouble at all, just waiting for Sandy to come back into 1st or 2nd place so I can buy maple sugar easily again, then I'll push to 95. At 95 I'd be T1 sole sushi and T2 melon pie, so I think I'd be happy with that for a long time. Incidentally (shhhhh) I've been making a lot of profit from my skill up synth. Ask my what it is in game if you're curious.
One of the things about me and crafting is that I have a weird desire to farm ingredients if I can kill two birds with one stone doing it. Thus when I started this push I emptied out my BLM inv as much as possible and cleared an XP ring charge like so:
This kind of solo is really enjoyable now and then because it's so easy and there's no pressure or anything.
Nyzul
What else? We've climbed my disc to 60 and Cujo's to 75. I know Cuj has been working on mapping our schedule for the next couple of weeks and I expect it contains copious body farming and maybe climbing me to 80 as well. I'm sure we'll all get the stuff we're after before too long so really I'm just having a blast with it. I definitely think we're getting better "at" Nyzul. However we still do lose occasionally. Usually it's freak accidents involving spellcasting mobs either nailing 1-2 ppl with a high tier ga spell, or nailing all the ppl in the vicinity with Sleepga 2. However we've just begun farming TAU floors and I expect the boss fights to get noticeably harder and longer. We'll have to see.
In the months we've been doing Nyzul, the only NM drops that have materialized so far (that I can recall) are Bounding Boots>Zeri, Sable Cuisses>Cujo, and Magic Slacks or whatever they're called that went to Arien to sell for cash. We had a ton of time left on this last floor despite having White Magic sealed (thank god for imps... so fkin easy) so we raped Ungur and got a Wooden Piece of Shit Bow in return.
BLM Equip
Tonight I got 50% closer to my goal for BLM equip as far as HNM drops go.
Next to Herald Gaiters this is about the best thing that could have happened to my BLM. After over a year of getting spanked in lots for Novio (and randomly taking breaks from FF exactly when we were farming JoL hardcore), I feel pretty vindicated in winning this by essentially sack decision. We used to handle Kirin Osode that way and it's kind of a nice way to work rare items if you have leaders who can handle it and can be impartial. I'm really psyched about it and I'm looking forward to comparing some before and after numbers. Unlike most FFXI equip, the effect of this piece is so large that I'm pretty sure it will be apparent immediately.
I might post a bit about my leveling plans tomorrow but I'm too tired tonight;;.

Anyone who knows my BLM style probably knows I love hMP like crazy. With a good setup it's possible to more than double the normal hMP rate. My current hMP gear is:
Pluto's Staff (+10)
Wzd. Petasos+1 (+1)
Grandiose Chain (+2)
Relaxing Earring (+2)
Boroka Earring (+1)
Errant Hpl. (+5)
Genie Gages (+1)
Invigorating Cape (+1)
Qiqirn Sash+1 (+3)
Baron Slops (+1)
Goliard Clogs (+3)
= +30 total
The actual ideal setup for BLM has the following changes:
Wzd. Petasos+1 (+1) --> Goliard Chapeau (+2)
Grandiose Chain (+2) --> Phi Necklace (+3)
Errant Hpl.(+5) --> Mahatma Hpl (+6)
Baron Slops(+1) --> Yigit Serawheels (+2)
rings 1&2 --> Star Ring (+1)
With my current funds, Mahatma body is completely out of the question, and even if I had the money there's a lot better things to get with it.
The Goliard Chapeau is one big goal of mine for our current Nyzul static. I'm sure I'll have one in the fullness of time.
Yigit Serawheels are definitely the easiest of the upgrades to get. The only catch is I only have one free tag a week due
to Nyzul. I need to start working on those assaults soon though.
Phi Necklace is very interesting. Coincidentally the APs from the assault that can drop this are for Leujaom, perfect for getting Yigit pants! Also interesting to note are that the assault can be trio'd theoretically (NIN BLU RDM have done it, though I have none of those jobs yet). Finally, this assault can also drop a neat ring with STR+5 and Salvage:Counter+2. Can you imagine how good that might be for a MNK who tanks Salvage? The perfect bait to lure someone to run this assault with me. However I'm not at the CS rank yet. I think I'm one shy, maybe two.
The Star Rings are a whole other beast besides. The quest to get Star Sapphires (only way currently, I believe) probably takes a full group or close to it. It can be repeated once a day but the drop rate is apparently abysmal. Even if one did drop, any reasonable group would surely want to sell it for lootz.
Just a little aside, this is some of the random crap I think about while browsing through ffxi wiki. I'm pretty sure I can make 3 of these 6 separate upgrades happen, but Star Rings or HQ Errant bodies are basically a pipe dream.

**Warning: the following post contains a decent amount of math and a lot of stuff only the most dedicated BLM could possibly care about**
Let's talk BLM damage!
The page we're going to use for reference is this one. I want to go through step by step and talk about what each one means, as well as what I personally have so far been able to find/verify/get data on.
1: Calculation of D. The V values for each spell have been independently verified by a number of people and I have no reason to doubt them (and they've been giving me good results so far as well). Same for the M values - let me just note that it's interesting that tier IV and AM2 have intrinsically higher marginal increase for each time you increase INT. Of course, AM2 still has a high enough MP cost to be usually inefficient compared to options like tier III.
Now, the most interesting part here is the calculation of dINT. My initial expectation here was that a lot of higher NMs would have huge INT values and make this into a penalty (which would make adding INT very strong). However, in the lone example I can give so far this is not the case. Distinctly so! Proto-Ultima gave me some good numbers to work with and I can say with confidence this mob has only 69 INT - surely on par with most BLMs, before we wear equipment, but much less than after we wear nuking gear.
The other interesting thing I can say about dINT is that for all mobs of reasonable level, you will NOT be able to reach the inflection point that makes adding INT half as effective. I tested on some EP spiders that I calculated had either 56 or 57 INT depending on level, and I stacked INT up to 125 for a difference of 68-69, and all the calculations indicated the formula D = V + (dINT * M). Putting this together with the Proto-Ultima example, I think we can safely say that this will always be the right formula to use, on any mob we care about.
2: This is a simple calculation. I think we all knew that if we must attack multiple targets, -ga spells are pretty efficient in that situation. It's pretty interesting that the division caps at 10 mobs.
3: This is very very useful information for anyone who (like me) didn't know the fractions that can split damage. I had always felt like it was 1/2, 1/4, and 1/10, but that just goes to show the dangers of "feeling like" data is a certain way.
4: Simple calculation. I should hope that most serious BLMs have 1.15 here for every calculation.
5: Something interesting to note here is that double weather is more than twice as potent as single weather, and apparently it has been tested that double weather can only proc either 0.25 or 0 (there's no chance of 0.1 mod from double weather, as might be expected).
6: All my testing has been with no MB, so I have little to say here, except that I rarely use my AF2 gloves on HNM even with MB, because losing 15 Elem Skill is pretty rough and especially with 3INT on my AF1+1 it's hard to justify gaining the small 0.05 boost here for potentially losing 50%, 75%, etc damage to a resist.
7: This is the other really important section to know about when working with HNMs. Most HNMs defend themselves against magic not with high INT, but with ridiculously high MDB values. If you reason from that fact that MAB is relatively quite good on these HNM, then you were 100% right.
BLM70+ have natural MAB of 1.32 from Magic Attack Bonus IV trait, and if you've capped Thunder and Ice potency, those spells have an additional 0.1 MAB mod. Considering common gear such as Moldavite (+0.05), weskit (+0.06), and A hands (+0.05), common numbers here are 1.58 with A hands or 1.53 with AF1 hands. Now, for perspective, others have measured the MDB of Tiamat to be 2.0, Jormungand to be 2.24, and I personally calculate Proto-Ultima's to be a staggering 3.09. I definitely would have thought Tiamat's was a little higher, so I'd like to test this myself some day. Using these numbers it's easy to calculate the change in damage that you can achieve by trading off one piece of gear for another.
8: This is relatively rare in mobs, and seems to be very strongly tied to mob type (that is to say, random monsters won't have this). Much more interesting is the player side of it, and the reduction that we can achieve with various effects, equip, etc. Note that due to the manner of calculation this might actually be interchangeable with MDB, I need to crunch some more numbers.
I intend to keep gathering data on other mobs of interest, so expect more on this in the future.

We've been doing our usual run of activities, meaning a lot of Limbus, a smattering of sky and sea, and random fun stuff thrown in now and again. Last Thursday we got together about 18 ppl + a couple extra tanks who spent the whole time sitting beside the fight watching as we killed Jormun in our smoothest run ever. No deaths other than a couple overzealous BLMs^^.
Everyone who attended now has the title, so that alone made it worth it.
Nyzul has been continuing, but our 40 farming has been pretty sad. Our lone 60 run so far got Cujo his Askar hands over Eti and Arien lotting, and Monday night we went 1/4 on 40s for Sass's Goliard pants (though we lost one run to the THF Qiqirn who ran away into 3 puks and Bloodtear Baldurf, haha).
Currently my disc is on 50, and Cujo's on 60. I believe the plan now is roughly, get me to 55 and Cuj to 75, then start farming 60s and 80s a bit before climbing some more. It seems we got lucky to have Khimaira on 60 and the others are notably tougher so I guess we're gonna need to start grabbing meds at the start of TAU boss runs. Body boost is an obvious choice and lots of items would help melee damage big time.
The SAM static is moving slowly but surely. I'm up to 32, and I think I'll get parties to get me to 34 before next meeting since Eti is PLD34 already. That will help me DD a bit better and get me to O Kote which Redd has very kindly lent me and which I need to really start farming the NM for badly.
I've also finally discovered the joy of meriting on BRD. On Saturday I got very close to XP cap and saw my first XP chain higher than 11-14 (from puddings :P):
I had a rest on Sunday and early Monday as we had a game day here that Brock and I hosted and then we entertained Brandon overnight and took him home Monday morning. Then later on Monday I was able to make two merit PTs, first a short one on bird camp mamool ja and then a monster PT with BRD COR WHM SAM NIN MNK where we had middle tier birds to ourselves and did this:
Then Redd got slept for about 30s and chain broke, we took a short break and did this after getting back:
All told, 65000 or so XP. With this binge I got Enfeebling to 4/8, and Sword to 2/8. Much more to come hopefully!
Last night we took down Ultima and got Nashira head for Onorok and pants for Hakusaku, and I can't think of a more deserving person^^. Haku and I have been doing a lot of random stuff together, including my first tests into measuring the INT and MDB values of enemies - but that's a whole other post that I intend to make soon, and a lot of interesting info it will have, I think, for all serious BLMs out there.
Running late for work, later!

Well, my time has been split lately between FFXI and Vanguard, not really evenly either, but I've also been doing a ton of other stuff... Brandon was over for the weekend and we hit up a LOT of Rock Band. In fact with me on lead guitar, Brandon on bass and Brock on drums we were able to pass 260,000 fans (the max you can reach if any instrument is played on Medium) by doing Expert/Hard/Hard. Brock's skill on the drums has really taken off and he can play almost anything on Hard and more and more on Expert too. We still have a shitton to unlock though, starting with the 4-song set to get sound guys that we failed once before.
We also watched a couple more episodes of Planet Earth, which is amazing of course. I 100% recommend to get this in some HD format if you're considering it. It's truly astonishing. On live TV we've been following college and pro football closely as well. I was pissed that the Pats completed their 16-0 but they deserved it, I have to give them that. The FSU-Kentucky game was a pretty tense game at some points, very fun football to watch. Today are some more college games I've been anticipating and this weekend the NFL playoffs start - good times.
As for FF, as usual I'm mostly doing Nyzul. Last night we had 2 runs on my disc, and we won both 36-40, putting my disc on the same floor as Cujo's. We're planning to farm 40 more for Askar, though I'm chomping at the bit to climb and reach the weapons, but I can't complain when last night I got these:
We went 2/2, Goliard both times, and me and Zeri both won it. The fun part of this is, on our second run, our Ninja extraordinaire Arien DC'd on floor 37 (I believe) in the middle of an "all" floor. Now, our usual operating setup is NIN THF DRG BLM BRD WHM. So, ok, we can kill these DC mobs with Cujo THF tanking. A few mobs later, Sass on BRD DC's also....!
Well the long and short of it is, we proceeded to clear a quick ITG tiger floor, then a 5-lamp order floor (thank GOD not same time) with only 4 ppl, got to floor 40 (still with 4 ppl), and started to fight Adamantoise with THF DRG WHM BLM. We were getting beat on because we had no way to keep hate on the THF, when who should pop up but ARIEN! Lucky! We ended up killing with a few minutes to spare. What a rush.
Perhaps bigger news is that we claimed and killed KB shortly before Nyzul. What a fun fight, it's been a long time. However, things have changed a bit apparently^^; It used to be, people stole from RMT and Churchill stole from anyone on his hate list, but now it seems that there's a linkshell full of assholes ready to steal from anybody. It went white briefly and like 15 ppl stunned it. Thank god we got it right back. We killed in proper order with 2 Meteors and 0 death. He stunned me once and gave me a scare but no Meteor^^. Drops were OK, 2 hides, SC, W head. I'm holding the non-EX drops for now but I don't even know who was there at pop so yeah. I guess the sacks will tell me what to do with em.
In Vanguard, Brock and Brandon have been playing as well, so we're having a lot of fun. My BRD is 34, a good 4-5 levels higher than them, so I'm working on my Cleric for a while. BRD is an offensive fighter in VG with a touch of crowd control and party support. It's very interesting... Here's my XP bar and my two weapons I'm dualling, they are pretty badass:
And my cleric with his weapon which is pretty good DPS for a lv14 character... Cleric is a healer than can wear heavy armor, making them one of the more amazing solo straight fighters in the game. I can kill some crazy stuff relative to my level^^
Plans for now include more CLR and BRD leveling in VG; possibly leveling SAM23 in a set PT in FF; hopefully some merit PTs on BRD at some point... and of course Rock Band anytime we have guests over :). Send me a tell if you've got a guy in VG and maybe we can go kill some bad guys somewhere :).
