      lol, I wouldn't have said I used to be (completely) hopeless at the game - I've managed to clear the core game and the first 3 expansions with very well organised groups, I wouldn't have said that what gear I had was (absolutely) **** - I felt I got by quite happily.

      But now, it's been over 5 (I think) years since I started and compared to people that have been playing for alot less, I still feel like a bit of a noob. The problem seems to be, is that this game is an MMO in the truest sense of the word - it's something that needs ALOT of time investing into it, perhaps more than it used to, something I don't have by the bucket load anymore.

      That said, over the past 2 days I have been slowly finding my feet again, a dedicated evening of farming is bearing up nicely, plus I've also netted a rather impressive 25 extra kindred seals over that period (amazingly I made less than that after a month's BST soloing!). There is still a way to go until I get back to where I want to be with the game but at the same time I won't disillusion myself with stupidly unacheivable goals like relic weapons and the like - I just don't have the time for them.

              Naw thats only my 5th job, so 10 more to go before maats cap. However next on the list is everyones fav DD SAM. Again I have lots of gear I can re-use for it so its up next.

              Plans after that are SMN to 75 and then to just pass maat with the others.

              Although i have taken a liking to RNG but have not got the gil to lvl it atm.

                What's this? Tickle without gil? When did the World stop? Why was I not informed of this?

                Comment


                  Ive got gil just thinkin about using it to lvl a craft thats all lol.

                  Why dont u dig out the old blm dara and do ENM Brothers or ISNM solo? GILZ!

                  Plus if u get a Cloud Evoker many LS will buy it for around 500k.

                    Because I'm terrible at soloing that's why

                    I'm only just starting to get the hang of BST 61 lvls into it...

                    Comment


                      To be fair Brothers is only soloable by a well geared RDM as far as I know, I'm not really up to it for a 100% win rate. What ISNM is soloable I've got butt loads of IS to spend on something, pretty much anything.

                      BLM has dented the wallet up to 64 now and I reckon must ahve dropped 1.4 million in spells over the last monrh got all the end game gear to buy yet as well. On the upside most of te RDM gear doubles over just deciding HQ or NQ weskit.

                      Had another loss to king gold this time ran out of time before we could pop the rune, needed about 15 secs more if that. The ongoing not captain stuff is getting anoying!

                      Been watching the queues in Dynacore come down as well, will start running northlands again soon I think. Hard for me to make any of them but with new drop rates can probably fudge in the odd one.

                        This is were we are wrong mr tsing Blm owns it.

                        XNM Guide - Part II (BLM solo) This second part of the guide will focus on BLM solo fights. I usually prefer using RDM to solo when it' s possible but there are some fights where BLM works better imo, espectially for crowd control or for speed killing, this part covers only 4 fights atm but there…

                          Right seems I have some fun ahead of me once I ding 75 and get those AM2 merits in. Looks like Sorcerers ring is a must to me the extra damage is always lovely and an uggy pendant as well, assuming fast cast would help out so need to pick up rostrums after our next tia ^^

                          Novio is never going to hurt either, just waiting to level now to gear up. Also got 50% of my first AF+1 set for BLM so will upgrade the hat sharpish. BLM is now set for Dyna so time to go collect AF2 as well!

                          Funny when I've duoed to date most other BLMs my level do around 10% less damage than me at least so looking to buff that in end game

                          Excitement, I'm all about it!

                              75k from a Serket ring and a BST axe from Nyzul this evening so not bad at all.

                              Denali gloves from cerb but my awesome lot score of 80 odd wasn't enough to get one over rare's 400 odd. Ah well, I'm sure it'll happen for me EVENTUALLY...

                              Comment


                                Yeah, Nyzul Isle was surprisingly kind to us last night. I’ll be honest, I never expected us to beat the floor 60 boss on the first try so to do so and get an armour drop was brill. I do feel a little guilty about being 2/5 on armour whilst some people haven’t got any yet though but like I said, next piece of Denali that drops is yours

                                One thing I have noticed is that when we beat bosses on disc progress runs, they always seem to drop armour. It’s only when we go after bosses specifically that they become stingy with drops. Still fingers crossed for the boss runs next week. Surely out of 4 we should get one drop?

                                The Serket in run #2 was especially kind to us. Not only did I finally get a Sasuke Katana (along with the Killer Bow last week so I have both my weapons now) the ??? ring actually appraised into a Serket Ring. I fear we got all our luck in one week there.

                                I need approximately 1500 WS points now to unlock Blade: Kamu. That won't be fun.
