Clear!

3 months of Dynamis runs later, and I've got access to every zone, hurrah! My lastest clear was Dynamis-Buburimu and I can prove it, here:


Probably the most uneventful picture (aside from the mysteriously glowing WHM) I could have taken, but I wasn't quite ready for the boss when he arrived so I forgot to take any pictures then.

Dynamis-Tavnazia is the only zone I'm yet to clear (or even enter) but I expect it to be significantly more difficult as only 18 members are allowed entry at once however it does have some pretty nice drops (Icelands relic AF, and -1 counterparts) in there along with Hydra gear (most of it is pretty useless, but it's rare and pretty enough to stand around town in).

Not much progress in leveling on DRG since my last update, but I got 49 and went out to solo skillup until I had Penta Thrust (my target was beetles at Revelation Rock in Western Altepa Desert, were DC~T to me).



This was a suggested solo exp camp, but trying to level here would be a nightmare. Fights were very slow, and I couldn't even chain them without resting (but this might have been down to me, I wasn't trying to end fights quickly, just skillup - and was eating tacos for more survivability).
Beetles suck.

I achieved my objective nonetheless, so I'm satisfied (except I need 50 now to start questing AF). The animation is kinda crappy though. :|

Campaign is still screwed, beastmen hold everything except for the main cities, Campaign Ops have sod all options and disappear inexplicably - I was hoping this was just from the server reset after the last maintenance, but it still persists after the conquest tally so I'm guessing this is some kind of balls-up, or SE does actually hate us. I guess this is what they meant by the new 'ranking system'. Speaking of which, I've gotta start up campaign again else I'll get demoted again...yeey.
If only they'd added some of the new gear to have at least something half decent for RDM, I'd have some incentive for doing it other than soley for the sense of completion.

I could talk about the party I had on DRG that sucked, despite having our own PL and higher level DD's than the last party I had in Garlaige but that sentence about sums up the whole experience, so I won't say any more.
