Paragon of Dragoon Excellence.

DRG is now 50, waiting on me to level /sam before carrying on. Thrown my AF weapon as it's useless now and completed all my AF quests. The helm is the only really useful piece of the whole set, and even then only for soloing (although the 'enhances jump effects' on the boots looks interesting, it's not exactly clear what they enhance). I could end up throwing it all away except the head, so I don't have to bother with the storage NPC every time I want to solo. But I need to get to a level where I can wear it before worrying about that.




NM fights were typically easy, although I did need to get help for the final NM fight (2 shadows) because I had to be on DRG to spawn them.









Many thanks to Flam and Xarp for killing the gimp fomors for me!

Technically, I did have help doing the first AF quest, since I had to go through The Eldieme Necropolis, and because SE didn't think going to Sandy > Jeuno (to buy a hairpin) > Sandy (waiting 1 game day) > Bastok > Sandy > Eldieme wasn't enough of a pain in the ass already (in order to obtain a crappy piece of gear I'm not gonna use anyway), they obviously thought it fitting to have you find your way to the island in Batallia Downs as well. Nobody was with me at the time, so I just went afk overnight running into the door that I needed opening. I got disconnected at some point, but when I logged on, I was in the place I wanted to be - so thanks to the mystery person who opened the door for me! (whether it was intentional or not :D)

Coffer montage!


Nothing special, just the same that applies to most jobs. I did use the opportunity to get a few points off my disector's latent while farming keys though. Kuftal was surprisingly the one that game me the most trouble (as this is typically the easiest coffer to get ever...), it was never up for me, so I had to take about three trips to find it - in the process of this, I discovered to my disadvantage that the spiders there were aggressive and had to chainspell-teleport myself after running into a gang of four of them. Ifrit's Cauldron was the one I was not looking forward to, but I ended up getting really lucky and the coffer popping in a relatively easily accessable place.


Skillawps. My NPC is about 1/4 way to 65 now, I should look into doing his next limit break quest.


In other news... I didn't win the Mog Bonanza. I'm quite disheartened by this, although I have no idea why I was expecting to win in the first place... I did however get an exp scroll for each of my mules. 30k well spent. At least I don't have to choose between D.tabard, Nashira and Homam legs on rank 3.

Arrapago Remenants puts out!
But not what we need, I think this is our 3rd or 4th Ares body 35, but still no Morrigans. Fucking rats.





I've been farming some Zeni recently, not sure if I'll get chance to do the NMs any time soon, but it would be nice to get some points ready. There's only two items from ZNMs that I'm interested in particularily: Aurum Sabatons (drg, nice Dusk/Amir hybrid) and a Muse Tariqah (rdm, max mnd will then be at +73).


Sanraku had a Diremite fixation for about 4 days, so I spent several hours running to/from Aydeewa Subterrane leaving me with enough Zeni for three tier I NMs.
