So there's actually a reason to do Chocobo racing now?

Almost.



I assume it comes from racing, which certainly is a nice addition to the previously-attainable pile of nothing.

Dynamis-Xarcabard!

This very well could be sporting a D. Tabard/Chapeau before me. Waaah indeed.












Nice run, not too many drops (surprise) but Arcadian finally got his Wyrm Armet (I gathered he'd been after it for a while before I joined, so it was nice to see). Can't remember much else, some MNK went to auto sort, BRD dropped, and this:


My turn to stun didn't even come around this time, so I just CS stunned some normal mobs later on for giggles.

More Campaign!

Only just managed the half-way point to my promotion after spamming all 7 ops (which was a pain with the city constantly under siege) and a ton of battles. Things are improving though, there was a reasonable selection of ops available compared to what was there before.


It made me wonder why no-one else would engage the boss other than me...


Turns out he keeps summoning elementals which spam -aga nukes and pop underneath the bridge so no-one can get at them. I ended up going down after converting and some perfectly timed nukes broke my fresh stoneskin before I could cure myself. For shame.

Meriting! (or lack thereof)



An offer I couldn't fail to refuse. I don't know if I'm just being pompous, but I really don't want to spend my time meriting at 5k/hour in just-getting-to-75 parties. Considering it's possible to get 20k+/hour with the right setup of 75's (my last outing with the LS resulted in 2 merits over the course of 45 minutes) it doesn't matter how intrugued I am by a pld/dnc, it's not worth the wasted time... I've made that mistake far too often.

I lied, and said I was supposed to be seeking on drg - despite my seacom being completely contrary to this aliby, I assumed he hadn't read it. He didn't say anything else, so I got away with it. But it didn't really end well for me, I'm just stood in Whitegate now without any kind of party :(

I might just solo DRG to 50, despite the lack of decent camps, so I can quest/store/discard my AF.
