Dark Knight

Friday December 28, 2007 at 10:34 PM (EST) by Cyberstorm

So Dark Knight is pretty fun, I’m actually enjoying leveling it (except for a few bad parties). It’s leveling up much faster than Scholar was, so I guess this’ll be my next job to 75 (or close to 75).

I still need to finish Thief ._.;

Currently my Dark Knight is level 42, and lfp. Weekends always bring around slow exp parties since 5 parties all try to camp in the same spot. Also there are 5,000 other melee jobs seeking at the same time.

One more level and I can use my Relic Scythe, which is good until sometime in the early 50s I think.

Which is good, since I used all my gil to get gear and spells (and I’m still missing some of the absorb spells)…

In Campaign news, I ranked up again. :3 Still have a long way to go to catch up to Rilian though. D:

Fuck SCH!

Thursday December 27, 2007 at 02:14 AM (EST) by Cyberstorm

SCH is sorta fun, but I think I’ll put off leveling it for awhile to level a different job I’ve had my eye on for awhile now. I think I’ll have fun playing Dark Knight!

At least… have fun when I’m alive!

From Bronze to Brass

Friday December 21, 2007 at 03:15 AM (EST) by Cyberstorm

With only 3 days left until I would’ve had to get a new ribbion (and lose all my Campaign Ops/battle progress), I manage to rank up to the second rank. I’m not ranking up as fast as I started to in ToAU assault ranks, but I like the way this system works, as I can rank up mostly by myself when my friends are too busy to help.

Storms and Helixes

None of those scrolls for the storm spells sold on the AH ever. I had to buy them from the NPC.

It costs 66,209G to get all of those spells. I need to find a way to make gil, so I can buy the Helix spells ._.; It’s going to cost well over 100k to get the Helix spells, which sucks ass. It’s like BLM all over again!

Scholar level up!

Wednesday December 19, 2007 at 03:12 AM (EST) by Cyberstorm

Scholar is getting more and more fun as I start to get higher in level and better parties.

I just got my 6th level in the same party, been going for a few hours now, started at 9k exp/hr and is now at 6k exp/hr (since we’re mostly all level 36-38 and still in Garlaige Citadel).

Scholar is now a fully leveled subjob, and is on it’s way to 75!

I need to update more

Tuesday December 18, 2007 at 01:28 PM (EST) by Cyberstorm

So my original idea of updating everyday doesn’t really work, since there’s usually not much to say. I try to update time-to-time, but there’s rarely enough to update on that makes more than a sentence.

However, since plenty of time has passed since I last updated, there are a few things to touch up on.

I have been leveling Scholar for a little while now, and I have to say, it sucks. I think at later levels it will be cool, but these lower levels really, really suck. I did just hit 32 the other day though.

Once I got Seer’s +1 gear (and now solid wand and black cape +1), my nukes are actually worth casting. I rarely get asked to main heal, although it’s pretty easy at these levels with regen and low level cures. Regen II is not far off (level 35-37, somewhere around there), which will make main healing even easier.

I finally broke down and did the two new Gobbiebags. I regret doing that now, as the Adaman Ingot price is dropping fast now, already someone got it for 50k cheaper than I did. I ended up spending 276,000 gil total on it (would’ve been even more if I didn’t quest the Deathstone and Angelstone). But it is nice to now have 70 slots instead of 60. All they need to do now to make me even happier is expand the mog locker to like 100 slots. That would be awesome!

The Thief hit 71 about 2 weeks ago. Not much to say about that, other than now I need to break my dagger. Eventually.

In even older news, the day I hit 70 thf, Rilian and I went Thief Knife farming. After about 24? (something like that) kills, the pop item needed to spawn Sozu Rogberry dropped. However, while farming for the pop item, we had a death.

img_20071203_201214.png

Damn bees. But we did kill Sozu Rogberry easily enough.

img_20071203_201520.png

So then we had an hour to kill, so we went farming for another pop item, and got it within 3-4 kills.

img_20071203_202534.png

Knives for all!

After Scholar hit 32, I decided to put some of the merits I had laying around in my pool into magic skills. I did some math, and at level 75 and with Dark Arts up, SCH can reach just below an A+ (4 under) skill in elemental magic (with 8 elemental magic merits). So that means, SCH may be as useful as BLM in some cases. Maybe.

In other news, I have re-joined a sea shell on my server, JailersElite. They’re not a bad linkshell, although we do die a lot to things I don’t think we should. But it’s fun, and I make back the exp I lose from dying.

So far the only thing I’ve obtained from them is a brand new staff, which I didn’t even want (I zoned to go back to the safehold, and by doing so my pass went to nothing, thus making it auto-sort to me) .

img_20071216_010021.png

I almost got a Justice sword from them last night, but I fucked up when casting a spell and hit an outside monster and got us all killed. Oh well, accidents happen.

That’s all for now!

Blog Update & Misc. Stuff

Sunday December 02, 2007 at 12:58 AM (EST) by Cyberstorm

I have gone through and changed the encoding on all the tables in the database so that my blog (and all the blogs hosted on blogs.fungusamungusls.com) now support Japanese and other languages!

にょろ~ん!

It took forever to figure out, but I finally found what the cause was. :3

In other news, I was looking at my only High School post I saved when I changed blogs, and it got me to thinking… I haven’t seen/spoken to anyone from High School (except on once) since I graduated. That one time was when one of my old friends dropped by my house while he was on the way to somewhere (can’t remember where). I wonder if it’s normal to not keep in touch with anyone from high school once you graduate.

My only theory is that I never truly liked any of my friends they were really just people I could… not connect with, but tolerate? Not sure what good non-negative word would be there. I don’t really miss anyone from high school, and I don’t feel bad about not keeping in touch with anyone really. Maybe not having any relationships with anyone makes it easy.

Oh well, just a thought… ┐(゜~゜)┌
