Sol Endyein

Went out and tried to work on Yag Necklaces but I got a party invite, and even though I didn’t have my flag up I decided to join them.  This was my first time actually doing anything in Altepa, as my only previous experience had been getting stealthed through so that I could solo kill Garuda.  The party moved fairly slow and experience was only a trickle, but I still managed to get a level out of it and some skillups so that wasn’t a big deal to me.

Afterwards the most helpful Mithra ever assisted me in loading up on Cornettes and we finished off my current needed Windurst fame, actually pushing it past my goal of six and into seven. I grabbed my key item Lightning Tuning Fork for future preperation, but no help was available at the moment so Ramuh will have to wait for another day.  At least I still have the mini one for teleporting.

With that done and no longer really in the mood to kill Yagudo, I decided to finish off unlocking DNC, so I headed into the past and tried out Invisible.  Hot damn is it fantastic having that for myself and not having to rely on/bug other people to get myself through areas I shouldn’t be in.  I had also been hoping to get to the Cavernous Maw that was down there but an unexpected wall blocked my path so I put it off for now.

Then to cap off the night I bought myself a new chest piece of a Seer’s Tunic and an Eremite’s Wand.  I’m still debating about whether I should keep the latter, in the vein of that should I purchase a grip for my old staff I’d have +11MP more whereas the club has +2INT, +2MND and reduction for spell interruption.  I suppose if I had a better selection for off-hand this wouldn’t be much of an issue.

Yagudos are learning to fear my SMN staff style, it reaches deep into their hearts and sits there, haunting their dreams.  Smacking them around got my count up to 60/200 necklaces, so I should be done with Norg fame this week one way or another.  Also got an Aspir Knife for when I start up DNC to compliment PUP thanks to a certain friendly PLD, though it’s probably a while off before I’ll use it.  I’m pretty happy to finally be farming things that will actually drop, as opposed to the NMs I’d been doing which were rare spawns and rarer drops.  Didn’t get anything from those attempts, overall had a couple of wasted days doing that.

I was then recruited for some linkshell Kazham leveling, as I’m hoping to get my WHM high enough up as to start teleporting.  Only got one level, but since we obtained a PL due to having some terrible pick-up members I turned it into a skill-up party for myself and boosted my Divine and Enfeebling by a good amount.  Routinely going up 0.4 and 0.5 off Divine casts probably says something about how long its been since I’ve tried to level that.  I suppose this is prepping for the one day when I might get to obtain Holy, though that isn’t really something I’m after.

Also, I finally got to Raise people for the first time. Now I just need to get around to doing something that requires Invisible, which will probably be getting DNC.

Yesterday was spent in the splendor of fame raising, an incredibly successful setup that performed better than I’d hoped.  Millioncorn was on sale in San d’Oria, which is by far the easiest and quickest city to heft it from, allowing me to ride out and Warp back to boost Bastok and San d’Oria to level six in no time.  I got help with Windurst fame as Bastok was luckily in second place, with my partner positioning himsef so as to constantly feed my mailbox with Cornettes.  I rose two ranks in about an hour, leaving me two more to polish off hopefully tonight.

 As that finished I was lucky enough to have some LS members already farming Yagudo necklaces, so I popped right over and we busted out 36/200 for me.  Some insistence on my poor manner of upgrading outfits occured and it was determined they would help me raise the money for better clothes.  One of them also agreed to help me on finishing off the fame runs, which will allow me to recruit help for my remaining needed avatars.  Ramuh and Leviathan shall soon be mine, then I can begin a full round for Fenrir  Suprisingly successful, all things considered.
