Lots of Goldsmithing action.

Well, I have been getting alot of GS action, its been GREAT! I am now 75.0 Goldsmithing. I am now feel like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have had 2 buddies quit the game in the past week and have in the process given me alot of items to sell off. I figure I will need 2-3 mill more to get my GS to 80.0. My goal is to get at least 1.0 a week so I am wanting to say no more then 5 weeks for me to accomplish my task to get to 80.0.

Along the way, I got my Woodworking from 9-11 and Smithing from 32-36, crafting the materials I need for the Targes I need.

I havent really done much besides make money, craft, and do LS events. We had a couple Kirins and got 2 W.Legs. That will be good for the line. I need some W.Legs as well as a few others. We killed behemoth the other day. I actually claimed it. We got the tongue so that was cool.

I dont know what my shell is up to this week, but I hope we do Dynamis Sandy, I want a Bard hat!

Goldsmithing

So I have decided instead of meriting alot and such, I am going to lvl my Goldsmithing. I am rather excited about it now, since my buddy recently aquired a 100+3 Woodworking char. I will probably be trying to hit elemental bead skill up lvls as soon as I can. I got .8 the past 2 days. Pretty nice. I am not 72. I have started keeping track of my spending for this stage since its a very expensive stage, and usually the reason people stop lvling GS.

I think I am pretty close to giving up on Shrimp Lanterns for skill ups. I am going to finish out the 5 moblumin sheets I got then just worry about making gil to buy all my ingrediants. I have 7-8 lvls I need to skill up to hit bead lvl. I estimate that as 5-6 mil in cost to me.

I am actually pretty excited about this. I am anxious to get going. I have nothing to really spend gil on besides Limbus and since I am not keeping my coins for the time being its sometimes profitable. I figure I can make enough gil to do 24 synthes a week with out trying too hard. I also have tons of beastmen seals I want to use up on the PCC BCNM. Hopefully I can get this done in a couple months. At least thats my hope.

75 BRD!!!

Finally got my BRD to 75. What a relief. Only problem is im 3k tnl to 37 on my WHM. Oh well. I imagine I will get it done this week.

I picked this up the other day at Kirin for only 79 points.

It was nice I picked this up the day before I dinged 75 on BRD.

I made a decent amount of gil this week. I sold my Dusk Ledelsons when I saw that Aurum Feet was somewhat easy to get. I ended up buying a few goodies:

1.2 Mill spent 100% satisfaction.

To top it off, I got my Apollyon item for my AF+1 upgrade on BRD. Here is the item I am going to get.

Getting all these items opens alot of options on what I want to do with my free time. My DRK is pretty much finished up with buyable gear with the exception of a Hauberk +1. So I may focus not really focus on making gil for awhile. I dont know what I am going to do. I may just take some time and try and at least finish off job specific merits for my DRK.

Massive New Update

The jury is still out on the update that just happend yesterday. I spent 7 hours downloading it. Things that I am most excited about:

1. AUTO SORTING!!!
2. PLD Spell that enhances shield procs and reflects some of the dmg to the mob.
3. Einerjar!!! It got quite the buff. Requirements arent a big pain in the ass anymore and then enhanced drops. Hopefully they enhanced drop rates of the ABJ. Out of all the Einerjar I have done I have only seen 1 abj drop.
4. Getting points to pop NMs. This is still what I am curious about. It appears to be linked to Panrankin, which is full of stupid. I really hope this doesnt turn out to be as stupid as it sounds.

Well I been afk from the game alot the past few days because of issues in RL, but that seems to be wrapped up now, so maybe I will get to have fun on the game again. I did manage to exp BRD 2 times this weekend and get halfway to 73. I got into a dual BRD merit cannon one of the times to net me 20k an hr. It didnt last long but it did confirm that I can do merit parties just fine, especially now that I can wear my Errant gear. I have 47 Ancient Beastcoins and enough money to buy the rest of my Musical Earring but I have decided to just be patient and accumulate coins via Limbus.

After I get some stuff sold I am either going to buy the Cursed Gloves to uncurse my N.Hands, a Fire Bomblet, or a Foragers Mantle. I have been really lazy at making money the past 3-4 months. I think I have farmed 2-3 times.

Usually the week of an update I just farm farm farm. I do this because everyone is so excited about the update and exploring and finding out how to get the new items, that I can usually farm pretty much with no competition. Perhaps this will be a good opportunity for me to pick up a few things before I go back to laziness mode.

We are making Einerjar a priority in my HNM shell now. I think this is a great idea. There are 2 items I want from Einerjar at the moment. Ritter Gorget and Omega Ring. I also want lots of the ABJ, but mainly E.Body and N.Head.

FINALLY!!! GOOD EXP!!

I am soo happy I have been getting some good exp as of late. My past 2 parties have done 21k and 17k respectively. I am now sitting at a fresh 71 on BRD! My buddies in my social LS are going to try and form a Merit party with me leeching along the way tonight. Should be an excellent party if I can sleep the mobs half way decent, but that is what I am worried about. From what I understand everything becomes easy at 72 when I can equip errant body and legs.

I missed Limbus yesterday due to RL things so no shot at finishing up the Apollyon item I need for BRD AF+1 upgrade.

I dont think we have any big plans this weekend with the HNM shell. Maybe we may do some sky. I am coming up on 200 points starting to feel like i have a decent amount of points to work with. I am not going to win big ticket items, but I can start competing for maybe some decently wanted items.

Again not a whole lot of fun stuff.

Meh EXP on BRD

Man I have been plagued by bad parties on my BRD. All I can say is I am absolutely sick of BLUs and PLDs, let alone BLUs and PLDs in the same party w/o a RDM. I had one party where they were trying to tank with 2 BLUs. I am also sick of Caedarva Mire. Yes it is good exp when you arent counter camped to shit, but god if 5-6 parties are there and you are getting 4-5k an hr, LEAVE THAT CAMP. Seems like people are idiots now a days. I was trying for 70-71 this past weekend but only got 18k exp from 3-4 parties. It's stupid. I managed to get 8.5k solo in campaign to put me 5k tnl to 70. I will be very thankful when I get 72 can equip Errant gear and get people in my HNM shell to merit to finish my way to 75.

My LS got Niddy on Sunday. We got some N.Legs. Got another Fortitude Torque to drop yesterday. I lost bid, oh well.

Anyways, I havent had alot of goals ingame as of late, with the exception of exping BRD and showing up to all the events I can. I need to do some beastmen seal and kindred seal burning to make some money. We have 3 Kirins scheduled for Wednesday. These are the same Kirin pops we have been trying to pop for 2 weeks now. Hopefully we actually get to do it.

I know my updates have been pretty boring as of late. Hopefully some fun stuff will happen soon, but I foresee the same ol shit for the next couple weeks.
