Ares Gauntlets

I got this yesterday:



Which let me finish my first Salvage piece:



I have been trying to see if I could work this into a build or not on my DRK, but I just cant find anywhere it would be immediately helpful until I get full ares. I think it would beat out Hecatomb Gloves for Raging Rush and Steel Cyclone on WAR but I havent touched WAR in about a year I am guessing.

Other then that, I dont have much else on news. Been making gil. I did buy another 1000 byne bills so I am up to 2300. I am almost halfway done and I havent got any bynes from my dynamis LS yet. Pretty awesome progress I must say. Hopefully Motley updates DRP soon so I will officially have enough DRP to start getting some coinage and maybe talk the LS into getting my attension.

Salvage Progress.

I picked up this:



Rather exciting I am finally close to obtaining my first Salvage piece. I just need the 15 piece from ZR. We usually spend time doing 3 35 NMs which usually cuts us too close on time to kill boss. But alas, we killed boss finally. I havent killed this boss before so its something else I can mark off my list.

I havent done much else; I made quite a bit of gil, actually last week was the most gil I have ever made in a weeks time ever in FFXI. I am guessing if I can pick up my Attension of Vigor I am on track to have Bec de Faucon in about 2 months. So lets hope I continue to make gil like I have to expedite it!!!

It has been a long time coming. Congratulations Motley.

More Salvage Luck.

Welp, my luck has changed in Salvage. Last week I got 35 Ares hands, and Yesterday, I got this beauty.



I now have the 35 piece of 2 of my top 3 salvage pieces I want. This was super exciting to me. I want to upgrade the Usukane Sune-ate asap because it would be one of the usu pieces that would be an upgrade w/o the full set. I am going to see what I can do to get the 15 and 25 piece asap.

Motley recieved his Fragment for Bravura on Saturday. This was exciting because he is really close to finishing Bravura. I think he has enough short term loans (for the last 3000 coins that you end up getting back) to finish in the next day or so. Though I know its not really an achievement for me, myself, the gil from the last time I quit helped him achieve that goal alot faster which makes me feel awesome. Nothing better then helping a buddy accomplish a huge goal like that.

So hopefully soon I will be able to publish a picture of Motley with his brand new Bravura.

Made some killer gil this week, almost 3mill. I am about 2-3 weeks away from having enough gil buffer that I will start buying Byne Bills with all the extra gill I can and hopefully I will have enough DRP to start getting coins from LS. I should be really close.
