It's Miller time!

er... I mean: it's Melee time!

Yeah, that's right. Just yesterday I realized that jack-o'-lanterns only cost 1k gil from the festival moogles (and can even be FREE if you just step outside the city and spend no more than 5 or 10 minutes killing a single 1-hp bat and a weak-assed NM) which means it's time to start putting that good food to some good use and leveling my melee jobs this week. Most likely just DNC, but I suppose my THF is a possibility too.

Next week i'm outta town and, the week after, i'm pretty sure the event will be over. Hmmm... Maybe I should just stock-up on them for future use... or even profit, considering they normally sell in Bastok for 3k.... but I guess we'll see.

This weekend I spent a couple hours in Campaign Battles again just cuz i was bored lfp (unsuccessfully for a couple hours) on my DNC. Did a little exploring of the past over towards Castle Oz [S]. Got my final past Gate Crystal (in Meriph [S]). Got more xp and meritted Kick Attacks up to level 2. And, to top it off, even got a rank-up in Campaign. ^^

I also did more questing in Windy and am basically a fight (some bones NM in Eldieme Necropolis) away from getting my key item to get easy access into the Fenrir Prime area. And even wasted a couple hours camping Quu Domi again... 2 out of 3 I got the claim. None dropped the haste feet. When I left, I told one of the other campers the ToD and he kept me posted on his luck over the next couple hours. He was claiming both Yag NMs multiple times and didn't get either to drop to good stuff. I'm startin to think those haste feet are purely a myth, invented by some cruel, sadistic brat who just sits {Invisible} on the level up above, laughing all day and night at the people down below, wasting their time and whittling their sanity into oblivion. ... Then again, the dude I gave the ToD to "knows someone who went 1/1 on the feet and was something like 0/80 on the hands".

OMG! That "someone" was probably that same sadistic brat spreading his lies!!!

/em wants to feed the tasty brat to Jormy...

SAM's Song

Here's a happy tune (a happy tune...)

Good stuff happening this week and I don't even need to spend much time discussing it: SAM up to 37. ^^ Killin spider-pets in East Altepa = good times... except when the damn goblins keep turning around all the damn time and link and kill your chain and.... (happy place... go to your happy place....)

Other than that: defeated Ramuh Prime and can now summon him, thus completing all main 6 avatar pacts. Yippy skippy! Also: defeated Shiva and Ifrit again to start collecting whispers for the Fenrir Prime fight. Also: started on the Windurst quests to obtain the key item to get access to Toraimarai Canal via the Priming Gate in Windurst Walls. Hopfully I'll have the quests completed by Sunday so we can blitz through the remaining avatar fights again and maybe go hit-up Fenrir Prime.

nuff for now. sleepytime.

Keep the change, ya filthy animal.

So, Treu was out of town again, which means I got to borrow his equipment and be home alone, all weekend, abusing Screamin.
...
No, you perv, "his equipment" meaning "his laptop" and "abusing" meaning "PLing myself".
...
You sick little monkey! "PLing myself" does not mean "playing with myself".
...
Yes, technically I was alone and playing, but it doesn't mean it the way you're making it sound.
...
No, it doesn't mean "playing with Screamin" either.
...
Stop it already! It's not sexual at all!
...
Seriously. Just knock-off the giggling already. /sigh

Accomplishments over the past few days:
- SAM is now at level 30, and I'm startin to see how sweet of a job it is. All of those Job Abilities and Traits to help build TP faster. Mikey likey!
- DNC is now at level 25, which now means free Snk/Invis! (I've basically always just been using potions/powders/ninja-tools, which are costly and/or take up inventory space.) Some of the dances are pretty slick too, but apparently I need to be in parties to make them really effective. (Soloing from 21 - 25 went kinda slow.)
- Defeated 3 more avatars, so I can now summon them: Ifrit Prime, Shiva Prime, Leviathan Prime
- Obtained Carbuncle Mitts, which I actually should have gotten like 3 levels ago for my SMN, but whateva. Now I can get back to leveling SMN without feeling gimped.

Near-future plans:
- Defeat Ramuh Prime so I can finally summon all Celestial Avatars
- Defeat all main 6 Prime Avatars again, to get the whispers, to get my Moon Bauble, to go fight Fenrir Prime, to be able to summon Fenrir, to be schweet
- Level SAM up to 36 or 37 so we can hit-up the {fun} zone
- If that is accomplished this week, then I'll probably switch back to SMN and start leveling that up to 37 as well

Cobra Lalalalalalalalalalalalala!!!

I haven't done too much over the past several days because I was out of town for a wedding for an extended weekend. So, here's a quick summary of what's been accomplished since my last post:

1. Got my SAM to 23 with /WAR out in Qufim. It was kinda nice to make some progress on something other than my MNK.
2. Did a lil crafting and bumped my smithing and clothcraft up a tad bit more. I only mainly did this to start clearing up some inventory space.
3. A ton of Campaign Battles. (as usual) But I finally got enough xp to rank-up and get my Holy Knight Emblem and, just last night, my Brass Wings of Service key items! After getting the wings, I immediately ran over and bought some Cobra Unit Subligar for 50k Allied Notes. Yay! New Leg Piece! Maybe I can finally get rid of my Vendor's Slops!

Well, honestly, that was it. I guess now I can back-off of doing Campaign Battles and get back to leveling SAM, SMN and NIN. The only thing I currently want to save up my Allied Notes for now is the Cobra Unit Body piece, but since it hasn't been released yet, I can take my good ol' sweet time ranking up and just hope they add it in in the next update in November. (I supposed I could also save up some Allied Notes for some good gear for SAM, SMN and NIN too, but I won't be needing those items for quite a while.)
