the usual suspects

These are the three that i've kinda been hanging around for awhile now. L-R Screamer, myself, Shize, and Forix. We're not all actually low lvl... Forix had us standing around and then going out to kill random mobs for some sort of video game video/report/essay/thing he was doing for a class. I think I was a 10thf/5war in this picture. Shize was a NIN, Screamer a SCH, and forix a ... DRK... I think. Either way, we were all playing jobs none of us normally play. I ended up kind of liking THF and have since lvl'd it up to 17. ^_^

I'm starting to get more into DD jobs. I think I like the idea of hitting the enemy instead of being hit by it. Crazy concept huh? I've still been having terrible pt's for my PLD (i'm still at 67), but oh well. I'll get through that. Last night I actually had a pretty decent pt. Rather than going to Caedavire Mire, we ended up at G-8 in Bhaflau Thickets fight Date Eruca's rather than Heraldic Imps. The result was much faster kills, more exp, and less down time because of stupid status effects like silence and amnesia. I hate fighting imps. Ugh. Left my pt last night with about 10,000 TNL... which isn't bad I guess since I started out at 28,000 in the pt. I came in to replace a NIN who was their main tank, so of course they all didn't stay together as long as I would have liked, but the fact that the pt was doing well while i was with them was nice. I'd like to try that again tonight, but somehow I have the feeling I won't get it.

Over the weekend, i'm going to try to get to 70 and get a couple of rare/ex items I need to PLD. (parade gorget, jelly ring, and bomb queen ring). Stuff I might need to continue lvl'ing with suitable gear.

After the pt last night, I ended up running around with my artist LS; Odinartists (a group of artists who all play on Odin... duh?). Ahvi (a 30war) was needing to do a run for Bastok 2-3 (dragon killing! yay!) so a bunch of us volunteered to help her. I kinda came in late on it, but still got to go out and slap that dragon around. heh. I think all together it was Taiso, Norris, Erkz, Teg, Ahvi, and myself. We ended up breaking the record for beating the dragon by nearly 3 minutes. ha! Anyways, I like this LS. It's not too over-crowded... stays fairly active... and I tend to get along with the people really well (Norris and Taiso are great guys.) There's a nice mix of 75's and lower lvl's in there and a lot of people that are willing to help with stuff. I occassionally do to so I actually feel like I contribute to the group. heh. fun stuff.
