wow... soooo... my blog is gimp

after looking through a few other blogs (though Cinnabun's links in his blog) I realize that my feable blog looks fairly awful compared to most others. I'll uh... get to work on that once I figure out how these guys get some of the cool looking stat bars and stuff on their pages.

i need money.

Angel skin drops make me happy... or really... having gil makes me happy. Doing campaign for so long kinda makes me forget about farming on lvl'ing normally. So I spent last night camping Devil Manta in Kuftal Tunnel with Leenk and Cptporkchop. It usually ends up being a fairly boring time doing that, but... I'm poor so that works.

... I really need to craft more. But... I'm lazy...

I'm trying to lvl a DD job next. Kinda taking a break from PLD for awhile (though it's still my main of course). I've been messing with MNK, DRK, and SAM. I'm told I'll have the most luck with DRK and SAM for end game and tp burn pt's... stuff like that. But... I actually like mnk and with a dnc sub it's insanely easy to solo. If nothing else, all those jobs I'll take up to 37 real quick and go from there.

oh! I got my Iron Ram Hauberk! (and I completely forgot to screen cap it when I got it.)

ws over 1k

So... I know for sam's or drg's or any other DD jobs this isn't a big deal, but I thought it was kinda cool for me as a pld. I broke 1k for the first time on a weapon skill. :D

wheeeee!

Vanguard X = the blind leading the blind

So when I have any campaign ops credits, I usually do a quick run of the Vanguard X campaign ops mission... in East Ronfaure [S] primarily. It's quick (about 5 minutes so long as I'm only escorting 1 reinforcement) and easy and normally is rated at about 3 or 4 stars... so end up with about 350 XP and 1100 allied notes. Piece of cake. The only bad thing about it is that the reinforcements just seem dumb as rocks.

"... one more word out of you and I'm feeding you to the Orcs, dumbass"

The NPC will say one of three things. Either "I'm worried about the soldiers back at the Garrison" (and then he runs back to the checkpoint), "Is that an enemy scout?" (and then running the west), or "You're slower than turtles in the mud" (and running northish...toward the stronghold...sorta). The two latter NPC remarks aren't as bad. They kinda end up going in the direction I want them to without my guidance...but the former... I always secretly wish I could just kill the bastard myself. lol Still though... Easy Allied Notes and XP.

And speaking of which... 5 more days till I have my iron ram Hauberk. WOOT!

campaign results

As it stands, I'm right now 12 days aways (3 more evaluations) from getting my Iron Ram Hauberk. :D This will be my first set of any thing resembling end-game gear so I'm rather excited about it. Campaign goes pretty well for me for the most part. I average 2k+ on most battles and generally do the vaguard X campaign ops missions for extra allied notes.

From August 13th



I lurk around a few forums now. I'll probably never post. I've never really been a fan of socializing through message boards over the net...unless I know the people in person. I read what a lot of people getting in campaign as far as XP/LP goes. I kinda wonder if people know that there are caps on what you do and if they know how that effects their rewards. I'm sure they kinda do...but you always kinda see people either playing against a mob like they would in an xp party. >.>
oh well.
I do well in campaign. I'm happy with it. I think though after I've gotten my IR set completed... I'm going to be done with it for awhile and probably start working on lvl'ing a new job. I have only 1 lvl 75 at this time... I need something else.
