Weekend Accomplishment Thread (Nov 25)Follow

Post your weekend updates - how did you get on?!

Sadly, my SSD was corrupted on Friday when I got home from work and as I only had the Windows 8 upgrade (from W7) - I couldn't activate after a fresh install so it took me until late Saturday to get everything sorted out. I'm actually not sure who is better at hiding telephone contact details on their website, Microsoft or Amazon.

Anyway, I made up for it on Sunday!

Leatherworker 30 → 41
Culinarian 37 → 41
Weaver 40 → 41
Botanist 37 → 38

I also got about an hour uninterrupted farming on Karakul before two other people decided it was an offence to let anyone farm uninterrupted, there is just no respect or manners between people now. Anyway, got a stack and a bit which should suffice. Hopefully by next weekend I'll have the title 'Mastering the Hand.'

Had a decent weekend of it this time! Got a bit more playtime on Sunday than I've had the last few weeks.

Warrior 45-50, and geared straight out of AF into my PLD gear :-D

Fiiinally finished the story! Ran the last 2 dungeons back to back with 5 friends from my FC and a couple of pick ups (and already encountered disgruntled speed runners. Seriously, lemme enjoy the story or leave lol).

Made a bit of gil, wanna buy the ilvl 70 sword as a temporary upgrade!

*Took PLD from 45-47

*Tanked Dzemael Darkhold for the first time. Made it through but I still need some work on timing and such.

*Raised Culinarian from 47-50 after a final blitz through La Noscean Toast and Rolanberry Cheese turn-in quests (Hello Chantico, Militia Knife, and HQ Culinarian's Gear).

*Got Garuda's spine from the bird. Now I guess I need to get 14 levels for Bard to use it.

I havent replied to one of these before but I remember the last two weeks of crazy fate grinding..
Last weekend too pld from 15-50
This weekend took Blm 23-50 and Relic+1 my drg and unlocked relic for warrior.. That give me WAR50 DRG50 BLM50 and PLD50.. Oh also took whm from 26-41.. Would have gotten 50 but I burnt myself out and whm is the biggest pain (for me) to fate grind I hate it lol. Also helped a few friends get their relic.

Going to take a break from leveling. super burnt out lol. Need to take time out to fully DL war, pld (just missing 2 accessories) and start working on DL for blm. Hopefully that will last me to the next patch so that dungeon exp is boosted and I can take whm through dungeons to finnish it off.

Side note: It seems (completely my opinion) the the entire area of ccp was nerfed not just dark devices. Fates seem to pop slower then I remember from my first time there. Also its amazing people are so closed minded to working both morh dona and ccp for fates (especially since im paying for teles they could just ride lol). They rather just sit in ccp with periods of downtime between fates killing regular mobs. A guy who who was ahead of me by a level ended up being behind me 2 levels by the end of one fate pt I was with and at 400-500k tnls that's a noticeable difference..

Anywho.. Very productive last couple of weekends!

Bard 36 - 42

Doesn't look like much but wow it was a lot of Cancer and Savra.... with more Svara to come

Mastering the Hand and MIN/BTN to 41. Haven't bothered slapping materia in my ALC or CUL AF yet, but everything else is fairly decent minus being OCD about added CP. But in time. I'll be focusing more toward combat classes soon, a bit torn between LNC and ARC. And honestly, part of this is because making gear for them to SB and convert is less time intensive and expensive than it doing it for BLM. Anyone who doesn't appreciate instanced mining nodes has never needed hundreds of fleece. x.x

I tried to farm some yesterday and had to fight off to bots just outside of town.. got 1 to die but the 1 that was porting had a busy sign on and that makes it so you can trade them to get them killed... I can still out farm those bots cause of the delay but some times they were attacking **** that wasn't even popped yet.... anyways if you wanna save some of that fleece you can still use flax that will get to 45 np . There is also a lv 35 leve in Ul' dah that will get you 97k a pop for an hq item (good amount of traveling tho) but the materials are simple and it still uses linen. Then there is a lv 45 leve in Ul'dah that makes you travel to Mor Dhona but you get 155k per Hq lots of travel but you get plenty enough gil back to make up the difference



And my accomplishment was basically finished up my DL set and got my Relic + 1

Was spending time with family this weekend, I got very little in game accomplished. I am in one of those situations where it is important for me to spend less time on the game.

- Took armorer from 13 to 27
- Got very lucky in turn 2 and received the allagan casters bracelet.
- Purchased the Hero's Choker.
- Converted an aetherial ring into a piety materia IV. Love it when that happens.
- A little stronger, a little better. Almost downed turn 4 on Friday night, it really is a mechanics issue. We can take down the second to last dreadnaught before the last one spawns, so the dps is quite sufficient. Well, maybe next week.

Got CUL to 37, WHM to 37, Capped out Myth, ran some more for Philo, pissed off a princess pug tank. Not bad for a low input weekend.

I got up to the lv 40 story quests, got whm to 39 and completed temple of qarn. Also got 2/4 of lightening fates completed.

I helped with Titan runs for one of my LSes Friday. Spent Saturday with the hubby. Sunday I capped my myth and started a new character that I leveled to 11 gladiator. Don't ask me why I wanted another character, I don't know.

Saturday:

>Got WAR to 36 and helped our WHM duo to 36 also.
>Did AK runs with SCH and got the Strategos gloves, feet and earring.
>Capped my Mtomes for the week.
>Killed Hydra, and killed Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan on my SCH back to back.

Last night (Sunday):

>Did an oldschool EXP party as WAR WHM MNK BLM (lvl 36-38 range) and EXP'd off of the level 49 Garleans near Wineport (that was FUN!)
>Somehow stayed awake to do FIVE Wanderer's Palace runs. Got our LS PLD his final DL piece, the heavy armor body/head, and got my 900 PTomes to pick up my Omnilex.
