Weekend Goals and Accomplishments 6/6 - 6/8Follow

Myth farming for Alexandrite. I honestly thought I'd never see bray again after getting my Animus but clearly that wasn't the case!

Also going to take advantage of the high materia prices at the moment and do some spiritbonding.

Spam Brayflox and Halatali and Lost City. They drop darklight and magician gear regularly, and then you can use the soldiery and myth to buy 90 or 100 gear. That's probably the easiest way for you to move up at this point

Fun fun, cause for personal accomplishment goals this weekend, I aim to get my first book to work on. And to do that, I'm likely doing CT, bad runs or not.

We're still trying on Turn 5. No progress really last night, but I also did not attend. Neither did my lady as she was visiting. We're in tonight's squad, however.

I had a similar experience with a healer that left to "find a tank that could tank"

I Pulled the first two groups in Halatali under the spiked balls (6-7 mobs total), then after those were dead, moved ahead, waited until the basilisk was down the ramp, dropped off the side of the bridge, grabbed the three at the end, dragged them back under the gate under the second spike ball to the last three. Again, 6 total enemies... I died because the healer couldnt figure out how to drop off the side and heal... I even held my own with hallowed, stoneskin, and sentinal for about a minute.

These guys with 4.2k hp can heal me in Brayflox with 9+ mobs... why not Halatali? Anyway, he left, we got a new healer a bit later, who was new to Halatali. I walked him through it and we beat it easily.

Goal 1: We need 500k more gil to have our pick of any FC small house plot. I currently have about 200k in stuff pending on the AH, and another FC crafter will be chipping in 200k this weekend. I need another 100k in stuff sold by Monday. I'm thinking HQ Buttons by the boatload.

Goal 2: Get the whole FC together and go pick us out a plot in Mist!

Goal 3 (not likely, but if I have some time): BTN 39>41 and CRP 25>30+.

1. Completed book 4 and got book 5
2. Got the levequests and two groups of enemies out of the way in book 5. Cringed at the FATEs and got discouraged (one is a four hour respawn in East Shroud...)
3. Decided to work on upgrading the leatherworker to saurian proportions. That meant crafting hq stuff and setting patricians aside for a bit. I dumped as much materia as I could into it and still just got up to 370 craftsmanship. Man. I suppose now I need to craft 50 of the leather straps so I can buy the artisan's tool. Gonna need a lot of hq hyppogryph skins and mahi mahi food...
4. Soldiery capped. Bought tank pants. Ugh. Immediately glamoured to bohemian pants, the ulimate pants, complete with hanging towel to dry your hands.
5. Apparantly all there is to unlock is the sightseeing quests, since I dont have completed animus yet.
6. Aquired one more glazenut seed over the weekend. Planted as usual.

You can give your FSH the AF weapon, and then buy another from the Calamaty Scavenger.

Welp, had a major fail and major success.

Siren's food market is totally FRAGGED right now. Some jackass (all the same 3 retainers) had flooded the market with hugely undercut high level HQ food. Dagger Soup was 4k. The guy had 60 of them up for 2k this morning. La Noscean Toast was 3800, he's got em up for 1700. Same guy has a pile of Buttons in a Blanket up, and some Stuffed Cabbage too, all ~2k below the normal rate. Of my "200k" in food I didn't sell a single damned piece in three days. By the time you figure in shards he's selling the stuff below cost, and he just keeps putting more up as it sells (or I'd buy him out and relist). It's like he's trying to kill the market on purpose.

So I made jack-**** nuthin' for House gil.

Thus jimmyrustled, I decided to make the best of it and get to work on CRP. I dinged level 50 at about 10pm, with a single leve allowance left to my name! So many HQ Walnut Macahuitls and HQ Yew Bows, I'll be seeing them in my dreams. But I have Byregot's Blessing and that's all that matters! Also dinged Botanist to 41 farming me up about 60 tons of HQ Walnut Logs. As soon as my crafting nemesis retires, I'm gonna make bank. Byregot's is the Swiftcast of the crafting classes. It's annoying to get, but my lord is it ever brokenly good!

To describe it to those who don't have it yet: What Byregot's means is that if you have 7 stacks of Inner Quiet, and at least 13% on your HQ chance, using Great Strides and then Byregot's Blessing will guarantee you 100% HQ in a single move on every single normal item. One-Stars need 17% and 8 stacks, IIRC. I can now HQ every stonkin normal food I make, 100% of the time, with a 0% chance of failure.
