Lets see, no coil this weekend for me, so...
Who would think that the week I don't have coil I would down T9
My static's healer was in an FC pug, brought me along, and we two shot it at like 1 am on Sunday morning. I passed on the blm staff and monk coat out of respect. Man am I glad that's over with. Oddly enough, I feel like I could farm it now...

1. Finish capping poetics and get my bard ring. Already got the bard boots. Chest is not BiS for grabbing early on, but will eventually be BiS once I can upgrade to ilvl 130. Final coil legs are BiS over poetic legs, so I'll save those for last as well. After ring is belt, then neck and bracelets.
Got boots and ring now. Decided 2 million for the Kirimu hat + 250k to meld accuracy into it for BiS over the 120 poetics bard hat wasn't really worth it for the equivalent of ~3 dex. Decided to save my money until the hat is cheaper on our server (if that ever happens). The way the numbers are working their way out, I think I will get the necklace Tuesday instead of the belt, we will see.

2. With that out of the way, keep leveling the ninja. At 41 as of this morning. Still a long road, but getting closer.
Ninja to 50. And Got lucky in a few ST runs, plus I had some savings, so I geared the left side, added my bards accessories on the right, and it is sitting at ilvl 109. I feel like I do beastly damage, but I haven't been parsed so I'm not sure. My only problem is that there are 5 total DoTs that you can apply, one is the persistent AoE Doton from the Jin Ten Chi Mudra combo, the other is Mutilate, two more are Dancing Edge and Shadow Fang which are 2 and 3 combo presses. It can get hectic keeping them all up, and if that is what you want to do, it is all you will be doing, lol. In addition to the DoTs, you need to balance poisons depending on if you want to stun or silence with jugulate, and you have a very powerful combination in the Huton > Kassatu > Suiton > Trick Attack move, which I have crit for about 1.7k with at its best. Then you have mug and assassinate, which I just rolled into a combo off my Spinning edge starter very similar to how I roll together Heavy Shot, Misery's End, and Bloodletter on my bard. That way I dont have to think about it, but can become a problem occasionally since assassinate animate locks you for a second. The aoe in Doton, Death Blossom, and Katon are pretty powerful, and when combined with invigorate + Goad on your ninja friend (if there are two) to restore lost tp, you can keep it up for a while. There are a lot of possibilities, and I am having trouble keeping up with them all on a controller. I sometimes have some trouble getting out of aoe for trying to keep up my DoTs, but with the increased run speed it is not too bad. Sorry for the rant, just wanted to share my experiences.

3. Continue to build light. Focus on ST this weekend with my tank so I can pick up sands. At 895 / 2000 light. Slug speed.
932 / 2000 super slug speed. With all the ninja leveling, didn't get much in on my tank other than a few ST. That should pick back up now that the ninja is leveled.

4. Maybe join up a shiva ex farm if I'm lucky. All that stuff on Lamia is reserved for these little niche groups isolated in their own little worlds, but one can dream.
No shiva this weekend. Was occupied with a ton of other stuff unfortunately and really never saw any groups that were posting when I was looking.
