This weekend, I got Dragoon from 87 to 90 and Warrior from 80 to 90.

Apparently I like Mudkipz according to Usagi. I need to get together with him in game in the next few days. Usagi has no zone boss clears or caturae kills. I should be able to solo Sedna for him on BST and also can maybe help him get some atma. Another good focus would be merit abyssite which increases HP/MP quite a bit.

I'll send you a /tell in game tomorrow if you're on and we can get working on making you awesome awesomer.

Edit: I'm typically on from 5:30PM-??? CST.

Yeah I started working towards my Bedlam +2 but I really hate WoE and haven't gotten any coins at all. I think I'm going to stop the trial and go for Armegeddon instead. I just need to find some suckers help getting the gems from Carabosse. Croin should be a piece of cake and I can solo on BLM if necessary.

I never did swap my Suppa for a Bushinomimi (or w/e the **** it was called).

Profound sadness.

GRAHH!!! WHY IS THE GAME DOWN? I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT PLAYING ALL DAY. IT'S WHAT GOT ME THROUGH THE WORK DAY.

**********************

What in **** sakes are they talking about?

Each notorious monster in abyssea can be triggered one of three ways: red, blue, yellow (grellow it's called by some, because it looks greenish-yellow). Each trigger is completed by a particular special action. Blue and red are triggered by particular weapon skills. Yellow is triggered by a particular magic spell: BLM, BLU, BRD, NIN. Each trigger effects something relating to a drop. Yellow increases the likelihood of AF3 items. Blue increases the normal items (weapons, armor, items) and Red increases the likelihood of a key item to pop another NM or atma/abyssite.

To sum it up: TRIGGERS R GUD!

The reason BLM/BRD is mentioned specifically is because BLM already can trigger quite a few but each trigger has a corresponding reason for appearing. Yellow specifically is affected by the day of the week before, during and after you pop the NM. Popping on Iceday will ensure the trigger is wind, ice, or lightning. So therefore BLM can trigger with Thunder, blizzard, aero III/IV. Thundaga, aeroga, blizzaga III, and burst, freeze, and tornado. By subbing BRD, it also allows the possibility of the one trigger from the job, increasing the possiblity of triggering by three: Water, earth, and wind threnody.

Read 'em, learn 'em, live 'em, love 'em.

Wee! Got SAM from 40-43 over the course of last night and tonight.

Word on the street is that Abyssea killed DRK.

In Abyssea? Just DD on NIN. If you are anticipating life after Abyssea, level SAM. SE will never nerf or fail to buff SAM so that it ends up near the bottom of the DD pile. You'll always be able to hang around at or near the top.

has DRK ever been considered "good"?

I am not one of those people who rate jobs or likes that snobbery or anything - but I just can't remember a time or event that DRK was considered top tier... am I wrong/missing something?

I think DRK kind of got forgotten about, but it was always "good," just never top DD, unless KC zerg or an Apoc wielder. And in the case of Apoc, the wielder had to not be a ******** about gear. In any case, it wasn't far enough behind the other DD jobs to be disregarded for events, IMO.

But as for playerbase perception, you're right. It never had it's heyday like BLM RNG or SAM.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to add to my repertoire though. I already have jobs I enjoy and friends I enjoy playing with. However, I also get enjoyment from being able to help those friends out in various situations, so I want to be as useful as possible to them. And since my playtime is limited, I don't want to waste it by leveling a job that isn't going to be as useful as something else.
