This is getting old...

Yeah, yeah... I know... I'm not keeping up with the news. Heck, where was I last time?

*checks*

Damn.... There's plenty of stuff needing mentionned. Like how we prevented an all-out war with the middle-eastern kingdom of Aht Urghan, and destruction of the world by the Crystal Seed. Yeah, this whole "Save Vana'diel" thing needs to stop from time to time.

Currently, plenty is going on. Foremost, Snuggleh's training is mostly done with, now he falls into perfectionism mode. He needs to cap his skills, merit them fully, and get missing pieces of gear. While he does that, I'm training myself on my first love job, Ranger. ...Yeah yeah, some would say I'm leeching off him, but hey, my damage output is actually catching up to his, and quite rapidly at that. And I must have went through about 20 stacks of Scorpion Arrows, so no saying I'm doing nothing!

Otherwise, activities outside of the Ro'Maeve grind include Assaults, Salvage and Dynamis. Assaults are now seen mostly as a formality, as our static already attained Captain rank amongst Salaheem's Sentinels.

Salvage is done for the gear, but such proceedings are taking their darn time. Charriot bosses are being a bit skimpy on the desired drops as of late, not to mention Bhaflau's abyssmal drops from the Astral Gate NMs (given if they do show up.) We do have a good static for that activity, hopefully we'll still be sticking together even after we get our first one or two pieces of desired gear.

And Dynamis? Ooooh-ho-ho-ho! I need to be careful with that one! My sense of self-importance is starting to inflate quite rapidly. I still need to start documenting how I'm doing the pulls in those areas. I might be a fast learner, but sometimes I have to learn from doing things the wrong way... Painful thing.

One thing I'm disappointed about Dynamis is the lack of other pullers in our current team. I'm always elected by default for the nights I do am available. So much for leveling my Black Mage, I thought I'd have fun nuking stones and running around like a headless chicken when slept mobs go mad. Well, Bootymaster's getting that fun now. And knowing that Waddles is also on that team... yeah, sometimes I gawk at how awesome Black Mages can be in Dynamis.

I've done my first Dyna-Beaucedine, and we got the win there with a team of 18 people. That time, I got lucky and Zoar was assigned for the final pull. Next time I'm the one who has to run all across the zone with four dragons in tow. We barely made it too, Angra Mainyu died with only 30 seconds left to our Timeless Hourglass. That Chainspell Death thing? ...not a pretty sight, especially with a skeleton crew.

I also pulled my first San d'Oria. ...really, that was my first! All those other times, I came around as a Bard, for those few moments we had to deal with those pesky Hecteyes pets. Now that zone is much trickier than it first appeared to me. Right off the bat, one of the pulls brought along quite a number of statues. Now I know why we sometimes went the long way around near the residential area.

So... kinda getting late, got some paperwork that needs be filed for my adventuring permit. I know this is more than likely an empty promise, but I'll try to keep on the ball with updating my blog. I mean, we are trying to save the world yet again from Dr. Shantotto's newly revealed evil wrath. ...and to think I used to like her brand of evil genius...
