Okay, so last night was an awesome party for once! After not even levelling once in the party we were in on Monday night, both Trisk and I were beginning to lose hope. Luckily, just as I was about to log after searching endlessly for a party in Kazham, a NIN sent me a tell asking me to party with him. We ended up in a very DD/Tank heavy party, with two NIN/WAR and three WAR/THF. We took a SCH/WHM with us and headed to Yhoator to kill the Mandies there. Trisk and I levelled to 28 with no problems, and swiftly hit 29 later. We lost one of the NIN later on, and replaced him with a BLM/WHM.
There was a lot of banter, which I rarely see in parties, so we both had a lot of fun. Going for 30 tonight, and then working on our extra job quests!
After talking to the pair of NIN last night, and another NIN on Monday, as well as one in last week’s party, I’ve decided to postpone NIN for a little bit. It’s too expensive, and there’s no way we’ll be able to afford that. I was beginning to feel rushed, because I would have to go out and grind Yagudos to gather the necklaces required for the fame needed to get Utsusemi, but at least if I postpone it that option’s open to me later.
So instead, I’m unlocking PLD at 30, and going to hopefully be an uber tank! Trisk is hoping to unlock SAM, but his quest sounds significantly harder than mine. If I decide to go NIN at a later date, then I’ll do so and see how much I like it then. I think I may unlock several subjobs while I’m at it, but it really depends on how easy it is. I think I’ll try and unlock NIN and DRK immediately, but I’m also going to order WotG and unlock DNC as soon as possible, because I’d really love to give DNC a go soon. It looks awesome!
I do have pics, but they’re on my home PC so I’ll add them when I get home from work.
As for crafting, I still want to do Cooking, but Kally ended up choosing it over Clothcraft, so we’d both be doing the same. I’ve already skilled it up, so it feels a waste to leave it now, so I think I’ll just take on another craft and keep Cooking up for fun. And money!
