Tonight was Trisk and Ali’s first time on an Airship! You couldn’t half tell we were excited and new to it all, since we kept running from one side of the ship to the other to see what was on each side and below us. I was really impressed with the view to be honest. It was exciting, especially since we kind of didn’t have the gil for a map of the Jungle, but oh well. It was hardly needed.
We got to Kazham and had to spend about an hour waiting for a party, but eventually gathered a RDM and a RNG and asked a NIN to come over from Jeuno. It took him some time, and eventually we all got together and went down to camp on a ramp in the Jungle. Mandies were good EXP, but tough to take without a WHM, so we jumped at the chance to take one. Before she got there, though, our RNG disconnected and never came back, so we got another! Our NIN was a bit silly…he didn’t Provoke every 30 seconds so he lost hate quite a lot, and I had to alt-tank more frequently than I normally would. I don’t mind, but it also annoyed me that he didn’t have a Macro to say when he was Provoking and when his Provoke was ready. The lack of communication meant I Provoked to save our WHM a few times when he could’ve just as easily gotten the hate back. Then he got a bit lazy…He cast Utsusemi often enough, but he just stopped Provoking altogether at one point.
We did however get two levels in about two hours, which could’ve been worse. We would’ve done better if it hadn’t been for those meddling kids several other parties stealing spawns! But reaching 27 was nice, and tomorrow we’re going to try and get at least another level or two before Trisk has to go to work. Thirty by the end of the weekend we hope!
Can’t wait to move to Fenrir, a static will be godly. I’ve reconsidered job allocation. Rinion will be taking WHM, Kally taking BRD and Trisk taking SAM. I was going to go WHM but if we already have a healer and a BRD, a tank would be more useful. NIN is definitely going to be where I go late game, and I want it to be my main job, but I think it’d be nice to take PLD for a spin. The quest looks like it might take a while since I have to do a few others first…but that’s okay. I’ve also considered DRG and RNG thanks to Kally, but we’ll see.
So following in her little kitty footprints, I’d like to say my goals for April are:
- Get AzureStorm’s strength up
- Get Sandy Rank 2 since I’ve been lazy to date with Rank Missions
- Reach 30 WAR and get PLD, DRG, RNG and/or NIN quests done
Here’s hoping I can do it!
