Third log~  a few things happened to me that were great in my eyes.  Over the course of time from my last log to this one, I managed to get N. Feet (not too worried about uncursing this yet), an Optical Hat (greatly benefits my DRG and BLU jobs), got more merit points (with the 'busy schedule' on FFXI, I was finally able to stop and merit for once), and..  even got a WightSlayer off the 3rd floor.  I'm still new to Nyzul, and already I got the weapon you usually get off Floor 100 >.>  Which leads me to a new topic.

Mythic Weapons.  They are really awesome, and I would LOVE to go at it and try to unlock Tizona, but after reading everything you need..  that's just WAY too much time and a LOT of effort.  I mean, you'd think the relic weapons took a lot of time, but no~  Mythic weapons take just as long.  You literally have to do devote so much time..  and not just to one thing.. MANY things.  Einherjer, Salvage, the killing of the beastmen leaders in the AU areas, 30k Alexandrite farming (or buying), among other things.  To be honest, I feel a bit too discouraged to even TRY for a Tizona.  Sure, I can unlock the weaponskill and spend less time doing that than getting Tizona..  but, I don't know.  I just feel as though I'm being taunted by SE.

In other news, I was promoted to a Dyna Leader in our end-game branch.  Exciting, sort of, but I enjoy it.  Being a Main Assist sure beats the hell out of just standing still waiting for orders.  Rather, I'm the one beating the crap out of things and giving orders.  8)

The story of my O. Hat?  One of my social officers, Kilic, who pretty much spoils me whenever he wants something (kind of like..  you do this for me, I'll get you this), told me he wanted to really get an O. Hat for himself, and that if I arranged a run, he'd buy me clusters to get my own.  So I was like, "why the hell not, apparently I need it too because BLU and DRG both greatly benefit from it", and thus I organized a pick-up-group run (PUG).  Got a total of 10 people..  9 in which who needed it, 1 in which was helping.  Well, we got there, spent a good I dunno, 4.5 hours farming?  In the middle of it, another party tried to come and interfere with our run (they wanted O. Hats too), but left out of courtousey (spelling?).  I didn't get mine until the 5th spawn, but that's okay.  But uh, as we got to the last one..  two people fell asleep.  We waited about 30 minutes before deciding to attempt to 8-man Hakutaku and..  after getting it to 10% HP, we died.  It made me really upset because this person who had to go last out of everyone, ended up not getting his O. Hat.  If we had just ONE of those people come back, we would've done just fine.  2 WHM, one of them fell asleep..  when it came down to it, we just simply had no more MP.  The other guy who fell asleep was a SAM.  Another DD would've helped just as much.  But, it wasa no-go.  That guy lost his pop item and a lot of us couldn't help but feel crappy.  Fortunately, he managed to farm the eyes with a few of our help and get his the next day with some friends of his.  =D

So I heard a story.  A PUG for Under Observation, BCNM40..  A friend of mine was in the trio, and well..  when it was his turn, PCC dropped for him!  Yay!  But then the leader booted him from the party and stole it..  Shitty, right?  One of the most effed-up things you could do, and this person did it.  And you know what sucks?  Not only did the person choose to STAY on the server rather than server hopping, they wear the PCC 'proudly' like they are king.  Makes me never want to do a PUG for things like that..  can't trust anyone.  What's even worse is, this person was in their social shell.  As a result, that person got kicked, but..  still exists u_u

Oh hey, the update~  My turn to talk about the update.  I love it.  Plain and simple.  Level Sync is awesome, and allows you to further help newbies and friends, etc etc.  Want to hang out with friends but they're trying to lvl up their main job/subjob or whatever?  Grats, you can jump in the fray, sync down~  And boom, you get exp or merit points.  I was with 4 friends from my end-game shell, helping their friend (who we all synced with) lvl up their BLU job.  We were in Lower Delkfutt's Tower roaming around, making 4.6k an hour.  The BLU got nearly 2 lvls in an hour, and that's pretty good considering she wasn't supposed to really be there, nor were we.  XD  Needless to say, Level Syncing is really fun in my opinion, and I find it to be a really great addition to FFXI.  All of the other neat stuff in this update?  I have absolutley nothing negative to say about it~  And that's that!

Anyway, lastly~  In the real world..  I finally got my driving permit.  Yeah, I know.  I'm 21, no license..  who cares, right?  Good, because I get my license in two weeks, and I really have no shame in never having gotten credentials until just now.  Why am I sharing this?  Because it's an accomplishment~
