I am 1/12 on Moldavite Earring after getting the drop Saturday (Full Moon, 98%, Windsday). I'm now trying to save up gil to buy more impressive gear to go with my newly acquired earring and lvls.
I hit 70 the other day and took on Maat (Firesday, New Moon, 10%) using Flare, Firaga III, and Fire III.
Our friend Kelton recently came back into the game and since then I've been pushing myself to get to 75. I've felt kind of gimp since he is a 75 PLD and he's usually the person I hang out with ig the most. It sucks when you know you're the asshole attracting mobs like a death magnet while your friends try to save your ass, or have to wait on you while you sneak/invis. He's always fun to hang out with, since we bull??? around a lot, but it would be @%#%ing sweet if we could do HL stuff together!
I've recently slowed down on cooking, because I have no gil, but I realized I'm close to Crimson Jelly, which is great because I do Manaburns now, and I can usually get a few drops going to Bibiki Bay for the most expensive ingredient.
I'll have to jot down my BLM/Maat strategy as Kansmofo has done for RDM.
Shout outs to Chakan and Kelton for the /assist on Mysticmaker Profblix, thanks!
