Weekend Accomplishment Thread (Jan 13)Follow

How was your weekend in Eorzea?

Took Fisher to 50 and got Master of Land title.
Beat Titan HM for my relic quest.
Got trapped in Praetorium on Story Roulette (which would have taken me to 900 Tomes) and couldn't move, even after logging out and logging in so had to leave Duty to free myself which gave me a 30 minute penalty. Got pissed off, logged out and watched Sherlock.
All in all, good start to weekend, bad finish.
Meh.

Garuda EM
Ultima HM
Coil T4
ilvl 80 on scholar
Productive weekend, got some very decent pugs :-)

WHM 49--> 50
Finished WHM story and have my AF to get me through til I pick up enough tomes for stuffers.
Finished the main storyline. Sat through 30 minutes of credits, found Cat Who under Meteor Survivors. Hooray.

Also WVR 41-43. The economy continues to deflate and selling anything feels like an exercise in futility.

My main money maker continues to be materia. My new goal is melding out all my crafter AF... cuz reasons. I'm capped on CP for all of them, so I just peddle those and use the income to buy extra +craftsmanship since that's the only materia I overmeld. I finished melding BSM so now I'm 4/8 total with only 4 melds (2 contol slot melds and 2 craftsmanship overmelds) left on LTW to get me to 5/8. That will leave CUL, ASM, CRP :)

Otherwise, got my i80 crown for WHM which makes 2 pieces of that.
Beat Titan HM, Thyrus Zenith in hand!!!!!!!! FYI: Zam FC is teh shizzle as there were 4 of us in the party that needed the clear.
Did Roulette and grabbed some maps otherwise. So now I'm working on i90 tomes after I spent just about all of them on my Zenith.

Unlocked King Moogle also but haven't tried him yet.

At this point it's not even that too many people are making stuff. It's just that nobody is buying. The game itself gears you up well enough from dungeons and quests that you don't really need to buy gear - the only folks that bother are the min-maxers, and they're already at endgame. I've been working the HQ market since I've got a good enough crafting rotation to make HQs as I level up, but even that's slow (and that's also where most of my competition is.)

Despite this, I finally broke 200K gil. Being able to make my own HQ crafting gear now will help me a lot as I level up the other DoH jobs.

*Beat Titan HM in a PF group, got beat out of a Bow of Crags by a Bard who already had an Artemis Bow.
*Started Relic Bow quest immediately afterwards, finishing the quest last night after one more round with the big rock, a romp through Castrum Meridianum, and a run through the Labyrinth as a tank.
*Crafted various items that will hopefully net some gil.
*Tanked Turn 1 in the Coil with the LS. ADS eventually went down but Caduceus frustrated us every time when it split up.

This was a pretty busy weekend for me, and it started way back on Thursday. I had the day off and nothing to do until 2 pm.. I woke up, and logged into a CT run that was forming. I jumped in decided to give it a whirl. Cleared CT with no problems and got PLD gloves from the first boss. The tomes i earned gave me enough to buy DL wrists, bring my PLD ilevel up to 60. About 9 more VIT and I can give Titan HM a try for my relic.

Once CT was cleared, I got my BTN up to 21, then went and unlocked FSH. And boy did I enjoy that. By the time I logged off last night, FSH was up to 46.

Ouch, yeah a couple of people here in my area (Charlotte, NC) also had busted pipes and broken water heaters... that was a bad cold front last week...

We normally dont go into sub-zero temps this far south.

-I unlocked BLM
-I got Eye for an Eye from SCH (last cross skill I need for WHM)
-I had a birthday, and dinged 36

Hmm, let me recall...

-Downloaded and watched Walking Dead Season 3 and 4 (up until current). Good show!

-Got ACN to level 44. I am getting a level a day now (approximately) by working on hunt log, joining one instaqueue low level duty roulette, one instaqueue levequest duty roulette, and doing all six allotted beastman quests (the sylphs open at level 42 and the lizard guys at 43). I fill in the gaps with battle leves and the occasional FATE I run across.

-Saturday night, Jy, one of our FC's Extreme Primal and Twintania gurus, invited me to a Titan EX group. On the fifth try we downed it. And, in all style, I finished it for the first time exactly the same way I first finished both Titan normal and Titan HM... on my back... dead... 50 feet down... in or very close to... hot lava. After the first set of adds were killed, Titan threw a landslide that did not show animation on my screen (I have resorted to watching the cast bar now due to our recent latency discussion on ZAM forum). I attempted to move with the others to compensate for not seeing the animation. And as I am beginning my fall to the floor, after the damage and push had occurred, I finally see the animation... But as I am lying on the ground, I start to think, wow, no one is dying, I'll get myself a drink. I come back to find they had beat it. The same group then went on to beat Garuda 2nd try (someone killed spiny with 10% health left), but wiped on the third set of nails on Ifrit HM, so all in all not a bad run. Almost done, although I am sad that my "soon to be mine" Elder Rod will not glow.

-Acquired my Paladin Relic Set! On Friday my FC folks (Duma, Valefor, Corwynt, Dart, and Don) got me a second try Titan kill (first was my fault for taking a bomb and a buster simultaneously). Only the second time I tanked titan TM (both were in that group) so not bad I'd say (for not knowing what the heck I was doing).

You get it in the 30s I think, and it basically is a buff you put on someone that whenever an enemy hits them, it has a small chance of putting a debuff on that enemy that will reduce its strength.

Its not totally necessary, but another buff to cast on the tank if you are a whm.

- Farmed Ultima for the drop, manage to get them all on my 3 job (pld, brd and whm) both neck and ring. That fight is fun. I suggest it to any level 50 player :)
- Leveled goldsmith from 25 to 32 with pure grinding. I had a whole lot of raw stone from early mining day that was too cheap to be worth selling. So I made gems of all of this and now trying to sell them slowly to not crash more the price on the MB.
- Cleared BC T4 for the first time ever with my static, after a good 3 hours of trying on Sunday evening. (Didn't get any drop but at that point, I was just happy to have won). Tried Turn 5 just to see it, it's HARD.
- Got the official item that prove that need to get a life: Pickaxe of the luminary.
