Weekly Goals and Accomplishments 8/8/2014 -8/15/2014Follow

Happy Friday!

I hope your week has gone better than mine. I've been dealing with a lot of issues at work.... good thing XIV is fun (most of the time.)

So! What do I want to do?

1. Get Lancer and Pugilist to 15. They're the last of the classes I can't take in dungeons - they're both at 13 or so. I have so much resting bonus built up that I can do 4 leves and get a level, so it should go quickly.
2. Get enough hunt seals for another sand, maybe. I'd like to unweather my BLM hat.
3. Actually take a stab at turn 5 like I've been putting off for weeks.
4. Actually try Titan Ex again.

I'm iLvl 96 on my BLM and it's just a shame I have never managed to roll into a Titan Ex group that can clear.

Also! I've started a new chat-only linkshell on Lamia. I need to promote it some. I'm kind of wary about shouting, but I think that's the only way anything is going to happen.

We are the Grammarian Tea Party

1. I am two piecs of jewelry (one weathered ring and the unweathered earrings) away from capping blm as far as I can take it without coil. I have 1200 seals, so i have the 500 needed for the oil, so on Tuesday I will get the earrings and unweather them. Then once I cap soldiery for the week I will be a measly 20 soldiery away from buying the ring. Guess its gonna take two weeks, but not very much effort. Just a forced wait.

2. So as of now I have 2 mysterious treasure maps in my possession. Once finishing those I am 12 alexandrite away from novus completion. Sort of exciting. Except I am at the part where if I want any more accuracy or determination on the curtana novus I need to slot in IV's at a pretty low chance, and I don't think I can pysically take the heart attacks involved by throwing a 400k materia into a 50/50 shot. So I'm gonna pump a few accuracy into it to match my animus and cap the rest out on parry, which is definitely more important to a paladin than crit. I should finally have this novus by the middle of next week, and assuming I do a fair bit of hunting over the weekend, maybe sooner. Then I can finally use my myth to get relics and zeniths for my off classes, and buy crafting junk to sell.

3. Try to upgrade a few more pieces of my tank's weathered noct gear when I have the extra seals.

4. I guess I should try to level whm higher than 36 but it is just so dang hard to get the motivation to play a job I really dont like at all under any circumstances, lol.

5. I should try to invite a bunch of my favorite peoples into kat's linkshell, and attach it to my hunt target macro to keep them informed. Still bummed about losing 1/3 of our FC because we were used as a stepping stool for an entire group of rl friends, but it happens. Maybe we can get this linkshell going and get a few folks to join that way. Especially ones that are really good, but their FCs have them way too low on the totem pole.

I just beat Garuda story quest earlier this week. I hope to get the Garuda-Egi for my SMN. I hear lv.44-50 is pretty quick with the next dungeon, so maybe I can hit lv50. Then I want to hit lv26 with THM to get Swiftcast.

Hopefully I can at least hit 50.

Probably a busy weekend outside the game for me too, so likewise keeping it simple:

1) Cap soldiery and pick up seals with some epic hunt party sessions.
2) First run into Crystal Tower to clear the quest off my display.
3) Spend another week trying to get Atma of the Goat and failing.
4) If 3 doesn't discourage me from tasks that are never-ending failures, go for the Titantic Sawfish again.

Now that I'm 50, I got a lot of fun stuff to work on. Working on my relic currently. I'm at the part where you have to buy a bottle of something for 225 myth. Don't know how far in that is, but I think it's coming along nicely so far. Working on main scenario quests too. Currently in 2.2 quests. Other than that, I will work on fishing a bit too probably. Currently 25 on that.

Weekend Update



I have one oil all ready, I anticipate to get take ears from 90 to 110 on tuesday. Ring goes from 90 to 100 next week.



After much time and myths and pain and gil and help from Kat, Illsaide, Evebont, Jim, and others, I now have my Paladin novus sword and shield! I ended up putting something like 26 accuracy, 17 determination, and 10 parry. Works for me.



All my soldiery gear is unweathered now. Just need to save enough seals to unweather the piece I get each week. Caught up feels nice.



Failed, didn't touch whm.



Invited one dude. Good guy, but one guy.

Accomplished the former, as for the latter... well, I think I still have some (ok, a lot) of learning to do as far as healing 8-man groups goes (though admittedly, some of it was just plain People Don't Dodge)

It is a mystical alignment that must occur for a pug titan ex win.

I got a massive crapload of things done this week. I have no idea how.

* I gathered up my 1500 myth to start my Novus, and i'm 3/75 into it already.

* I leveled my Scholar and Summoner to level 50, and geared both of them up in full i90 already. Got some Titan books for both by tanking the HM a few times for people.

* I got a new pair of i110 legs for my Paladin.

* I gathered up 500,000 company seals and got the pretty looking Maelstrom achievement shield, a cute tiny little buckler i glamoured in.

* Capped my Soldiery (but yeah, not much of an achievement these days anymore)

* Redid all the hard-mode dungeons to unlock Friend #1's Hardmode Roulette.

* Redid all the expert-mode dungeons to unlock Friend #2's Expert Roulette since she just returned to the game after a hiatus.

* Introduced Friend #2 to hunts and killed stuff for the better of 7-8 hours.

* Helped friend #1 get some Atma's done.

* Made 99 HQ Pineapple Juice in my downtime (yay for food that makes me go over 8k HP)

* Cleaned out my retainers of old and irrelevant (non-glamour) gear. I had a lot of i55, i60, i70 and i80 gear. I had to toss some of them out, but most of them i got to turn in for seals. Got close to a whopping 32k seals from all of them.

* Oh yes, and got an UAT.

And last but certainly most impressive, i managed to watch Sharknado 2 without turning it off. Believe me, it was the hardest thing i've ever done. The cringe-factor in it was atleast 4 times as high as the previous one.
