Weekly Goals and Accomplishments 4/24 - 4/30Follow

#1 Apr 24 2015 at 10:02 AM Rating: Excellent
It's the last full week of April. Heavensward clock is ticking!

What do you want to do?

I've decided to pause my WAR relic and do SCH instead for Heavensward. I'm in the Alex phase and wisely did not start the upgrade process yet (25/75) so if I push push PUUUUSH I can do a book a day on SCH and catch up fast.

So:

- Continue daily alex maps (25/75)
- Get all 11 remaining atma for SCH's next phase
- Stockpile soldiery
- Start books!

Also:
- NIN to 45 (got it to 40 last night)
- Get SCH to iLvl 125
- Get the heck over myself and try Turn 5 again, probably on WAR of all things

The main thing: Get my -ing SCH Zodiac finished (only one more drop to go, but Qarn HM is being a royal pain in the b- uh, behind)

One of the two co-founders of my FC has returned and resumed his Master Position, but had to leave the game before starting on Ninja, so the goals are to help catch him up while on the class and the story-line.

Meanwhile for myself, I still have the Demons maiming pants to get for Lin's Glamour, Hunts Gear for Glamour on her, and then working on her spear.

Other characters are on the back burner as I warm back up to the game.

Goals for Next Week:

1. I'm 20 poetics away from the blm 130 coat. I'll get that tonight.

2. Still fighting with Tataru for the Lightning ante. 187 / 300 wins now towards Vaan. If I get Vaan before Lightning I am going to barbecue a Tataru.

3. Next week I'll probably grab another twine from towers (I'm just a WoD shy from this week's twine) and save the poetics for blm pants. Maybe. I dunno.

4. Got the Garuda pony last night, so considering I have the titan one already, Kirin is actually an attainable goal. I may join some levi/shiva/ramuh/ifrit farms if I get around to it. I dread Ramuh. Even in pf, it is as full of derps as T5.

5. I spent about 3 million outfitting my gatherers in the new lvl 60 gear last night. Might check in to what it takes to upgrade their tools and get the forager's hat. Fishing sounds like a fun thing to do until heavensward. Channeling my inner Wint.

6. All the FCOB fails lately have just left me wary of wasting my time... I'll just wait until zero gets up there and join him in whatever he's doing. His T5 groups on his new guy are going amazingly bad, so I hear, so I think I have some time...

Just finished that this morning. The Last Resort GET!

So, new goal: lights for Zeta

I had given up on T5 clear but Valk and Dark Bizzo dragged me in as off tank. And I was dead, but they lived. And we cleared.

Our very lucky DPS pickup got his T5 clear on his very first try, so he's now going to be one of those "oh T5 was easy" people.

1. Blm coat 130 obtained.

2. Oh Tataru... Think im at 200 wins now.

5. My inner Wint was channeled. In 1 day I managed to fish up 3 olgai-khokori (or whatever they are called) from the sagoli dunes during heat wave, using the ilvl 55 AF rod (and maxed foragers gear (but still had AF hat)) with spinach quiche HQ and FC gathering buffs. So I got Supra Rod and completely skipped the forager's quest. Woot.

6a. Got Kat, Dark Bizzo, Zero, Piuriu, Jim, Dolanicus, and myself all together this weekend and did a little FC T5 pow wow. Took it down in two tries. Main tanked it for the first time. TIL that MT gets targeted by twisters. That actually makes a lot of sense why my pugs would fail from random MT death at that point (and the cause of our first wipe). Tanks inherently don't move out of danger all that well. We would rather pop a cd.

6b. Downed t11 right after that in a farm group. Got a carboncoat. Not bad at all.

To my extreme annoyance, maintenance last night hit right in my prime time, about 30 minutes after I was going to log on and spend a bunch of hours on Waenlona. Not one single thing I could do for her in that time, so fished one treasure map and crafted on Verdha instead, rebuilding her sales inventory.

But Verdha's progressing nicely, nevertheless. Waenlona is leaping forward making massive progress, cleared Chimera and Hydra towards relic, upping item level with Soldiery, and I'm learning a ton about playing SCH at a pretty darned good skill level (even if I do say so myself). I still can't play SCH well on Verdha and I can't play WHM at all well on Waenlona, which I'm finding really weird but is a fascinating insight into how much I get into character in RPGs.

((And Exodus is Turk???? Really? OMFG... Smiley: rolleyes ))

Certain events that I thought were gonna happen did not happen, leading to one easily obtainable goal: Transfer back to Lamia.

Yeah, with full Forager's gear, you can skip the Forager's tools and go straight to Supra. That's what I did with the Axe. I already had the Pick and Pole before I dumped the money into the gear though, so I only got to skip one. Right now I'm very slowly working on the 99 HQ Redolent logs for Lucis Axe. I'm a long way off and those HQs can be a ***** some days. I'm hoping to finish it before Heavensward, but I'm not sure if I will or not. I've already got the Pick, and the the Pole isn't likely to happen. The fishing shouldn't be too bad, but I won't have the time to get the other stuff.

Working on the rest of my Lucis at the moment .. I have not been getting on much because the moonstone grind is horrible.. MY goal was to get 1/2 the lucis and Tesee get the other 1/2 but I am not sure we are going to make it.


Actually thinking of re-subbing for FFXI for the last year too see how it all ends. Maybe holding off buying Heavensward till I get some indication from people if the expansion is worth it and adds anything new in the way of gameplay.. I know the story will be good but if it offers nothing in the way of new gameplay. Interesting to see how crafting will change though and sounds significant but it seems allot of people are very unhappy about it.

I have a couple friends on another FFXIV server from my FFXI LS who are thinking the same thing. This game is so easy to catch up in anyway.

Just a hard decision when you are so far into it and have been playing from day one and through Beta.

Nothing official decision yet though.

What happened to Wint? He lost his contract was over or something like that and no longer posts at all?
I think he is on my server but I never see him but then again I dont remember his user name in game.
I see his FC around and have gotten a invite or two from them.
Tesee and I still have not picked a FC since leaving Zam (Kraken club) FC.
What is funny is all of them we were considering are pretty much dead now...

His character is Keyser Soze. He still plays (last achievement 4/24/15) but doesn't post anymore Smiley: frown You probably got an invite because his FC has a "The Kraken Club" rank. I suppose that is for former members.

Oh and I've been trying to catch gigant clam HQ for days now (for lucis). I have 18 regular and 0 HQ. I think I keep losing the HQ, or maybe I'm just unlucky, but it is bloodshore from 11pm - 2am with heavy steel jig. Very small window. Maybe I should go catch the 10 whatever they are called in LLN and get my forager's hat first...

And like Kat says, get $40 and feel like Lamia is in your future, we could use you both, and since I know you, I'll start you high. All the privileges. Good folks there, you would like it.

I haven't posted in a while (mostly due to not having many goals currently). So, I thought I come in at the end of the month and just make a few remarks. :O

So, things of note this month:

I have 72 triad cards now. Only Nanamo and a few silver 5* cards left now. (out of the 7 platinum packs I've received, all were the three that I already had...)
FSH 35 (if you've been keeping track, you know this is a big deal for me)
BRD/WHM/PLD all i120 now. (Now to pick one to take to i130 before the expansion.)
Finally on T9 (I had been stuck on T5 forever, but my FC decided to form a group and we have been making steady progress)
Caved and got the non-crafted artisan's gear. It really helps.


Goals this week:
Finalize script and screenplay (?) of the video I'm working on. (idk if I've ever put a link to any of the videos I've mentioned in the past)
Acquire Artisan main and offhands for CRP. (I already have BSM at this point)
FSH40 (maybe? you know me)
Beat T9.
One of my three mains at i122
73 cards in my list

Except for FSH, I think I can manage those goals. I only need ~90 more roulette wins to get Vaan (and I can beat Rowena consistently). I am still super addicted to Triple Triad. It's mostly why I haven't updated in a while. I don't think anyone wants to track my card acquisition every week. :D

30/75 Alex, slowed down this week alas
- LOL no atma here, didn't have time
- Stockpiled soldiery then promptly got my DRG to iLvl 100 because reasons
- Did not start books because no atma
- NIN TO 45 YES
- SCH is iLvl 124... so close.
- CLEARED TURN 5

Since I accomplished the two hardest things on the list, I'm okay with this.

PLD to 50 (i93 out of the box. Somehow I never found any tank gloves, ever). Just WAR left.

ALC to 50 (3/8 crafts).

Much face bashing against turn 10 learning parties. None of them could clear it though.

The Kraken club rank? What is that?

Edit:
Missed the invite and it is appreciated.. Your FC sounds really cool too but with a house it is hard to transfer. If it were not for the house I would be for sure.

It's a rank that occasionally attacks 2 - 8 times.

Wint is not part of ZAM (Kraken club FC)

He is in LWDF

I was in ZAM fc from the beginning of the game and left.

I am confused I guess.
