Ead and I decided not to join in the CoP missioning this weekend, and I'm really glad we made that choice. I really, really didn't want to, I'm not interested in getting Sea at all, I really wasn't ready, and did I mention I really didn't want to? It was a good chance to get it done (which is why I agreed to begin with), but see that whole 'I really didn't feel like it' thing. And the whole 'I'm in no rush' and 'I really don't care about Sea' things, too. Yeah, I know there are good things in Sea, but ... I don't care. :P

I was worried my whole "go back to XPing DRK" plan would fail. I had my flag up four hours yesterday and got no invites, then five hours today... then I finally got one! Yay! And the party went amazingly well, too. NIN, NIN, BRD, RNG, SMN, me. We went to Moon and then to Sky. Sky was quite amazing (XP-wise at least). We rarely broke 200/kill, but we were killing so fast it didn't matter. I died once and had to accept a R1, but even with that we made about 21K in about three hours. (I generally make about 2K/hour, so that's really really outstanding for me.) I'm @6,500 to 73! Eek! That means maybe in one party I could level! Eee!

I also broke my damage record (plain WS, no SE or LR):

Happy happy DRK! And I got to use my GS the whole time, too! I got just over 10 levels on it, bringing it to 252 -- high enough to start questing for Ground Strike and high enough that it's nearly matching scythe's 259! It's such a sexy weapon. :) (Unlike the sword of trials, which is plain and boring and ugly.)

For some odd reason I did some quests today. I never do quests, but I had time and wanted to do some relaxing stuff, so I did some. I did the last one before the op-opo crown quest (wander the Jungle and find three blue flowers) and that dip-a-lens-in-a-pond fortune telling one in Jeuno.

I had too many beastman seals, so I burned some in my usual way: Doing that Treasures and Tribulations (pick one out of three chests) BC. How embarrassing. It couldn't have at least been the big box? (I did that on WHM, of course. Not about to have a meaningless DRK death!)

I finished the night with a little farming, and this scene amused me. I don't just kill mobs, I literally walk all over them!

If you'll notice in that screenshot, two of my three hits were crits. Very oddly, I find I'm critting a lot more. My armor hasn't changed in a long time, so I'm not sure why that would increase. Do they increase with your weapon skill?

And lastly, this had me giggling:

*shakes fist* Darned bunnies!
