Running late, as is becoming too usual. Back to work on Tuesday, which means I really need to be getting offline on time and to bed at a "normal" (for working life) hour.

Sunday is NPC day -- fun in the dungeon day. Draque and Aurian (and their NPCs) joined us, and we killed bats, leeches, undead doggies, and ghosts for many hours. D&A's NPCs leveled multiple times (they were very low level) and the rest of ours dinged once. Gunnar hit 62! Yay!

The nice thing about XPing NPCs is that I get XP, too. Okay, only 3-17 XP per kill, but hey. It all adds up!



Woo woo! DRK 75! Finally! It really was more of a "Finally!" moment than a "YAY WOO Alright!" moment. I don't recommend leveling on nothing but XP scrolls. Makes for really slow leveling. :P I figured I should run off and do the solo ENM BC for the 2K XP prize so I'd have a buffer, but I really didn't feel like it, so I didn't. I may (may may) seek an XP party so I can get a buffer faster and do stuff. Just hope I don't have to seek for 2-3 days to get one. RDM and NIN have spoiled me, and I'm no longer willing to seek days to a week for a DRK party.

Leveling up picture. Shiny!

I had too many BSs (I won't store more than two stacks) so the last thing I did tonight was that solo BC: Treasures and Tribulations. Once again, I ended up killed by a box, but at least I punched it first! Arrrgg! It's eating my leg! *sigh* I've done it seven or eight times now, and won only twice (the first two times!). It's getting annoying to spend 50 BS to do nothing but die and lose XP.

I still haven't figured out what I'm going to do in all the downtime tomorrow. I need to shop a little, and maybe catch up on Bleach eps. Is Naruto finally out of filler eps? Is it time to start downloading it again? I've not played the new Animal Crossing game in more than a month, maybe I'll catch my town up... Stupid FFXI being down on my last day of vacation.

Edit: Desant, Aurian, Draque, Eadwyn, Whomeh: On Tuesday, want to do Esort at 5 PM PST? Woman, want to join us in the open slot? I think you said you were free on Tuesday, so maybe that's not too early?

I do 4 xp scroll quests each conquest, they are easy to solo for mnk.
1 in sacrarium, 1 in crawler's nest, and 2 in riverne site B01.
The one in crawler's nest i used to just kill everything, but now I am subbing BST for fun, and lets you get the NPC to walk around ahead while your pet agroes everything in a room.
I wouldn't use scrolls on main but they were useful to help me cap subs.

Wow, four is nice! I only do two now (Eco and Escort) but I'm thinking about adding the CoP ones (or maybe chocobo racing) in as well...

Yeah, I did that for THF and WHM -- very handy for subjobs you'd rather not XP ever!

Do you solo echo? It seems really hard to do with the level cap. Or do you duo it with someone outside? I did it long loong ago with an actual alliance so i don't know much about how to do it with 1 or 2.

Oh, no. Our LS makes a weekly event of it. It's as much of a social get-together as it is for the reward. We usually have a full alliance of naked people running through the Maze. :P

Now you can start meriting! >:D

Rumor has it that the Great Filler Age of Naruto is coming to an end in a few weeks with the new season... my fingers are crossed...

Yay merits!

Oh man, that would be so nice. I've totally forgotten where they are in the story now (watching it dubbed on CN has messed up my memory) but still: Yay new non-filler eps!

I dunno, I got to say that reading the manga has definitely curbed my enthusism on the series a bit.
Watching other anime (both old and new) I wanted to know how the story ends. With Naruto however, it's more like: "uh... where are they going with this... It's been almost 4 years, give it a rest..." The should really take a page from the manga (no pun intended) and "skip" a few years once in a while...

Yeah, that'd work for me. This does seem to be one of those "no end in sight" anime series...

congrats on 75 ^^ I won't get home until after 7 pm on Tuesday, so unless you want to do it later, then I'm out.

Thanks!

Awww, okay. Tomorrow's suddenly gotten busy, since people now know how you get access to the new areas. (Need a coffer key from one of five places, or any test, or some chips...) So we might get Escort done first so we can get coffer keys/tests for people to get access. (Wanna go on our date to some coffer key dropping place? :P)
