Less than productive day (FFXI)

thistlechaserOdd thing happened today. Our XP static has the same six members every week. Same jobs, been going to the same camp, same mobs. No other parties there with us. Usually the XP is fine -- a little slower than I'd like, but the lack of other people makes it worth going there. This week? XP was just plain old bad. Same people, party, jobs, level, camp, mobs. None of us understood it.
So: No hitting 74 this week, when we were certain we would. Not even close, really. I'm @6K, though leading edge in the group is @1K. Bah. Was a depressing start to the day. I'm so ready to be done with BRD. 75, a bit of a buffer, then it goes away. (Sorry guys.)
Digging continues to be pretty bad. What's up with the desert always being dug out? Used to be I could successfully dig there a couple times a week, but it's been two weeks since I could stay there. Depressing.
The moon was too small to skill Chaser's gold, so hopefully tomorrow. I attempted to do synths for money, but mostly I just restocked her ingot supply for future guild turnins. (75K/100K on apron, don't think I'll go for the mog house item. It requires light moghancement. WTF? That's nearly as annoying as leather's MH item requiring ice moghancement.)
The only real progress I made today was figuring out how to deal with BRD's MP issues. I have 133 MP "naturally" -- no food in me, so no +50 from the crown. I want at least 150 naturally (for raise/reraise). I 'figured it out', but I can't put the fix in place yet. c.c I'm going to use the two assault earrings (antivenom and insomnia) instead of melody earrings. I have CHR coming out of my ears, and for a bit of time I worried about losing the +eva, but with our party setup that'll be fine. So the reason I couldn't put the fix into place? I'm 95 AP short of the second earring. :P With the one earring I'm at 148 MP, so if we had leveled up today I bet that would have given me 150. :/
Other good thing was a Besieged, though it was only level 1. 330 XP closer to catching up in static! 9.9
Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Today was both frustrating and very little fun.
