3/5 Askar Set

After our scheduled Einherjar and Limbus runs, we did 3 Nyzul Isle runs.
I got the Askar Zucchetto, making me 3/5 on Askar. Its a lovely piece, but it breaks my heart to stove away my Shura Zunari Kabuto in storage, probably never to be used again. Or,nevermind I think it still has a place in my WS gearsetup on SAM.

BLS & Bonecrafting

Took yesterday off to go see a Black Label Society Concert.
Brought my camera with me..

Also, I finally got Bonecraft to 100!!
0-100 cost approx. 3 million

More new stuff..

Stopped by in Nashmau today and got me a Gleeman's Cape. It's a nice piece, and I can sell my Prism Cape now for some gil. Win-Win situation!



Got my Bonecraft to 98.7 today.

New purchase!

Figured I'm not likly gonna get this by farming the NM in the near future, so I went ahead and bought the Fire Bomblet.

A day full of events..

Yesterday I did a lot of things.
First off, I did some crafting, taking Bonecraft up to 96.5.

Then we did our usual ENM "Brothers".  Nothing good dropped.

After that I went out for some IRL shopping, found a cool microwave owen that I had to buy, lol. Anyways, got back and exp'd my Monk to 21.

After that i headed to Boneyard Gully for our second ENm for the day, but once there we got notice of a lonely Cerberus wandering around. So Seraphi gathered together and pwned it, nice clean fight with an Algol for Delaney.

After that it was time for the ENM "Shell we dance" and the X'S Knife BCNM. Crap drops again. 3'rd empty chest in a row on the X-fight..

After that Seraphi headed to La Vaule for a first attempt on "The Blood-bathed Crown" SCNM. The fight was a piece of cake and we got the "Supremacy Ring" (grats Avy) and soem money drops.

After all that I had a headache, so I went offline and watched the latest Indiana Jones movie. After that I still had a headache but I also wanted to punch something. George Lucas is a f**ing idiot. The movie sucked!! 

Backpiece upgrade for THF & SAM

I decided to spend some cash today. Bought a Forager's Mantle.
Best TP backpiece for my SAM and THF.



After that we did Dynamis Buburimu. Cleared and got 7 AF, 4 of them accessories.

Sunday..

We started of the day doing our usual Brothers ENM. It was a very fun fight this time, mainly because something went wrong and we had to kite to recover. Cleared it with 4 min to spare. And we got a Cloud Evoker! Good start.

After that, since it was a full moon, I decided to poverlevel my Bonecrafting. Did 240 synths(!), since im on Trumpet Rings now and I had saved up alot of materials it went super, and I ended the the day sitting at 92.6.

After that we went and did the "Shell we Dance" ENM. Nothing goood dropped. On the way there we spotted Xolotl walking around, so we decided to go kill it the next gamenight after ENM. Got a few more people to come down and we killed it. 2 dark crystals and a Zoolander hat ><.

After that it was time for Einherjar. This time we had a 50/50 mage/DD setup. It went pretty good, but we got a wave of imps that screwed us over timewise. The mobs where: 6 Dragons, 12 imps, 12 demons, Cerb boss. We timed out on the demons.

After that we had Nyzul planned. Did 3 runs. Got Hydra boss on all 3. First run - no drop. Second run - Askar body. Third run - Golliard Body.I got the Askar body and Aphy got the Golliard.

Nyzul Isle

Yesterday we did 3 more floor 80 runs, trying to get some body pieces.
It was a quite successful run, netting us drops in 2 of the 3 runs. Bettysan got a Goliard Body and I got the Denali Jacket.



We just need to get 3 Askar bodys now and then we can move on to farm floor 100 for some sexy headpieces.

Did some more crafting yesterday, got Bonecrafting up to 83.2 and also picked up Leathercraft again, and took that to 7.6.

We also did an Einherjar as we always do on thursdays, only had 27 people show up, we did ok, got the boss (Khimmy) to 30%ish before we timed out.
I personally think we should try and go for a manaburn setup for this, even if that means having some people not be able to enter. Besides most of our members have atleast one of the BLM, RDM, BRD, WHM jobs unlocked. 15 BLMs sync-nuking a -aga3 spell with brds immedeatly hord lullabying everything again seems like a viable solution to me.
If we wipe, so what..

Quick update

I have been a bit lazy with updates lately..
We've done the usual events and all every day.. I have not gotten anything worth mentioning, but I have worked hard on my bonecrafting mule every day. Its currently at 81.6 and slowly rising. 

I wish I had kept track on my expenses from the start of this mule, so I would know the total cost for the leveling, but I didnt.. I've done a rough estimate and my losses for leveling 0-80 comes to approx. 1.7 million gil.

I could have cut costs a bit, but from my experience with some recipes, farming ingredients is not always the best way to cut costs. For example farming giant femurs for hours, or buying them for 500gil/pcs and using the time saved to do what you usually do to earn gil is way better. 

Also, just blindly aiming for the cheapest synths available for skillups is not always so good. Some items have a much better price when selling back to npc..
Like doing a 100 synths that cost 1000gil each, which npcs back for 50gil may sound cheap, but when compared to a synth that costs 10000gil and sells back to npc for 9800 its easy to see the benefit of the later. The only problem with this is you need some gil on hand just to start off..and something to hit for those times where you do a few critical breaks in a row.

The best advice I can give anyone that is planning on leveling a craft is to use the excellent recipe-database on ffxiah.com
