By now, most of us who are not playing Fallout 4 should have a good understanding of what we want to do in the 3.1 environment for any given week. So with that, please post the goals!


Mine:

1. I need to keep up with the retainer ventures. I'll be posting my data at the end of next week likely, but the returns on XIX are better than everything shy of XIII in its heyday, so we will see. Even my common items are selling for 4-9k each.

2. Run void ark tuesday. Grab something lvl 200 for bard probably, since I am finding that I like to use ranged when fighting giant dinosaurs in diadem. Upgrade the warrior pants to 210 with the weekly token.

3. Cap esoterics and buy a warrior piece. I think the helmet is gonna be next.

4. Try to complete the verminion challenges. Ugh.

5. Run as many diadem normal modes out of Pillars as I can. Found out last night I can go into normal from solo. Found out last night there was a normal... Dunno how I glossed over that during my two Easy runs... I'll run with FC on normal when they are up for it, and definitely when our airship unlocks hard mode (turns out RNG wasn't with us).

6. I'm capped on eso, so I'll spend the weekend leveling mcn and going into diadem when I get some time.

Note: Side note, grats to Kat, Ikaru, and Evebont who got pink 210 pieces last night! I went in later with a premade as scholar... and was lucky enough to pick up not one, but two 210 healer bracelets, the second with nearly triple the crit as the first. Healer crit is goooood, but I hate healing =/. I'm seeing on average that 2-3 gold chests drop during every normal run. I am anticipating much more gold drops in hm.

I haven't even done Void Ark yet, but that's my goal for tonight.

My main goal for the weekend is simply to level my bard. Want to do roulettes, hunt marks, the new beast quests, FATE grinding, anything. I'm at level 54 2/3 at the moment, and I'd love to finish the weekend closer to level 58. I'm not above shameless North Thanalan FATE grinding while watching movies, Bill Mahar or college football.

Once I get my bard to 60, then I'll be splitting more time between XIV and XI. In XI, I need to farm Limbus (how cool is that?) for some AF reforging materials. My goal there is to grind JUST ENOUGH that I can at least look like a proper red mage as I go through the game's remaining storyline.

Also, Fallout IV... has anyone here played it yet? If so, thumbs up or down?

Those that have, they haven't managed to stand up from their chairs long enough to post about their experiences.

I've been taking my time, only trying 1-2 new things each day, so as not to get overwhelmed. The last thing on my plate is Lord of Verminion. So my goals for the next week are:

1. Another level or two on machinist
2. Another crafter or two at 60
3. Run Void Ark again and this time don't go crazy and lot the first thing that drops T_T (I mean, the belt I got last night was an upgrade, but then the BRD coat dropped at the last boss and I had a sad.)

I'm gonna have to buy ANOTHER retainer. My two gear only retainers are full to bursting, and I've already picked through the gear I'm willing to give up. I need my wardrobe options! Eorzea's Next Top Model cycle five is in auditions, and if I'm competing this round, I'll probably splurge on the 6th retainer and do more gear rearrangement.

Still need to do void ark, but my bard is level 57 now! I should hit 60 by the end of the week at latest.

Finally did Void Ark as paladin. Got bard legs!

Must say, VA is much easier than I thought it would be. So far, I think SE did the best with how it tuned WoD. The second-to-last boss in VA was a bit challenging, but everything else was pretty simple.

Annnnd dinged level 58, thus accomplishing my weekend's primary goal. Tonight, if I have time, my goal will be to unlock and run the new dungeons.

I've got to say... while the expert roulette may be ultra tedious with just two dungeons (more of a coin flip), leveling other jobs is now a lot more fun (and easy) now that everything gives exp. I've had a great time jumping into the leveling and level 50 roulettes to get exp on bard. I did a few dungeons this weekend that I hadn't seen in months.

1. I've got a good deal of retainer information saved, but don't feel like I have a high enough total number of samples (N=10 for gatherers) to give a reasonable accurate drop rate, so I'm going to carry it out another week to get more data.
2. Ran void ark, got caster boots (to go with the coat from last week) and got my warrior pants upgraded to 210.
3. Eso isn't close to capped (halfway there), but I am about 15 eso shy of buying the helmet.
4. I haven't even looked at these, the control mechanism on controller was too much to overcome.
5. After about five diadem normal runs I have come away with a pegasus, a 210 healer bracelet, and 210 healer pants. Airship unlocked HM a few nights ago, we are supposed to go in there tonight. We will see how it goes...
6. MCN is at 54 or 55 now I think, I'm leveling him super slowly.

Been leveling up my WAR Lalafell alt. This Job is way more fun than DRK/PLD. I mean, DRK is fun, but I always thought it felt like too much work that doesn't really pay off. Kind of feel that way with all the Heavensward Jobs to be honest.
