Weekly Goals and Accomplishments 11/27 12/3Follow

Just noticed we missed having this on Friday.

Besides eating too much turkey and spending too much money, what did you accomplish or at least plan to get done during the long weekend?

1. Acquire Black Friday PS4
2. Spend all weekend downloading on my ******* DSL connection
3. Continue playing on PC in the meantime

More seriously:
- Get white mage to 55? (Now 52)
- Get AST to 40? (now 36)

I'm torn because I find WHM to be more engaging, but AST is leveling at a good clip and if I can yoink it to 50+ fairly quickly, it can share a lot of gear with WHM, which is already good until 55 thanks to augmented ironworks gear.

Getting both to 60 will get my the precious Grandmaster of Magic or Archmage title or whatever it is for all caster 60s, making my third clump to 60 complete. Getting all the DoWs done is going to be a major chore.

Hmmm. Sup Catwho... I've been playing the game so much I haven't really visited the forums as much as I use to, but I did accomplish getting my Monk to 42 for mantra this weekend, as I really don't enjoy playing monk for some reason, even stayed away from it in FFXI, but did start to enjoy it a lil in the end. Will I go back? Not anytime soon. LMAO

I also did something this weekend I thought I would never do, and that is started my Ninja relic from scratch as I only own one Zeta and that is on Black mage. Surprisingly in one day I was able to go from first step relic reborn, to my first atma book finished, so I'm looking forward to completing my Nin Zeta even though my Nin is sitting at 53 lol.

My crafting has slowed to a halt, but I might save those goals for another week, as I've been doing Thordan Ex, and Savage with my raid group who are really cool people. So glad I found those guys, even when we die and fail we have fun, and that's what its really all about!

Got my girl to start her WHM relic so we are doing that together. Always takes a woman to find the little things in the game that are fun that brings you down from the seriousness of grinding sometimes :) She's been decorating the house, and I find that interesting and fun as well.

Goals to complete by Thursday...

1. finish all 9 books for my Nin, and start getting lights with my lady.
2. Might start the 3.1 storyline as I haven't touched it...
3. Get my last two crafts armorer, and carpenter to 55 at least, as they are sitting at 53 and 54 with GC turn ins...
4. Make a bunch of raid food, and start making me stacks upon stacks of the new ether potions for my BLM... Throwing up 4 flares is back baby!!

Haven't replied to this for a while, but here goes nothing!

1) Cap Eso and purchase the DRK weapon.

2) Run Void Ark and take the 1st drop I see that's an upgrade for any of my lvl 60 jobs.

3) Use the VA token drop, and the 4 hunt logs I will have gathered to get 2 upgrades for my SMN gear.

4) Linked to 1, get DRK to 60 (currently 56).

All very achievable, I'm just struggling to find time to sit down and actually do it at the mo :(

My goals:

1. Continue to cap eso, buy gear for drg probably.
2. Use weekly void ark token to continue to upgrade warrior left side.
3. Get void ark armor for caster or bard
4. Obtained enough data from XIX ventures to post. Nothing cool. I'll post soon.
5. Patiently wait on my FC to decide to run Diadem HM.
6. Run some more Diadem normal and lose my 98th roll in a row on 210 items.
7. Think about leveling MCN.

I pressed on to 60 MCH just for the sake of completion, but the job has some fundamental flaws that killed it for me.

- Turret is ground targeting. EVERY BATTLE HAS GROUND TARGETING. It got so I left my mouse cursor right next to my character so I could smack the 0 key to deploy it without having to touch the mouse to reposition it, but this was the #1 thing that destroyed it for me.
- No self heals, no cross class heals, you are entirely at the mercy of your healer forever. Yeeeeaaaaah.
- Proc system that feels jarring compared to bard.

If you use the mouse, then ground targeting probably isn't a big deal. But you're on controller Valk, iirc, and I'm a pure keyboard user. I could have lived with the no self heals and proc system if it wasn't for that bloody turret.

Ground targeting sucks on controller imo, just like lord of verminion, but I've dealt with it for years throwing the fire arrows down on bard, so I'll manage. Not too interested in mcn either though. Just bringing it up for completion's sake but I can't even do that because of the awful dps queues, and the fact that I am occupying so much of my very little game time on gearing my lvl 60s

7. Think about leveling MCN.


1. Bought drg chest. Drg at 192 now.
2. Bought 210 upgrade for War gloves. War at 199 now.
3. Got bard chestpiece from void ark. Bard at 190 now.
4. Posted on ventures, then swapped out two battle classes to go hunt for quick ventures to get dyes. None yet, one guy is geared at 184 and still says I can get better items if I increase the ilvl so I dunno what is up with that. Making me wish I didnt sell my 210 duplicate pink healer wrists from diadem.
5. I broke down and christened the Powerglide on its first trip to HM with a pug the other night when they all eventually concluded that I was the only one that had it unlocked. The things in diadem actually die FASTER than in normal, because the people in HM are way better geared. This makes it hard to get credit for stuff, but not impossible. Brachiosaur dies so quickly that he only has time to get off one meteor. Normal enemies are IV and V. Its really fun. I ended up getting some 210 bard gloves. Happy about that.
6. Still at a loss for duty finder pugs in normal diadem. The greed rolls always get me.
7. Thought about it. That was the goal. I succeeded in thinking about it.

Awful DSP queues are supposed to be resolved at the next hotfix.

There was an actual bug getting triggered by people queing as a party of 3 that would break your queue forever if the algorithm accidentally tried to match you to another party or two or three. It'd literally get stuck. They are still testing the resolution but it took 15 pages of people complaining on the NA forums for them to trace the problem down, because it only affected some people some of the time, and some people none of the time. Turns out the "none" people had queued either solo or as a party of 2, and didn't get the broken bug part like the others.

So it turns out I got quite a lot done after all:

Verdha has finished the main storyline, Expert Roulette unlocked, iLvl 180, and alsohas Fisher at 60 and BLM knocking on the door of 59.

Waenlona has SCH at 58, WHM and BLM at 56, and ARC at 25. Making progress through the MSQ, unlocked and ran Aery for the first time. Had lots of RP good times.

Fun.
