Re: Post your Best/Latest FFXIV Accomplishment

I'll hit it around march lol.

I only have 4hrs to grind ARM a day at best, which luckily works for my crafting scedule, and so far I established That with 4hrs a day, and 14hrs "rest" between crafting sessions I get around 99000sp a week before I hit surplus, on friday, and my reset is saturday.

Also with my 250sp synth that means 6k per hour, now with my new 350sp synth (iron greaves) That'd be...8400 per hour... thus around 10hrs of straight grinding to get 43 from scratch, assuming no breaks, IRL, food breaks, delivering leves, mat hunting and so on and so forth.

So, Around 1 rank a week is as good as I can go atm. lol

So, if I hit 43 by friday I'll need 7 weeks to get 50 lol,which isn't bad really, though to motivate myself I got vintage thighboots/smithy gloves for a great price, leaving only dodore doublet, Heavy duty hammer (That I can't repair... orz) and maybe vintage coif left and my ARM is done.

Then I'll just work on getting GLA to 50 and my subs to 20-35 before Yoshi-P delivers new content.

I had put my GLA on hiatus at 30 while I work on my crafting and fishing. Fishing and Alchemy is like hand in glove and I gained 2 ranks in just a couple of days and have ranked up weaving and is close to ranking again on fishing ... and I hope to rank up tanning again.

My goals are simple ... I just need to keep pushing my crafts at least 1/4 of a rank a day but last night was the first time in a very long time in which I didn't pickup any battlecraft leves and I forgot to get some fieldcraft leves.

Well I can't handle the pressure of grinding iron greaves since they require my full attention or face a 50% failure rate, so I'm downgrading to Iron polyons (sp?) until 43, which isn't that bad since its 250-300sp per synth instead of 300-419 from the greaves, but at a near 90% success with standard spam while watching TV.

I'll hit 43 by today or tomorrow, then grind to surplus til friday where I'll dedicate that day to GLD and GLA.

Re: Post your Best/Latest FFXIV Accomplishment

Yeah watching TV/listening to audio books while tapping on enter is the only way for me to remain sane while grinding ARM, and it gives me a chance to catch up on shows and movies I missed.

Though what makes me sad is the fact that I'm sure I'll take another craft to 50 after I'm done with ARM (Probably LWR or GLD) though I might take a break to get me a Dodore Doublet.

390,000 more experience points to go to hit Physical 50. Then comes the hard part ... getting an actual something that takes skill points to 50. orz

Re: Post your Best/Latest FFXIV Accomplishment

ARM43, Iron greaves that were retardedly hard at 42 is effing easy at 43.

53000/81000 in 1 night (300-420sp) per synth, while I finished Prison break, saw watchmen and didn't like it.

Tonight I'll be 44~

Re: Post your Best/Latest FFXIV Accomplishment

Nice ... I've been sick so haven't progressed much at all.

Re: Post your Best/Latest FFXIV Accomplishment

ARM44, I should start making Iron plate armor but my wvr is 22 and GLD is 17...

I need to take a day off my ARM grinding and focus on getting wvr to 25 then turn my attention to GLD lol.

Also at 44 my vintage crap give stats higher than my old stuff by 1-3 points so I started using em, and boy with everything I have white I look like a medic...

Need Dodore ASAP.

Grats again Free ...

Man just completed Escape from Cell D72. God it was awful. 2x Darkwing Devlit pairs (Impish Incantations hit for 700 if your Shell falls off) plus paralysis that lasts 30s and they had to put the last two of 'em in a dead end chockful of Pus Gnats and a trio of Bomblets. Grrr... it was definitely an epic fight and only on one star (rank 30 quest, Cassiopeia Hollows) Jeezus christ you need a party for this one (only rewards 88 sp for megalocrabs and the darkwings are 100 sp)

See image below ... this pull was so ridiculous. I nearly died trying to coax the effing Devlits out of that hell hole.

An old FFXI friend got the game yesterday, spent my time PLing her to 10, teaching her how things work, getting her geared up and finding her a coatee set so she can pretend to be a hostess.

Did not grind at all lol.

Next on my Agenda is ARM45, then power leveling GLD and WVR (at 17/21) to 25 each to start pumping out Iron plate gear.
