- First and foremost, I solo farmed a Pandemonium Key. No small feat I might add... even at 99 with RoE gear. And I did it all on PUP/DNC with a Soothing Healer automaton. It wasn't until I finished that I realized I probably could have used my Trust NPCs to make the whole process a lot faster and easier on myself, but at least now I know for the future, right? /sigh
- I built a few parties to do the new(ish) BCNMs for the books to upgrade my AF gear to the new 109 gear. 16 Feet and 10 Body Pieces in total. I upgraded my PUP & SMN bodies and I'm just procrastinating buying the necessary junk to build my NQ AF PUP feet so I can +1 them and subsequently upgrade those as well. When all is said and done, I'll have 4 of the 10 pieces I plan to upgrade finished. Not a bad start.
- With a littlee help from one of the guys in my LS, I ran through 2 salvages, Thickets and Reef. Sadly... Thickets was the one I already had. Figures. Either way, I'm 2/4.
- Hayde, Shep, Bump, Hjui, Taril and I attempted NNI floor 100 a total of 4 time, failing to reach the final floor each time. We've come to the decision that we're aiming for floor 80 from now on and just using KIs to buy the floor 100 gear we want so badly. Thaumas Coat and Nares Cuffs are really all I want anyway. How hard can it be to reach floor 80 ten times? Not that bad I hope.
- Using Jujus I didn't even know I had, I walked into Dynamis - Qufim and wiped the floor with the zone boss. I'm now 1/3 of the way to unlocking Tavnazia.
- Farmed up over 70k in sparks through the weekend which I've been using to buy the 119 upgrade books for PUP and SMN. So far I have 4/8 towards 1 body piece, lmao. This might take a while.
- Used my accumulated merit points to buy pops for 3/5 of the new Arc-Angel fights in hopes that some day someone will want to actually do them with me. But hey... what the hell else am I going to use merits for at this stage in the game? I mean really...
- Alllllllllmost capped on Automaton Magic skill. Again, without actually working on it actively... it almost feels like the progress goes even faster. Odd how that works.
- Netted myself a dagger from the new BCNM worth 2.5mil and a box of 11 plutons from RoE worth a combined 2.75mil for an effortless total of 5.25mil for the weekend.
- Purchased my Mog Bonanza Kupons before I let another year slip past me. I'm calling it right now, the winning number will be 20185. Either that or switch the last digit out for 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 0. Yeah that's right, I'm guaranteeing myself a rank 5 prize. I also chose the same numbers on my mule... Because I'll be damned if my mule wins a mythic and I don't. Fuck that noise. I mean I suppose I could take the Gil and use that to buy the Alex I need for it, but I doubt there's even 10k worth of Alex in peoples bazaars right now, let alone 20k. And that still wouldn't help me with the other crap I need to do... like Inchor or Nyzul tokens... Ugh.
- I completely reworked all my macros for COR, SCH and PUP so that gear swapping and abilities are properly organized and functioning at their max. It was a lot harder than I make it sound, believe me.
- Finally... I came up with a plan to earn the money I need to build Nirvana. Using the profits from the Scoria I'll be getting off PW, I'll buy all the Alex I see at a consistent 10-12k each and no more than that. Added to what I already have, and according in the occasional salvage run for an additional few pieces, I should be manage to earn 30k inside of 12 weeks from now. Not bad. That all depends on me getting a PW pop every week, finding the people to kill it every week and reliably selling the scoria I earn from it every week. There are a lot of variables in there, but I maintain faith that one day not so long from now, I'll be wielding a 99 Nirvana.
Here's hoping!
