05-13-06 Capping Exp and more Merits!

I woke up this morning at my usual time of 6:00 AM. Why so early on a Saturday? Sean set my alarm so I could wake him up at 7:00. That bastard! :P

Since I was awake and the house was quiet, I decided to flag up and see what my chances were on getting a party. They were pretty good apparently, because I was offered one in less than 5 minutes ^^;

The party decided to go to B. Thickets and for the first time since the expansion came out, everyone in the party had the portal. Thank goodness cause I really wasn't in the mood or the frame of mind to make the run that early in the morning -.-

The xp would have been better if there hadn't been sooooo many people in the area. After about an hour I asked the WARs and NINs in my party to Provoke pull.... Elegy was no match for the other pullers who were using Provoke. At one point I counted 6 pullers not including myself. If it hadn't been so late in Japan I think we would have moved to another staging point.

But all things considered we did well. I was always curious about what would happen if you selected the EXP mode and capped out. Would it automatically switch you to Limit mode? Today I got my answer: Yes it will switch automatically. I was 39.5k/44k when we started the party. It took no time at all to gain that much EXP and then I started gaining merit points.

One more point and I can merit for more MP ^^; But I think I will leave my option set to EXP mode... just in case I happen to die it will switch me back to recap and then back to Limit mode when I do. Kinda nice that they set it up that way.

I may merit more later this afternoon. But I need to log out and take my daughter to my office. She has a school project due this week and needs to print out some pictures for it. ^^;
