05-24-06 Nuker's SMN AF Pants and Sean's NIN hit 60!

Blixmas and Nuker took on the BCNM sprouts for SMN AF pants (with some help from some of Nukers buddies) and they beat the previous record set. Good job guys! I'm not sure if Nuker or Blixmas took screenshots, but if I get my hands on some I'll be sure to add it to this post ^^;

Sean spent his evening partying with his NIN in Lab. of Onzozo. I had to stop watching his party cause it drove me nuts. Sean spent 70% of the time either muted or paralyzed. Sean was more forgiving than I was about it. He said that because he had a SMN main healer that it was ok for him to have to ask for status removals. I don't think there is any excuse for it. There were several people in the party with /WHM (including a BRD) that didn't think it was necessary to remove the effect off Sean. I thought it was common knowledge that a muted and paralyzed tank (especially a NIN!) is a dead tank.

I had this same problem in Lab. of Onzozo when I was leveling my BRD. I spent all of my limited MP taking off silence and paralyze for our NIN tanks mainly because the WHM wasn't doing it and I felt bad for the NIN having to ask for it several times a fight. Not to mention that it takes way more mp to heal a tank than it does to remove silence and let him cast blinks!

... anyway. I could go on and on about this. But I will spare you :P

Sean made it to level 60! He wants to take a little break from NIN and help me rebuild gill... but I really want him to keep going with it. The higher he is in level the better off everyone is. I could really use his NIN to help me get my BLM AF. Speaking of my BLM, I decided to take a break from it until Sean's NIN is a little higher in level.

What will I do with my time? Farm -.- and level SMN if I can ever get a party. Nuker said that he rarely uses Fenrir so it won't be that big of a deal that I don't have him. At least it is a cheap job to level.

I'm also working on Bliss again... I really want to make her a SMN. The major roadblock is fame. I took my BRD out to KRT and farmed for bat wings to help build her fame. After about 1.5 hours I was able to send over 4 stacks to Bliss. Trading those gave me lvl 2 fame in Sandy. Not great really, but it did allow me to accept the honey quest from Rainbroy (spelling?). Now I can farm for hours in Giddeus building gil and have a use for all the honey I get. Before long I'll max out fame in Sandy.

I was able to get Bliss to 36WHM the other day (Sunday I think) and I am 900 tnl to 37. The party disbanded and I wasn't in the mood to push the issue of getting my level first. I'll ask Sean to powerlevel me the rest of the way :)
