Hit level 13 as WHM finally. Took way longer than it had to because I kept tabbing out. I'm kind of lost on where to grind next. I think I only need one more level before I can join some EXP parties to speed this up. Definitely a bit of a low point in my experience right now. I keep being told "You'll gain those levels before you know it." but man I sure don't feel like it right now. (=_=); Kinda feeling a bit of the burn.

But the time I'm spending with people is still worth it. I know it gets better. I could go do quests, or do some more fun leveling on my RDM. I'm just being stubborn (-‸ლ)

Doing all this without the empress band sounds like a nightmare. The only reason I could do it was because I was a Galka last time. Never got very far. I suppose I've never told you all about that. I used to play a Galka on here. Did basically nothing but grind to level 30. Get Dragoon, and then grinded that to 27 before I just stopped because I wasn't doing anything else. Definitely a mistake on my part that I don't wanna make again. I don't wanna burn out ;w;

I hit level 14 WHM! It took, once again, way longer than it had to. But I did it! I'm hoping to level it up way more in a party rather than solo. My gosh. I didn't even have my empress band on for it because I *forgot* to restart the effect. I'm a fool. D:

Anyways I'll probably have a much better time tomorrow.

Not much has happened today for me. But as I expected I had a better time than yesterday. I picked up a Mythril Dagger and grinded the Dagger skill up on Damselflies in preparation for when I have to solo bard up in the future. Or any future leveling for Thief. Give the early levels at least a tiny boost. The rest of my time at the time of writing has been just...hanging out. Killing crabs and Beach Pugils. Leveling my skills and trying to get exp slowly since I haven't asked around for an XP party. I should do that tomorrow.

I wanted to try streaming my shenanigans, grinding or otherwise, but I got pre-occupied. Hanging out with family, I just forgot about it earlier as well. Ah well. I'm sure I'll do it one day. I hope you're all having a good day, by the way. I might not know you but I still hope you're happy.

Edit: I didn't wanna make a new post for such a small thing, but my empress band ran out. So I'm not gonna be doing any grinding until I join a party or recharge the band. Possibly no massive level up news for a bit.

Should be able to recharge the ring tomorrow, it's once per week. I forget if it's after conquest tally or 24 hrs after conquest tally.

Today, I partnered up with a Blue mage in my linkshell and was helping them acquire some spells. While I was helping them, I got to level 26, and mooooost of the way to 27. Ah if only I had the empress. Oh well, progress is progress. As I'm typing this, I'm spending some time leveling up my skills. Spamming Protect to get my Enhancing magics up, and I plan to level up Enfeebling as well soon. I'm just happy I was able to make noticeable progress.

Nowadays I just have trouble figuring out how I'm meant to look for parties. I assume that I just...go to the places and ask around. Or join a linkshell. I hear the Goonies might be a good place to find people.

December 19th!

Today has been a bit of a busy one. For starters, I finished off the Chocobo License quest, so now I can finally ride chocobo's! I know that they're kind of obsolete compared to teleports, but they're actually my fastest path to Jeuno as of right now. Especially since Pashhow Marshlands hates me and it's been taken over by a different country, so now I can't deliver my Derfland Supplies.

Someone gave a million Gil. Yeah, I can't remember their name. I've always been bad at names. But they're moving over to Horizon permanently and gave it to me while I was just sitting around the Dunes. This happened a day or two ago, not today. I just...forgot to mention it I guess. I've already spent over 100k of it. But that was mostly on maps and trying out a piece of furniture for storage. It did not live up to my expectations (~_~;)

Thanks to the power of Sneak and Invisible, which I learned thanks to being a Red Mage (For now) I managed to make my way all the way through Qufim myself, which was rather exciting! Last time I was here for heavy grinding, I had to get escorted by Richat. That was the day I got to level 24 RDM. Thanks to Gazef and some others, I managed to hit RDM 28, which goes well with my 14 WHM. I'm so close to my goal...If any of you have read my little tag at the bottom, I really wanna become a bard. Mostly to help others, but also just because it's a funny pun on Maestro. Which I picked for the musical pun and as a reference to a really nice Megaman Fangame. Which I regret sometimes, because people keep thinking I speak spanish. I don't. (・・;)

I feel like this little update wouldn't be complete without mentioning that I got visited by Nasomi. Well, more accurately, we did. Because they forgot to remain invisible to us. Knowing that even Nasomi reads these just makes me wanna do them even more. I've joked about it in the past to Ahriman but sometimes I feel like one of those funny Niche Internet Micro Celebrities considering how many people apparently read these. I'm flattered! (◕‿◕✿)

I've been having a bit of trouble with my Empress Band. I can't tell if I've just been getting the date wrong, but I haven't been able to recharge it. I thought it was a bug so I got rid of it and I can't even buy a new one. So I guess I'm just stuck for a bit without an EXP boost. Not too bad, but just the idea that I could be that tiny bit closer to being the bard I wanna be makes my mouth water. Ah well. I'm sure I'll grab another one soon. Been told that I can get a new one today.

I've been considering streaming my exploits as a bard. Grinding, questing. I've gotten the early early bits out of the way. I'm definitely gonna do it, but what do you friends think? Bard shenanigans?

It took a while, but today I hit level 29 RDM.

Soon.

Soon.

Soon.

Gosh I'm so close to 30 this took forever. Pashhow marshlands is my home right now. Partially because it's decent for exp partially because I'm trying to shift the balance so that I can finally teleport here because I'm ANGY and my supplies were wasted. I will singlehandedly change this place.

Not the most exciting day otherwise, other than immense rage at about 2000 exp worth of deaths. I was not happy about Final Sting. Or goblins. I hate goblins. They kill me.

nice reading!
hope you keep on keeping on

I just logged after I do not know how long..
I did not immediately recall much beyond WASD movement keys.. went to Jeuno before logging out - did nothing, but just stand idle and look up some commands, and selected various settings for commands.

I suppose next time I'll start to remember or relarn how to go about changing gear, and jobs which I might level and just about everything else

Zeruhn Mines can be great income for mining. When the Bastok Linkshell group was active - we once helped someone who was able to earn 40k on their 1sst day ever in Nasomi from mining there.

Remember that H lets you heal and things that are 'even match' can kill you surprisingly easily! Do not make the same mistake I keep making! I am incapable of learning. Hope you have a good time!! Oh, and reminder that at the bottom right after the posts are finished, the pages are there. Very small. There's even more to read!
