Huge update

Long time no post! I let this thing rot for a bit, but I received a bit of guilt for not updating, so here goes.

Scholar, scholar, scholar. Apparently it is now THE sub for White Mage, so I've been working really hard toward getting the job to level 37. Currently it is at 32.

I've started to have real trouble finding a party at this point, which is quite discouraging. I resorted to duoing with my NPC in Batillia Downs after searching for a party for a little too long. EXP was horrible of course, but it's better than nothing. I also don't have my NPC in the gearset I'd like her to be in yet, so doing this changed some of her gear.

Nyzul Isle is still going strong. I still can't get over the stingyness of the drops of the HNMs in there, but recently we got Evele some Askar dirs. yay!

With the release of the new relic weapons on the horizon, I'd really like to try to get to floor 100 soon. Unfortunately, that doesn't look like it's going to happen. The Askar body piece is what most of the group is drooling over, and that's floor 80. I'd just like someone to get a Nyzul Isle weapon, it doesn't have to be me. I'd be first in line in helping that person do whatever needs to be done to get the final weapon.

Sunday's perma is... still existing? The group members talk about switching jobs around and whatever which confuses me to no end. All I know is that I'll show up in SAM gear for as long as the perma lasts, and then most likely shelf the job. I'll keep the gear in case the LS needs me as a SAM for things, but I still have much more to do with WHM before I think about improving SAM much.

There's new merit updates arriving with the June update. The merits I've been saving for MND #3 will most likely be spent on two more Shellra V merits, and 2 more Devotion merits. At least these merit decisions are pretty much no-brainers. After that, I still need to make gear improvements to MaxMP, MND, and RestingMP.... and melee/WS. So pretty much everything. I can't wait to finish Scholar so that I can focus on WHM again (and learn what the /SCH fuss is about)

So... that's about it. I'll try to make one of these after each session of play until it becomes habit. I'm usually pretty quiet in-game, so this will also be a good space to just say random stuff that goes through my head but doesn't feel worthy to type in FFXI.
