Askar ninja lotting! PUP MMM disaster!

Once again, I have fallen behind on what has been going on. Oh well, I'll just talk about stuff that's been happening recently.

Raieth's Nyzul Isle party met again on Wednesday (yesterday as I write this.) I was surprised to see a rotating cast of characters this time. Well, not really. The main goal of reaching floor 100 and getting the Runic Key for the party members has been accomplished so all that is left is farming Askar/Denali/Goliard pieces (as far as I can see.) The one constant remains though - me WHMing it up in a quite stressful situation. These guys are decked out "end-game" melees who tear right into things. This usually leaves them with a rapidly depleting HP bar that has my name on it. Finding a small amount of time to rest MP is scarce. But I got Askar hands for my lolSAM (outlotting Zisen, a dedicated melee from what I can see) only because Raieth forced me to lot. Sorry Zisen!

I did the Buffalo event, if only out of spite for missing the summer event due to credit card problems. Pretty simple, just herd the buffalo to the moogle. I got this weird horn furnishing item and a belt that turns me into a chigoe once a day. I know know how I'm arriving at Salvage every Sunday.

Finally, I felt bold and foolish and tried to solo a Moblin Maze Mongers as my level 15 PUP. The first floor was chigoes but I was struggling with the PUP macros and almost died fighting them. Towards the last couple of chigoes I got everything together and started feeling confidant. ...so confidant that I tried to do a second floor. In hindsight I should have thanked my lucky stars that I got squishy chigoes for a first floor mob and should have left when I had the chance. The second floor was slimes and I got destroyed by the first one I fought. Fluid Spread is one deadly move. My Harlequin automaton's magic is severely underleveled - it can only cast Dia at the moment - so I need to raise that up somehow so it can cure me. Regardless, I'm probably going to keep ramming my head against the wall that is MMM - with anyone else that is willing to synch down to my level.

I agree! It's difficult to rest on whm during Nyz. =/ I try to use sublimation once we zone in, and then rest while someone find the rune when the objective is cleared.
