As usual, please post what you plan to accomplish this next weekend/week and on Thursday of next week come back and let us know how you did!


My Goals:

1. Eso goes to drg. Still needs belt and wrist I think. Farthing to drg. Just trying to get one job to ilvl 209 at least.
2. Still keep trying fates out in Forelands. The crystal drop rate out there has to be 0.05%.
3. At 912,000 mgp. Keep on winning baby cactus scratches.
4. Try to level something.
5. I am at something like 39.6 million gil. Cheer on my retainers to get me to 40.
6. Trying not to think about the relic and my dismal progress considering I play the game 2 hours a night max at this point. Family has been a priority lately. I think I'm around 30/80 tbh, I'll probably get it after they nerf it lol.

Well finished off the relics for my main (DRK and SCH.) and working on Relic for my Alt's MCH and BRD.

Goals - Break more content battles using a glitch SE seemed to not have fixed since 2013.

My goal is to get closer to 40/80 on relic items. Busy weekend, though, so won't have much time to play.

Verdha's collecting Eso for MNK, slowly building up anima mats, and Ixal quests, She might get around to levelling the healer jobs again, and will definitely put some time into Alchemist for the next crafting 60. And she needs to restock MB inventory and cook a lot of food. 40m, Valk? Verdha's just topped 2m, and that's almost the most she's ever had!

Waenlona has finished levelling (except crafting/gathering), so her task is to finish off the MSQ this week. That of course is beside all the usual chocobo levelling (won't break a new rank this week), and catching up on some of the low level crafting.jobs, and is moderately close to capping off the Kobold tribe quests. And probably buy some bookshelves, which I say every week but never quite get around to doing.

Well, the good news is I got another freelance assignment to work on, and this gig pays pretty well! It's a good enough rate that I won't mind buying a mocha while working on it. Bad news is, Thayos will be standing around even more this weekend.

But you know what they say: "If it don't make dollars, it don't make cents!"

My goals are simple for this week.

1. Continue working towards Eso bard pieces. I need a little over 1300 esos (just under 3 weeks of capping) to get the final three pieces - head, waist, and feet. I will get feet first since that's a big change in physical appearance, as is the head which will be second. The waist will be last. I currently use VA pieces for those three areas.

2. I've started the 3.0 relic for my bard and am at the dungeon stage. I'm also working on the 2.0 relic (I love how it looks), but it's on hold until I've completed the 3.0 relic. I will start on what stage 3 stuff I can do at this point.

3. Help wife with her stuff. This is in-progress and mainly consists of helping her with the dungeons for the books for her 2.0 relic (she won't start the 3.0 relic until she's done with it). I'll also help her complete the hard mode dungeons; the hard mode roulette is the only one she hasn't unlocked.

4. Work on leveling my other jobs.

5. Other odds and ends.

Many of these are in-progress and most likely won't be finished this week.

I actually reached 42/80 over the weekend, and I'm on the cusp of 45/80 thanks to dailies. This grind looked a lot bigger on paper. When actually playing the game, it just flies by.

Also got my miner up from 50 to 52. Hoping to use it to gather mats for the crafted relic items. Fortunately, my awesome FC has plenty of high-level crafters to actually make the items, so I won't need to shell out millions of gil.

And managed to get i200 legs for my pld from Void Ark, and got the i200 tome boots w/ upgrade.

Life is good.

I finished my Almace and Ancile on PLD. Time to start tanking stuff again!

My chocobo hit rank 19. Used my last onion and can start getting him to 20.

I have a couple of dungeons to finish for my WHM Anima. Yes, I'm going for a second, but I'm going to be a lot less driven on this one.

My goal is to work on AST. It's currently 44.

Well, reached my goal in soloing every ex primal. Now to wonder if SE will fix the bug in 3.2 or not finally.

No doubt as a responsible player, and not a savage cheater, you've duly reported this issue to SE.

I reported it to SE in 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and yesterday lol. Even uploaded the video and linked it to them, even though they "don't take outside evidence." This is the bug: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsictp7ULCM

Wow that's really bad. Relatively easy to fix too.

I've got all ponies already, but now I'm interested in knowing if that can be used on Thornmarch EX as well >_>

It doesn't :( He won't summon his adds, but he still becomes invulnerable. Drat

Works on all Ex primals (not Hard Mode though strangely) and even all final Coil battle fields (T5/T9/T13) but I didn't record certain ones cuz it felt way too exploity for my liking lol. (Since the harder ones like Thordan, T9/T13 requires exploiting certain terrain points due to death walls/lack of outside arenas.)

That's why I find it interesting they never fully fixed this but instead made it so pets draw aggro from enemies (it was originally done with Eos/Selene/Garuda but they changed it so ACN pets draw aggro, but forgot about MCH technically having a pet so the change didn't apply to it.)

Pretty solid example of fixing the symptom instead of the problem. The issue is in the monster AI. It should just straight up ignore anything it can't reach due to an arena wall, and nothing outside an arena should be able to affect something inside it during combat.

Hmm so after painstakingly leveling my crap MCN, and solo tanking nearly 700 Ramuh Ex runs, seeing the horn drop maybe 35 times, and losing every single time, I may actually be able to collect my last pony tonight. I will... in fact... stick it to RNGesus.

1. Most of this done. I'm ahead on eso for this week.
2. Got forelands done. Currently only need four crystals to complete (1 in hinterlands, 1 in Azys, 2 in Coerthas West)
3. Ended last night with 950,000 mgp. Keeping it up. I see Fenrir in my future really soon.
4. Working on Ninja. Almost to 52. I like the job although I suck at it and it seems that there are so many awesome things to do that I can't really macro, it is mandatory that I have to roll over my bar to get them all.
5. Hit 40 mil last night when I sold off all the silver from the retainer ventures. Happy about this milestone. Now onto 50 mil.
6. Officially overestimated. I'm at 26/80, really close to having 28/80. I'm in no hurry. But, since I finally got my game room back and set everything up, I don't have to share a TV with Nick Jr. anymore, and that is ok for me. We've got four monitors active running TV, PS3, PS4, and Youtube plus two tablets and while that might induce a bit of ADD, at least I don't have to share a TV anymore.

My goal for the weekend is simply to progress on my relic. I'm around 45/80 now, and I think I can easily hit 50+. I've been doing a bit more extra work this week to offset some doctor costs, and I've got a basketball game to cover tonight, and then I'm going night skiing after work tomorrow. :) And I took more freelance work to do Saturday. But I should have plenty of time to play Saturday night and Sunday.

I've not been able to duplicate the trick on any fight other than Ifrit EX, Garuda EX, and Ultima HM. I believe that it is possible on fights other than that (I haven't tried every single trial, either) but for most other fights there is presumably a bit more involved than simply placing your pet as far outside of the battlefield as possible > let it take hate > win.

Yep - That's why I didn't record it since it's basically showing how to further exploit the ones without outer geometry to take advantage of.

Been a while but here I go again.

Last week:
I actually logged on and played and it was fun! I pony farmed, got rank 8 on Vanu beastman dailies, farmed up crystals and got my whm Animated Seraph Cane. I'm probably going to be playing more to gear up for this KittyCult weekend raid thingie since they want me on healer.

This week:
☐ Run the 10 Dungeons to upgrade relic cane (05/10)
☐ Cap Eso
☐ Get weekly drop in Void Ark
☐ Pony farm (need Nightmare & Levi)

Another sub-goal...

I'm not really liking the current ESO set for paladin. I'd love to find a good glamor set that's a bit more fitting for the Warrior of Light.

Paladin's got one of the best looking esoteric sets, imo

A bit underwhelmed with the Dark Knight set. It's not bad but there so many dungeon sets that resemble it so it doesn't feel very special.

It's essentially a reskin of the tank Demon gear from World of Darkness. I know they tried to get it to somewhat resemble older style Dark Knight design, but honestly..I still like XI's DRK AF gear (all 3 sets.)
