GUPS 020

Phew. After spending eight and a half days straight on editing, I am completely exhausted, but now, both my blogs have been fully edited. New visitors to either blog will be able to take full advantage of my grammatical improvements, but even long-timers can revisit their favorite posts for updated content. For the most part, I have kept 90 to 95 percent of my original content; the stuff I removed was mostly to make posts more cohesive.

Now onto FFXI matters, I have compiled some four months worth of work, so strap yourself in!

Other Stuff






Finally finished my "Sic" Recast merits and almost finished "Devotion" as well. Currently, I am debating whether I want "Feral Howl" or "Killer Instinct" more. The damage boost from the latter is tempting, but I also like having a second claim tool.



















Two new key items for both my Cooking and Smithing mule.

New Non-Rare/EX goodies
Red Mage: Serket Ring, Ether Ring
Ninja: Scouter's Rope, Evasion Torque, Rasetsu Tekko, Fire Bomblet
Thief: War Gloves +1, Thunder Ring
Dark Knight: Forager's Mantle, Cassie Earring, Gigant Mantle
Summoner: Odin, Alexander

New Rare/EX goodies
















Rewards from the latest WotG quests. Overall, these staves were very difficult to obtain, but having three extra "Retraces" per day provides me additional means to travel home with.

















I have also been decking out my Crafting mules lately, and in addition, I also pulverized Odin Prime fourteen times for the "A Stygian Pact" quest. As a result, I now own every reward from that quest.










Some goodies I forgot to add in the collage above.

Guttler Updates






I felt guilty for not buying any Dynamis coins as of late, so I picked up a few One Hundred Byne Bills from Rolanmart. Currently, the 100-Bynes range from 700 to 850k gil on Sylph, so I could not purchase as many as I wanted. In addition, Dynamis money seems scarce after the server merge, so I hope SE allows us to enter Dynamis under a higher level cap soon.

Currently, I am working on Stage 3 -> 4 of my Guttler.

I have acquired:
[1/1] Dynamis Axe
[1/1] Attestation of Bravery
[29/60] One Hundred Byne Bills

Gil towards next 100-unit currency (subject to change):
[???/800k] One Hundred Byne Bill
Status: N/A
