Veo's Vana'diel

BAH! School has been kicking my ass lately, haven't had a whole lot of extra time to play outside of the usual scheduled events (Dynamis and Salvage).

Which comes to my latest achievement! I have Anu's, Ea's and Enlil's Tiara, which gives me all the rare/ex stuff I need to get Marduk's Tiara! Just need to find time to do about 10 Royale Rambles, and people willing to help me out. I have 460KS so I have enough for all 10 battles and some screw ups.

I'm originally going after Skadi gear in Salvage, but no one else in my group really wants Marduk stuff, so I keep getting the leftovers. Just haven't had too much luck so far with Skadi stuffsfsfs.

As for leveling, I got blm up to 73! :D More than half way to 74 now. I'm working on BST at the moment. One of the hardest things so far is trying to find the perfect camp for the level I am, and everytime I gain a level, the camp changes. At level 36-38 the SSG was perfect for me, starting off on Sahagins then moving on to Ghasts around 37. After that I tried some suggested places on Wiki. Yuhtunga Jungle was a bust, leveling off Goblin Poachers with Soldier Crawler pets. At 39, all the pets (except maybe 2) checked as Tough, and the Poachers were mostly IT, some VT. Probably a better place for level 40. Someone suggested Lycos in the past, at Battalia or Rolanberry, but those were all EP.

But after a lot of traveling and some dying I found the perfect place! Jugner Forest [S] around H-6. As soon as I got there, Land Pugils and Snippers (my pets) checked as EM and Hawkertraps (the Prey) were all T, AND the number of pets to prey was 3 to 1, with lots of space to run around. Couldn't ask for a better spot! Hawkertraps are vicious though, they hit kind of hard, and somewhat fast. Either that or I am paranoid, and they double attack me every chance they get... either way, it takes two pets to kill one, and if I don't have the second pet ready fast I get my ass kicked.

As soon as I get up to 40 I'm heading back to that Yuhtunga camp, to see if it's better at a higher level. The Page 2 Regime for that zone is perfect for that camp. 4 Goblins (any job), and 7 Death Jackets (which were EP). The extra exp, and a refresh would make it heaven!

Haven't messed around too much with Crafting, nor have I purchased that token thing for Mog Sachel yet. But I did do a couple of those new missions. I know a lot of people have already finished them and got their augmented stuff, and almost all for several different purposes, which is a pretty good addition for the game, but for 10 dollars... I can't help but feel SE is just sucking up the last bit of money they can before switching all their focus to Rapture. (Which from the Screenshot looks like an upgraded version of FF11).
