When I was done with that I saw a CP PT shout for a GEO. It was still pretty early, so I joined. I figured even if it was a crappy party, I only needed ~65 JPs to get to master. Since people are allowed to use JPs to upgrade/augment REMA and Dynamis [D] weapons/accessories, we got a REMA Master COR. Pretty sure we had RUN, COR, SCH, BLM, SMN, GEO. The BLM actually pulled most of the night, which was pretty nice as I got to sit tight and just let my bubbles do their thing. The SCH would stun-ga, the BLM would sleepga and breakga, and I would just bind/grav/etc to tag mobs. I don't know what the SMN was doing because most of the time the mob was dead after the SC. Occassionally the BLM would get a MB in. In any case, it was very fun and productive. The PT lasted a little over an hour and I walked out with 185 JPs. Enough to get master and 110 to spare. Feels good, man.
After, Braego and I hit up AMAN Trove a few times. First time, I got opened 5 boxes (a mix of noises and thuds) and then decided I shouldn't press my luck. I got a couple of +1 alluvion skirmish stone pouches, a couple of sellable drops (Pil's Tuille, Macuil Plating). He went and had similar luck. He got 4 or 5 boxes of noises/thuds, then exited. He got a alluvion skrimish stone +1 pouch, a fern pouch, and the Naga Hakama to use on his MNK. We tried again, but both ended up getting the mimic. He was ~5 boxes in before he got the mimic. I had checked 7 boxes before I got mine. Maybe I need to change my strategy? I mean, I'm really only interested in the Omen/Reisenjima drops. As far as I know, they only come from loud thuds. My strategy has been to open until I get a loud thud and then exit. Most of the drops that come from the regular thud or noise tend to be from high-tier battlefields or escha zones. I've already collected most of the gear from those zones that I'm interested in. But it is still really hard to walk away from 7+ spoils. I've got a few more vouchers that I can get on Truece, and still have 2 or 3 orbs that I can use on Trutaru. Hopefully I won't have to make any decisions about if I should leave or not because I'll actually see a loud thud!
This month, the login campaign has Empy boss drops for 1000 login points. I should be able to buy the last of the Apedemak Horns that I need for Daurdabla. I haven't started on the colorless souls/iron plates yet, but that should go pretty quick. I regret not participating more in last month's VW campaign. I could really use the heavy metal plates; I'll need 1500 of them and 60 riftcinders to become a 4-song BRD. I will have a few login points left over, maybe I'll look into collecting items for another empy (Almace or Ukon?).
Until next time!
