Hi guys! Time to catch up on a bunch of stuff that has happened since late July.
October is usually the busiest month here with the games I play running their annual Halloween events. In particular, the contracts from Team Fortress 2 is a diabolical time sink and they get worse by the year. But I digress. With these tasks done, I should be able to start working on next year's Galidor blogpost. That said, I can only occasionally work on it as I'm too exhausted from all kinds of things. But give it some time and it'll be ready before you know it.
Now, let's talk about the latest achievements. Exactly two months ago, I've reached Level 289. As of today, I'm already past 66%! With the current event providing plenty of VIP Boosters, 3x EXP coupons and Advanced EXP Vouchers, I'm expecting to reach Level 290 next month. There's going to be another major milestone in November as well.
As for 6th Job, I've maxed out Incising VI and Aura Blade VI. What's left are Spirit Caliber and Silent Cleave. After that, I'll bank my Sol Erda (Fragments) and start upgrading my Union Champions. I'm currently at a minimum of two billion mesos each week, which can buy a lot of progress. I have enough to purchase one of the Limbo/Baldrix Eternals, but I'd rather wait for lower prices as they have been declining in value for a while. Folks can't get them sold, y'know.
Speaking of equipment: all of the essentials have Legendary Potential. There's still a handful of Additional Potential left to rank up, as that's limited by events because we aren't allowed to have proper updates. Eh, it's just a matter of time.
I should be able to solo Black Mage and Hard Seren now, but at the moment I can't be arsed. I'll do those next year.
Union progress has been going surprisingly well. I got lucky with finding a large number of Pitched Boss this year, so my Wild Hunter is coming along nicely. I'd rather not buy gear from Auction House because I can source most of these myself. Union Champions is really a long-term thing, and I treat it as such. As for Union levels, I've reached 9500+ and my Marksman and Bowmaster are Level 260. Sia from Challenger World got past Level 250. Thanks, I hate this class.
Anyway, I've procrastinated enough. Now that my schedule's free, I'll be spending the next three weeks contacting everyone to get their accounts unflagged, as discussed last month. To be honest, I'm dreading some conversations I'll be having (not everyone was on board last time), but the alternative (doing nothing) is much worse... Well, off I go.
That's it for today - I'll see you guys again next post!
