New Year, Same Claims

So much has gone on the first week of 09. We got a Ridill, we went 8/9 in claims over a 3 day period picking up:

• Aspi
• Adamantoise
• Fafnir
• Nidhogg
• Behemoth
• Tiamat
• Cerberus
• Khimaira

We only missed one NQ Behemoth yesterday. One of the Fafnir's was a double drop Aq Abj: Feet so I ended up with one. That puts me currently at 5 cursed abjs I have in storage.

Also I've taken up crafting. I'm fully aware that in crafting most of the money you put in to get high level never sees any returns... so if you pump 10M into clothcraft, rarely will you get back more than 10M in returns, thus preventing any profit. Still, it won't cost me much as a cook or a fisherman to get up there in levels so it won't take alot of sales to get me out of the red. People always buy food, and most of the time it's sushi. As evidenced by my last post I started fishing on Maller, but recently I began cooking on my Galkan mule, Mallet. since he doesn't need any job levels to skill up.

Putting in a couple of hours a day on each craft has been easy and its obvious that cooking is way faster, even if fishing is way cheaper. I was able to fish up about 500 or so Moat Carp and get to level 10ish. On the flip side I got my mule to level 42 in the same period of time. Mostly on cheap synths like bug broth, selbina butter, baked popoto, insect balls ($$), and fish broth.

Hopefully by early March I'll near 100 or so, turning in all my guild points for the apron, hat, and other items. Fishing may take a bit longer at this pace though... I think I'm around 497/10,000 for Lu Shang's but since Moat Carps cap at 56, I'll be fishing those until I either cap or get that damn Lu.

Some final other bits of info before I sign off. We did 3 Jailer of Love runs and ended up with three Love Torques, two Novia Earrings, and one Novio Earring (grats Nya!). I managed to finagle a Love Halberd from JoL as well so I think I may be doing some much needed skillup on polearm for Salvage.

What else.. what else... Hmm.. Need to do some BCNM and KSNM runs soon...

I think that's about all I got right now. HNMs are starting to open at the wee morning hours of 7am-9am EST so I may get a day or two more of camping and then they're gonna be during work hours, so that kinda stinks. Also I joined a somewhat static party for Nyzul Isle so hopefully I'll be climbing them floors and getting that elusive Askar gear for my SAM.

Well, until next time...
