Weekend Report
I had a very busy FFXI weekend that provided great results in Salvage, lots of experience on my warrior, and an asortment of other useful stuff. Friday night we did gods in Tu'lia. Unfortunetly nothing good dropped. I've been looking for a Genbu shield for a few weeks now, but it doesn't seem to want to drop. Other than that we did the other three and nothing good dropped.
Salvage followed gods and turned out to be great. Unfortunetly the treasure hunters and astrologers failed to drop anything and we almost wiped to the soulflayer for nothing! The archaic chariot made it all up though. The fight went mostly smooth and we ended up getting Hikazu Hakama and Freya's Ledelsens! Fortunetly neither went to waste. Backbone, who got the hakama, is the only regular person who attends additional runs regularly with Usukane as his selected set, so we do not have to kill the chariot as often now. Hopefully this will free up more time to kill the soulflayer, bhoot, and try and figure out how to spawn the sixth floor treasure hunters.
After Salvage I went exping with mostly linkshell members and stayed up way too late for exp, but I got a few merits out of it. I think our highest chain was sixty or so. The colibri camps were taken, so we suffered in Bhaflau Thickets on mamool and puks.
Saturday we ended up doing Temenos Central 3 to finish off a set of chips for Ultima. This was boring, but fast to make up for it. Later in the night I did Bahamut 2 with Kaboom. I haven't done an event with Kaboom in a long time, so it was nice to do Bahamut again, but unfortunetly we didn't make any money. The drops were very bad.
Kaboom was slow to start Bahamut. We were suppose to start at 8:00pm est and I had Salvage scheduled for 9:30pm est. This should have been more than enough time to finish Bahamut and be ready for Salvage. Unsurprisingly Kaboom was slow to start and we didn't finish until after 10:15pm est, delaying Salvage. After waiting for some people to get ready for Salvage we entered and everything went fine until we got to the soulflayer. I forgot to bring someone who can stun, and a blizzaga got off despite people have tp to stun. Between that and two people not paying attention to me when I give them an order the rest of the run went very sloppy.
This isn't the first time either of them have ignored or questioned my orders during Salvage. This will drop them on priority for cells until I require them to tank again. We'll see if they are capable of that in a few weeks or months.
Sunday was focused on gaining another fifteen floors for Nivlakian in Nyzul Isle Assault. Fafnir was on floor forty, but failed to drop anything for us. We also did our second last Second Lieutenant Assault. Only the Lebros one left now...
A few hours later more Salvage! Soulflayer dropped Macha's Crown for Nachtskye. I wanted the crown, but this puts me in first place for Macha's Coat!
