A very solid and eventful couple of playing sessions have netted me some more improvements for mostly my BLU.
On Friday morning, I teamed up with an LS mate and duo'd some Gestalt in Escha - Zi'tah. We both were BLU and he used his trusts to make the fight pretty trivial. I set blank gaze and turned on Chainspell to prevent spikes from killing me. He pretty much couldn't touch us any other way.
We didn't get any drop on the first kill, but the second one dropped Rawhide Gloves. At first, I went a traditional DEX path with them, but you will see in a little while that I did not stick to that.
I had these screen shots taken before I turned in my Wyrmseeker. The first was one I just took to remind me of what I was almost done with (Nyzul tokens), and the 2nd one is right before I turned in the Wyrmseeker I wrote about on my last entry.
Now, my LS mate wrote me a nice message with his strategy for soloing Dawn II that worked pretty well for him on Normal. He's short a Gyve Doublet as well, so him & I did a couple runs of Dawn II. He has the necessary trusts to pull it off with Amchuchu, Apururu, Selh'teus, and Arciela (I, not II). The two of us made Normal look easy, finishing in 4 minutes 45 seconds. Unfortunately, no Gyve trousers or doublet. We tried twice again this morning, but again none.
I decided to switch to path D on the Rawhide gloves because it gives you 15 more magic accuracy, making them BIS for that on BLU. Before I switched that path, I tried to solo Dawn II but failed on 2nd form because stupidly I forgot Echo drops. Sudden Lunge was landing a bit more frequently, but not frequently enough for me.
Also this morning, another couple LS mates all needed Herculean Helms and we had one of our expert blue mages come out with us. We used Apururu and Amchuchu to round out the party, and we successfully killed Oryx 5 times, getting the helm to drop 3 times, which was enough for all that wanted it, including me!
When we went to augment them, I got pretty lucky on the 5th or 6th stone and got these augments:
I burned through quite a few more stones in hopes to get something even better, but this turned out to be the best I could get. It's solid no doubt, but still 1 less macc than my Assim. Keffiyeh +1. I will continue to pour Pellucid stones into this in hopes I can get INT, Macc, and MAB on the same attempt. Going to take a while I know, but I have nothing else at the moment to pour stones into.
Later I went CPing at portal 5 in Reisenjima. I have a pretty good flow and can get a rate of 15 JP per hour. It's not CP party worthy I know, but still nice to just snag a few when I have the time. I am working on my physical effect accuracy and now have 5 levels into it. Again, needing this for Dawn II to land Sudden Lunge more often.
I will continue to likely duo Dawn II and will of course write a nice post when I get either the legs or body, which would be 2nd best to Amalric.
Also since they wanted me to name them, thanks to Kaht and Shurakai for all your help these past few days!
