Another week of resets. Read more.
Indirectly learned today why “I’ll just roll on x loot because you’ll probably lose it [due to your low roll] anyway” is a bad idea.
Its not too bad considering it went to a static member rather than a random party member, but the Syrcus Tower grind could have easily been resolved and dealt with, aside from the weekly Oil loot.
Jumped into a Titan Extreme Mode through Party Finder. Misread, thought it was a clear party, turned out to be a semi-learning, semi-clear party. Don’t even know what that means; you’re either one or the other. Jumped shark after four wipes, two of which didn’t trigger Echo.
Joined a Turn 6 group through Party Finder. Turned out it was a 6/8 Accel static. First try, WHM ate Blighted Bouquet, took a Resurrection, and died again to something. Was out of Aetherflow at the time, so I couldn’t handle healing both tanks while Swiftcast-Resurrection was still on cool-down. WHM also released. Retard.
Second attempt had me dying to vines during Phase 3. WHM brought me up, only for me to come back to a Leafstorm and die. Didn’t expect a Raise. Seemed fine though; Rafflesia was at 6%, melee-LB brought her to about 3%, and then..
Didn’t particularly feel like sticking around with this party. Their names were vomit-inducing.
Did Frontlines; needed some more Wolf Marks having spent most of them on accessories for GSM desynthesis. Got the i70 Boots of Healing. Seems to be the glamours I had been looking for.
Refined all the Cashmere Fleece I had, then bought Scheelite to make Wolfram Ingots. Had the brilliant idea of crafting a Cashmere Robe of Casting with a couple of the HQ Cashmere Cloth I had leftover before filling up retainer to full.
Then had the second spark of inspiration to craft an Augmented Cashmere Robe of Casting; planned to use two of the three NQ Cashmere Cloths I had crafted, as crafting a HQ result is a smaller priority than actually finishing the craft.
Almost screwed up in the end when I miscalculated and was short CP for an Ingenuity II into Careful Synthesis II finish, and I had risked a gamble on a Great Strides Byregot’s after I hit an Excellent proc with some eight stacks of Inner Quiet.
For reference, Careful Synthesis II with Ingenuity II gives roughly 71 or so progress. 100% HQ result, just have to wait for the sales, then I’ll be up more Gil again.
