Patch 2.35. Some other new things. Read more.

Sold some things. Earned a hefty sum.

Used said money to meld up a new crafting necklace. Took some work, but it replaces the Electrum Choker that was the old best-in-slot.

Brought Carpenter into 3-star range (without Artisan Tool) with food and the Free Company Control buff. Crafted the harpsichord I always wanted.

Made another harpsichord and a cello to offset the money used to meld and craft. They sell. Rake in plenty of profits.

Got Allagan Tunic of Healing for glamours. New cosmetic, change of pace from what was being used before.

Burgeoning Dread (FFXI cross-over quest and event) started today. Got around to actually doing it this time around. Just got a collectible minion.

Ixal Beast Tribe dailies don’t seem too bad. At some point they give i70 crafting gloves – stat-wise, they lose 3 CP but gain 3 control compared to the i55 class gloves after melds. A considerable save in Gil, but i95 HQ Primal Weapon crafting apparently requires exactly 398 CP after food for a chance at successful HQ synthesis.

Progression with full 8/8 should be starting tomorrow, August 20.
