Moving Right Along

I've been getting stuff done this past month; considering it's the summer, which is the time of the year in which I'm most able to do so, this isn't surprising.

- BLM73, *almost* 74. Takes long enough. Pudding groups with Lordblackcat and Miathyi are great XP when I can stay longer than half an hour, which is less often than I expected; something *always* seems to come up RL which forces me to leave. I can get 74 now off a couple hours of Campaign or Qiqirn Poulterer soloing though.

- SMN60. Massive improvement. I finished getting SMN to 30 when we started the new mission shell, so I could use it for Promyvion. After our successful run there, LBC asked if I could go SMN to the Phomiuna Aqueducts/Riverne Site #A01 run (which still hasn't occured, since there's always someone - sometimes me, sometimes Moriar - who can't make it) so Zoioshi helped me level it to 40. Just kept going from there. Also got Fenrir after a load of major headaches with it. Just need Diabolos and three spirits now, and I'm done with "spells" for the job.

- Regained my Brass Wings of Service. This occured last night - my absences from Vana'diel were punctuated by me refreshing my campaign medal, as I may have mentioned earlier (if not, oh well) which was foolish, since that meant I lost two medals instead of one and had to work my way back up. Well I'm finally done regaining what I lost before, now it's time to move on to new territory. I'll probably get BLM74 from Campaign in the process of getting my next medal, even. No complaints there.

- Started the new miniexpansion, "A Moogle Kupo d'Etat." It's... much less serious than "A Crystalline Prophecy" (which I have yet to finish, though I'm on the final fight) and is apparently a decent bit easier to complete, though I'm not very far in it yet.

- Got a bunch of Dynamis wins. Every non-CoP zone except Xarcabard. Also got a freelot Argute Gown (Scholar body) from Dynamis - Beaucedine (my Scholar being level 7, this isn't very useful considering it's a level 74 piece) and half-cost Summoner's Bracers (Summoner hands) from last night's Dynamis - Bastok. The hands are very, very nice, and I can't wait until my Summoner can use them. Too bad no Sorcerer's Tonban (Black Mage pants) dropped on that run too, I'd've probably gotten it. And those aren't shabby either.
