User:Ctownwoody/Current Activities

This is an on-going, completely fluid assessment of what I am doing. Typically, I change the order, priority, etc, week-to-week, and will try to focus on some activities on a daily basis.

Daily Activities

 * Check AH: I tried to have a narrow list but having 3 pure crafting mules makes it hard to do that, especially when there are some nifty new items out there, and I need major profits, while getting Guild Points in 3 crafts...
 * Guild Point Item Materials: Cooky is the only person with a deep and serious need for GPs that can get them, at the moment.
 * Bonecraft Unstackables: Giant Femurs and Crab Shells.  This is what makes Bonecraft so tedious to skill: the heavy use of unstackable items.  If all the materials stacked, this would be the third or fourth easiest craft to skill to 60+.


 * Guild Points: These reflect my latest totals, as far as I can recall...
 * Alchemy: 57k/90k (Smithing for +1 Gloves, Sheeting, and Chainwork )
 * Cooking: 123k/570k (3 +skill items(#s 2-4), Signboard(#1), and Noodle Kneading(last))
 * Fishing: 0k/300k (Woody's next GP target)
 * Bonecraft: 6k/570k (Bonecraft mule, still finishing Leathercraft to 60+1)


 * Mules: I can haz mules.  Alchemy, Bonecraft and Cooking mules to be exact, which are not crafting their main crafts for particular reasons.
 * Alchemy is at 100+3 but is working on Smithng 60+1, before going after Goldsmithing and Leathercraft skill. Possibly also earning some Clothcraft and Goldsmithing Key Items.
 * Cooking is about done with his supplies for Jeuno-based crafts, so I am shifting him to Bastok for Cream Puffs and Yellow Curry Buns, maybe a shift from there back to Windy to re-do the Pizza Supplies needed for another amazing 600k+ profit run.
 * Bonecraft has gotten his Leathercraft to 60+1, with a Key Item. He's only in the mid-30s, which is the first hard spot for Bonecraft, due to the use of unstackables; supply, not cost, becomes the drag now.  He's started GPs but only barely/just because of the low skill, the GP items also use unstackables, and use so much Sheep Leather that I need to lay in a cheap supply (either desynthing or straight up synthing).

Moon-based Activities

 * Full Moon: If I'm on and can craft, this is usually the time.  My Bonecraft mule is in the middle of a stretch of Bonecraft where unstackable materials is the rate-limiting factor.  Alchemy mule will get back into crafting for skill when he gets his Smithy's Mitts; then, it'll either be Goldsmithing to 50~ish or Leathercraft to 60.  I see no point in raising his Clothcraft above 53 to 60, or getting his Goldsmithing all the way to 60.

Weekly Activites

 * Campaign Stuff: I'm almost at the point where my two choices for LFP are now at Campaign Battle while LFP or Fishing while LFP...I guess it'll depend on my TNL and whether I want to hike to Nashmau vs. Retrace...


 * Limbus Raiding: I have a great Limbus LS, twice a week runs, very *very* professional crew with low drama and able to take down Proto-Omega and Proto-Ultima.  However, despite the only person wanting BLM AF+1s, there are 7 (*seven*) people wanting DRG AF+1s...
 * AF+1 Items in Storage: RDM x2, NIN x2, DNC x2, PUP x2, SAM x2, DRK x2, BRD x2, WHM, THF, DRG, COR x2, BST x2, RNG, BLU x2, SCH x2, SMN, MNK x2, WAR x2, BLM, PLD
 * ABCs: 121. At this point, I almost never see a run where an AF+1 item drops that I don't have, but I'm saving up for when SAM hits 75, cuz there are 2-3 AF+1s I want (starting with hands) and I want at least the AF+1 Hands and Legs for DRG.  Homam pants for DRG would be great, if that's possible.

Itinerant Activities

 * Nyzul Isle: Re-formed a static with 3 friends wanting boss drops, the group is SAM or MNK, SAM/NIN, WHM or BRD, my DRG/SAM, and a 4-job having Taru, plus a TH4 THF wanting Tokens for a Mythic Weapon.  We are now 9/9 with the TH4 or a rep for him, including a 4/4 Sunday of 100s.  The word is out: doubt the THF's TH4 and I will cut you...I'll cut you so bad...you no wanna me to cut you no more...(h/t Family Guy)
 * Floors: 100
 * Tokens: 22k~ish
 * Static Items: 9/14

This Week's Tentative Schedule
FYI-I use Vana'diel Clock to keep the schedule, based on Moon Phase for crafting.
 * Saturday: Cooking in Bastok, Alchemy in Mhuara (Fewell) and Jeuno (misc profit).  Also, rebuffering BLM and/or leveling SAM.  If I get SAM to 50+ and BLM rebuffered, and still have time before limbus, I might try to get the interior sea maps.  Oh, and a major RL Cooking experiment.
 * Sunday: Dyan-Bsstok in morning, Nyzul at night, followed by sea if I'm not passed out.  In between chores and exercise.  Cooking will be back in Jeuno and others will be churning out GPs.
 * Monday: LFP as SAM (if not 50+) or MNK.  MNK/DNC will be soloing in between, for Tabs cuz I'm running low.  GP/sellables with mules.
 * Tuesday: See Monday.
 * Wednesday: Limbus: Hopefully, we'll be able to dual-tower to get another Omega set together (we farmed 2 on Omega).  Mule-GPs as well.
 * Thursday: See Tuesday.
 * Friday: Sea.

Back to grinding a main job again. Well, techinically, 2 main jobs. I'm getting my SAM and MNK to 50, which is where I judge that their gears diverge enough for me to change them up. --Ctownwoody 16:34, March 13, 2010 (UTC)
