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: I'm done for the current moment with Woodworking and almost done with Alchemy (not sure on Key Items), which would be huge.  Cooky and Boney both need many more GPs in three different crafts, though.  But at least Cooky is done with skilling in Sandy, so I can earn GP for a few months.


 * Guild Points: These reflect my latest totals, as far as I can recall...
 * Alchemy: 185k/200k
 * Cooking: 75k/570k (3 +skill, Signboard, and Noodle Kneading)
 * Fishing: 0k/300k (Woody's next GP target)
 * Leathercraft: 68k/70k (Bonecraft mule)


 * Mules: I can haz mules.  Alchemy, Bonecraft and Cooking mules to be exact, which are not crafting their main crafts for particular reasons.  All are making decent progress at their current tasks, except Alchemy, which has reached 100+3 and I'm debating what to do with it, longer-term, while still earning GPs (currently considering Smithing 60+1 for him).

Moon-based Activities

 * Full Moon: If I'm on and can craft, this is usually the time.  However, only my Bonecraft mule is currently skilling on either Leathercraft or Bonecraft with limited inventory space, and while getting the last little bit of Guild Points for Tanner's Gloves.  Cooking is earning Guild Points, having reached a stopping point at Cooking-93 (Flounder Meuniere), so Guild Points and profit items to pay for Sweet Rice Cake hell.


 * New Moon: More likely to be Fishing While LFP (this needs its own acronym) than Campaiging While LFP (again, need acronym).

My good BESTEST-EVAR friend, Frekii, got his Ebisu Fishing Rod with 1/369 and 1/36 on Liks and Gugrusauruses, respectively. Having repaired one of his 3 Lu Shang's Fishing Rod constantly over the 6 month period that he has had them, I have asked for a loaner. So...Fishing now rocks (well, as much as it can at top levels where skill is very very rare)!

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 new Limbus LS, twice a week runs, but it remains to be seen what sort of DRG and BLM competition I'll have (being the two jobs which I want).
 * AF+1 Items in Storage: RDM x2, NIN, DNC x2, PUP x2, SAM x2, DRK x2, BLM, BRD x2, WHM, THF, DRG, COR, BST x2, RNG, BLU x2, SCH, SMN, MNK, WAR
 * ABCs: 103/??; still debating relative merits of a Loquacious Earring for my BLM/RDM, but I did get my Brutal Earring. There are some BLM AF+1 that look nice and my DRG has some pretty good AF+1 options, too.  I'm mostly waiting because I'm 1 item off upgrading each.

Itinerant Activities

 * Nyzul Isle: Formed a static, the group is SAM/NIN x2, WHM/SMN, COR/NIN, BST/NIN, and ???/??? (my DRG/SAM replaces my BST/NIN on Boss Runs); the sixth did not get caught in time, despite Herculean efforts.  Now, in process of finding a new one and/or letting an identified friend get his RDM up to where he can help...
 * Floors: 60
 * Tokens: 13k~ish

Merits
I've added DRG-based Merits in, much to my Chagrin...However, if I get into good MerPo parties, i.e. 15k+/hr, it'll be worth it it clear out all backlogged merits. Only fully-bought items are struck out:
 * HP/MP Merits: HP x4, MP x4 (Total Cost: 20 Merits)
 * Magic Skill Merits: Enfeebling Magic x8, Elemental Magic x8 (Total Cost: 42 Merits)
 * Other Merits: Enmity Down x4, Critical Hit Rate (Merit) x4 (Total Cost: 20 Merits)
 * Combat Skill Merits: Axe Skill x8, Polearm skill x8 (Total Cost: 42 Merits)
 * Beastmaster Group 1 Merits: Killer Effects x3, Call Beast x2, Sic x3, Reward x2 (Total Cost: 19 Merits)
 * Beastmaster Group 2 Merits: Feral Howl, Beast Affinity x5 (Total Cost: 25 Merits)
 * Black Mage Group 1 Merits: Magic Potency: Ice x5, Magic Potency: Thunder x5 (Total Cost: 30 Merits)
 * Black Mage Group 2 Merits: Flare II x2, Freeze II x3, Burst II x3, Tornado II x2 (Total Cost: 38 Merits)
 * Dragoon Group 1 Merits: High Jump Recast x4, Super Jump Recast x3, Spirit Link Recast x3 (Total Cost: 22 Merits)
 * Dragoon Group 2 Merits: Angon x5, Empathy x2, Deep Breathing x3 (Total Cost: 41 Merits)

Total Earned: 150 Total Wanted: 297 (*sob*)

This Week's Tentative Schedule

 * Saturday: Finish unlocking Synergy on my main character, maybe try some while LFP but mostly focusing on Meriting/Campaign.  Dunno if I should try some Fishing while LFP instead.  Possibly farming while leveling my Fellow.
 * Sunday: Dyna in morning, maybe (Asura Dyna Calendar is buggy atm). Crafting/Fishing/Meriting after that while I do RL Chores.  Nyzul group will have a shot at getting to 60 tonight as well.
 * Monday: GPs, then putting a mule out to Bazaar while I go on vacation.
 * Tuesday: Vacation, see ya!
 * Wednesday: See Tuesday.
 * Thursday: See Tuesday.
 * Friday: See Tuesday.

So, Xmas is upon us. All I want for Xmas is an unlimited supply of AF+1s, a ton of the new +Pet Items that collectively have drop-rates under 5%, and 200 merits. --Ctownwoody 16:55, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
