And..., I'm back! As I log back in, I check up on both Paul and David to update their Gil totals for the end of June. I also, very happily, note that San d'Oria is in 1st place in Conquest - I can finally move Goldsmithing a little further forward.

On David, a Chakram that I must have sold 3 or 4 weeks ago finally has it's Gil deposited in my Delivery Box - I had forgotten all about this. I also move 12 silver beastcoins to synthesize into some ingots - I will now have enough to make a stack of them for sale shortly.

I log back into Wajaom Woods, of course, but there is little point in EXPing presently: I have no charges left on my EXP ring and I need to check out my equipment for BST 66. Therefore, I return to Al Zahbi - with a first place Conquest, there will be a lot to do this week.

Once back at Al Zahbi, I check for any more Gil from the AH and find 20,000 from the Chain Gorget sold last week. I finish June only 27,966 Gil up from May - an increase of just 0.21% (yes, I track this all). However, I have also spent a considerable amount of time leveling and have a much stronger THF now.

I start by synthing off my 12 beastcoins, gaining the necessary 3 silver ingots from this. I send these back to David, go and get a imperial bronze piece to re-open my Mog Locker to get all the fire crystals out then head off to Jeuno to see what a level 66 Beastmaster can use...


BST continues to still be relatively cheap as there is nothing new that I need. Although I do get hit quite hard when I have hate, this is normally just temporary because pets will always be so much more stronger. My primary focus must be on CHR, because a mis-charm is almost always fatal.

With nothing else to do, I have at least 50 minutes before my Chocobo race for this week, so I head off to San d'Oria and some Goldsmithing skill ups.


All set up at the Airship shop in Port San d'Oria:

Goldsmithing

Fire + 1 x mythril ingot = mythril sheet (41)

I have to drop a lot of Gil to make the synths but there is considerable profit in this, because the synth cannot be HQ'd. This will be a good synth to return to when in need of some Gil.

It takes about 16-17 synths to get up to level 41 and this synth is now capped. I head off to a Chocobo to gain some free EXP.


A time of 19 mins and 13 secs gains me 815 EXP which goes straight onto my BST - need to get out of buffer area as soon as possible. I warp back into Al Zahbi to contemplate my next move.


I am unable to do anything as a Besieged event is about to occur so I decide to get involved in this. At the height of battle, there are only 450 people in the event and it takes a long time, losing 3 of the 5 Generals in the process.

We win and I gain more IP and another 700 EXP. I am now 26,000 TNL and intend to make a start on this tomorrow.

For the moment, I decide to call it a night and start afresh with more Puks early in the day.
