Doing Grown Woman Stuff

It's been about 2 weeks since I last posted. Work, taxes & XIV has kept me busy. Not to mention I've also been reading a lot during the times I usually write (during subway ride). I have haven't done any extremely OMG spectacular but I've been progressing.

I finally married my hubby on game. I posted our wedding pictures as well as my hubby. SE is awesome. All the details they put into the game is amazing. The wedding was beautifully done.

I have been working on getting Poetics so I can upgrade my gear. I am saving for body piece 1st (unless I get a ST drop) and then weapon 2nd. Currently my Item Level (ilvl) is 81. It needs to be like 120+. I am a bit squishy in dungeons & etc.

This is my daily routine now:
1. Mini Cacpot draw
2. Sign up for Frontline Roulette (in progress must be checked)
3. Do my beast tribe quests (currenyly working on Amalja and Kobolds).
4. Sign up for Syrcus Tower (this is newly add task)
5. Main Story Quests
6. Hildabrand Quests
This routine us standard in order that I do things and may differ slightly depending on wait times and times I'm available to play.

I have reached just over halfway mark on level 2 of my beast tribe quests for both the Kobolds & Amalja. At level 1, I liked the Amalja better. Now as level 2, I like the Kobolds better. It all now depends on location for me. I able a person who can get lost even though I have a marker showing me where the destination is. My sense of direction can be easily thrown off. Just call me Ryoga.

I now have done Syrcus Tower twice. My gear hasn't dropped at all. I did get tomb, oil and other gear that I can trade for seals. The run is not that bad actually. I'm still not clear on the ice, thunder and fire orbs in one fight. My second run I got all three on me. My first run, I didn't. I died more times in 2nd run too. I'll be less squishy when I get better gear. I think I also need to figure a way to get more HP. I'm in the 3000s I think. Maybe that'll come with the better gear.

Lately all my quests besides Main Story and Hildebrand have me unlocking Trials and Dungeons. I finally did Hullbreaker Isle. I actually got a ilvl 100 head piece there. Woo hoo my 1st high dungeon gear drop piece. I also opened Battle on the Bridge and did that fight. It was fun and funny. I ended up getting the Gilgamesh & Eniko TT card too. Awesome!!! I also did King Mog trial too. It was a nice scenic fight.

Currently my Main Scenario quests have to do with Yugiri. I wonder how long it's going to take to get me to Leviathan and then Shiva. I want to at least finish main scenarios before 3.0 comes out. I know Yugiri is an Au'ra race which we will see more of in 3.0. They should just unmask her anyway. There's other races in game we can't play as, like Kann-E (chic from Gridania with crown, don't remember name).

I am loving the Hildabrand quests. Need I say more. I want him as a minion. My very own Hildabrand. Wonder how you get him. I know you get the Green chicken in one of thd fights in this story line. Lol. These quests are awesome.

Here are some pics:

This is me currently.

She says King Mog is bad.

Does he look bad to you?

Anyways, we took care if the situation.

Look at me and hubby. We got our Level 90 version of our relic.

Evil men are just so arrogant. Lol.

The one and only.

P.S. I will be cross posting some of my these posts on XIV's Lodestone.

My FC helped me out with completing the Second Binding Coil last night. Going into Turn 9 with nothing but watching a video for guidance, it was rather tricky. Luckily the FC had a voice chat going and was very good about directing the fight. I owe getting this stuff done to them, T5 and T9 are absolute nightmares in duty finder.

Now it's on to Final Coil. With just over 3 months left until the expansion, it's looking hopeful this will be complete to start Heavensward. Now if I can just finish Sightseeing; the true end-game.

Married

Tiger and I got married last weekend. We were joined by some friends from the game and the FC. They all made it a great time and the eternal bonding ceremony is pretty nice.

Our Wedding - Tiger's Version

So Magus and I got married today. Wedding was small and intimate. It was a good time. Now we are married in game and real life. Nice feeling. We finally accomplished this together. And as ever, the ceremony was gorgeous. Square Enix knows how to put on a wedding.

Here are our pictures:

This has been a wonderful experience. Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Extreme Primals Complete, On to Coil

I finished up all the extreme primals. The Shiva pony dropped but my roll wasn't good so no luck getting it the first shot. Now that all the extreme primals are done, I'll possibly farm them at some point. I'd like to collect the mounts, I'm 0/7 on those.

First Coil is also complete. I tried for weeks to do T5 in Duty Finder with no luck. Best I saw done was half way through phase 4. The FC took several people that needed it so we did a quick run through. Voice chat really helps on these. I should be able to get through Second Coil before 3.0 hits, and if I'm lucky, Final Coil. The FC wants to get people through to get them to raid level. Come 3.0, I'm most likely going to get with a static group to keep up on content.

Today's the wedding too. I tried to buy a cake for TK and I at the store but she shot me down. I told her we can't have a wedding without cake. I ended up leaving the store with a box of Lucky Charms and stuff to make tacos instead. That was the best I could do.

Arum F'in Vale

It's been a little while since I last posted. A lot has happened. Let's see if I remember the details.

Getting married: So hubby (Magus) and I have finally set a date for our wedding. See his post prior to this one. We have done all the quests and have been giving out invites. Yay! The day is approaching fast.

Main Story Quests: I have finished the Garlean main story quests. Now I am working on the Ascian/Allegian main story quests. I am stuck on this because I need to do a dungeon but I can't because I haven't done Arum Vale (AV). Bah.

Quests: Magus has been a very supportive, excited and direct hubby now that I have hit level 50. He has me taking on every quest I have encountered. So of these quests have opened Labrynth of the Ancients and some hard mode dungeons and some new ones. However, I'm stuck from doing some of them because of AV. This is a pain. AV is a side dungeon. It shouldn't hold up main story. I also started the Hildebrand quests because I heard the story is hilarious. I even annoyed hubby because I went to complete a quest and he wanted me to concentrate on opening Crystal Tower so I can get better gear. Lol. I also started Relic quest. I have 15/30 quests open.

Dungeons, Trials etc: Like I said I have finished 1st Main Story, so I finally defeated Ultima Weapon. I have done Labrynth of the Ancients (didn't get any gear). I finally did Dzamel Darhkold dungeon. It wasn't so bad. Heard AV is a pain in the ass. I got up to first boss before it all went to hell and duty was abandoned. I have so many quests open now that require me to do a dungeon. I am not looking forward to the dungeons. But I'm stuck because of A F'in V. Some I can do but waiting for weekend.

Randomness:
I didn't take many pictures this week. I've been running around getting stuck in cut scene after cut scene or in middle of messy fights that were new to me.

I bought a bunch of minions this week too. I feel good about that. It satisfies the Pokemon collector in me.

I'm getting my gear up slowly. Need soldiery etc (which I usually get from doing beastmen quests). Hubby said a quick way to get them is doing Frontlines (PvP). It's a very small type of it. It's mostly grand company vs grand company. I'm not much of a PvP fan but I put it on my daily to do list. It only takes 10 mins. One thing I can say about Frontlines. I HATE F'IN PALADINS!!! They love to target me. I hate them. The Paladin enemies we encounter in the wild are not such a pain in the ASS!!!! Anyway, I'm calm now. Just you wait PLD's until I get properly geared. I'm going to kick some ass!!!

Overall I had a relatively good time this past week.

Here are what pics I have taken:
