I have one goal for this month:

Genkei 5 Maat fight.

[Striveldt]

you have to fight maat solo right?

my goals for january are to pop on every now and again since my connection isn't as terrible at school as it used to be and do some cooking/farming. just make some money for when summer comes around.

[Jennn]

My goals for January are to get/complete:

- Avatar: Leviathan
- Get Rank 10
- ZM5
- WHM to 65

[Stargasior]

Striveldt: Yes i do.

Jennn: Rank 9 already? o.O

[Ikonic]

It's very easy for a WHM (or RDM for that matter) to get rank 10. You guys get the easy invites. Try being a melee and see how fast you advance. I lvl'd THF these past 3 days and managed to get 7 invites over about 30 hours of time. 5 invites disbanded before the first fight, 1 invite disbanded after 1200 xp, and the last invite I had to leave for BCNM40, but I did managed to go from lvl 27 to 30 with that pt. Oh, and as for putting my own pt together? Difficult to do when at most there was one mage seeking and not always a tank. (And that mage was a RDM. Mind you this is in the lvl 27-30 range.)

[Striveldt]

i'm sorry, is this the 'Ikonic gets to complain about his job' thread?

[Ikonic]

Actually, yes. Yes, it is.

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to.

I was just explaining why it's so easy for certain jobs to get to rank 10. Hell, I've debated about taking WHM to 75 and then lvl'ing up my other jobs. I mean I'm good enough at it. I had a network of people who'd leave their current pt's if I decided to build one, it's just I so much would rather be able to lvl MNK.

[Sicarius]

I'm with Ik on this one, melee jobs are a pain to raise and get invites with. The only melee job that might not be so bad to raise would be PLD in my opinion.

[Jennn]

Ikonic, yes, I agree it is much easier for a white mage to get Rank 10 than a melee. However, I do want to note that for most of my Rank missions, I planned, organized, and filled the party/alliance with people.

As with a lot of adventures that I undertake, I research it and then find people who also need it. I try to make my adventures a Win-Win for everyone meaning that I try very hard to find people who need what ever mission/quest I am doing instead of simply enlisting my high level friends.

[Kraion]

1. Get Thief to 45 (Currently 38 @ 2k)
2. Get Summoner to 10 (7) Canceled
3. Do Thief AF1 Done.
4. Get 100k so i can buy noct gaiters +1 (60k) Done

Hmmm. I think thats about all i want for this month if i could get partys maybe it could happen...
idk why but my intest in summoner has been killed so quickly so cancell the second goal so i only got one left.

[Stilgar]

I have but 3 goals:

1. Get Rank 5
2. Unlock Pld
3. Level Monk to 50

If anyone is free this Saturday to help with the first 2, it would be much appreciated.

[Valhallodin]

THF-> 35...? Just tack some levels onto THF
NIN->20-25. If I could, I would avoid NIN forever. But I can't.
RNG->15-20.
Mission 5-2 (Rank 6!)
Help out

I'd really like to start wearing things that people on the LS have made. If you have a high level craft, please let me know. I will be happy to buy you the supplies, and pay a little more to cover the cost of the HQ crystal. I will try to make up a list of the things I will be needing for THF over the next 20 levels or so, as well as the crafts and levels required.

Ok. So I doubt I will be able to really accomplish all of those by the end of the month, but they are kind of my immediate goals. I figure I will pop on SAM from time to time and maybe grind out a half level here and there...if I can ever get invites lol.

And Stil, I would love to help with Rank 5 this weekend if at all possible. I might not be much help for Oztroja or Davoi, but I can whoop some Quadav arse in Beadeaux when that time comes.

High Priority:

-- mnk => from lvl39 to lvl42.Now reached to 43
I'd mainly level my mnk on Saturdays & Sundays. It's hard to find party in my time zone (Asia) during weekdays. {I don't speak any Japanese!}

-- Start crafting.Just lvl 3 cooking only, following Ikonic's cooking guide
I want to build up a relatively stable source of income. I am still looking which craft skill should I start.

-- thf => from lvl2 to lvl10.already in mid lvl9
Never trained this job before. I hope I can train it up to at least lvl15 for "Treasure Hunt" by the end of Feb.


-- Low priority:
-- Level my war.Now reached to 23
Now, it is only lvl20. I have to keep it update to make sure my main job - mnk - can be well performed with sub job - war.

-- Level my whm from lvl34 to lvl36 and get my "teleport driver license".[/s]given up....
With Sneak, Invisible & warp, my whm/blm job is mainly for my non-fighting adventures or quests. If I can have teleport ability, it'd be more convenient.

Additionally, I started to get the "Paper" for Genkai 1. The first time I went with Wiliam, Lok, Mungo, Requieas & a PLD - Khael. We could only get 1 for the PLD and the party was disbanded. When I came back Jeuno, I saw a mnk60 friend who had helped me on the subjob quest (skull) long time ago. He told me he can help me with his friends at few hours later because he was going to deliver a Raging Fists to the Shadowlord. We started the trip and went there thru Ranguemont Pass ...... and finally, I got the "Paper" ;D
The most funny was all melees were Monk in the pt. It is just a Monks' club. I've learnt much on Monk's job from them.
