Great party

Black Mage:50 White Mage:50 Warrior:51 Thief:46

Well it has been a while since I have written anything so I thought I would add some of my recent experiences here. I was not able to get the RSE gear after all and since finding the Wonder Mitts for sale on AH was rare enough anyways and I found a set one day I decided to just buy the Mitts and forget the Clomps. The Noct Gaiters give +1 DEX anyway so I decided to take those instead of the clomps. Later on I started to really want to improve my equipment and the next two big things on the list were upgrading by two Balance Rings. But since I was lacking in the STR department I decided to buy one Puissance Ring and one Deft Ring and upgrade the Noct Gaiters to the ones that give DEX+2. I could still use my Federation Knife even now successfully but I found that Calveley's Dagger has +3 DEX and one more dmg, so even though it is only a smidgen better, it was dirt cheap so I bought it and am using it. I NEED the Hornet Needle but I have about as much chance of getting that as I did getting RSE gear by myself.

A great party setup for those that don't know which I only realized last night was a MNK MNK THF PLD RDM WHM party. We were at level 45 and were doing Soldiers Crawlers and Hornflies and were doing great. At one point the Rdm dc'd and while waiting for him to come back we chained 4 and got 260exp with 5 members! With those MNKs doing their Raging Fists and me doing SATA, we were eating mobs. The white mage pandora finally said ok only 3 more so just to show them we could I pulled a Hornfly, then a BLAZER BEETLE and we were fine. Then I pulled a MUSHUSSU scorp and we still kicked it's butt, at level 45! Then they said one more and then they used their two hour on the one more and got the exp chain on it. Man, that was a great party.
