Black Mage does a Promy

Black Mage:56 White Mage:51 Warrior:56 Thief:64

I dusted off the ole BLM two days ago when I used him to try to do the Promyvion-Mea quest for Chains of Promathia. We had a decent time getting to the end but once we got there the Mega Boss was close to impossible to beat. We had a WAR WAR THF SMN WHM and me, the BLM, in our party and we still had a tough time keeping the tank alive after the monster did its Area of Effect(AOE) attack on us. We all died 3 times.

Yesterday just as I was waking up I got an invite to party as BLM so I decided to go ahead with it since I wanted to get back some of the exp poins that I had lost last night doing the Promy. It was just me and the PLD at first and it was not going well while we were lfg but eventually he asked me to take leader. By that time we had BLM BLM PLD DRK so the last two we needed were a DD and a WHM. But when I finally got a hold of a WHM, who was JP slightly, she sed she and a BLM were a set so I sed OK to the offer since we were going to King Ranperre's Tomb(KRT) and didn't need a dispeller. So we go with 3 BLMs a WHM a DRK and a PLD. We had a good time of it too. Didn't mess up on the way to the Armet Beetle camp. And we exp'd for a good while doing just fine with me doin Ancient Magic(AM) every so often cuz I could afford to. Unfortunately, one of the BLMs fell asleep. I got a nice picture of all of us poking her... it was a group poke, lol. The party there was still fun though just not so palatable since one of the members was asleep. So when we got a replacement, which luckily for us was a BRD who could dispel, we decided it was time to move the camp to Cape Terrigan.

Not a bad camp really but what was bad was the journey there. We waited a while at the zone to Kuftal Tunnel for the Bard to come. However, while waiting, the BLM and his girl the WHM(the set) decided to leave. so I set out to find a replacement for them as well. After a while I got a WHM and THF to replace them and we were set to go.

Well we had some political problems with who thought what and where we should party, so the THF had to go. It's always a hassle being leader sometimes. Especially when you are the BLM that has to give people a Warp 2 home. I direct everyone to the beach at Cape Terrigan and Sneak everyone then the THF, Rank 10, starts to have second doubts about whether we should go there cuz some of the members levels are low, I know what it's like to be in party, have great gear, and start missing the mobs like you got your fishing gear on or something. So, in an effort to show some respect, I tell them that we will stop and do Robber Crabs in Kuftal Tunnel at the zone for a while till the party gets tuned. Well, then he starts asking for Warp 2 since "it was clear we had no idea what we were doing". Well I didn't give it to him. I told him he would have to party for 5 min and then I would do it. I wanted to show him that Robber Crabs weren't going to excessively gimp the exp but he just kept harping "Warp2 plz" over and over and got himself a replacement and when it was clear I wasn't going to immediately do it, he went and got aggro and killed himself on some Robbers. What a jerk!

Soon, his replacement arrives and just then, when we get ready to party, it's about 7pm and then it's time to go play darts. Well it was Tuesday! So basically I got a really nice group together, worked hard with several members, all so THEY could party for a while. Oh well.

I got some good practice in with my BLM while I was in KRT and made good use of my AF gear too. It's great! I did Ancient Magic(AM) and the mob didn't even budge. It was too cool sometimes. Plus I made good use of my Dark Staff that cost me so much gil.

It wasn't a lot of experience points, but I had a good time.
