Here SUB, come here SUB

Black Mage:56 White Mage:51 Warrior:56 Thief:66

I use my Dark Staff with my THF/BLM so that I can save time when healing but today I decided to go ahead with the dagger and take out the NPC in Rabao. I figured I would skip using the staff and just hunt Desert Spiders for exp. It went fine but after a while we ran out of monsters and had to start hiking up and down the desert looking for more mobs. It seems a lot of people like to use Rabao to level their NPCs cuz I saw a lot of em out there. I was hoping to finish with the NPC and then go fish in Rabao but then I got a party invite from a THF to go exp in Bibiki Bay. I used warp and left my NPC standing there in the middle of the desert. I hope she is all right.

We had a good time today in Bibiki Bay. Surprisingly we still get good exp from birds and gobs and I have to tell you that I don't mind stealing the occassional Gold Beastcoin from those gobs either. :)

We still have a tough time with the Catoblepas though. It is especially hard for me being as short as I am in the game, to line up Sneak Attack and Trick Attack on them because they are so tall. They have a boatload of hit points too.

We started out doing ok with skillchains since the leader was a good guy and asked me which skillchain I wanted. Since he had his Scythe out, I remembered that I had difficulty with Tiduss finding a skillchain so I went with Guillotine > Shadowstitch for Fragmentation. It was not a bad skillchain and the guys were doin pretty good at holding it together. Later though, I realized only too late that, though I got my sushi and arrows from the Mog House, I forgot to change my sub from BLM to WAR. Oh the shame!

After a party member left though, the tank said that he was going to be afk for 5min so I sed cool I would warp to Jeuno and change my sub. Sure enough it was fine. I get back and then we have a good time partying. I changed up the skillchain though after a while. Birds were weak to ice and I was hitting them with runner-up Shadowstitch ws. So I look up a good skillchain in my handy dandy Aden's skillchain printout that I got from Mysterytour and come to find out Shark Bite > Cross Reaper is Distortion. So we start doing that and the BLM is like, " That works better for me!". Well it does for me too since now I was doin 600 dmg compared to the 300 before.

Eventually the BLM had to go and the leader too and so I said that I would leave also. People prob didn't like me too much there cuz of the mess ups with the sub and the couple of links I got. But we had non-stop chain 5s most of the time and at least I got 10k in exp from the group.
