Hey hey everyone! First off let me say I will be gone all next week for spring break. Gotta recharge my sleep battery and eat tasty home cooked meals ^^. But fear not, for I have adventures to speak of! Nyzul Isle! With salvage out of the way, its definitely nice to be able to help out your friends when they need help with Nyzul Isle! Been doing a few runs with Arnor and I did a single run with Coejus. Three of my four runs saw armor drops so its definitely been quite fun. I even got goliard body. . .yay ^^;. Anyhoo, looking at it....well...quite honestly I'm not all too good with mage stats so I'm not sure what its good for with my rdm. Forix said it would be a good piece of armor to wear if I was chainspelling the heck out of stuff, which is true. I'll just test the armor and dynamis and see how it does. So yah. Lotta fun. Hopefully I find more armor with my friends ^^;. Oh, and if you know a good situation to use goliard body, let me know. I wanna use it correctly.
Dynamis! Dynamis has been going pretty swell. Nothing but wins. Little to no deaths for me. I'm definitely a very happy camper. I even get to dance with taru like Eltaru! Wooo! Definitely gotta give a big super duper thanks to Talliah and Mikumaru for pulling the strings to get me in. The linkshell is great! My collection of armor continues with me getting cor gloves! I'll lvl the job soon. I swear!
Random NM time! I got bored so decided to camp this tiger. I'm not sure if I popped it or if it was already there. The area is quite huge. Regardless, I killed it and I even got the drop. It was a nice little farming experience. Except fighting the gnole...yeah. That was a big mistake. No creature should be allowed to cure itself for that much effing HP. Stupid gnoles...
My beastmaster has finally leveld to 64! Experience is flowing nicely and I'm pretty sure I can hit my goal by having bst lvled to 75 by the end of the year ^^. Anyways, there is a nice pair of bst pants that you can get from the treasure caskets in Sauromugue Champaign. I tried getting the pants to no luck but I did run into this cockatrice. Sadly the bird didn't drop the item needed for the belt. The game just doesn't want me to level monk. Honestly! I will be quite honest and say I hate the game mechanic of treasure caskets. The idea of having a rare 10% chest drop from a mob that from that 10% only half of them will be the casket that drops treasure. And from that half the pants I want is only a 7%ish drop. Thats a .35% chance per a monster that I will get a pair of pants. Not 35%, not 3.5%, .35%. Thats a third of a percent!!! If I wanted to kill a crap ton of monsters hoping to get a rare drop I would play WoW. Thats right, I spoke the forbiddin words. But I didn't play the darn game for a reason. So get the darn WoW mechanic out of FFXI darnat!!! >_<Thats all I have to say. April is just around the corner so lets finish March with a bang!! Don't forget to smile! :D Now for some silly tirades of a taru!

Yar caskets are ridiculous. I have not been impressed with them and see them as another example of a half-assed mechanic in game.
Goliard body is something I use on SCH in Light Arts mode. With it having a decent boost of HP and MP, Haste 4% and -5 enmity I find it to be more useful than Errant body. When main healing, I see it as more useful than Warlock's Tabard (since that is useful really for enfeebling). When it comes to Duelist Tabard I am not sure. The +10 healing from it is nice as well as the enhancement to fast cast. But it doesn't have the Conserve MP. not being a 75 RDM myself I am not sure which of these two would be better.
OH! You should get the new mini-expansion. The armor at the end looks awesome and is apparently customizable.
