update 12.4.08

The [S] areas have been great for exp. Unfortunately, the great exp passed as quickly as it had came. We targeted djinns in east ronfaure [S] and Batallia Downs [S] for several levels, getting us to level 53. Subbing black mage for elemental nukes fed the bombs massive amounts of tp, and we were able to incite a number of self-destructs (a few of which one-shotted us- hurray for reraise).

After djinns stopped providing decent exp, we decided to try our luck in the crawlers nest. Exp would have been good, had we been able to kill higher tier beetles, but there was a party there. We chained Ts for a bit, and then moved to the basement in Garlaige Citadel. Too early. It was difficult to find EM bats. We ended up getting ~4k exp/hr, and got tired after about 90 mins of failure. I suspect once we hit 54 all the bats would check EM, and we can start throwing them at bombs.

In other news, Surv and I decided to ditch bastok (albiet temporarily) and head to sandy. I do not suspect we will stay there very long. We hit rank 5 with ease, and are planning to hit up 5-1 and 5-2 soon. Looking ahead, there shouldnt have too much trouble with the missions themselves. Its not that I don't like San d'Oria, I just miss having all the outposts and 190k conquest points. Sucks not being able to recharge your Emperor Band.
