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.

Saturday 11.15
Saturday was... well, interesting. Simkiel has been working on the Chains of Promathia expansion, and his static needed a bit of help with Mission 4-3. Surv, Hoss, and I went out to Sacrarium to give him a hand. Sim's LS, inappropriately named 'ProfoundWisdom', was clearly unorganized. The leader clearly did not know how many people would be needed on this run, which jobs would be advantageous, etc- and this was their second attempt at this mission. Very frustrating- I blacklisted the leader, as her /wrists emo attitude was clearly unrestrained.
After clearing several Fomor rooms with no professor pop, we moved camps. Unfortunately one of the members was afk and decided to aggro half the zone. Needless to say he KO'd in a lovely spot, and upon raising him, we wiped trying to save him from his blood aggro.
3 hours later, our LS left the CoP party, without even fighting the NM.
0/1.
We took a break, then decided to do an ENM run as NIN RDM SAM SAM (Sheep in Antlion's Clothing). We attempted to enter, and Sim was unable to do so. Not to waste our chance at a Hagun, Surv, Hoss, and I attempted to trio it, and were unsuccessful in the attempt.
0/2.
We took an even longer break, as Sim was pretty frustrated. Came back and decided to do something we knew we could do- get Sim Bastok rank 8. We did 2 missions, and completed it with ease. We were also able to snag Hoss his SAM AF helm while we were there.
1/3.
We then hopped on BST for a short time, and 4-manned in Eastern Altepa Desert. Sim, Surv, and I all got a level, and Hoss (who is lvl 66) got a buffer. We had a few deaths, but most of it was learning the zone, and having all our pets die at around the same time. Compared to earlier events, I consider this a win.
