| | Well it's been a busy few days. I only had a few jobs not 20 and Chal's got plenty. We just did a lot of mix and match of her jobs while mostly I've played COR from 4-20, PUP from 1-16, and most recently DNC from 1-10.
 
In a bid to get rid of old gear she leveled SAM and MNK to 20. Officially all of that MNK/SAM/NIN gear (sub 20) can be disposed of. I found COR to be lacking and it's no surprise it showed up so unpopular in the last census. Perhaps it will get better, but it was pretty weak, couldn't be used that sufficiently for support (/WHM) and thee only benefit largely was Corsair's Roll for extra XP. I'm sure in a group the Acc bonus and stuff are nice. I'm just not a fan I guess.
So me and Chal ran into Lizzy quite a few times yesterday. The first time she was solo. The 2nd and 3rd times I was on my COR.
So obviously no drops and we continued to duo in Konschtat until my COR rang 20. We took a break and I went and picked up my automaton's new frame from Aht Urghan. PUP is a such a huge pain in the ass... why can't they just say that Ghatsad wanted to train craftsmen from other nations or some junk and give us a spot at least in Jeuno to put new attachments on.
Well, we returned to Gustaberg and leveled for a bit in the Lizzy area and discussed the boots. I told Chal to just buy them. I mean seriously... we can just sell them later once all jobs that need them are beyond needing them. When you buy gear from the AH it's more of a rental until you're done. So she did.
Yeah, so obviously we found Lizzy again. He's (she's?) easy to find these days. When we played 2 years ago he was still camped like mad and we always though, "You know, eventually roughly everyone that needs them will have them. The game doesn't have a huge influx of new players so at some point he won't be so damned hard to camp." So now is that time and that's great. We saw very few campers and almost none of them seemed serious. The one guy that did seem half serious didn't seem to have any idea how to camp him. Seriously, after all this time there are a ton of resources. If you wanna camp something learn something about the mob. He might as well be throwing shit and seeing what stuck (figuratively). I guess it could've worked out because most of our claims were pure luck with him just running around.... anyway.
So yeah, Lizzy #4 and Chal just bought boots.
I started shouting and did a /sea. There was one 8 RNG/WHM. He was rank 2 so he was either a noob, a lazy ass nation swapper, or just a straight up lazy ass. I'll assume he was actually a noob because it makes me feel more warm and fuzzy. I guess we could've sold the Leaping Boots back (probably at a profit), but meh. We're not hurting for gil and warm fuzzies are nice.
So yeah. We leveled until Chal's MNK hit 20 which stunted my PUP at 16. I've gotta say, even though PUP is a pain and I wasn't looking forward to playing it at all, it's pretty awesome. Like most of the newest jobs I can see where it would fail it parties because people insist on pulling IT+++++ mobs that they can't hit instead of just chaining T-VT mobs. However, for our duo on largely EP-EM mobs it's just ridiculously powerful. Caprice (my puppet) spend most of her time following me aimlessly around when I couldn't be bothered to deploy her on something. Deploying her on whatever I was already killing was redundant. It only took me two hits to kill something anyway. Siccing her on what Chal was fighting (as MNK) was also pointless for obvious reasons. Quite often we were fighting 3 things simultaneously. PUP is definitely gonna get paired off with some weak ass job in later levels of our duoing.
So now I'm off to finish leveling my DNC (which I'm enjoying) to 20.
Oh yeah, did I mention Lizzy showed up a 5th time? No drop but lol anyway.
I suppose 3 pics of Lizzy in one post are superfluous, but at least you get to see Caprice muggin' for the camera and not quite pulling her weight.
(Yeah, I said her... so?)
