Busy day today!
Dragon Quest VI:
Still chugging along nicely, but I just found out that I’m only about 1/4-1/3 through the game, at 27 hours… ow. Still, it’s getting a bit better — I’m much happier now that I’ve found a place to grind vocations without any limiters (outside of Swanstone).
Recipes:
I got a recipe program for my iPad, and I’ve been dilligently putting all of my loose recipes into the app. I’m about 1/3 through, but I’m discovering that the iPad doesn’t like certain French words, even with French keyboards active (“cretin” instead of “creton”?). But it’s going to be awesome when it’s all in there, and it’s going to be a HUGE help.
Lunch:
Went to Mikado with Sky, Ooke and Myrna… was pretty good, though we’re probably going to start broadening our horizons and going to different Japanese restaurants… Mikado just hasn’t been the same since the fire. Still, was pretty awesome, and my tummy was filled with delicious sushi.
FFXI:
Got Karm’s COR AF hat done, though I blinked and it was over… Myrna was cackling madly for some reason I don’t quite understand.
Then we got Ithan-Yuran’s Black Coffin fight done, which was over just as quickly.
… Which unlocked Salvage for him, so we said, “Hey, why not?” since we’d never done it before. Except when we went to get the permit, I found out that the taru had never done a single Assault. Whoops. So we did a quick Leujoam Cleansing (he’s only PSC!) and got a ring… which appraised to an Imperial Ring. (!!!) It was between Karm and me, and I won the lot and a ticket to sleeping on the couch tonight, but still, IMPERIAL RING. Since I’ll be coming THF to Salvage, this is just awesome.
So, Salvage. I was flailing a bit since I was pulling AND main healing, but I think I have a pretty good handle on things. We did Silver Sea Remnants, and it was a pretty standard run apart from the Macha’s Slops that dropped (apparently they’re rare?). They went to Karm (no, I’m not levelling RDM dammit), so she’s pretty much set for making Morrigan’s Slops if she wants to.
And that’s about it. Tomorrow, I make lunches for the week and enough cookies to decimate the chocolate chip population, and then possibly some Dragon Quest: Voyages if Karm’s cold leaves her be. Good night!
