Monday was a Monday. An update was pushed out company-wide where I work, and it was causing all sorts of headaches. Processes weren’t functioning, reports not printing and jobs not running. To top it off, I got a call from DeAnn that Clara was running a temperature and that she may need to be sent home. Luckily the temperature was just under the state minimum – it would have cost me a day’s worth of earnings if it were any higher. I was nearly an hour late getting out – called DeAnn to ask her to pick up Clara from the daycare.

After some “stress relief” (;-P), we decided to cook up the hot dogs and play for a bit. Talonshard had sent Keri a message that the Goblin Archeologist was near the surface and about to pop. After much trading on our part, someone else got the trade needed to pop the goblin. Upon some deliberation, we decided to head to the sky hunt underway. I hoped I could get in some weapon skill points on my Morgenstern, but for the better part was placed outside the main alliance to keep people alive. They had taken down Despot by the time we got there, and claimed Mother Globe, Steam Cleaner and popped Brigandish Blade by the time we’d left.

I got into an alliance fighting Steam Cleaner placeholders, so I got a few weapon skills off. Sky hunts are really only good for weapon skill points if you’re a melee. For a mage job, you have to make it abundantly clear that you are there to use your weapon, not to cast magic – not very helpful in sky. I mostly soloed my club skill in Kuftal Tunnel, and duoed my Club of Trials with other people trying to skill up. I’m hoping to get a good session in tomorrow night in Kuftal Tunnel or The Boyahda Tree on crabs. WHM/NIN with Lilith’s Rod for a secondary weapon turns those crabs into MP juiceboxes.
