More Beastmaster
I didn't really play all that much over the long weekend, but when I did play I was playing bst. Been having a lot of fun lately, really getting the hang of exp in the Torimarai canal. Since I'm getting close to lvl 60, I decided I should go ahead and get the AF3 done - the pants are arguably the nicest piece of AF.
I went 75 nin/bst for the fight, since it pops 2 NM tigers you can charm and one NM undead hound - and only the hound has to be defeated. I charmed one of the tigers and tasked it to fight the other tiger, while I focused on the hound. After I got hate on the hound, I helped my pet finish off the other tiger, and then we both took down the hound. Pretty easy fight this way, glad it worked out - was my first time subbing bst to anything. I probably could have just gone mnk/nin, and hundred fisted the hound down by itself, but I wanted to try and do it with style :)
Picked up lvl 59, and as of last night I'm about halfway to 60. Still using a SH+1 because I sold my Haub awhile back and haven't picked one up yet. I have enough gil to get one, but I'm not convinced the purchase is worth it at this point. For now, I'm almost always wearing the JSE Gaudy Harness while xp'ing in the canal - the mp refresh is just too nice. It kicks in for me anywhere under 49 mp, which I've heard others say is all you really need as bst - and I agree. I just keep regen up almost all the time, remove paralysis & blindna, and keep dia on the mob. Never have to rest, and you can roll continuous chain 3's & 4's, yielding some pretty sweet xp/hr down here - even without xp ring. Nearly 5k/hr solo is hot:
In case other bst's actually read this LJ, I've been loving the little camp @ F-8. There are 4-5 skele spawns here, plus 4 bat spawns. I generally swap the bats in the canal area out to DC/EM, and leave the bats back by "A" on the map at T level - that way I can kill those off on my second chain while waiting for the main group of skele's to respawn. I would advise against using the leeches that are close by, if you mischarm they can Plague your ass - and that shit can take 2+ hours to wear off :(
Limbus: Need Apollyon NE tonight to complete a pop set, and probably do a NW with the extra folks for more coins and to start the next set.
