On the first of January, we tried killing Ouryu. We didn't really have much of a strategy coming in, just wanted to see what we could do on a few trial runs since we have a ton of evokers. The first run went pretty poorly but on the second run we got it down to about 30% or so before time expired. We're pretty sure we know what went right and what went wrong well enough to take him down next time.
There was also a New Years event this year where you could get a few items. One looked like a spanking paddle and one was a furnishing that gives Moghancement: Money. I snagged both on those in about 15 minutes. I took screenshots but meh, not really that interesting. Moving on.
Next up was a pickup Storms of Fate group from QCDN. This was somewhat of an unpleasent event for me. It started WAY late, after the time at which I was hoping to be done. I'm training myself to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier this year as part of my resolutions so this was pretty irksome. After a lot of stupidity we finally made it to the fight itself. Now I've heard this fight is really easy, but we just barely won. There were a lot of deaths (at one point I got Terror'd and then Fire V'd), but we somehow pulled through. It just reminds me of why I hate doing pickup anything, almost never on-time. :/
We're up to the 10th now. Between Bahamut and today not much really happened. I fought Ose 2 or 3 times trying to get Tryxie an Assault Jerkin but he isn't dropping for us. Encore (the replacement shell for TheDynamisShow) did our first run in Jeuno. Something like 17 relic ended up dropping, 5 of which were Scout's Berets that no one wanted. Of course, Cleric's Pantaloons didn't drop, though with the new lotting rules of Encore they are no longer guaranteed to go to me anymore anyways. Oh well. So the 10th finds us claiming King Behemoth which was nice since hnm times have been really wonky the past few weeks due to maintenances and we haven't been able to camp much (and even now that we can again, S-E has another maintenance scheduled for Sunday, thanks guys).
Run JB Run! It's always nice taking down a king, but the drops were pretty meh.
That's pretty much it. Whenever I'm in-game this year I'm usually either idling in my mog house with the game minimized or just doing random things like checking my chocobo, camping Ose, or just talking to people. Haven't done PUP in a while, kinda miss it and kinda don't. As much as I want to level the job to a high level just because it's rare to see 75 PUPs, I just don't know if I can stomach 30+ more levels of it, especially since I know it's just going to keep getting worse and worse as I progress. We'll see.
