No rest for the Ferret!

Today was supposed to be a day of rest after working for seven consecutive days... but it ended up being a day of character questing.

Statuses of the fourteen new characters (blue for done, red for in progress):

Ludin: Got her today thanks to Senpai for helping with HB and LL and catching a CT10 squad from broad.  Haven't created her to get her stance book.

Veronif: Got her last week before trip.  Haven't created her.  Got her stance book and started the 30 day quest for her diary for Vincent's Abyss Magic Book.  Currently on day 2 of 30.

Natalie: Got her last week before trip.  Haven't created her.  Didn't get stances yet. 

Daria: Got her last week before trip.  Haven't created her.  Didn't get stances yet.

Ion: I read this guide like Demonic Jurgen quest was required before I could start on Ion.  Good thing Fox-san told me otherwise.  Currently at the part where I need Rose, Arbremon, and Sautarelle pieces.  Didn't get a chance to attend those Time Paradox raids today.

Beatrice: Got her today by attending Nephtys and Cortes Time Paradox raids (more on this below).  Haven't created her to get her stance book.

Adriana: Still on Viviana favor quests.  7/50 at the moment.  T.T  I refuse to create any new character before I create her!  Call me stubborn, but I've been eagerly awaiting her arrival since we first heard about her.  I mean, why else would she be the banner for my blog?!

Grandice: Just started Judgement Day scenario.

Vincent: Got him last week before trip.  Haven't created him.  Not going to start stance book quest until I have Montoro Ring.  Working on his Abyss Magic Book with Veronif.

Elisa: Got her last week before trip.  Haven't created her.  Don't have Adriana to start stance book quest.

Cruise: Got up to the part where you're supposed to go to Secret Tower to kill General Guard.

Tora: Finished Lisa favor quest, but haven't done anything past that.

Mary: Currently at the Basement Raid portion of favor quests.  69/100 at the moment.

Sharon: I just found this guide, I would have to finish Judgement Day scenario and Reckless Emilia's sub-quest.

Demonic Jurgen quest: Fox-san helped to tank half of 50 King Gehcos.  Took Valencia (Caly) because she has the only Life weapon.  We found some other people there and we squaded and later killed the 15 Mandragoras as well.  Made it up to the Moonlight Garden part.

Judgement Day scenario: Made it up to the part where you're supposed to enter Moonlight Garden and trigger a combat.  Also purposely stopped here to coincide this with Demonic Jurgen.

Secret Garden is really, really pretty, I wish I had time to explore it and take screen caps, except when the mobs come and kill you.

Time Paradox Cortes: So...  There was a broad that there was a 16/24 squad looking for more people... and I thought I'd better get on this bandwagon to get Beatrice.  Well... they didn't have a tank or WC... the squad asked if anyone was capable and it was silent...  I had to open my big mouth that I have WC team...  >.<;  So what happens, I let myself talk myself into doing it, even though, truth be told, I'm still deathly afraid when I go WC at ToC.  And this being my first time going to this raid.  Thankfully, it was like a mini version of the real Lucifer Cortes.  But still... I've never WC'd in that capacity.  I'm just a lowly DPS'er at Lucifer Cortes, you know, where you show up with appropriate team and appropriate gears and just shoot at things?  WC and tank have it hard.  >.<;  I think I did all right, all things considered.  I think I used about 10-15 SCs.  It was hard at first because I didn't know where to place my team.  I also tried to use single mode, but I think there's something different with this new patch.  I had a hard time getting the clicking to location to work.  In the end, I had them close enough to Cortes and employed my ToC WC tactics because I don't know any different tactics.  :p

Time Paradox Nephtys: Much to my relief, I was told WC was not necessary for this, so I was relieved of my WC duties and skippity-hopped to Quarters to grab my DPS team. ^.^;  Arafat rooms were okay.  Nephtys room felt chaotic, reminiscent of my first outings at Lucifer Cortes where mobs ran rampant smashing you.  To keep myself close and alive at Nehptys to get her drop at the end, I kept myself under PF.  I still cannot get out the habit of using PF because of Prison raids, I got accustomed to protecting myself with PF and the only time I use Invulnerable is when I'm WC for ToC and I'm Invul'ing the tank.  Just cannot seem to remember to use it on myself!  :p  Plus my Invul rings are on Stella in Quarters.

Dang, I really raided hard today...  You might not be able to tell, but it was literally back to back questing for me all day.  At some points I couldn't even keep my quests straight.  "I'm doing this for which character now?"

I think my weeknight dailies can only consist of Viron Box, Veronif 30 day quest, and Viviana favor quest... I don't know that I will even have time to do Circus (haven't done this since the transfer) or CM (oh man, I need to get back on farming chips) or even Basement for Mary.  :<

Status of Katia, Etienne, and Stella: 25% until Level 19 Unlimited Shot and 75% until Level 13 Enhanced Tactics.  They're leveling so slowly.  But I have to remind myself that I haven't been around for the past three days and all the times that I have been, I've been questing.  There's been very little time for me to AFK them to level their stances.  T.T  My poor Muskies!  I'll AFK them during the weeknights, as I can't be actively doing character quests.

Two more exciting pieces of news!  I crafted my second ET ring today!  Received donations of Rhodolites from Senpai and Fox-san.  Used alts to get the Symbol of Ancient Warrior.  It's so nice not to have to swap that second ring slot.  T.T

The Bahia Secret Room Mission gave me a Sewing Box today and I exchanged two Red Santa costumes and got an old Cash Shop costume that I didn't have before!!!  *_*


I'm exhausted.  Orz

[Two cups of coffee were consumed in the making of this day.]
