Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries, shenanigans!

For each class’ Hunting Log finished you get a unique class ring. I got

the one for Gladiator, the class that turns into the job Paladin.



I unlocked a new trial I knew about, but never knew where to go to unlock it.

The Great Hunt. It is different in the way that you can get currency from it 

to buy things with, with the other trials you don’t get any loot on normal 

and weapons on higher difficulty.


I went on a shopping spree for Orchestrion Rolls. I bought every roll I could that cost less than 1k gil.

I work through the list on the MB and then go to the next world to get the rolls from that MB.

You can do that with all the worlds on your DC and that way you can get to all the good deals on the DC.

It takes a long time, but it’s a good way to get cheap rolls, also if there are MBs where one specific roll is not available you can look at another MB if it’s available there.


A new thing I learned about minions in FFXIV is the emote /handover.

to me


Hello everyone!


I seem to have blinked and lost a month or two.  Has anyone seen February?  How about March, that's almost gone now too.


It is the busy season at school: trimester ending, trimester beginning, and our robotics team doing overtime trying to get something ready for competition at the end of March.  I feel like once April starts I'll be on a home stretch with a lot of activities settling down.


Gaming has been all over the place.  A bit of FFXIV, a bit of Phasmophobia, lots of Hogwarts Legacy (and yes I am aware of the controversy and have donated an equal amount to the Trevor Project to balance things out), and I have been trying to put in a bit of practice for an upcoming randomizer tournament with Final Fantasy 4 Free Enterprise.


That's the quick-quick summary.  I also got another Blast from the Past for today, this one from episode 457.  Enjoy!


--Kyle

Facing Mental Health Issues due to time change, usually very affected by the changing of the clocks, no surprise at all on that.


Unable to finish Darkmoon Fair, on

last quest the food person de-spawned.


So I got all Darkmoon done except the cooking of the frogs, about 15 seconds short cuz I forgot to bring the flour.


You can no longer summon directly to darkmoon island, you have to summon outside the portal to bring someone to the top of the hill is the closest you can get someone to a boss or a quest in the dying 4 minutes of the fair.

Got all the glyphs for drake, need to finish the shore Quests to unlock the Fast mount


I got a bunch of transmog from the trading post, you can have maximum 1000 coins per month, i get 500 coins per account and I cap out to 1000 for my 3 accounts without doing any quests.  The log on an alt to buy the other items.


Unlocked Flying Drake, select 2 person mount option (have a passenger on back) picked as few as possible high gloss options and picked quality of life options instead, Shield on mount instead of DPS shockwave when I land, all options selected as far as Is possible to lock in flying options.  Dismounted and fell to my death on several occasions, not able to discontinue muscle memory!

FFXIVs major damage type is “emotional”, and there is no resistance for it.


And here i thought i was done with my mailman career, but i guess not:


I’m too kind for my own good, I believe.


Rogue job at 60.


Culinarion job at 90.


Carpenter job at 90.


Latest Custom Delivery faction to Rank IV. You gain one rank per week, and about half a level per faction with max turn-ins.

Got a new achievement for turning in a number of items to the first Endwalker Custom Delivery faction person, in this case 36 items, since it’s divisible by 6 due to the max turn-in of 6 per week.


Rank 4 reputation with the new tribal faction.

This will be the new tribal quest faction reward mount:
