Update Time!

Finished the quest for the first level increase. I capped MNK at 50+ but switched over to DRK to level it while I finished the actual questline. I also managed to finish the Save my Sister quest and received a Holy Mace for my trouble. I had to get some upgraded armor fro DRK though, because I was running with Lv. 30 gear. Granted, I liked that gear better because most of the pieces had some stat bonus, but sometimes defense is the better option.

I also did the Weapon Artefact quest for DRK as well and got him some more magic. I might farm some enemies for the ABS spells I'm missing. I really wish I had noticed the Dark Magic class when I was running BLM or RDM, because it is woefully under-leveled compared to some of my other magic classes. I'll jump DRK to Lv. 51, so I can start the next level increase quest and probably switch to SAM and get it to the soft lv cap of 50.

So we're making some slow progress, but I am reminding myself that this is sort of like the endgame grind in games like FFII and III, where being prepared is better than not. Besides, I get the impression the next couple of Missions assume I stuck to one class and would be trying to get the level increases. So I feel I am good with my current plan. Been making money sending items to the auction, I may need to go fishing again though.
