Finally got one of my major goals completed: Fire Shikagar!
(I know I'm a bit behind the times, but I was gone for over a year! D:)
I actually stopped my second one like 3/4 the way through because I realized how many Geodes I needed, and at 80-90k a pop, I figured I'd be better off putting my money towards something else and starting my Almace in its stead.
@Krylon: I'm pretty sure Sobek is a lot slower than Briareus, just because Gukumatz (one of the NM's you need to spawn him) is a timed spawn and you've got a lot of other people after him, so the odds of the person who needs the claim getting the claim is slim to none. Plus, Sobek has a one-hit kill move, and it's annoying doing it with people who don't know what they're doing lol

Sobek stage was actually faster than Bri stage for me, just CW burned gold chests while waiting for repop, and about half of KI came from gold chests.
Finally broke 125 currency on a solo dyna run :D
I know that that is on the weak side for most people, but it is higher than what I have been getting before.

Grats on Fire Shik Jessikah! I dropped a good amount of gil on mine but it was worth it xD
I was planning on doing the same for KIs - farm gold chests in between pops while actively popping the NMs as well.

Update: 36/50 Bria helms. Getting close to stage 1!
Almace update!
Done with Briareus Helms!
1/4 on Megalo, then the rabbit and VWNMs. Not going to bother with starting Sobek until I can trade in my helms and get 80 Almace.
How quickly can the VWNM portion be done on average? I've heard of some people knocking it all out in one full day of grinding but I suspected it would take a few days at least.

Depends on if you have the time to wait on respawns or not since that's almost literally the entire trial. It shouldn't take more than 3m per NM kill.
I did VNMs solo in probably 8ish hours. Like Pro said, waiting on respawns is almost literally the entire trial.
Thanks for the info.
That doesn't seem that bad really...

Lv. 81, so I have Dual Wield and Double Attack now, and I discovered a Chain Affinity Skillchain: Light combo. w00t!

Holy frozen cow juice, congratulations Draylo!
grats Draylo, way to represent even more for BLU!
congrats on the white fudge dipped banana!
A lot more than 75m, I had to pay 15~20k for most of mine. I farmed a ton in SSR, sick of that place forever!
75M sounds like a very gross understatement

One of the couple of actual achievements left in FFXI. Congrats~

Congrats on Tizona, Draylo!

Grats Draylo.
20k each is getting to be far too common a price. 15 is about as low as you can get here on ragnarok.
Jinjo just finished his for ~750m, I believe. Mine will probably end up finishing around that point as well.
Congratulations Draylo!
Congratulations Draylo!
So I take it for someone who's only played ~1 year like me, a mythic weapon is essentially unobtainable? ; ; Really wish blu had a relic sword.

I'd think it would be better to work towards other things first. An almace will do just fine.
Holy ***congratulations o_o!
Nice. Congrats Draylo.
Congratulations! That's beyond a pipe-dream for me. I hope you enjoy the fruits of your efforts~
