March 2019 Game Goals in Review
I know we still have a few more days left to this month, but since I tend not to blog on weekends, and I’m pretty sure the goals I’ve met today will be the same on Sunday, I’m going to go ahead and call it done. Overall, it’s been a pretty successful month.
FFXIV: Main Character
- Level Astro ✓
- Level Ninja
- Finish Summoner Job Quests ✓
I did it! I finally finished those Summoner Job quests! I told you I would. Now, I just have a million other job quests to complete. I’d like to get these done before Shadowbringers, so I’m going to try to double down on these the next couple months.
I poked around at leveling Astro a bit, but hardly worked at all on Ninja. Again, these are things I’d like to change by Shadowbringers, so I’m going to try to tighten that focus in April.
FFXIV: RP Alt
- Level Carpenter to 70 ✓
- Level Goldsmith to 50+ ✓
- Earn “I Made That V” for Alchemist ✓
I pretty much blew all of my crafting goals out of the water this month. I finished leveling Carpenter completely. Not only did Goldsmith hit level 50, but it’s currently level 64 and pushing through Namazu dailies.
I’ve been working full speed ahead on Weaver and Blacksmith with both GC turnins and Ixali quests. Weaver just hit 50 a couple days ago, and I’ve been working through Moogle quests for leveling.
Meanwhile, I can focus all Ixali on my final job, Blacksmith. My major goal for April is to get this to 50 so I don’t have to do Ixali daily quests anymore. I’m so done with fishing in the latrine!
After many days of concentrated crafting, last night I finally finished the I Made This V achievement for Alchemist. I forgot when I set that goal that it meant I’d earn the gold Blessed Cauldronkeep’s Alembic tool (pictured above).
But I tell you what, marking crafted items off the list has become more and more challenging! I have 100 more items to craft to reach I Made this VI and earn the real tool I’m after. I don’t know that I’m going to set this to finish for next month, though. I may have to wait until new recipes come out with the expansion before I can complete the number I need — some of the materials required come from airships, subs and Eureka!
Nintendo Switch
Play Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu. ✓
I actually did this! I’m still only 4-ish hours into the game, but hey, I made some progress this month. I played through Mt. Moon and beat Misty for the second gym badge. I know it’s pretty sad for a game that came out in November, but progress is progress. This seems to be the way I clear Pokemon games — I take it one badge at a time, and eventually make it through.
Anyhow, I’m sitting in a good spot for Shadowbringers, and still have plenty to do before the expansion drops. I can see my time shifting away from Amon as I finish up his crafting and move back to my main to finish leveling the jobs and doing quests there I want to mark off my list.
