First item to pick up? February 20, 2009

I never pick up any item from Kilusha since I started Einherjar almost 2 years ago because back then obtaining Therion Ichor is hard, get somewhat 500-800 for wing1-3 chambers, 1250 from Odin and nothing if fail. This forces me to think again and again before get any item which cost 15,000 Ichor and eventually decide not to pick any of them up because benefit from them are so minimal while it took great effort to get Ichor, I figured I should store my precious Ichor until SE add more item that actually worth it to pick up later. Well I somewhat right, SE did add new item that can purchase with Ichor but it was item for Mythic Weapon quest and cost 100K Ichor. At that time I have 70K or so Ichor stored already so I decide to save up for 100K before spend them just in case I want to do Mythic Weapon later.
Enough for preface, now I have 118,300 Ichor and want to spend them. Oh enough for hoping for SE to add new item that can be purchased with Ichor as well. There are only 4 items that catch my eyes, here.
I plan to get all of them but what is priority here? I’m deciding which item I should pick first, next one is going to be a month and a half away. Ritter Gorget is decent but it serves no purpose for me, I idle in Peacock Charm or Parade Gorget and already have Harmonia’s Torque when I need enmity. Since enmity gear will be swapped in when cast/action only so status (+25 HP and +5 Evasion) Ritter Gorget offer is obsoleted, I’ll get 5K from replace Harmonia’s Torque with Ritter Gorget thought. As for Gleeman’s Cape it serves literally no purpose as well but it gives me 450-500K from selling Prism Cape after I got both Gleeman’s and Aslan so I figure I’ll get Gleeman’s Cape before Rittger Gorget.
So I’m down to Aslan Cape or Morgana’s Choker, which one will be the first.
Aslan Cape
- HP -20
- MP +20
- MND +5
- CHR -5
I can replace Prism Cape with this, 1 extra MND and better HP/MP ratio on my convert gear is good deal and when I get Gleeman’s Cape I can sell Prism Cape for extra 450-500K gil.
Morgana’s Choker
- MND +5
- STR -2
- DEX -2
- Convert 40 HP to MP
I don’t have any item that give MND in neck slot at the moment so it is good for higher MND build and it will gives me opportunity to play with my convert gear such like replace Serket Ring in my convert macro, keep it but use another HP ring for higher HP and MP (currently I have 1058/1001 HP/MP so Morgana’s Choker alone won’t improve it) or switch other piece of gear around and get better or same HP/MP ratio.
I think I’ll get Morgana’s Choker first because it has the most utility out of four then Aslan, Gleeman’s and Rittger Gorget for the last piece. Any thoughts?

The recent event is forcing me to make an adjustment to my plan once again. First I don’t have a Nyzul Isle assault static party anymore, I’m still deciding what should I do next. I still want some piece of armor from Nyzul assault but giving my circumstance I don’t think I’ll able to join or keep up with another Nyzul set party anymore, this leaves me with one choice which is join random shouting run. I’m not comfortable with shouting run for one simple reason, I pretty much live in JST time and can’t speak fluent Japanease is cockblocking me from join 90% of shouting run in my time because they are Japanese and they don’t want gaijin in their party. Although I somewhat understand them, I figure because Nyzul requires decent communication in lamps objective floor so they don’t want to rely on auto-translate function to give coordination in party and risk the chance of fail the run because this gaijin couldn’t understand what they told him to do. But hey I manage to join few of Japanese shouting run before and thing wasn’t that bad.
Now without Nyzul assault static party I’ll have 4 more assault tags each week and can work on getting Captain rank (a little) easier. I used to have to 4 tags saved for weekend for Nyzul run and can’t spend them during weekend because it won’t recharge fast enough or at best if I time it right I can spend 1 during weekend and have another one ready for Sunday run. Now I can spend them freely in weekend, weekend is matter because it is only time of the week I meet almost all of my friends and can ask/beg/force/harass them to help with some assault run. Sadly this helps only just a little because the bigger problem is finding people for assault run, anyway this give me more opportunity at least.
I think I’ll try to get into shouting Nyzul run on weekday and spend couples of tags to do Lamia 13 run on Thursday or Friday if I can’t get any Nyzul run on Monday to Wednesday so I won’t waste those tag. Also try to work on assault I need on weekend with left over tag, at worst I’ll have 4 tags left on Sunday and have to do 4 run Lamia 13 >.>
Second my little static party for duo NM in MMM daily is finished as well. Our daily MMM run has been slowed down since early of February so this might due without the recent event anyway. I don’t think I’ll bother with dual box for NM fight because obviously I can duo only weak NM and to do so I have to remove a lot of rune out of my maze set up and that (theorically) will decrease drop rate of weapon/armor so I don’t think it will worth my time and effort. As for marble farming run I won’t bother with them anymore as well, I have pretty much all rune sans couples job and crafting rune which I could careless about them and I don’t need more marble since other buyable runes seem don’t have any effect on drop at all. Hurray for more free time each day I suppose ._. Hopefully I still can do NM fight in weekend thought since I want couple pieces from MMM still, let’s see this how it is this weekend!
