What have I been doing?

Lots, and thinking about this blog. I realized that to log every quest and mission completed would be a huge, and I mean huge undertaking. so I think I am going to stop that catalogue. I do know the my philosophy on the game is to have balance. To work on quests as much as possible to encourage the growth of fame, to earn gil, and get many items. To level smart, not so fast that I can't figure out what I am doing. Level jobs that work together to help in learning how to do jobs effectively. I think as a redmage that is a good plan. Since Redmage uses both white and black magic, it helps to have the two jobs leveling close together, it keeps me fresh. I am still somewhat frustrated with the whole power level thing, so I am trying to do my best to learn my job under gimped circumstances. All the complaining about people can be lead directly to this type of play, but everyone it seems to do it, either want power levels, or are being power levels. It would be okay if they would let a white mage and the tank continue to learn their jobs, but they do all the curing, and they don't want the tank to take the hate from the mob. It is frustrating, and the system is what is breaking the system of play. :)

Anyway, I have finished the quest the rumor, and have leveled blm to 15, last night I leveled whm to 19. My goal is to get these two jobs to 20, I think I would like to get whm to 25 so I can get raise, then I can start to feel of some use to others around me. :)
Then I can also start leveling rdm again.
I can say after finishing The Rumor, and getting drain, I really love that spell. It is soooooo cool. I don't know how some blm live without it. It is worth the effort of the quest. Easy enough if you can get someone to help you with it. I think the hardest thing with it is getting to Sandy, and getting your fame up. That was a pain in the neck, but most people seem to buy their fame, and really don't work the different quests that are available. I prefer to keep my hard earned gil and use it for crafting and buying armor as I need it.
That is what I have been doing. I have been lonely, I really don't have anyone to play with, so that gets boring from time to time. I enjoy that game, but the loneliness of not having a friend in game the same level is rather sad.
