Today's update, Peninsula and Mauhra

Today I attained level 20. With the help of the Empress band that is! I was beginning to think I was never going to get there. I got my cooking skills up to level 20, I made a separate run to Mauhra to by a Regen scroll, which I will need as soon as I hit level 21. I am also looking for gravity and enaero.
I was in a party of two today, and we managed a skill chain somehow. IT was amazing when I finally saw one at work, talk about cool!

I also finished Mission 2.2 A testing time yesterday. I did not have a chocobo license so I had to run to Taronghi canyon to kill the beasts. Even if you do have a chocobo license I would suggest getting a warp scroll and setting your home point in Windhurst Waters as suggested. First it gets you there very quickly so you have more time to kill enemies. In this quest the more the merrier. Just go after easy prey or lower, nothing else. The idea here is speed. I did not use my spells much, just to cure or add enspells to my weapon. That seemed to help. I also did way too much running around. If you could have somone tele you to the crag of Mea, that can also help. If you are a lower level, it might be wise to go with a power level so you are safe, and can keep you healed in the mission. I think that would work really well in the long run. When you are done, warp back to home point with your scroll or by benefit of a friendly BLM and you are done. Very easy, nothing to this quest, just be sure where you are going first.


So here is the cooking recipe to go from level 20 to 22
1 Fire crystal
1 popoto
1 selbina butter

I only broke 4 crystals out of about 34 crystals, and lost 2 butter and 2 popoto.
pretty good return, with only having to buy the popoto's, I saved the butter from previous synthesis, and had plenty of crystals from farming.

Current levels are
20 Redmage 10 Blackmage
Dagger 25
Staff 18
Shield 37
Sword 55
Club 21
Archery 8
Evasion 51
Parrying 18

Magic
Enhancing 26
Elemental 47
Healing 17
Enfeebling 58
Dark 19

Here is a list of what cooking recipes I started with thanks to Noelie's help. (She sent me lots of eggs)

Hard Boiled Eggs
Fire Crystal
1x Lizzard eggs
1x distilled H2o. You can find cheap H2o at the restaurant in Windhurst Waters close to the cooking guild.

Once you advance your cooking level close to 4, you can start to use bird eggs to make these to get to level 6.

Then to orange juice,
Water crystal
4x saruta oranges. You can buy these cheaply at a merchant standing near the gate in Waters.
Orange juice does not stack, so I have tried selling them, giving them to mages, and using them as I have been out working on quests and missions. When you get to level 8 you can make the Salmon Sub to pass the guild test, then continue with the orange juice to level 10.


Salmon Sub
earth crystal
1x crying mustard
1x apple vinegar
1x black bread
1x La theine Cabbage
1x smoked salmon
1x Mithran tomato

After level 10

Slice of sardines. I joined the fishing guild, bought a cheap pole and some bait. One of the tips at another place said to buy and expensive kit, I did that, and lost it on my first try fishing. If you have not fished before buy inexpensive bait and practice. I was able to catch all my fish to level this off, and also harvest wind crystals off of bees, and bats. If you are too high a level to get good points, just work on a job that is low level to do this. I was able to do this without buying anything but the pole and bait. If you are in Windurst you can catch the bastore sardines right of the dock there by the fishing guild. Then go sell your food as bait at the action house.

Next I started to do roasted mushrooms, this can be easily done if someone is willing to harvest the mushrooms for you. They are rather expensive to buy. I also lost lots of crystals until I hit level 13, so you might want to level something else first. Once I started to not loose so much I was able to stack and sell these at the auction house.

(sleepshroom, danceshroom, woozyshroom.)

Next I think I can try to catch some moat carp, and try that before I go to butter.

That is about all I have for today.
