Rebound on the previous account of my schedule:
∎ Accomplish all level 50 Land/Hand-job quests (no pun)
∎ Accept the first 50 Main Scenario quest as crafters and/or gatherers.
└It's been a wonder I could even do that. <tear of joy>
∎ Have patience; you will play Samurai again in 2 months. (T__T)
∎ Drop Beast Tribe (Ixal) until further notice.
∎ No FATE/spawn/ levelling triggers. Which means; no roulette for a while!
├I am happy about this after I had to go through Aurum Vale yesterday.
├7 times to level up the remaining 7 characters from level 48 to level 50...
└It was like a hell like never seen before...
∎ Keep my 6 retainers venturing and do your dirty job
├Do the same with my Lalafell armed Squadron.
└Keep Chocobo out to continue his training, his slacking rank 6 must push.
∎ Propose daily MS-completion challenges to build a structure.
∎ Deadline of Seven Astral quest-line for personal advancement will be set.
├21/11┅Patch 2.1 (A Realm Awoken)
├24/11┅Patch 2.2 (Through the Maelstrom)
├26/11┅Patch 2.3 (Defenders of Eorzea)
├28/11┅Patch 2.4 (Dreams of Ice)
└30/11┅Patch 2.5 (Before the FallーPart 1╳2)
∎ Don't give up, just focus, enjoy. Do it. GO! This was written on 11/18/2018 21:03/9:03 PM Sunday. The process began on Monday 11/19/2018 and once proceeding into level 50 and finishing Realm Reborn, I continued and felt hopeless, as mentioned. Here are the surprising and odd changes what truly happened. This section:

The reality is, I'm four quests away from:
└30/11┅Patch 2.5 (Before the FallーPart 1╳2)—Patch 2.55 (Before the Fall - Part 2) to be exact. I was utterly surprised. I'll go down the list what I kept and didn't:
∎ Accomplish all level 50 Land/Hand-job quests (no pun)∎ Accept the first 50 Main Scenario quest as crafters and/or gatherers.
└It's been a wonder I could even do that. <tear of joy> ∎ Drop Beast Tribe (Ixal) until further notice. —With this, I did this once or twice since due to realizing I cannot complete the main story quests any longer as crafters or gatherers!
∎ No FATE/spawn/ levelling triggers. Which means; no roulette for a while!

My plan was simple enough; go through the story. Yet as I did I began to feel wary about my own motives; why story? Is it so important? It is more important to reach my goal rather than lean on the story. If I wanted, I'd be 59 on all by tomorrow, but that's not how things work. I want to also go through this as crafters and gatherers. So what now? Of course, I can hardly go through crafting/gathering now simply because areas are locked behind the Main Story quest. Not to mention how it is getting harder and harder to go through the crafters and whatnot. That is why I used beast tribe of Ixal once or twice—and then left it be. Through ten folds of Blue quests and more blue quests within blue-quests, I found myself ignoring these for a later purpose... yet there were two quests that beseech me. One was the wandering Minstrel which Ultimate Ballad I have yet to do, and the other referred to Gerolt and his edgy ways of shaping the relic weapons. I thought, hey, why not. Weapon upgrades are most welcomed! And so my journey began. I have previously written a blog about it, so fast-forward, I now have all my relic Zenith weapons and am feeling satisfied. Why? Because instead of going through story alone which I feel petrified of losing grip or focus on the ongoing, I felt this would be a great distraction on the sideline, and boy was it a great one, too! I'm almost sad it's over. With it, it gave me reasons for mining, gathering and crafting the unfinished piece needed to complete them. I indeed crafted them all myself, and it helped me levelling sequential with war and magic disciples. Boy have I been busy this week! This week, I say, for I finished the complete storyline (or 95% at the least) among every Zenith Relic Weapons+on the exact level agenda I had not even dared to hope a week prior preparing myself for the unbecoming blows.
In other words; I'm happy with my progress!
While I am supposed to be weeeeeeeks behind where I am, I am weeeeeks ahead!
I stressed over.... nothing, but I am happy I did.
Here is my new look again and happy Sunday to all!
