So I'd heard of this group known as Exalted, and they promised to be a close-knit linkshell that kept to the same sort of schedule as I do. So I asked around and they let me join last night! They really made me feel welcome, and another good thing is that my friends, Celer Censura and Dreagon Soular, joined too!
I found out from them that at my rank as a pugilist I should be taking on some work at Camp Horizon, it's tougher but it offers a lot more gil! And you know how much I love my gil.. A hells of a lot! Gun Anam offered to show me the ropes at this tougher camp, he's one of the Exalted leaders and he's from Ul'dah too.
It was loads of fun, I never knew that these beasts could disguise themselves like that! Really impressive actually.. But we found them easily enough. I'm pretty sure I couldn't of managed these leves by myself though.. Especially when it came to the wights...
If you don't know what a wight is, I envy you right now. I'd seen them from a distance once.. Seen two of them chase after a miqo'te at amazing speed and take her down. I've had a fear of them ever since, but last night I had to face them to protect the camp and other adventurers from meeting the same fate as that miqo'te. The smell of death clung to them, and they would fall apart, which the first time lead me to think it was properly dead, but as soon as I turned my back it got up and hit me.. It was hard work, but with a few.. Strategic.. Retreats, we managed to defeat all of the unnatural fiends.
As soon as we were finished all our jobs, Zack Fair, another new linkshell mate, arrived in Camp Horizon with some leves. We made quick work of them, but by that point my weapon was so worn and beaten it was almost useless! I knew I only had to find some dodo leather spetch to repair it, but making the dodoskins I had into leather was just a bit too difficult for me at my rank. Luckily, Zack offered to try! He was the same rank as me with leather but had an edge over my skill with his proficiency in other crafts, with tricks he'd learned that after several attempts left him with a few pieces of dodo leather. Making the spetch from the leather was much easier, and he repaired my Dodoskin Cesti for me as well.
Now I have all the other pieces of spetch he made for me, enough for around ten repairs or so I should think. Don't worry, I gave poor Zack a few pieces of dodoskin to make up for all his that he'd ruined trying to make into leather.
Oh, and then we traveled to Limsa Lominsa! He had enough for a leve from a faction there.. I forget the name of them. But we had to run around finding boxes full of contraband and hand them in to get destroyed. Got a nice bit of gil for it too.
By that point I was just so exhausted I had to go. I teleported back home to Ul'dah and curled up in bed for some well deserved sleep. Never even had time to write up my day's adventure until this morning. Hm.. I suppose I should get around to writing how I came to be in Ul'dah, but for now I must get on with this new day's work!
