Monk, Retaliators

I've been leveling Monk more since my last update.

I'm up to level 46 now and am doing grounds of valor in Sea Serpent Grotto.

I managed to get the Retaliators (rare/ex versions of Cross-Counters) from Western Shadow, 1/2.

I've also been dabbling in fishing Moat Carps with my mule Bertha.

I've been thinking about hopping on my 99BST/DNC and farming Dynamis currency, but at the same time, I don't know if I really want to spend the time doing that.

The problem is that I don't know what I want to be doing in the game (which is probably why I'm leveling Monk just because it's something to do).

With FFXIV being down until ARR comes out (whenever that may be), I've decided to play XI casually until then to bide my time. My focus for now is leveling my Monk. I'm not sure why I picked that, but whatever. It was at level 8 when I started, and now it's level 40. I camped Mee Deggi and Quu Domi, and got my Sarutobi Kyahan (1/2) and enough gil from Impact Knuckles and scrolls for Magic Finale/Horde Lullaby to ultimately buy Ochiudo's Kote (since I was 0/12 and they're only 50k gil now).

 My route was:
 - Last page of Sarutabaruta until level 10. (lol)
- Mandies/Bees in Tahrongi near the crag until 18.
- Goblins/bats in the maze until mid 20s.
- Bats/crawlers in the Buburimu side of the maze until 38.
- Gigas (page 1) in Upper Delkfutt Tower until 40. I'll do these until mid 40s hopefully.
