stupid fence is blocking me from the aytherite… i smell new content in the future
Fought giant frogs for the first time about a month ago. Is it me, or do they look like they came from Jim Henson?
Leveled Lancer to 20 right before 1.19. When the game was first announced, Lancer was my first choice of a job with no pet jobs mentioned (still holding out for BST). Now, my favorite is Archer, although that one appears to be getting the BRD advanced job. At least on paper, they would appear to play differently (ARC and BRD that is), so at least I'll have a bit of variety with my current favorite.
Finally made it to Mor Dhona, just in time too. I needed to get here for the main story mission, but I get the feeling that if I waited till after patch 1.19, I may have never have made it, unless they changed some of the fiend placements. By this I mean not being able to effectively fight targets 10 levels above you; I finally got there at rank 42, but the enemies were rank 50+.
Post 1.19, we finally have airships and chocobos. I named mine Vyse, after the main character of Skies of Arcadia. Naming him after a sky pirate you'd think I would have went Limsa Lominsa, but I stuck with my original plan of going with Gridina.
And finally a look at two of the new enemy types brought in by 1.19.

Summoning in action. I summoned a piece of Dexterity Materia II from my old (dated some would say) archer's hat. Now if I could only attach it to something.
Who needs a Dragoon to jump when you have Archer? Well, I do, especially if it comes with a pet, but I like this weaponskill nontheless.
Speaking of would be pets…Ifrit! Unfourtanetly, SE's current plans seem to have him as a one-time summon when a Free Company captures him. If a classic such as Ifrit is off limits for the soon to be job Summoner (unlesss by coincidence there company captures him), I wonder what Summons a Summoner will be able to summon once summoning becomes available.
Entered Mor Dhona through the Cortheas zone. Was trying to finish the original mission story line, but came short of completing it. At least I made it to Camp Revenant, so I can tele back and give it another try.

Still working on CNJ. Don't know if I should try to focus soley on it and/or THM, or if I should wait till the next version update. Trying to figure out if either job will take a hit in solo-ability in the next update.
Since I'm spending a lot of time working in Camp Tranquil on CNJ, I thought it best to work on Botanist as well to switch things up a little. Only a few more levels until Sweat of Brow, which should increase SP/EXP/whatever gain. On a side note, gotta admit that using a scythe gets me in the mood to level DRK; whenever or if ever it is released in XIV.

Finally got the Crimson Spear from that NM Roseling. I forgot how many times I had to kill it before the drop. Started to do leves in Bloodshore just to create more opportunities to kill it.
Not as much trouble with Bardi.
A not so brutal looking sheep. It looks like he shrunk in the dryer.
Couldn't help but notice, but my retainer looked more like an intimidating Pugilist than I did, even with some NM gear :( . I almost look second string in comparison. First time in XIV where I almost wished I went with another race.
A farewell to water spells, at least for now. If I read the notes to the upcoming patch correctly, it appears that water spells are going bye-bye, which is a shame, because so many annoying enemies are particularly weak to water, such as Ahrimans.
One of the new dungeons, Syposhae. It looks like a nice place to level a low level job, and it does have some nice battle music.
And two of the new NMs in the dungeon. Both are fairly low level, as my Archer nearly one-shoted both of them.
And I couldn't resist the monocle for my now Level 50 Conjurer. I made my pre-patch 1.20 goal, now to decide what to level next.
