Last night ruled. I'm on my way to Raithwall, and I decided to delay my entry into...Yena..whatever, the place that takes you along the desert to Raithwall, with lots of stairs and shit.
Anyways, I decided to explore the Westersand. I didn't do that the first time I played, and I had some fun. I encountered some cave, so I had to go in there. Surprisingly, the enemies there were 1-3 levels above me so I just
had to fight them. After I got my fill I left the cavern, only to find that the desert had a sandstorm. This never happened before, so I explored a bit, and found some orange elemental. I used libra and the thing was level 45! That's awesome. I love one hit kills. So I ditched that area despite the thing chasing me for an eternity and on the next screen or so, I saw some weird skeleton thing walking about. I had taken out many a monster in the westersand at that point and I had yet to encounter that thing. Remember, I reset the desert so it wasn't storming. Anyways, I fought it, and it kicked my ass so I ran away like a bitch.
Awesome. I have lots to look forward to later.
I found a good place to get loot/lp/chains, and that's the Lhusu Mines near the very end where you fight nothing but skeletons. I turned gambits on and got me about 122 chains before I thought I had enough loot and lp. Took a good 45 minutes or so. Gambits are pretty useful when it comes to grinding. I sold the Bone Fragments and other stuff, and ended up with 22k Gil.
Bought some Ringmail in Rabanestre which should last me a while. I've got everyone a Mist Quickening. They're all now on their way to learning their second Mist ability.
I think I'm about prepared for Raithwall now. I'm leveling up underleveled characters (Vaan, Penelo, Ashe) to about 16 or so before I continue.
