Well, it is that time folks. As I type this, I am sitting on level 69 with just about 40%. The third job is near. At this rate, within a few hours of getting off work I will have reached level 70 with Imboo, HeavensIFury, ChilIyCheese, and maybe more, and will have completed the Job Advancement with them and LuvFatPigs. Then on to 71!

Now, there are good and bad things about finally hitting 70 (and 71) and becoming a Chief Bandit. The good things are fairly obvious: New skills, new armors, I can wear my level 70 Maple Hat, and I can finally move away from the PQ world into some mindless grinding and such.

Bad things: Everyone and there dog can get to level 71 in Mardia. The true test comes from going on after that into the 80s, 90s, and today. Erm…100s. Stupid radio. Also, I have no idea what skills I need to put points into right now, so I may need to find a high level CB friend or drown in the process. I also have no hope right now of obtaining a Kandine, considering almost nobody is selling one, and I can NOT fight werewolves. Oh well…that will come later.

The only thing I am not really certain about with the Job Advancement is fighting the Dark Lord. I’ve done it as a mage, but not a thief, so I’m not exactly certain what to expect. I do know that my elixers will finally be put to good use after 70 levels of gathering.

Oh gosh. I just remembered that I have about 65 levels worth of quests left undone. Oh well, they can stay that way. If I’ve gone this long without doing them, I obviously don’t need the rewards that badly.

Off for now, work to do.
