Spent whole day pugging EX1 ( got EX2 on farm already ).

Got one clear fairly early on but then problems with other pugs, this last one wasn't going to happen I was already tired but decided to join anyway.
We spent probably two and a half hour there and had issues with dps ( a lot of the other dps kept dying particularly to the green marks ).
Then we got the boss to 0.5% and wiped and the pull after that we did it and the mount dropped + caster bracers ( I was on BLM and the only caster DPS ).
Won both .

I was feeling bad my luck had been complete garbage in EX2 always rolled like 20-40, 50-60 if I was lucky as hell.
I also thought coffers dropped in EX1 so I cleared it first on MNK but wanted a coffer for BLM and lost two Striking ones that dropped to a Reaper dps who essentially got hard carried...
Rolled a 91 on mount and was expecting to lose because ofc that's my luck.
But nope I lucked out.

Nice christmas present lol.

Congrats!

I've been too chicken to run the Extremes again without my friends. It's mainly because I was waiting for my visiting brother to finish the MSQ though.

I got the Rapier and some accessories for jobs that I likely won't be raiding on... I want the PLD sword pretty bad, but I'm so lazy/chicken right now lol.

I used to really enjoy PUGs, and I'm not exactly sure when I stopped enjoying them. Chaotic. Fluid. I used to go PUG extremes on other data centers even, just to see different strats.

But I feel like it's a hassle now for some reason. Strange how times change.
