a lot to catch up

despite all the crap going on at my job, I been able to make early waxing crescent sessions for the past 2 weeks, even if it means having to crawl out of bed sooner than normal. On the 15th, I woke up an hour early to do this before work in Jugner Forest, even though it was the one day of the week I really didn't want to do it (Iceday):




I got nothing during the early waxing crescent that took place the ensuing weekend, partially due to the fact it wasn't elemental season in Jugner/Carpenters.

The next early waxing crescent was on August 22 right before JP midnight time, so I had a chance to do 200 successful digs during that moon phase. Due to the timing, however, I had no choice but to dig during 7% (where I never have success) but I was surprised to see this shortly after digging:


However, it was the only ore of that session, due to very high competition (every high level JP A10 digger was pretty much accounted for). Pashhow remained dug out for the rest of that moon phase.

I got home from work the ensuing Saturday just in the for early waxing crescent, so I went to Jugner as elemental season was starting to take shape. I failed to pull up ores, but made a little profit off Oak Logs and Mistletoes.

Then it comes today. Moon phase was in middle of the night/early morning hours. I decided to crawl out of bed at 05:00 CDT because I'll be waking up at that time for the rest of the week due to work. I quickly get enough inventory cleaned out (by muling or putting on AH), and then bought enough greens. I took my chocobo to Jugner at 14% Lightsday, even though there were 20 light ores on the AH. I have yet to dig a light ore myself and this moon phase rarely falls during lightsday, and my given success at 14% in recent session made me do it. It was now Thunder Elemental season, and before long this happened:



It was the only ore of the session. JP midnight is 2 hours away but the moon phase will be over by then.

When it hasn't been the early waxing crescent phase, I been doing time in Rolanberry pulling up 1 to 3 orich ores per run. With the newest update, I expect the ores to go up in price.
