Status & Notes: 

Not a whole lot to talk about here... just another levelling day... actually made some decent progress. One thing I don't understand... alot of posts I've read when talking about levelling via trust in XI say that they should go kill Bloodsuckers at some point. I really don't understand how that could be more efficient than killing Hounds and Haunts...

Let me explain. You have to kill 9 Bloodsuckers to get the Ground Valor reward... this is really your main source of EXP in doing this. You only have to kill 5 hounds and 1 haunt for a total of 6 kills. The kills for hounds are quicker than killing the bloodsuckers. (Haunts are really about the same). Hound kills are also just alot easier than bloodsucker kills. Sure there are MORE bloodsuckers... and they tend to group more, but really if you're the only one camping Hounds/Haunts, there's really enough that you're not going to have downtime... okay I've had a *slight* amount of downtime once or twice, but honestly it is negligible... also, the Garms really give about as much XP/kill as a bloodsucker... so you're not getting any more XP from going this way... I really don't get it...

I mean unless you have some method of AoE or something maybe... anyway, today we're definitely going to hit Level 80... hopefully we'll also get started on the Chapter 5 stuff in X-2... you know... digging and what not.
