A Home for a Tome [Black Mage 80]
-I last played my black mage over a year ago, back in part 152: http://coldrungaming.blogspot.com/2019/07/ffxiv-p...
Diving back into it was intimidating. Thank you all for your advice! As Azcr said, it ended up having a set rotation that ends up being susceptible to disruption.
I ended up enjoying it! I like red mage more for its rotation, tools, sustainability, and ability to resurrect, but black mage is right up there. Perhaps my second favorite job to play.
-Back on the Source, I meet up with Lalai. She’s still worried about how to best preserve Shatotto’s knowledge when it’s so frowned upon.
-Aw, Lalai is still in touch with the white mage frenemy! More of a bestie at this point.
-We approach the thaumaturges about putting down Lalai’s/Shatotto’s notes for their library. Their hesitant – this whole black magic thing – is kinda forbidden – but we can take it to Dewlalla, their head.
-There are already hints that Lalai’s aether is weird. Are we gonna get Shatotto popping in again?
-Yikes. Nothing so fun. She collapses; seems like Shatotto’s visit disrupted her aether in a major way.
Thank goodness she has a healer bestie to help her through this time.
-Our argument at the hearing is simple, but not easy: we should be able to keep pursuing dangerous knowledge to learn from it.
Prioress Dewlala in the greatest judicial costume ever.
-Success! And more personally, Lalai finds some acceptance and a new place as a black mage within the thaumaturge’s guild. It’s like legalizing and taxing certain drugs rather than just outlawing them!
…sorta.

This dark knight standing here looks like the Shadowbringers WoL:

Family portrait?
Catching the Halloween spirit:
A serious beachgoer:
I got some chocobo garb that makes my buddy look like a tiger:
Recently completed my upgraded red mage relic weapon in the Bozjan Southern Front:
Some great player names I saw recently:

Rolland Allgood
Dorphus Beansloober
Peanutbutter Cup

Next time: The next couple of things I plan to work on are my white mage (currently 35) and the sylph beast tribe storyline from A Realm Reborn. At least, until 5.4 drops.
