Sampling Saplings

Today Teila and I ran over to North Gustaberg (S) for a change of camp. We ran around outside the entrance to Bastok Markets (S) and fought the Tunnel Worms there, which checked as DC to us at L13. For a DNC with Drain Samba and a SCH with Healing Magic they were no problem so we decided to take on the Walking Saplings too.

We were in for a big shock. They crit regularly for 40-50 points of damage and these were DC mobs! It took nearly all Teila's MP to keep me alive (remember, I'm Taru with not much HP)! Worst thing was, despite their difficulty, we still only got around 50 to 60 XP with the Emperor Band on.

Anyway, we tried to leave Saplings alone as much as possible and concentrated on Worms, which were much easier. I could take down half their life with one Combo, which meant that we could rake through them.

When we both hit L14 we stopped and I logged out to have an early night.
