Continuing from previous entry, I moved to Quicksand Caves. Luckily there was no EXP party there, so all the Beetles were mine. I started off by engaging just 1 Helm Beetle first. Then I felt confident that I could handle 2, so I moved to link them. However, there can always be an accident…. The 3rd one also linked and I found myself in tough situation. They ate my Stoneskin very quickly. Defender could help just a little. There were many times that my HP went down to about half. I could not sit for MP, so I had to melee and spam Mystic Boon instead.

At some point I had to kill 2 of the Beetles to keep me alive and be able to rest for a while. Only then I could realize that these Helm Beetles are actually Easy Prey to me, not Too Weak. Oof!!!

Then I crashed onto the bed because it was sooooo late at night in my country.

So this last part of Shield Skill Up Session went on for 1 hour, gaining me 15 Levels of Shield Skill.

Some people may ask…. You play MNK and WHM, why the hell would you go through troubles to level up your shield skill? Or course, because I can and I wanted to, LOL. Oh well, I was bored and this session was entertaining. That’s main reason. Also, it might be useful if my WHM blocks with shield more often because it gets whacked around sometimes too!  Who knows, shield skill might same my ass when I pull hate in Dynamis or in Sky sometimes!?
