Australian looking for a casual savage prog group on a US data center, that either plays Weekend Evenings (US Time) or some Weekday Mornings (US Time). Too many friends here to want to leave for Materia, but not enough awake at the same time as me!

I work strange hours, so I'm not available at identical times every week, but when I'm online I main DNC, and I keep SGE/RPR geared for current savage content as well, though I'm a little out of practice on those - give me a week or two of prog / reclears as one of those, and I'll be good.

Generally, when not working at night, I'm available... ==> TUESDAYS 19:00-00:00 ACDT (ie. Mondays 03:30-08:30 EST) ==> THURSDAYS 19:00-00:00 ACDT (ie. Wednesdays 03:30-08:30 EST ==> SATURDAYS / SUNDAYS alternating weeks, 09:30-14:00 ACDT (ie. Fri/Sat 18:00-22:30 EST) Once approximately every 6 weeks, I will be working for the weekend, and won't be available Sat/Sun (Fri/Sat US). I'll also have the occasional Saturday afternoon commitment that will need me to be free in the morning, that the alternating weeks don't account for - I'll communicate these ahead of time :) Roughly two weeks (usually in a row) out of every 6 weeks, I will be working for most of the PM hours my time - I'll be unavailable Tues/Thurs at times specified above for those weeks, however I'll instead be available any weekday my time from 9:30am until about 12pm. (ie Sun-Thurs 18:00-20:30 EST)

As some bonus class points: I used to main BLM, despite latency - I'm not fantastic at it, but if it's needed, and you're patient, I've seen enough of the current tier that I know where most of the leyline sweet spots are, so my DPS probably won't be too bad, and I'm interested in at least having a bit of a shitposty crack at relearning it. I've also got DRK up to level (but not quite iLvl) that I'd be down to have a crack at, though I'll need to learn how and when to tank swap properly, and for what it's worth, SCH / SMN are at 90 as well - one's rusty, one's been very lazily dragged along and is missing skills, but shouldn't be too hard to go pick them up.

Started doing old Savage content late 2021 - first "big" clear was O12S, unsynced, shortly after Endwalker launch. Goodbye, world.

Started doing current Savage content mid 2022 - cleared P1S as a BLM my first time in there, near 6.1 launch, beat P2S not too long after loot drops unlocked, shortly after switching to DNC. Never got past P3S's notorious party finder bottleneck, but tried really hard, dabbling in SGE to try for quicker fill times. Since Abyssos Savage launch (but before 6.3!), I've cleared P5/6/7S, and begun progging P8S - all either through party finder or as a fill for groups I'd found there while progging Asphodelos. I've entered every fight totally blind to what mechanics to expect - I'm particularly pleased to say I made it through P7S on my fourth time in an instance, having seen the whole fight by the end of my first try (though I was absolutely joined by 3 friends who had cleared previously and were giggling like mad in VC, and by 4 others in PF who had also previously cleared - so, while I AM clever, I'm not quite that clever).

I've also cleared E4/8/12S - all at 90 with a group still easing into the idea of savage stuff, but across varying classes - largely DRK/DNC for E4S (taking every vuln stack known to man), DNC/BLM for E8S and DRK/BLM/DNC for E12S.

I've filled for two different statics intermittently across both Asphodelos and Abyssos based on where I / those groups were with prog, as one of either DNC, SGE or RPR depending on group needs at the time, however my availability never allowed me to fully join either group as a static member while they were seeking to find an extra person. I've stayed in both groups as a fill they can call on for reliably passable DPS / mechanical skill if needed - they know that if I'm free, I'm there - and have made a few friends in those groups and elsewhere.

My FUNNY DAMAGE NUMBERS aren't perfect - no pretty colours for any savage content yet - but I can clear and contribute to damage pretty reliably, so if you're not seeking perfection (or current tier ultimate clears - yet) but are happy so long as I pull my own weight, then HAVE I EVER GOT THE RAID BUFFS FOR YOU.
