We were basically vagabonds, drifting between brothels like dandelions until these clubs came along and turned it all upside down.

I hate when the catbook has you doing ancient, long-obsoleted content that nobody ever queues for... like the current normal raid series

Just to make sure im not missing something, you cant do these with NPCs now, can you?

Use your second chance points and reroll something easy like the pvp or lv 90 dungeon or an ARR extreme you can unsync.

Pretty sure I read that it's 60 cents for 1m gil either here or on reddit earlier today. These people really do be e-prostituting themselves for 18 cents an hour in fake money, huh.

Frontlines hot tip: just yell out random times for objectives! I had the circle map with the 6 nodes on it, and the only people to talk in /a were giving us the wrong times so the whole team would be up there like 5 whole minutes early, while we lost all our points. It was pretty funny how we all kept falling for it.

Remember, there's nothing you can do to make your team win, but there's LOTS you can do to make them lose and you just have to choose not to do any of it

I always think it's interesting how people make money in this game outside the typical questing/marketboard systems implemented by the devs. People who are really good at gposing, running roleplay venues and cafes, house decorating, and yeah even up to ERPing and run selling. People have found flexible ways to make and use gil in a way that you don't have to necessarily be patient with crafting or lucky with map drops to earn towards whatever your goal is.

alternate puritanical response: how do you know what a reasonable price for ERP is?

It's the price of all the commodities and services (food, shelter, training, etc) that develop and sustain the ERPer's ability to continue working scaled to the hour. Unfortunately, as prefab prompts, scripts, and AI chatbots all combine to deskill the profession, we can expect this wage to shrink.

Why are these people paying for sex with prostitutes? They should just hook up with the other people who are paying for sex and cut out the middle man.

(The world’s oldest profession is the oldest for a reason.)

To get ERP for free you need to write well enough for someone to go "y'know what, this could be fun."

Paying for ERP is the alternative for when no one's interested in picking up what you're putting down.

I have joked that sure, I'd rent time with my G'raha Tia alt for a million gil an hour but that is not nearly enough gil for that kind of headache. I make enough on the marketboard, I'm fine.

Is that Reddit comment saying that they’d have paid for the billboard rental but then have to pay even more if they weren’t going to have an ad up there? That makes no sense.

basically: if you want the ad removed early, you have to call the physical billboard crew out to remove it, except they don't then put up a new billboard, and i'm assuming those guys are billing a minimum number of hours regardless of how long it takes for them to remove the single ad

I don't know if it's true in this case but I've seen similar things elsewhere. It basically treats the billboard being up but not used as wasted time/hurts their reputation because there's an empty billboard up/etc.
