Corsair's seems especially useless. "Oh yeah, it's kind of like Wild Card, but instead of being able to use your ability right away, it still has 15 minutes left instead of 45. And it can only reset SP abilities." :effort:

I need to finally start killing whats his face for the hearts. Still like 0/75 :I

I really hope they change the requirements for the 95, I don't think there are even 1500 HMPs on the server anymore.

Are the servers still bone-dry? Last I logged on there weren't even 600 people on at NA prime.

Today is my 10-year anniversary of finally finishing POL updates and logging on for the first time. I got this game in Christmas of 2003, and I had dial-up, so the update literally took two days :v:

That's one thing I love/hate about this game. Even after a decade, many of the mechanics are still being debated. Have the devs ever confirmed whether direction even has any effect on crafting?

I'm pretty sure this question was asked at one of the Vanafests, and the devs literally laughed and said "face whichever way your heart tells you"

Not even close. I know who it is. That account auction there looks to be for someone who went big in the abyssea era (all empy+2), and then quit, Came back briefly and decided to finalize leaving. He's got no recent gear.

Speaking of, how hard would it be to get recent gear if I don't do anything like 2/3boxing? I was thinking about coming back with a friend, but I quit at the start of SoA (When Delve was new), but I'm really wary due to the low server numbers these days.

You'd get into some events as cor, but you'd really need the flexibility to do a few more potential party slots. getting to 119 in gear wouldn't be too hard, since you can also get the papers via records of emminence. The only event that's hard to break thru to is delve.

I also have WHM and RDM at 99, and I think WAR is pretty high up there, but they are even worse geared :negative: RDM hasn't been geared since 99 was first introduced, and I don't even have a full set of Empy+1

Could you do a few runs early Friday starting around 12pm edt, which would be 11am cdt. Maybe a few after work? Saturday we could do whatever, and do some Ra'Kaznar runs and/or some Yorica runs before Kazy/Suteru gets back from work and is logged in. That would also give us time to either buy or farm up some skirmish pieces.

I can probably do early Friday as well. Though I am helping my sister move tomorrow it seems, starting at 5 EST. I should be back home before 8 or so probably.

Blech, helping sisters move is the worst. I had to help my sister move twice a year until she got into medical school. I would rather sniff an elephant's butt than help my sister move.

Anyway, the general consensus is early Friday and anytime on Saturday. That is what I am shooting for. Early Friday will be a few page runs till whoever needs to go to work. Saturday we can do 1-5 page skcnms and yorica/outer ra'kaznar skirms. Farming for some skirm pieces would help offset some of the costs. Which pages does everyone need?

I can't help it, I'm the one with the car, even if it is a Mini :v:

I have my hat at i119 now, and I just i109'd the gloves, so I need body, legs, and feet. I want to get Page 2 done first though. But if not, I have RDM that could use the other pages. I don't have any of the Enigmatic Devices for Skirmishes, so I'd need someone to help guide me.

The best way to go about this is to sell them in a bazaar them for 1 gil. Just make sure no one is in zone. I have a beastly shank on all of my mules. You might as well have those because they are just taking up inventory space.


I would do that so much, if I played cor. I think you can make gearswap lock certain item slots. I know you could do that with spellcast.

I'll still need help so I'll be on tomorrow around 12pm CST if that's good for you. Going to be using a lot of shanks unless I somehow get the best luck in the world so you'll probably want to set you HP in Port Bastok where my mules all are when we do this.
