18? I don't think there was anything to do in Jeuno at low-levels until you hit 20 and you could get your chocobo license. And 20 was always the point where I left the Dunes behind for Qufim parties.

Subjob was at 18, hope you didn't run to Jeuno before doing it (which was extra fun when skeletons' Black Butt would one-shot everyone but the tank).

Chocobo license was at 20 and made you sit around for like ... four hours. I think if you missed a day the quest reset?

Qufim Island worms were suuuper sketchy at even level 19. An 18 no-subjob was gonna sit at the mouth of that cave for a few hours at least until some party being PL'ed by a level 42 white mage eventually picks them up out of pity. (Then the 42 WHM dies trying to melee Bogys to death and homepoints back to Windurst.)

Thanks for the nostalgia bomb.

spicyryan has an axe to grind against literally every human being that isn't him

I admire his dedication. I moved to Asura in maybe 2011 and he was already like that, for reference.

He does know as much about the game as you'd expect though, too.

Probably doesn't seem like much early on, but Shantotto II is nutballs if you play something doing dark oriented skill chains. She'll double dark and then magic burst off it and other nonsense.

Now to spend four or five hours getting Windower back up to speed and finding all the gear I used to swap and getting the lua running again, assuming I still even have those scripts...

This wasn't a joke. It took about this long to get my DRK choochin' the way it used to, even with mote's include handling most of the tricky bits. Still only have Scythe going and need to futz with GS set to get my 5-hit back.

I miss my lockstyle script already. It would equip my swag fashion and then lockstyle automatically.

2: Use Battlemod which has much better text logs but is fuckin arcane to configure and if you Google it it's basically like people asking "wait how do you set these text filters" and like stack overflow it's just a bunch of people being really lovely about "why don't you try reading the documentation"

https://pastebin.com/nsBGWwr0

Here's my filters.xml. It's not that hard it's just all in a different arrangement from the ingame filters (hierarchical).

Battlemod also makes all actions and damage pop up instantly, including skillchain text long before the animation plays. I used to have a config that emulated the default log just to have that advantage alone.

At least Asura is good for shank supply. Now I can leave for less congested pastures.

I don't actually know if it took me more than twenty. This was probably my seventh or eighth since coming back though.

BUT! Do not, under any circumstances, do the Bastok storyline in Wings unless you have help. There's an escort mission involved that is extremely hard to solo, even at item level.

I am pleased to report that I switched back to Bastok and still had to abuse some PLD/WHM poo poo to solo this, but did manage to.

I'm sure the old adage that Maat's Cap owners are terrible at all of their jobs goes double on private servers.

That exactly the "all grind no skill" that these throwback servers attract because that's all 75 era ever was, and they were all convinced of crafting astrology to boot. Want there a dev post that slapped it down entirely?

Jesus I don't have the time to grind that many per week lol

Can hit that in an hour or less at endgame pace, just to clarify why it exists when that constitutes about a million gil.
