Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
There are many Fantasies; but this, like the last, was Final [FFXI]

A stack of water anima runs around 810,000g.

I recently was gifted a thing in Steam. If it was from you, thank you very much!
That said, I will miss farming seals in the Prommies.

0.6 stacks of water anima sell every day (which is impressive considering the price.)
This is all fueling the reraise earring industry, so there is plenty demand for them.
I don't remember where I got erase...but it didn't seem to affect me very much. :lol:

It was 25k an hour.
It was freaking glorious.
It ended after 8k XP.
Back to campaign for now, as I spent 2 hours LFG as SAM/WAR.
Can't compare to a merit party though.
Edit: Referring to campaign.

Doubt it, they can't see my gear until I join.
Sad thing is, I'm still outdamaging the various colibri people I keep running into.
I guess I could logon and work on farming Darksteel... again... for rings/earrings/cape/etc. But christ, I hate doing that. The economy in FF11 is so freaking... borked.
Plus I know a bunch of people (myself included) remember people who bring 0 effort* to the party and refrain from inviting them again. <.< The 70s are when you can start to use your "endgame" gear anyway, may as well take some time off leveling to get it.
*Not saying you aren't working in the party, but level 15 gear and AF is generally frowned on, and sam AF is pretty distinctive.

Right now depending on the mob I can still be dispatched quickly at level 71, even if I put on a full evasion set. Of course my survivability would be a grant deal higher if I used Utsusemi, but I refrain from using food/tools while in campaign, just because it feels silly (especially food since getting one-shotted isn't outside the norm.)
Lacking a Joytoy really blows, my TP generation is suffering a great deal without it.
EDIT: Although if I just keep my eye on the prize I'm definitely going to pick up Saber Dance the moment I hit 75 to make up for the lack of Joytoy/Brutal/Double Attack period.
Questline was crazy easy but would have been easier if I could remember how to play black mage, I keep building macros wrong and wind up having to sift through the magic menu to look for the spell I want. Hopefully I'll have a different 50ish to use sooner than later so I don't need to constantly switch to blm to do stuff.
If the quest to have your fellow in the past isn't too high level try for that as well. Around level 10-17 is pretty good outside of Bastok Markets (S) because the Rock Eaters are higher level and the XP bonus of Sigil makes for some quick levels.
I'm surprised you're having issues as a DNC at that level, is your evasion capped? You shouldn't use shadows just because you get a ton of exp from damage taken.
If you have it, I would consider subbing PUP then. You can use the WHM or RDM puppet and deploy it out of range of the mob, then have it set to spam Cures and Regen on you and Flash on the mob. Give it a Scanner so it won't try to debuff/nuke. As a 68 PUP main, I can almost tank a campaign mob with my 27DNC subbed.
Eat food though. You shouldn't get one shotted because ideally you'll drag your mob away and will never be in range of those evil NMs. You basically want the battle to go on as long as possible so set up for pure survivability.

I got my lifebelt and haubby, I figure I'm good enough...
But yeah. Maybe it is time to look at gear upgrades. Suggestions for getting the 3-4 million gil for it, outside of RMTs? Farming Darksteel is barely worth it.
Aside from that BCNMs and Meat / Sapling Farming?
Ladybug Wings if you can't think of anything else?
Edit: You should only need ~2mil to get to decent levels.

Hey, an upgrade.

I'm pushing 300 Evasion with traits and gear, the problem is I still get hit for 120 or so probably 66% of the time. Even with Drain Samba III and Curing Waltz IV, I still push into danger depending on the mob.
My goal is to safely take the Quads that show up in Crawler's Nest, no one ever goes there, if I can solo those Jademaiden dudes I would roll in the XP/AN. Like I said my TP generation is the pits and I go out of TP way too early, things like No Foot Rise, Merit'd Reverse Flourish, and Saber Dance/Joytoy would obviously solve that problem, but it's still a grind to 75 and the merit points required.
PUP is level 2, I had considered RDM and play it like PLDs do, but Aspir Samba II with a Dagger doesn't drain enough MP to justify how much more of a beating I take compared to them, and Cure III just doesn't cure enough at 75.
Someone said to try Yagudos, but having to pick and choose which type to fight sucks, the one's that unequip you on the regular is a death sentence with the whole disappearing TP thing. I might take a break and level up NIN in prep for level 80.
Try looking into a Venerer Ring, their pretty cheap on my server. Problem I find with higher level SAMs is the pants, besides Republic Subligar (And who can really stand staring at their legs all the time) is their AF for the STR.

Ah yeah, I'm Windy past and present so I spend nearly 100% of my time in the Windy Campaign zones fighting Yags. None of the regular mobs that I've fought unequip me though, so not sure what you're referring to, I may just be lucky.
I think PLDs go /rdm because A) they have native enhancing skill so strong Phalanx and B) they have native cures so the rdm fastcast and mana is just helping those. I'm not sure it would work too well as a DNC main. You could try /blue for cocoon though maybe.
You don't necessarily *have* to solo though, you just want to avoid a quick battle. Basically you want to ensure that at least some mobs aren't brought in to the NPC guard meatgrinder to get slaughtered in seconds.

You'll probably need sneak/invisible for that. Especially if you want to get to East Ronfaure (S). Make sure you come from the past to the present in any zones you wish to unlock.
Yea apparently the sigil bonus was streamlined to signet, it's only an XP bonus for being in a party of less than 6.
Hope you like walking!
(Yeah it is a pretty miserable mechanic. At least you get zone warps in the end, which are amazing.)

Someone suggested some alternatives:
http://www.ffxiah.com/item.php?id=13312
Coral Earring, +5 Atk/-5 Eva, -1% Magic Damage. Higher level, but does the same thing as Spikes and Cheaper.
http://www.ffxiah.com/item.php?id=13449
+4 STR Ring. A bit more expensive, and L72, but gear is fun.

And I love the adventuring fellow. She does a better job than most group members although she won't skill chain with me yet, not sure if I need a higher bond or something
