Almost two weeks into the new year...
Level 75 SAM!!
is what I'd like to say. ^.-
I did however manage to bring BLU, COR, PUP to 20. Now I can use the Miramete XP scrolls on either 3 of the jobs. I find it strange how the WOTG jobs (SCH, DNC) hit 40 first while the TAU jobs were still level 10. I even got BST to 40 first!
PUP
I'll probably focus on PUP using XP scroll + Campaign + Besieged since its not a great job for me in my opinion. I spent maybe 300k on all the "non-expensive" attachments. I bought close to 20 some attachments costing roughly 10k each!. Then spent another 100k on upgrading the automaton twice. I've definitely been spoiled at the fast attack speed of MNK. Waiting for the punches while as PUP was agonizingly slow.
BLU
I'd like to use BLU in the PCC BCNM so I at least have to physically go out and learn spells. Getting the spells though IS a *COMPLETE* pain in the ass. I swear there has to be some sort of trick involved in learning spells.
COR
The mules are not yet finished with sub-crafts. So I can't make bullets yet. I literally think going ranged attack is probably the best thing to do for this job. Though the number of rolls to do so far is limited (COR, NIN, RNG, WHM), it feels like I can get away with doing alot less than I should. The one minute timer on Phantom Roll is a pain. I've been conditioned partly by BRD and I've tried to roll different job dice but couldn't because of that timer.
Fields of Valor
This new system isn't that bad. Its really great for solo/duo/trio parties. However, everyone is doing it which results in lack of mobs quite alot of times. I personally think the tab rewards could be raised slightly. The buffs that Fields of Valor gives are very nice. I've gotten Reraise, Regen, and Refresh. Its almost impossible to die!
Treasure Caskets
The brown treasure caskets are sometimes a complete joke. About 50% of my caskets gave enough hints to open it. The other 50% gave hints that were useless. Sometimes hints were "first digit is even" and "second digit is even." I just wasted two attempts at useless hints. Good hints are "the number is greater than X and less than Y" and "first digit is A, B, C." Hints like these tend to narrow down the number quickly without having to waste an attempt to unlock it. The rewards however are pretty bland. I've gotten Protect earring, silent oils, antidote, zinc ore, echo drops, ethers, and other stuff.
The blue treasure caskets are the best. I tend to use just about everything the chests can provide. They have potions, ethers, elixirs, TP wings, antidotes, catholicon (remedies), silent oils and prism powders. The best are the ethers and potions. The only complaint I have is that people who get these blue caskets dont' always take all the items. Does anyone know how long caskets are remain out until they "despawn"? I sometimes go thru and get a string of them in clumps then nothing for 10-15 min.
