I decided to swear off dungeon running for a week and to take up my old craft from FFXI: the official LS Cook.
I blew through level 16 or so in a few hours before hitting a brick wall at the AH ingredients recipes. I burned through my gil (~90k left after buying a Cashmere hat of casting last week) and pushed it to lvl 24 through leves. Down to only 10k, I decided to go unlock Botanist and give it a try.
I am an ADDICT.
I spent about 9 hours straight levelling BTN. I completed every log through level 20 in every zone, did the first four class quests, and farmed me up 99-stacks of snails, ash logs, Lavender, and tons of other stuff. I was picky about what I farmed in bulk and closed the day back up to 79k with whole piles of good stuff still on the MB for sale.
I've even got my FC filtered off my chat. Just me and the trees, man!
