I've tried about a dozen times, and I absolutely loathe soloing pets on my BLM40. I need to get it up soon before the new cap next month. I think I'm just going to abuse Fields of Valor by getting regimes and killing the mobs with my alt. I'm hoping I can get 4-5K exp a pop by planning ahead and getting a regime then heading out when I can do 2 more back-to-back.
The obvious solution is astral burns. It really isn't that hard.

I know I ended up exping my BLM to 49 for subjob purposes but for some reason I can't remember the 40ish range until about 47/48. It's possible I've mentally blocked those levels because soloing sucks at those levels :(

Yeah, the low 40s are absolutely horrible to solo.

Meh... in the case of leveling subjobs, I don't see anything wrong with SMN burning.

No, he's referring to my moral beliefs that it's wrong to blow through the leveling process on a main job. It creates retards. However in a case such as your new taru RDM, you obviously leveled the job before so it's understandable why you would want to push through it as fast as possible.

Exactly. My options are incredibly risky camps in Castle Zvahl, or incredibly slow camp in Xarc. I have my Bard alt I could bring with me to speed things up at either spot, but meh... like I said, I just don't like soloing pets.

Opps, forgot to follow this one up:

It really doesn't. It just makes it easier for retards to get to 75+ quickly. They'd be retarded whether they spent 75 levels exping or not.

8/20 jobs are dd jobs which can easily be picked up, learned and mastered in about 5 minutes. 6/20 (rdm, pld, smn, sch, brd, blm) are played completely different at 75 than they are at 1-74, and do not even sort of benefit from the leveling process.

That leaves 6 more jobs, whm, bst, blu, cor, pup, dnc. whm, cor, and dnc are all very simple, two of which are basically dd jobs, with some buffs/heals, and whm obviously is an easy job to play. I suppose whm benefits from memorizing which debuffs are inflicted by which ws, but checking wiki before any fight will teach them that easily enough.

bst and pup you may have a valid point about, but since i've never played either or even done basic research on them, i'm not comfortable arguing either way.

Finally, we have blu. This job can be a bit more complicated than most, but really the basic functions of the job are simple enough, and anything more than that isn't really going to be learned in exp parties anyway.


Basically almost nothing in learned in exp parties that can't be quickly learned post 75.

Retards ABing create retarded players.


I've Abed at least 3 jobs at this point and I'm proficient in all of them Smiley: frown. Though I don't really consider thief, summoner, scholar, and dark knight that difficult.

I'm on the side of idiot players will be idiots no matter what and however they leveled their job. I'm sure you've seen countless players who leveled the long way and still hit 75+ with no clue how to gear their job at all. AB, or leeching in Abyssea parties won't stop or create them.
#1839 Aug 24 2010 at 7:32 PM Rating: Excellent
Also, I'll pull and set up ABs right now because I'm ******* tired of terribad abyssea leeching to get DRK to 75/80.

I'd be up for running a few this weekend if you can make those, if someone has a rdm mule they'd be willing to lend to hold that's even better.

One is actually pld, and one is level 70, so really i only have one, so i don't have "rdm mules", just a rdm mule. Unless you count the other one i have that isn't active, then i guess i do.

According to his Facebook post (Which you should see if you have Professor as your friend on FB), he's been using his internet at school.

IN OTHER NEWS! I have the next two days off. If anyone wants to plan something like ACP/MKE/ASA or MMM for Subs or Abyssea or what have you, I will be here.

Also, been playing Scott Pilgrim since its PSN release. Finally unlocked NegaScott as of five minutes ago. Not only is it a new character to play as, having him unlocked makes the "Chaudown" trophy/achievement possible (which is my last trophy before I have 100% trophy completion).
