Smn Burn Getting Crowded And Expensive

I was typing something that was along these lines before I read this. Knowing your job is the important part.. not testing your patience lfp in dunes/qufim/jungle/crawlers nest/ERs/quicksand/wajoam etc.

To be perfectly fair, most of the people that I see burning are the ones who have done all of these camps on multiple jobs before and are great players that just want to try something new in endgame or bcnms or just want a new subjob without having to spend months at it. It isn't all just noobs who want to rush to endgame.


Who has burned and is now bragging about how many levels they have gotten or how "better they are"? Only ones I see with an ego about this are the old players who did everything the old way..

I know how you feel, but the best way IMO to level your sub jobs (solo) would be to sub it with BST.
So much fun, and pretty fast solo EXP :P
Leveled my DNC, THF and NIN to the 50's this way (for the incoming update!), and soon my other jobs like RDM and WHM.

Never once tried to get a PT on NIN other than that one LS pt where I was the only one LFP in it, and said I would not Main tank (was in the 40's, so it's kinda easier to DD I guess, so no harm done O.o).
Luckily it's a NIN burn pt too lol... Who mained tanked in it anyways?

I don't like the idea of smn burns personally, but it's pointless to *** openly about it, as it's considered a legitimate part of the game at this point.

You do realize that skill ups aren't going to be an issue for most of these people either, because they can always just use a bot.

And besides, a lot of players do a hell of a lot worse things than astral burning; I don't see why people are focusing on something so trivial in comparison.

Because someone who fishbot dont use a whole zone and believe they own that zone, they dont come to this forum and QQ everytime someone else catch a fish?

Kalyna: you mustave had some pretty poor NINs tanking then or something to that effect,I've never had problems holding my own tanking.
NIN/DRK tank omega often with zero issues,Sometimes I can't shed hate when I need to.
Support effects it too^^/ slow response can make any tank look bad,btw.
Besides situational is situational.

What is the basis for the prices listed? Is it per hour, per level, to 75, or just for 1 cycle of 2hrs?

Thats why they smn burn their nin and rdm lol

"QQ dont make me main heal, RDM = ENFEEBELING onry!"

"QQ Dont make me tank on NIN, because I is gud DD on NIN/DNC"

Generally is 150k in Fairy for 40-50k XP
Just add up the XP it takes to take a SYNC lvl 12 spot to level 22.

I never done SMN burn on this main character... I only did couple of sync spots on 2 mules out of curiosity, that's about it. I enjoy more doing PWR XP parties (yes I do carry a pocket tarutaru) HOWEVER, all(16/20 so far) my jobs i have taken to 75 on XP parties. I laugh at those ppl paying 150k to burn their jobs on a leech spot and then spend 8-10 hours in CAPE TERRIGAN skilling up. TRUST ME you DON'T want to get to NYZUL ISLE on a MERIT PARTY UNDERSKILLED (LOW ACC/LOW WEAPON SKILL/ETC. And it doesn't matter if you have PL or NOT. People are just lazy to from parties.

It is very simple /sea all invite 67-75 or whatever, Get a TANK, GET a HEALER, GET a few DD's and/or a Fisherman.
If you are not able to perform this simple task then /sea all pwr and ask me (im usually leader on XP parties)
I won't be able to fetch the 40-50k per hour but on a good day we can fetch 100-120k XP

If we RANDOMLY CAPITALIZE stuff it adds emphasis rather than using the emphasis TAGS.

I really think people forget that EXP is a means to the end, not an end to the means.

It is usually based on per cycle of 2hrs. Depending on the amount of pullers and how well they are working together the pull can be anywhere from 20 minutes (counting the 10 minute repop time on mobs) to about 45 minutes or so.

For me, it's the cost of the desired "leech" spot. It's for the ability to get exp on a job that isn't used for a SMN burn.

Neither is killing a bunch of mobs via AoEs exploiting any game mechanics in any way.

BLMs have -aga'd ***around years before ToAU.

[UNDERSKILLED] What about ppl doing campaign Battle from 60 to 75.

idk about other server, but on fenrir is getting harder and harder to get/build a PT. No need to say how ppl can act sometime and leave PT randomly just bc they not doing enought EXP/h.

I really dont see anything wrong with SMN burn PT.

Yea it took me like 20mins to get an invite on cor,
I was in rage mode >:O

How is paying to AB any different than paying a merc shell to get your items?

Or offering money to a BRD or COR to join your merit party? lolpaying4exp

Too many MAATS HAT! -.- now i mostly think ppl just bought the hat. buy the smn burn, fight him and poof hat

Lol I wish people would pay me to join.

Mercing is different imo.

>< oh oh here we go, ppl gonna start say everyone with maat cap got it with smn burn.

I didnt get mine that way, i just asked GM and he gave me one. was 1 week before i ask him 1 zillion gil.

hmmm. explain?

smnburn is only good for one thing: leveling up a subjob you don't wanna bother with for long.

also wtf is with these necrobumps?

I really need to explain why mercing is different to smn burning?

yes?

first explain what mercing is (i've never done it/never heard of it yet and i'm curious now.)

When I started thinking of getting a Maat's Cap I already had 8x 75 Maat Jobs and it was pre Level Sync, FoV, WOTG etc was introduced to FFXI. So I had to level it "old school", having crappy camps like Garlaige, CN etc (eventho I've had some decent parties there).

The other jobs however, I tried to exp in East Ronfaure S from 37 - 55, whenever it was possible. Just to avoid the annoying above said camps (having to go there with 9 jobs and some other SJs was enough ~.~). When I was seeking I never refused any of these camps tho if i got invited there (only refused to exp in the dunes lol).

The only job i REALLY hated to exp was BST. Whenever I had to exp on it I was truly annoyed. I used to form my own parties almost since I started because I hate seeking. But on BST ppl would even reject invites if you wanna start a party <.< (especially when you have to level during JP prime time on a server with not many other EUs). So ya.

When my bst was 61 I was just so sick of the slow progress and of the whole job, I burned the remaining levels to 66 lol. And I was VERY thankful for that. I'd rather pay for a few exp than go on with the BST torture.

I totally understand the ppl who wanna AB the SJs they prolly need but hate to play.

It's kinda poor tho to AB most of the Maat jobs just to obtain the cap. I mean the cap really isnt THAT great, so why blow millions of gil for leech spots just to show off with it? Kinda stupid imo.

You has a good opinion and is hawt, where bouts in England U from?

I dont know whats worse tbh joining an AFB party or joining a "PWR lvled" party with Pwrless, ego way up at 10, and a taru 75whm that never leaves you. You know dying and making a NORMAL party means one without a PL too is actually fun you know.

Are you really that dim?

---if you still play and read the forums---

My mindset is of old MMO and D&D where the tank takes ALL the hate and noone else should take the hate away from them. DRK can take hate easilly with Black Magic and rediculously high WS damage. Only reason why people like NIN tanks is because they think Copy Image is effective. It's not. Get over it. I've been with people claiming they're the best NIN tanks. They don't take hate. They get the party killed then leave claiming the 5 other people are bad players, whereas, when we replace him with a, let's say, WAR/DNC, we survive and do good EXP for hours.

I know DNC can be a tanking class (after seeing Animated Flourish at lvl20) For me, i'll only use it to take the mobs away from the mages, assuming we have a main tank. But DNC being a main tank would be a bad idea because you basically need TP and finishing moves to get the party going whereas WAR and PLD/WAR have their JA of "Provoke" (40WAR/20DNC and higher have both provoke and animated flourish, great way to keep hate alongside their decently high damage and decent armor)

as for RDM: I'll be healing. I like to heal. I don't mind healing but a healing RDM is basically a dumbdown version of a WHM which is why they have access to convert and refresh, cuz they waste mp more than a WHM until then assuming no BRD.

I'm also interested in hearing this answer :popcorn:

I agree with that. I also did my first 14 job 75 'old style' but like i said in previous post, is getting harder and harder on my server to gather together a PT, is even worse if you LFG.

1~11 (solo ez) 12-20 (AB or V.Dune?...) 20~40 Qufim/Kazham/CN/GC ( i can stand these zone ) but 40~55? option is level sync, Quick sand cave again these anoying Ant, GC again BAT with they anoying attack downm or K.Tunel with these crazzy high DEF crab and these bunch of new style player spaming whitout SC/MB freeze/Blizzard... then 55~75 = aht Urhgan zone where the real fun start and TBH at this point i dont see why ppl would AB it..

Alright i probably missed some zone like: in the past, but then you invite someone and he say: Sry no access.
Oo are you still trying to figure it out ?! Take your time we all impatient to hear it :)
