during the tanaka era of ffxi the strongest nm in the game was spawned by fatal framing pokemon until you could afford to pop a chain of bosses that eventually let you pop a boss fight that, conservatively, took 48 hours to complete
what i'm saying is, vegetal vouchers should be required to start a DSR run
This shit is why I treat FFXI players like vietnam vets, that place changed you and it's not your fault you're like this
before i played FFXI for over a decade, i played support classes in Utopia / Ragnarok Online / Anarchy Online / PSO EP1+2, then also dabbled in Maple Story / the original FlyFF
i've been broken for a very, very long time
So like I played FFXI for a month and a half maybe half a year after launch. I had played a little bit of MapleStory, Ragnarok Online, a bunch of PSO on Xbox Live, but I hadn't played an MMO proper.
I completely missed the quests in my starting town and just started grinding enemies outside. For a month (of spare time).
When I finally was around level 10 or so I was strong enough to go to the next zone, and got picked up by a grinding party and fought with them for about 30 mins before we disbanded. I then tried an enemy on my own and got destroyed.
I dropped the game lmao I thought MMOs were entirely grinding for months after
i really, really hope DT has real relics again :( it doesn't have to be a eureka-style grind but at the very least Bozja style, pleeeeease
I'm so with you on that, field zone relic grinds were my main content in ShB!! They did say we're getting a new zone, so surely...
