Eggbug was here. Eggbug mattered.

Goblin Party @ My Brain 24/7 | A week shy of 33 before Cohost closed. Cis, ACAB forever, Trans Rights Are Human Rights forever.

RIP Cohost 2024. You were the best social media site to have ever been done. Long live eggbug. If you're seeing this in the future, on some archive, be kind to others. It's the only way things get better.

Finally.

All DoH jobs above lv70, and, more importantly, all specific DoH questlines complete!

MNR and BTN are both also done. I'm as far in FSH as the first weather-locked quest. I just... Find having to track down and use the right bait exceedingly tedious to do as naturally as the other DoL jobs. I'll try to leve-l it up and finish up those quests in one big push soon - I do really wanna keep them abreast, and CUL was a bit pricey w/o being able to fish the few fish that were needed, so... Don't wanna pass it up or I'll never get it done.

It's also so damn nice to have inventory space back, knowing that I truly don't need to hold onto most materials below a certain level (barring the most multi-recipe mats), and can slowly start to sell off what's valuable.

This got me over the 1mil gil mark, too. More than I've ever had before.

Truly a great bit of progress! Very pleased with myself.

As a helpful fishing tip: I found versatile lures often worked just as well as whatever bait they told me I needed when it came to fishing up stuff for the story quests. I think the one case that doesn't work is the optional "legend" storyline from Wawalago, but you don't need to do that (I still haven't caught the first one and I'm lvl90 now).

oh also, if you haven't done it out yet: Ocean Fishing is mad XP and a bit more fast paced if you find regular fishing a bit on the slow side. The main trick is don't waste GP on patience and go for bulk double/triple hooks instead.

Ocean Fishing as in voyages, or just like, saltwater fishing?

I have not done any voyage type things yet, as it hasn't come up in game as a thing I've been shown how to do, so I'm kinda waiting for it to come up, but we'll see! I'll keep it in mind, thanks!

Definitely not afraid to storebuy, but I've never jumped servers, so it's a little trepidatious for me - silly as that sounds!

I just don't want to buy someone's stack of 99, just because I need 1, y'know? That's actually how I've made a lot of my gil recently; selling 1 of something others are only dropping huge stacks of, at a higher price. Most folks still save gil and get exactly what they need.

I might hafta give it a try for FSH, we'll see! Thanks for the advice!
