I haven’t tested it in the last decade but have no reason to believe it was nerfed.

Did not hear of anyone else putting that much time in to take a region, to draw SE’s unwanted attention etc

Getting gas on the way home using the gas stations mobile app
And it tells you to “begin fueling” and when you’re done, the pump says, “approved”

Like Yeah no ***you grumbo, what the frick else could you say at that point, “declined, please return fuel” ?

It's finalizing the transaction. Usually, gas stations put a huge hold on your card (some places as high as 75$). This is because they don't know how much gas you're going to take until you finish filling up. Even if you ran off, they would pocket the surcharge and call it a day. Given that you filled to a designated amount it voids the previous pending sale and then sells you the gas that you took.

Don't worry, once the Galkas overthrow President Karst, they'll rule the world!

Ah, this takes me back to my teenage years where the only politics I ever got engaged in were about which of the three starting nations were the best and worst.

Clearly it's Windurst, because the Star Sibyl always just faints or is overwhelmed by her premonitions/plus lies about knowing identities of people it would behoove her to let other people know about/she's awful/I hate her. In a strange way, this makes her very memorable to me, but dear god, couldn't she at least have been campy and hilarious like that Himbo, Prince Trion?

President Karst is a pretentious A-hole, but at least the Mythril Musketeers are awesome. +2 for Volker's connection and meetings with Zeid. +3 for Ayame and Naji's relationship. +4 for Iron Eater being involved in the quest, "The Weight of Your Limits." (Steel Cyclone WSNM, literally my favorite Weaponskill in the game, to some extent still is).

I like all three nations because of their history. They're all super far from perfect, yet they try so hard to be the best. It feels so real.

The themes for Bastok and Gustaberg are 11/10, but so is the theme for Heavens Tower. But Ronfaure is visually beautiful (and its music is also mind-bogglingly perfect) and I appreciate the layout of San d'Oria overall. The politics of Windurst really intrigue me, and I have this feeling that the designers for the city put probably the most effort into weaving its history into it.

They did such a good job with the starting nations, I could talk about them all day lol

All this talk of the starting cities is making me want to play more than I currently do (which is like once a month). I really miss the old days when I spent a lot of time there, just doing quests for the heck of it and immersing myself in the environments while I slowly leveled up.

To quote Don Henley, "Those days are gone forever. I should just let 'em go, but...."

You could say that about almost all of the storylines. I just finished WOTG again recently and it was done really well imo. The game is still there to be enjoyed, that might not always be the case. I just hope something good is coming with that 2022 announcement.

That's exactly what I'm doing with my LP character. Slow and steady. Taking my time. Unlocking every job(I never leveled everything, skipped on stuff like BRD, PLD, BLM, SMN). Going to level everything, if only to earn more gil through sparks and NPCables and whatever I can AH.

It's crazy man. I got Tenshodo Invite today, and went in there... they straight up sell like all of the hard to get quested spells. Utsusemi: Ichi for 13,981 gil from an NPC...

Scroll of Teleport <Insert Crag Here>: 36k

I refuse to buy it, though. I have already started trading Zinc and I don't have to get very much more!

That's what I've been doing since I returned about a year ago. What a lot of people don't realize is that even though FFXI can be the most hardcore of all MMO's, it doesn't have to be. I haven't touched an endgame event since I resubbed, with exception of the time that I wandered into Ambuscade once just to check it out.

Endgame gear only begets more endgame gear. I guess I can't vouch for Wings of the Goddess or the Voracious Resurgence, but so far every storyline I've completed can be done with the bare minimum equipment and a few of your favourite trusts. You don't need a 119-III Tizona to take down the Cloud of Darkness lol

Get a high paying job that lets you work from home (like software engineer or something).

Im actually studying for it.

It just sometimes too good to be true that that approach is actually viable.

We will see when I improve my techniques in the future. My plan is to earn some money for a long stay in Europe but kinda hurts when one coin in my country is worth like less than 0,2 coins of euros. So I would need some saving so I can stop working and move there.

Best of luck, Panta! What are you studying for?

It's often better not to look at the exchange rate to gauge the value of currency. If your coin is only 20% as valuable, but your net salary is 5x higher than (for example) someone from Germany for the same amount of work, it makes no difference.

For example, the Canadian Dollar is only worth 0.79 American Dollars. But if you look at prices and wages, it takes fewer hours of work for a Canadian to own a house or buy lunch or something.
