I'm sorry, been away from the game for a year, just returned two days before SE had to turn the servers off. Could someone explain what keybox is?

Chests drop from mobs in abyssea zones, you can open them manualy, but most peole use the keys you have to buy.

Edit: Oh, and they used to only stack in 12s and you had to egt through all of the NPC sub menus to get them 1 at a time. lol

regardless of level (30+ entry requirement)

BLM is pretty bad to. It's hard to skill up elemental magic or should I say takes awhile. You also don't proc nearly as much with under leveled magic skill. Your magic also gets resisted alot while fighting Abyssea mobs.

Bst. It's about the journey, which you will have missed completely, and not the destination.

Blu was the last job I wanted to take to 90 but I was reluctant to level it because I thought you had to farm the spells as you go. But it seems that is not the case so I maybe leveling my Blu now.

It's part of what makes it the worst job to keybox. Unlike any other job that can use magic and can acquire and use all their spells at that level, BLU can only learn spells depending on their BLU skill. So, where, say a BLM, can acquire all their spells at 90 and use them to skill up on, BLU would only be able to use the spells they had the BLU skill to learn and then acquire more spells after they had skilled up. It's actually a great balance against simply keyboxing the job. And, why there are still so many shouts from Abyssea parties trying to find a BLU.

Personally, I think it would be great if all mage jobs were eligible to only learn their spells at skill level. It would end a lot of the lazy, gimp players posing as a FULLY leveled mage. Most responsible players would have no problem with it, since they skill their magic skills anyway.
