    Seriously? You're going to call me out for Sneak being "easymode"? Let me get to my point, then...

    Remember when the dungeons were revamped for Grounds of Valor? Most of the mobs that dropped Invisible were removed. All the good mid-20s farming spots simply don't exist anymore. It was a huge oversight on the part of the devs and I'm glad they fixed it.

    *nods* I was just comparing what is reasonable vs. what wasn't. Sneak was newbie area fodder, Invisible was a tougher spell to grab and with the GoV changes, more so- but they didn't change areas like Castle Oztroja or Beaudeaux where the mobs were still there and the spells still available. It's still possible to this day to go there and whack a mob for your spell.

    Stuff that's dropping off lower level BCNMs only, however....ouch ouch ouch. That's a matter of lower level content that people simply aren't doing much anymore, since the game's gotten increasingly topheavy. Those sorts of spells need to be moved to areas where they're farmable outside BCNMs, whether via adding them to NM drops someplace or a vendor. When it takes finding a trio of people with the seals and the inclination to bother, that's not nearly as common anymore. I agree with you, making spells more available in light of the GoV changes was the right thing to do.

    Now, if they'd be so kind as to fix the chest spawns and low-level NM's they left stuck in the middle of L80+ content...was that Moth Axe really so uber you had to surround the chest with IT++ mobs that would make a party seven times your level take it seriously? ^ ^

    Anything that involves non-endgame is easymode to everyone here, and that is too most of the time, just a note for later, its why asking for almost any improvement to Abyssea or low levels is met with snarky comments about the game being to easy already.
