    I'll let you in on a little secret to getting caskets, experience points, and buffs exceedingly fast:

    Team up with other soloers, notifying them that you won't touch their mob/chests and vice versa.

    This will allow you and the other soloer/s to do pages faster, getting buffs faster, finding chests faster, all while killing at the exact same speed as if you were soloing. If other soloers don't want to team up, keep asking others. Eventually, they'll want to join so they too can get max casket finding ability quickly.

    If there's no one doing pages within the zone to team up with, bring along some friends from your ls. It's a nice little diversion from idling in Port Jueno, and if your group is the first to find something extraordinary (like that skillup ring), you can monopolize the zone before it becomes Zeruhn Aery.

    I actually did that for about 4 hours. - 2x blm and a bard in Zehrun and we 2 shotted everything. The speed of the kill had nothing to do with that - at the end of it i still had casket hunting level 2 which had almost no effect on caskets. The Bard and BLM both had level 5 and had allegedly been there for 3 days hunting the skillup ring. Our casket output was around 1 every half hour, sometimes one would pop up more frequently with the usual brown casket garbage (sheepskin, etc).

    There dosn't seem to be much point in bestowing random buffs on jobs that dont need them and since the book functions as a GoV hub, I don't see why prowess can't work to bestow buffs you actually want on yourself instead of praying that you get the right one for your job/treasure hunting and if you leave it resets.

    There are just too many options to make prowesses useful, especially since the cap is apparently level 9 prowess. I just think it would make GoV way more viable if you could select what you wanted at the end of page as a reward.
