exploring sucks in ffxi

[Lithian]

When I clicked on this thread I thought you were about to complain about the lack of content for exploration, but... movement speed, really? You're interested in exploring, but too lazy to do so at the speed you're given? That's... kind of sad. As Dale said, if you're really exploring, you don't want everything whipping by you at the speed of light. You miss way too many things that way.

We didn't used to have equips like Sprinter's Shoes, which you don't even need to keep equipped to utilize the quickening from. On top of that, there's now the SCH sub with Desert Boots option, the older-school BRD sub for Raptor Mazurka... You could point out leveling BRD or DNC to much higher levels for their "chocobo" functions, but these are the more easy and slightly less obvious options (nevermind less expensive!).

I imagine this is a troll thread.

exploring (or in this case getting around) is really easy in FFXI if you work on it. Do all of your outpost warp quests, get all fluxes, explore every past zone, maw, abyssea maws, assault staging points.

I almost never have a situation in which i cannot get somewhere I want quickly.

I agree on the whistle limits though, the work you have to do (i think?) to get a boco is another cost/reward silliness from the past.

as if getting all OPs is something you can easily achieve by your own hard work

...Is this double-sarcasm or something? Because it is. Achievable eventually through your own work, that is. That phrase just... doesn't make too much sense if it isn't true, considering 'easily achieve' and 'hard work' is sort of an oxymoron when placed together...

If you're alluding to the fact that we have to wait for some areas to be obtainable OP-wise based on conquest results, then yeah, that's not exactly something you can adjust unless you do the old-school task of setting out with a party of friends to gain conquest points in any number of ways. However, the more basic OPs, or at least OPs within a good distance of each other - for those that can't use teleport spells - are very easily obtainable.

i want to use my chocobo anytime i want without stupid whistle limits

The charges on the choco whistle are more than enough to last awhile...What could you possibly need so much choco calling for?

What they need is choco use in more areas

DNC with 12% movement shoes and chocobo jig runs quite fast as well, but then you have to lvl dnc quite high along with most of the other jobs that can move fast. Thf is also good with 12% movement boots and flee every 5 minutes unless you merit it down some. Nowadays it's easy to warp around everywhere though. When I first started the game years ago I ha to walk everywhere and get to a city to use a chocobo everywhere. I also spent many times using airships to get from city to city. Nowadays Abyssea maw warps can get you to areas fast, teleports, and there's even those teleport earrings you can craft with synergy. I have almost one for each city/town myself.
