I have two different TP modes depending on what I want the tradeoff between drop rate and killspeed to be. If I don't want to use TK, I keep it in my sack. I'm capable of duoing Salvage with or without it, so the question is whether or not it increases my gil/hr. It probably doesn't, but if higher levels of TH don't increase my damage then why am I on Thief? I can go DNC/THF with TH2 and clear SSR in an hour.

So now that's what I do. I'd say it loses me about 5 Alexandrite singles per run. I haven't gotten any Linens since I started doing it, but that could just be bad luck.
