You must have been really underskilled, wow. Lol

Myself, I ride 7X/80 slots on most of my main jobs, as I try to maximize every WS, JA or spell; along with having idle and DT sets. I don't have the luxury of keeping every single crystal that falls to me and many events that myself and other already skilled/geared players do daily (Dynamis, Salvage, etc) don't provide crystals.
