BLM is currently a dead job on FFXI, it has no use on most things.

Summoners can do insane amounts of damage with their 1 hour and then easily and quickly reset their 1 hour ability in a few minutes and repeat it forever, corsairs elemental WS often beat a blm in terms of being able to pump out dmg, Red mage can sleep far better than blm and offer haste2/refresh3, melee jobs can do more damage than a blm could ever hope to do with their melee + ws spam.

Blm need to be more powerful, a magic burst spell should do more damage and for less hate, increasing the dmg done by burn / choke etc will also help.

A skillchain and MB from a blm should always beat pure WS spam, I would suggest giving blm a new ability that when used before a spell gives a double / triple / quad boost to magic burst damage. Blm was always supposed to be a cannon of raw big numbers instead of the stream of smaller dmg from melee, that spike of dmg needs to be big enough to warrant the pt slot instead of something else.

Add an npc that sells an item like "Miratete's Memoirs", except intsead of XP it gives job points.

For 30 job points you can buy an item that when used gives 10 job points on any other job.

This allows players to use their best or demanded job to get job points for the job they don't want to grind job points on, the 3 to 1 ration is due to increased CP gain on your "maste" job or whatever.

Also, while we are at it. Why not change the reward of the escort for hire quests into giving 5 job points. This quest can only be done once a week and this would make it relevent again for more casual players.

Since charm is all but dead, save for places like Odyssey if people still play that....
How about removing the jug pet cap and job level requirement for every jug? Thus, any jug can be summoned at level 1.
Believe I heard you were adding abilities to existing pets or something like that from FFXI AH? It really makes sense to remove the cap then. The Lynx with Frenzied Rage and Pounce would become a top tier pet dd.

the mog garden needs a total overhaul. you don't get enough items even with 7 mog gardens rank 7 to make a difference in any particular craft. also you cant make enough personal money from it, so its a lot of work every day for nothing. I know u can work your butt off to get coalition serums and make darksteel ores maybe 1 rhodium ore and bismuth or beryllium 1 ore if lucky of any of these , but one ore doesn't do squat when u need 12 to make something. the darksteel on our server bahamut is @ 50k for 12, while the ingots are at 88k but that's not counting the loads of iron ore u need and the expensive fire crystals to make it, so the profit margin is crap. rmt has destroyed our server making stuff so that only they can profit over and over, and im sick of it. we need to have some fun in a "game" too. ty whoever is listening.

The ore price is set by the quest that gives you 8k per 2 ore. The ingot price is probably set by the market and it happens that the market price of ingots can't beat the ore price from an artificial quest.

Talking of mog gardens, an option to only receive HQ items would be good. It's so annoying throwing 30-40 items away every time when I'm just trying to level up my mog garden.

Not sure if this has been suggested (I did a search and this thread came up but I have no clue where in the 211 pages the result was found), but it would be nice if the logout countdown was reduced or even removed while in non-combat zones.

If my PAID content ID runs out, I lose access to all free access time on all my characters. This is such a kick in the face when everyone else gets free time to play.

I have one paid character, and 10 alts on the account. If my paid character time runs out and I have to re-activate then I lose access to all my free time characters that people who have paid nothing can play just fine. Can you fix this? I had to resub my main today (since time ran out last night) and now I lose access to all my alts.

Last night I had access to all 11 characters, now only the one I paid to resub lol

Don't let your sub lapse then? Your situation is the edgiest of edge cases lol

[Pixela]

I used to pay with a credit card, for some unknown reason they decided to not allow me to do that anymore. Now I have to pay with paypal, I normally do this when I need to resub because it's the easiest way to do it.

If I had not subbed 4 weeks ago in anticipation of these free access I would now have full access to all 11 characters for free for 3 weeks, since I did pay and let my sub lapse by a few hours I lose access to all the other 10 characters. When they deactivate the account due to non-payment they deactivate everything, even during free access.

It's a silly system, that punishes people who are paying if they let their sub lapse for even minutes if it's during free access. I don't mind losing access to the character I'm paying for but making me lose access to the others is over the top.
