Experience/Merit/Job Points

[bazookatooth]

I get 10 job points per hour minimum using mid-range gear.

Hmmm... not sure where you're camping at, but during non campaign periods in escha that equates to a kill about every 10 seconds without breaks. Maybe a little less elsewhere, but then the pops are much slower (I doubt they repop fast enough / close enough together anywhere for that). So please do share your gear sets, camps etc. I'd love to try them out on my well geared Monk and BLM and see how it works out.

but I really don't see why having a pet MAB set for gaining CP is going to help? I think the guy was thinking of the wrong pet job there.

If you're killing magic weak mobs using fireball on warlike patrick, you want all the magic acc / att you can get. It really makes a huge difference. You can do just fine doing physical aoe with the Eft jugs from upper jeuno though. My guess is that some career beasts are pissed about all the bandwagon beasts and don't want to play with them.
