Pepperage farm moments

I remember the old overpower animation.
I remember leveling whm to 34 for stoneskin.
I remember Flash.
I remember Unchained.
I remember Fracture and Mercy Stroke.

I remember and miss old cleric stance, and I remember when aggro was a group effort and I miss all the highs and lows that came with that.

I remember HW relic step 3 unnerfed.......it trumps every step of ShB relics in terms of a sheer grind, I basically had to almost no life for a month to get it, and before anyone who joined post nerf calling bs, let me lay down HOW awful this could be to grind.

1. You needed 20 of each item, not 10

2. The other items had to be HQ, and I also believe you needed 6-9. The only way to get those was either market board for an extreme sum or craft it or someone else craft. This was also back in the day where crafting was far more tedious then now and way less crafters to actually do it.

3. Now I want someone to double-check this, but I recall the 20 items of each you needed 1500 poetics per item, and the only other two ways to get them[outside of maps for the ore i think], was beast tribe tokens and gordias precision item turn in. Gordias needed 10 precision for ONE item, and beast tribe was 1-2 days of tokens per ONE.

4. Thats 80 items you need before the money sink in the HQ, and most days you would only nab 1-4 with all roulettes and beast tribe dailies.


The light step was nearly as bad pre nerd but you at least didn't feel like you wasted time NOT doing dailies, and you did it on your own time.

They took out my favorite tree by the front stalls in Revenant's Toll! Can't remember the last time I heard someone call that place More Donuts.


And Warriors thinking (including me at the time) they were awesome by popping their HP above 10,000 to ignore some of the Labyrinth 9,999 damage mechanics.


And the times when that 1017 error was a real problem for many!

lol Yeah, I still remember my first Castrum and Praetorium runs. I said at the beginning of Castrum something along the lines of, "First time here, anything I should know?" and the reply I got was literally "skip cutscenes and run fast".

Back when we could actually skip cutscenes, of course. lol

I remember when the Scion's headquarters were in the Waking Sands when ARR first launched in 2013... Teleport to Horizon and run my ass to the other side of the map every time... so many times...

Minfilia and her insistent need to talk to you in person...

Cross skills lol, You don’t have swift? Why you no level BLM. Needing to level other classes along with your main class to be able to advance to the job you wanted.

Cleric stance (thank God that died), Aurum Veil literally harder than some coils lol, Northern Thanalan fate farm lol was sooo lit! When Ultima weapon would wipe groups lol actually ARR was kind of really fun even though looking back it was a hot ghetto mess

Cleric stance was fun. We more or less do the same thing now minus the stance swap. At the very least it gave us an extra aspect to manage.
