Level 35 Paladin quest is literally impossible

[Jijifli]

So i may be a bit of a masochist. I recently started working on SMN in my down time. For reasons i couldnt rightly explain, i decided that i wouldnt summon any carbuncles until i had a summoner soul stone. So i can report that you can actually get through the entire arcanist line using ruin, DoTs, energy drain, and fester. I had a combination of brand new gear and crafted. And while i have some understanding of caster play(being a BLM main), i was figuring the class out as i went. So yeah, is perfectly doable.

I wasn't saying that it wasn't. In fact, the potency for emerald carbuncle is so horribly bad (20 potency auto attacks) that isn't barely a loss to not have a pet at all before 30's ifrit egi.

I was only saying how, in that scenario of a quest, the emerald carbuncle ends up hurting you, due to changes to how pets work. It's painfully easy if you don't use emerald carbuncle (which funny enough, the game gives you topaz right before to promote using that anyways for it)

I may not have typed my message as clearly as i wanted to. I could tell you werent saying it was impossible. You explained a way that someone may commit unintentionally self-sabotage. I was just further explaining through my own example of being crazy that its even easier then people may think, and you dont need a pet at all. I guess i could have replied to the other guy instead, but i felt like i was adding on to your point more then i was countering the fake-example of the 15 acn quest being impossible. So... it is what it is. We both understand that this quest(and every other class and job quest) is completable.
