Are we at the point where forking out 300k gil counts as 'rich person thing'-thing only? Or what am I missing here? That's literally about 3-4 days of doing full suite of roulettes, assuming you don't spend unwisely + it's just one-time.

The crafting is also barely any harder than your standard 7.2 MRs. At this point of the patch you could probably shout in main cities "I got the mats, can somebody craft these for me?" if you're hell bent on not willing to raise DoH/L.

On the topic of step enjoyment... now that I've let the steps sink in for a bit, I can safely say that I'm mostly ambivalent with 2nd step. It's a bit better than the 2.0 tome weapon route they took for Manderville - stress on 'a bit'. Because at the end of the day, I think my personal issues are mostly compounded by the fact that none of my jobs that I play are particularly fun in any contents that's not styled like Eureka/BSF.

If jobs are more fun, I think I could even stomach garbage RNG bs that has no bad luck proof.
