Dont consider myself a casual player. cause I play about 4hrs after work everyday when I can and all day Saturdays. Got cnj and brd level50 and a 41 blm. Wish i would have focused more on gear farming soon as my whm got 50 but I immediately switch to arc and started the grind. Saved many of the 48-50 quest for brd cause they give 13k or more exp, and would have been wasted on whm since you dont get exp on level 50 classes. Level 30 bnt 33 ltw 29 fisher level 15-20 on other DOM DOW classes. The leveling is super fast Took four months to get one class to 75 in FFXI. My only real regret about my leveling progress is that I didnt farm a full set of dark light and a relic soon as I hit 50. That end game content is enjoyable to me even after the 100th time doing it. Now the problem is that the so called casuals are showing up at end game gimp as shit and all the so called rushers are in full DL with relics. So now Im stuck dealing with the new 50s still wearing level 40 gear from dragon head trying to run 50 content. Im either over geared and suffering with weaker people or under geared and getting shunned by stronger people. Damn should have started brd relic 2 weeks ago. whm is fine with garuda weapon for now and I can almost get my first piece of af2. That damn DL bow i got in wonders palace is too weak and ifrit garuda hate my bard. Lucky me I have 5 linkshells and a good FC to hang with. So Ill get that stuff eventually but I want it now lol.
