I got vote kicked for the first time today (or, how do I keep nin from taking aggro?)

Yup, I know it's terrible. The items on the MB will give me +3 to +5 above my current item on a few stats for a few thousands of gil a piece, with prices increasing dramatically after that, +6 for 30,000 gil, +12 for 300,000etc. I don't know if I should first try to buy what I can, or progress some more and keep running dungeons.

My main story is actually at level 38, and I'm intentionally staying on the MSQ to avoid unlocking harder instances until I catch up. I was leveling very slowly until a week or so ago, when I just recently discovered the magical roulettes, which give 150-200k EXP daily. When you add in Challenge Log with 120k for both dungeon challenges, 140k for FATEs, even 50k for commendations... I basically gained 10 levels without a single quest. You can gain half a level a day or more... I might even be level 50 by Saturday.

update: amber ring is on MB for 5,500 gil, Vitality +6, Parry +10. might just get two of those, since I've been hearing that VIT (Max HP) is what tanks need to focus on the most.
