Since gil devalued to a tenth of its previous value, that sounds right --- I'm guessing Archers can just retrieve their arrows in the field too.

That's what I feared. Oh well, I was just curious if I missed Luciane's lecture. Or she was just secretly rich and gave fledgling Archers millions of gil to spend on arrows.

I like the idea of Archers getting a free courier moogle though.

So there are no Bards that can really sing well, eh?
