You said you ran Ravana Ex 610 times for the bird?

Also for the Midan gear: we are lucky with this patch because the i220 crafted stuff makes a wonderful alternative in most cases, especially given that it can be overmeld whereas the Midan stuff only has 2 slots.

If it takes me more than 2 evenings of Midas farm to get my loot I just buy the crafted gear instead. It takes me more or less two days to make the right amount of gils in the meantime with my crappy GSM so it s ok for me (friends can craft everything within a range of 500k-1M which is not too horrible).

I never had to run any Midas turn for more than 7 times so far and this strategy enabled me to get 2 i220 jobs in 4 weeks (got 10 Midas drops and bought 10 crafted items. The rest is i230.)

And the Brute Justice card dropped on our 10th kills.
