As a fairly new player, I really enjoy threads like these.

It is good reading, while waiting for "the howling eye" (now time elapsed 25 minutes, average 25 minutes, where the average keeps raising as my wait time does...)

As I expected, I'll likely be buying gear from the Market Board for much of the game. That is, until I level up the trades myself; It seems required in this game? Most "Player Cards", or whatever those things are people post as sigs, show level 70 in everything? So far I'm just 54 lancer/54 fisher, I guess I'll go miner/armor jobs next?

Good stuff!
