I started to post earlier but I didn't, but while I wait for my party to fill I'll see how much I can manage. :P Just as an example, there was this guy on Ridill that was really sweet/helpful and was very good at teaching people the Ifrit fight--i've seen him turn ~20+ people completely around, from dead weight that just eats raises to #2-3 DPSers in the fight. He did over 150 fights with a few duplicate weapons and barely any totems, and though he did have 10 totems he was trying to save them for the last weapon (since his luck was so awful anyway, I don't blame him). However, of those people he basically taught how to play, probably 5-10 are 7/7 now. I haven't seen him since just before 1.21, though, so no clue if he ever made it.

Too much luck, and not enough reward for dedication/experience/repetition...
