I really agree with this thread, one of my favorite parts of FFXI was hunting for NM's. The worst part was the long timers, i would like to see those lowered. 24 hour spawns are kind of too much. Maybe like 8 hours at the most and 15 mins at the least. It would be cool if you could put materia on the gear that drops from them also, maybe for a very low chance so its rare. But that would have people wanting to kill the NM's more to enhance themselves more.
