Thread: Your Biggest Regret in 1.0

My biggest regret was melding too much. That and not finishing cooking to 50. In regards to materia melding: It kinda sucked for me when they said that the chance for melding materia was going to be increased.

I never really tried to get 4 or 5 melds, but I did a SHIT TON of double and triple melding. I even mathematically analyzed the materia system in this thread Math, Materia, and How to Succeed with Melding

I played from May 2011 until the end pretty consistantly. I got all crafts except lvl 46ish cooking to 50. I had mining to 50, botany almost 50, and I stopped fishing after they changed all the recipes, at lvl 30 something. I enjoyed battling, but I hated making groups, so I mostly did solo stuff, and went for achievements. I ended up being the crafter of my LS.

My thought process at the end of 2.0 was this:
1: Everyone and their mom was saving up gil for 2.0
2: Instead of saving up gil, save stuff to sell to all the rich people as soon as 2.0 starts. If I'm lucky I'll bank.

So I have a couple stacks of deaspected crystals, a bunch of random double IV melds to sell, and I have 9999 of every shard. 3 mules full of almost every type of crafting mats, materia.
I had BLM set up with all HQ triple melds and I was working on doing the same for the rest of my jobs. My two best pieces were an HQ Felt Calvalier's hat with over 50 INT triple melded. I can't remember the name of the other, but it was the tunic that required a rare Garlian drop, with triple Pie on it. (2x iii, 1x IV)((actually made 2 of these, 1 to keep, 1 to sell))

I invested most of my gil into making double and triple melded gear to sell in 2.0. I really wish I would have just saved everything I blew up melding. I had to have destroyed at least 300 or 400 mil worth of materia. I tried to make money selling double melds but they sold very very slowly.

But anyways I was rambling....

My biggest regrets in 1.0 were:

Not getting cooking to 50.
Not getting everything I wanted from Hamlets.
Not saving up at least 10Mil. (for 1M in 2.0)
Not finishing the main questline. (I beat Raven easy mode though)
But mostly it was melding too much stuff. I should have saved more IV materia and only have gone for double melds for my gear.

Not leveling all my crafts to 50. _-_

Didn't stalk enough. ;_;

My stupid face

I regret my first 50sh job, that was a WHM. I leveld it only, becouse my LS had no WHM. My fav job was actually LNC, but i stuck on WHM, no matter how hard i tried to play as LNC...i endet as a WHM forever...wait...sometimes i was allowed to come as BRD... yay

I also regret not getting any primal or skirmish weapons, or any dark light, or any special gear at all o.o

Ah, I'd say not getting the White Ravens. That's about it.

Anything I didn't get to 50 yet (DoL and DoH, actually), will be done eventually in 2.0, so yeah...

Oh gawd I feel you there, I really do!

My absolute favorite foam-at-the-mouth job was BRD, but I never got to play it ; ;. My linkshell were like "But you're a good whm and we need you on that!" Even though I enjoyed BRD more.... It got so bad that I couldn't really get nice gear for my brd because they would say "But you're never on brd, you're always on WHM..." because I /really/ had a choice in the matter.. ~_~ lol

I think in 2.0 I will hang up my WHM AF and leave it behind. I will only play BRD or ACN and if people try to get me to heal I'll be like "Uh... is that a fire I smell? /runaway"
