What if you could take it all back...

To be fair, if he could he probably would've quit XI a long time ago.

Points for hitting the nail on the head here, Ray.

If I could ignore the nostalgia of this game and commit fully to the way it's played now, I'd be gone already.

Had Abyssea been a stand-alone game... I would have been over it in less than 6 months. The fact that I can retreat to the whimsical adventures of yester-yore is all that holds me in place. If I couldn't backtrack to old content and indulge myself in what I really enjoy about the game, I'd be playing TOR right now.

As for the nostalgia, you simply just have to recognize it as such, and move on . . .

The hardest trial of them all.

Oh I know... I guess I'm still attached to the desire to get the pole from back in the 75 days before ToM was an option.

The ToM Staff would be great too, but the work associate with it doesn't make me excited to start one.

The 2-4 trials are arguably the easiest of the multi-attack options, if somewhat monotonous. No more NMs after the first three (in particular, no VNMs), no items to collect, nothing but simply killing everything you come across.

I'm sure you'll end up getting a lot of MP back with that damage-dependent Weapon Skill!

In all seriousness, why not just get a Magian 2-4 Staff? It would serve you better than the Mercurial Pole for everything that you want the Mercurial Pole for.

It's all about skill-ups, my friend. Any 2-handed weapon is a pain in the arse to skill up without some kind of multi-attack augment.

Also: TP Return and being able to throw off Spirit Taker's more frequently when meleeing on SMN.

(Seriously Yyg, tell him about the bunnies...)

Wait. DMG:4? Do you intend to Avesta things with Ifrit's Favor or something?

Re: What if you could take it all back...

i actually missed out on my pet shells jormy run...

We went one day (75 days) with my shell. Ton of Bsts and couple Smns. We were there for over an hour and had him locked at 80% ish. Coulda held plenty longer but we decided it was a waste of jugs and pet food.

Next day my shell went with a couple extra Smns. I logged in to them with Jormy at like 14%...woulda been cool to experience the win

I never hunted HNM's, which staff did it drop?

[Yygdrasil]

Re: What if you could take it all back...

Still. That staff would make me happy.

Re: What if you could take it all back...

jormy has been like that for about 8 years...
