What do BSTs do other than leveling?

[jaby]

i recently got asked this question, and I thought it would be best to get everyone's input on this.

For me, I usually do quests to keep my sanity. I recently activated the PLD quest, and right now, I'm doing a map quest for a CoP region (something involving spawning 8 NM mandra things, which are really weak).

And i've been invited to do break 55 quest (nicely, when i was lvl.54) and Bastok mission 6-1.

But this is usually with random people doing /shout in Jueno. I wanna do Promyvion, but my LS is lazy =P.

Edit - lol, as i found out, I cannot solo those 8 NM mandra things. Neverthelss, nothing seems to get me down. I just smile and say that I'll get it next time.

And everytime i join a skill up PT, I get a "hey cool, a BST". This has helped me max out my club skills. Slowly working on leveling dagger and sword as well.

Hunt HNMs...:spin:

Ok, other than that, I do a lot of BCNMS and usually farm stuff other jobs won't think of doing solo--like bombs in Ifrit for my alchemy skill up. Another chore I'm getting pretty good at is farming hakutaku eyes all over again..even the tough ones in Rancor den, solo. Then I'd either synth them into a cluster and bazaar it or bazaar each individual eye. :p

When the game was recently patched, I also spent a lot of time farming some of gobbiebag VI items. I sold any extra drops on AH for a ridiculous price..

What do bsts do other than leveling? For a high lv bst, I think that's really up to the player to decide. As a Bst, Vanadiel is my playground and I'll go and do whatever I want, whenever I want, and however I want...as long as there are pets to charm and pet jugs to back me up.

You can solo the mandy things. Just use Panzer.

I as well farmed Hakutaku eyes for a VERY long time, 2-3months. Sold the eyes individually, got over 30 sets of Haku clusters done for clients, made nearly 8 or 9 million. I'm done hunting them now, its a very agonizing process, very annoying, takes up a lot of time I rather spend leveling some other job or doing something else >.<

The Greatclaw @ Seaserpent's been my best friend while fishing for a loooooooong time now. Now at fishing 86, it's sad to think that i won't be able to go there for skillup purposes in about 4 skillpoints. Me and G've gone through a lot of fights; those Stygian Pugils (lv65~69) sure put up a fight.

so yeah, BST and SMNs are probably two of the best jobs for a fisher; pets are manual command but are tougher than summons, and carbuncle doesn't need to be told to attack making for very easy fishin.
