No More Ninja……….EVER!!

A couple weeks ago in the evening I logged onto FF with the idea of leveling bst. Until you hit 35, bst levels kinda slow and I got bored. The moogle wasn’t done spinning as I changed my main job to ninja and someone was already inviting me to a party. As my ninja was 36 and I only wanted to level it to 37, I grabbed my ninja gear and headed out. The party was actually very well organized, and I hit 37 in a little less than an hour. When I first showed up at camp, I told them I was leaving as soon as I hit 37, but they must not have heard me. Once my scroll of Utsusemi: Ni was used, I warped the hell out of there. I got a few /tells expressing their confusion and anger at my sudden departure, so I reiterated that I was leaving at 37, and pulling that beetle was a bad idea since I was the only tank. My career as a ninja is over and done with, so now I will need to decide between thief and samurai whenever I get bored with beastmaster and warrior. Samurai is fun but I don’t like the dearth of DD’s that this game has, resulting in me sitting in Jeuno of Kazham with my lfg flag up for hours. I’ve only gotten thief to 15, so that would mean a return to the Dunes. While that would be a huge deterrent to most, I actually like trying to help people figure out the best way to perform their role in the party. If it means taking the entire group back to Bastok to buy some gear and maps, that’s fine with me. I like running through Konschtat Highlands, and my original character was from Bastok, so the city has nothing but good memories for me. I learned a long time ago that most people are in a rush to level as quickly as possible, so they don’t know how to earn decent gil yet. I usually take the opportunity to tell people the best spots (Zegham Hill) and mobs to farm (bees) that will give them a fair amount of gil for the levels they are. If they happen to be San d’Orian, I’ve even offered to pay so they could change allegiance to Bastok. So far, I’ve had seven people accept the offer and join a non-gay country.
