Ah, I will take note of that. I have to say I never researched most of the classes past the first few added.
Is scholar quest do-able without having progressed in any nation quests or story stuff?

WHM is the best job, though.

Aw that's not right. y u no like tall girls?
I AM PRETTY! PRETTY DAMN IT!

Oh and pan...
I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THAT SCORPION!
IIRC you just need to be able to access the past version of the Eldieme Necropolis where the quest is flagged. There's a maw close to the Jeuno exit to Rolanberry, which will start you on the WotG missions and send you to a random past version of one of the areas outside Jeuno - from there it's a similar path to what it would be in the present.
It's basically a fetch quest, but must be ended as a mage job with a "state" 2-hour ability - chainspell, manafont or azure lore.
Iirc, the fetch part is sort of helped by a different quest in past Crawler's Nest.

It's not that hard to level, but it's a pain to gear properly.
I've had a few people tell me they're not that great until they get Sneak Attack/Triple Attack, and someone said something about having to sub-job to dual wield or something. Basically I have no idea what they're talking about.
So far my biggest complaint is the low health. I'm thinking about switching to a White Mage or something to give healing a try.
Honestly, every job sounds kinda fun so I dunno what I'll end up doing.

Raise the level cap to 99.
I don't think AV was ever defeated before the level cap outside a few exploit methods that were quickly patched.
Have Sneak/Invis? Then yes.
I've made that run at level 20 without sneak/invis so many times. Just be vigilant!
Some of us are aggro magnets. >.>
There was also something about using the same 2-hour abilities it did within seconds of it using them, so it wouldn't be able to repeat them, which made it effectively immortal with stuff like Benediction, and able to rain death with Manafont.
Yes, that's me. I tried Aeana's way by just running through and died.
I forgot I was going to Selbina and by the time I realized I was most of the way through the Jugner forest.. but I also homepointed at the end of the Jugner forest and I just de-leveled. Everything is going terrible.
Edit: Goblin Leecher dropped a scroll of sneak, guess I can try to grind them for an Invisible too and be okay..
Edit 2: Nope, gonna run to Selbina.

I eventually made it to Jeuno. Doing Chocobo quest. Tried to do some Jeuno reputation quests in the meantime, but I just spent all my money buying Rolanberries and grass for chocobo feeding. I am going to have to investigate a better way to make doh.
If you're not using them right now, selling crystals is a good way to make some cash. They power the crafting system, and the new teleports.
Still, better save some for the nation guards to unlock nation missions.
Yeah, managed to get some good gil like that when I was solo-ing my RDM, though when I moved to Gusgen Mines, I managed to only get like 3 stacks of Earth Crystals during my whole 17-35 leveling grind, which sold for about 2k each at the time.
Though after I get my scholar and start spending some time solo-ing him, I should be able to get some good amount of other crystals again. Right now I don't think I really need gil for anything immediately. Worst case if I can't afford SCH spells, I'll just switch to my RDM and find some decent drop rate item that sells often on the AH to farm.

Mittaru asked today about my chat filters, and I took some screens of them a while ago for Tiv, so here they are. Hopefully this works for folks who are annoyed by some of the chat spam, but still want to see important stuff.

Special actions are TP moves etc. I have the ones from my party and alliance turned set to show, but the filter turned on for people outside my party, because no1curr.
Todays progress:
White mage is now level 50, still levelling samurai's great katana to 225 so i can beat maat. May get dark knight and scholar soon (apparently need level 30 and above mage )
I notice this when I'm grinding in gusgen mines, crawlers, and obelix.
When I play early ~9am PST, the Japanese players seem to be far more efficient in grinding when compared to Americans

Getting red mage to 25 should be enough for any sneak/invis travel needs in the past plus the 2-hour ability to unlock SCH.
For DRK it helps to use warrior - IIRC you need to kill 100 critters with the great sword Zeid gives you, which I think only WAR and DRK could use - I don't know if rune fencer is now an option too, since it's the new job that finally mains that weapon type.

You shut your whore mouth!
I'm sitting here at level 11 thinking "I could probably deal more damage and take more damage as a Warrior, and probably every other job available does more damage."
I heard Treasure Hunter is the only good thing about the class! So I gotta know: why are you a thief?

It's primarily a support class, you can play it as a light DD, you can play it as a TH whore, you can use it to do some minor enmity management. It's a fun class to play in a party. It's also good for farming, and sub dnc, very playable solo. At high levels, you can also use it to evasion tank some less difficult stuff.

TH is nice for making cash. You can eventually get a weapon skill through merit points that does 3k plus dmg with the right gear.
Sounds like I was expecting the wrong things from the class then. I'll get back to it later but I think Im gonna switch out for now.
On that note, would it be better to stick with the Thief (since Im already at 11) until I can get sub jobs instead of switching out now?
Having thief levelled is always handy, especially for quests and missions that involve drops, and Flee is a very handy skill to move around quickly.
It may never be your main job, but it's one worth having decently levelled.
Might as well persist with it through Gusgen until 49, then you'll always have that as a subjob no matter how much you level other jobs.
Is it actually placed in the nation mog house's layout? Storing the stuff there isn't enough.
might also be one one those cases where it only goes into effect after the conquest tally, at sunday's japanese midnight.... it's been a while...
If you placed it today, you won't get the scene till next Sunday morning.
