What's your best FFXI nostalgia moment?

One of the main reasons I've found people enjoy worms is that they will come in with highly under-leveled skill in a weapon, and are able to skill up quickly and easily using the right atma setup. And if things get too dicey, you can run away from the worm.

This is the main reason why I always liked to party with JP people, back then. Many times I ended up in exp camps I would never have thought of...Middle Defkut, Sauromugue, Pashow, Jugner, Beadeaux, Altepa, Uggalepih,Beaucedine, Xarcabard, ...quiet people, good exp, absolutely no competition, loved it



I really don't get it.

With Abyssea, S-E gave the players a squishy version of every single kind of mob in the game. After years of complaining about chaining crabs and gobs for 5k/h, you'd think people would be more than happy to target a wide variety of mobs...

And yet almost nobody believes it's even remotely possible to exp on anything but worms (or maybe frogs if the worms camp is taken) :/

I think the biggest reason why people do worms only in aby is the shortage of healers and that your healer can and will go afk most likely. I mean you cant even get people to cast haste constantly how do you think would they be competent enough to remove status removals while watching TV? Thats why people go to worms, nearly no bad stats and you can run away from them and cure yourself up with DNC or temp items or whatever if your healer is MIA

People still do exp?

[Demosthenes]

Yes, and make it comparable to Abyssea. By comparable I mean, exp rate for easymode terrible alliance vs legit work exp pages.

My favorite memories involve doing CoP and figuring out the NM spawn conditions for the original Salvage. It took almost a year for people to discover how to spawn the remaning Qiqirn and Poroggos.
