Buying a Terra's Staff or Sha'ir Manteel is both the easy way out and unethical. He has a ghorn though, so he knows what he's talking about.

That's awesome. Apparently his desire to sign his own terra's staff means he can't even buy one in the meantime, and wanting to try for his own HQ manteel means he can't use an NQ off of the auction house either.

Thank lord he's not letting his ego get in the way of properly gearing himself, that would be ludicrous.

He also goes on about how every bard should "make the time" to grind Dynamis for their Ghorn, because if you can't find two hours to spend in there how do you find the time to do anything else?

That irks me because of my own shell's limit on playable hours; For events we typically try to maximize getting as much as we can in our window. Spending that time instead in Dynamis would instead mean we're grinding away for a single person's benefit during our entire time together and woohoo, relic drops. That's certainly much more fun than growing and helping each other get things as a group.

Ugh. Idiots.

WHY CAN'T I LOOK AWAY

Edit: The post

The reason why I still use a NQ earth staff is because I'm a 97 woodworker. I REFUSE to go the easy route of buying a Terra staff. I vowed once I started woodworking that I would sign my own.

The 2nd reason is priority. Gil wise I scrimped and saved ever bit of gil to make sure I obtained
Gjallarhorn, as when I started funding glasses were still 1 mil gil each. So if your saying
Terra Staff > Gjallarhorn in priority then so be it that is your view. To me Gjallarhorn was more
important than a Terra staff, and it's not like I have ANY trouble landing elegy with max skill on mobs that are not immune to elegy.

I personally turned down a sha'ir manteel when it was still 10 mil + because I decided that I wanted to get a cashmere cloth and try my luck at a HQ. I hold true to my ethics that I set for myself in game and refuse to go the easy route.

If you don't have time for dynamis you make the time. I've always said if something is important to you, you make the time. If you can't make 2hrs to play dynamis, how can you make other events? Virtually every event in FFXI takes at least 2hrs or more to accomplish anything meaningful.

Again you leave out the part where I say "in my opinion". It's like only YOUR opinion matters, what about mine?

[Arkanna]

By his logic, he should start a garden in RL and grow all his food too. Fuck the easy way out, aka going to the supermarket.

[Lyall]

He defends not needing a Terra's staff because Ghorn doesn't need the accuracy bonus, and is sticking by this despite not always having owned a Ghorn. Criminey. It's okay to be gimp on a job as long as you eventually get a relic!

[Myrrh_Quetz]

Wait, I'm confused. This guy had the income to get 2m+ a week in Old school Dynamis days but didn't buy a Terra's Staff? At most on Quetz I think they were up to 700k but that was many years ago. If I made that much gil I'd buy myself a Terra's Staff, continue to work on WW, sign my own, sell my old staff. I don't get why a person would gimp himself like that for that length of time. Lord knows a person could go many months without finishing a craft to 100.

[Lyall]

You just don't GET IT! It's his VOW and DEVOTION to never let a Terra's Staff into his inventory if it isn't signed! JEEZ YOU PEOPLE.

It's like, totally his opinion, and you are wrong for suggesting otherwise.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

That hurts my brain.

[Lyall]

This won't help.

And if you think that I got my Gjallarhorn though some ponzi scheme and used ls members, I don't think you read my dynamis link. I still do dynamis with members to help them with their relics 2 years after I've completed mine, dynamis(even the changes, weps, armor) hold absolutely nothing that I would like to get, yet I am there giving up my time to help others and leading the runs.

I think I am more than qualified to speak upon Gjallarhorn issues since I do own one as well as bard issues since I've been Main bard for 7+ years, it's rare that I'm NOT bard.

So for five years as a bard main prior to relic completion, he didn't own a Terra's Staff.

Because he didnt do it the EASY way byt farming fire clusters in sky. That would be too easy. He was zealous in his pursuit of wild onions and 19 gil from goblins in horutoto for 7+ YEARS.

Unless your emp is ele ws^^

Then you don't have an empyrean, you have a breweapon. Let's be real.

[Khajit]

I'm confuzzled. If that guy is trying to be awesome why is he trying for a signed terras staff when he should be making a magian staff?

I knew who this was just from reading this post... Voicememo is a moron.

Goodbye thread with potential, hello Dallas!

I wish he'd troll a little less obviously at least.

Elexia is being a stubborn cunt in that thread.

God I hate it when there are players better than me making me feel useless because I simply can't get an emp!

-_-

I hate it when people with multiple millions tell me it's easy to make millions and all I need is a good idea. God I hate those people.

IQ enema.

This coming from a DRK with a sig about using a scythe and being proud of it and AH scan showing him using Fowling Earring, Iota Ring and Swift Belt with /40NIN.

The only people who maintain that Empyreans are hard or (in this case) require an Empyrean to make an Empyrean are the tools who are too gimp or scared to go try for one, or those without a linkshell that'll put in the time to help.

Or the people who are too lazy to get one like me! I even have a 2box whm mule but /lazzzzzzy
