guys make sure you don't have signet before going to sky, you'll fuck up our drop rates

[deivi]

People putting sky and moon access in their search comments, because you know having moon access was the shit.

also later on melee putting "{sea} O" in /seacom even tho you never xp'd there

Remember when some camps were top-secret ? Uleguerand Range, Lufaise Meadows, and the old school Den of Rancor camps...

That was the leet BLM manaburn area way back when. Mainly because the only BLMs who made it up there knew what the fuck they were doing and the morons couldn't get up without dying 93472937423840192487245 times.

There was a very nice camp close not very far from Jorm, where you could get very high chains if killing at the correct pace. Memoriiiiiiiies

Did anyone mention that you can pretty much solo everything in game, once you have an Osode ? STR+10 !

Dynamis Knuckles + Asuran Fists = Infinate TP.

Sadly patched like 10 days later.. much to the chagrin of all the penta spamming folks, which of course crushed DRG's popularity down to the point where they STILL haven't recovered.

But there was a time when freaking drk and drg was all anyone played.

Course .. we were all 2 weeks into the game and level 35ish then. Heh.. I miss being young to this game.. a whole lot.

"Only beastmasters and redmages can solo mobs stronger then DC after lvl 30"

"OMG I just solo'd a T mob!" (this was me as a 50 something rdm ._.)

(Probably already said) "WOOOOT JP invite!"

"OMFG.. our jp monk has a scorpion harness!!"

Chains 3000+ in Sea off elementals (Sadly I didn't have sea access during this time)

That dark period in history when NAs were hitting lvl 50s and started having to get AF keys

Not having FFXICiclopedia... I had so much much more fun when all the knowledge was scattered around various forums and such, trying to figure out how all the different stats worked myself.

[terraflarex]

Dynamis Knuckles + Asuran Fists = Infinate TP.

That was pure win

Almost as much as the legal flee speed mazurka for a day with harlequinn's horn.

[Alleya]

That time mifaco warp claimed mystic maker?!

What the hell are you talking about, paladin subbing ninja? You'll never hold hate without provoke!

Vrtra is impossible to kill.

You have to have an alliance of rangers to beat promies! (cue doing it with 6 people)

Get a sam so they can keep up TP to SC with the ranger! (even though we don't have a blm)

And then of course, the great ranger exedous where 98.9% of them leveled blackmage at the same exact time, making every LS into a manaburn LS for a good while.

[Sidanoir]

Dark is worthless end game is what they all said and you will never get in an HNMLS (now look at the lolDRKs owning!)
Dark was my first job /emotear

[BRP]

Getting the three letters wrong for certain jobs:

BLK
WMG
SUM

[Mifaco]

Guys, Moggy says he's going to make the mother of all alliances to beat Vrtra. I don't know about you, but I want to kill Vrtra! Come on guys, let's go with Moggy!

True story:

Me at a friends house, him and all his room mates and I crowded around a room full of TVs, all playing FFXI on PS2. I have the Bradyguide with me, looking up quests and stuff. This was a time when I just wanted to do every quest there was.

Me: OMG guys! Check this out! Reward: Scroll of Drain!
Them: Yeah... so the hell what? This uhhmm... Eco warrior quest gives like 10,000 gil, fuck that Drain shit.
Me: Oh..... well maybe you're right....

a week later I found out how to quest Drain and sell it, which sold for I think 70k at the time.

Them: Where'd you get all that money?
Me: Drain
Them: Wtf? Help me do that shit.

Epilogue: I was the first out of all of them to get a job to level 75, so even to this day they still constantly ask me for help on just about every fucking thing they need to do.

[tyraravenlocke]

Well.. SE just released a new newsletter special teaching us how to skillchain, I bet THAT's how we are supposed to kill these freaking monster trees!

Cue 8 hours later...

This is utter bullshit, this can't possibly supposed to be this hard!

Twinkling Treants were the best event FFXI has ever seen, all others are pale in comparison.
