Clearing out the Mog House

Yeah, yeah, haven't updated forever. Again, I don't know why anyone would care about what I'm doing in FFXI. Instead I'll use this thing to put my thoughts in text form. Maybe by doing this I'll come up with things I wouldn't have otherwise.

I'm thinking about shelving SAM. I never use it for anything. The only reason I leveled it was to have an excuse to level with Blue members. The SAM gear set does not complement my WHM set at all. I'm running out of space, what with all the WHM gear I've been piling up on lately and the chocobo raising items. I don't have the Mog Satchel so space is even more limited than most other people. For all these reasons I want to hang SAM on the shelf and try focusing on WHM exclusively. I know that by doing this my versatility as an "end game" player becomes even more limited, but me and "end game" have never has the best of relationships anyway. If event X doesn't need me as a WHM, then I'll just pass on the event.

In fact there are many items that I'll never use that are rotting in storage. I'm reluctant to get rid of them because they are rare/ex quest rewards though. They're almost like keepsakes in a way; they remind me of the journey taken to complete the quest.

PUP has hit the wall. Soloing MMM is not an option anymore, thanks to a recent update that let some less-than-friendly mobs into the maze. My last three attempts at soloing MMM have been stonewalled by some huge un-soloable monster on the very first floor. I guess it's back to begging Blue members to join me.

My whole initial interest in PUP stemmed from an interest in the "pet" jobs. However, now that I think about it, the SMN job would mesh better with my WHM gear and merits while still quenching the thirst I have for pet jobs. I may abandon PUP and go for SMN if PUP gets any more frustrating.
