possibly not the most exciting topic, i hope even if u found this one to be a bit heavy on the info and not very light on the lighthearted nature that u come to love from EE; that you check out episode 11 when it comes out it is a bit more round table discussion and a little bit less like info in your face, lol

OMG! I totally got my first LBR shout-out! Of course, I can tell this was recorded months ago, because you said I had just gotten WAR to 40 and started leveling SAM...I have SAM at 70 now, so yeah...but still totally awesome that I got a shout-out! Now I wonder when I will be able to participate in an episode? I guess I should probably get my first 75 job so I will have at least SOME credibility, lol...

This episode totally reminded me of the time I was leveling in West Ronfaure (where I usually start out with low jobs). I don't remember what I was leveling, but it was probably when I was getting MNK leveled as a sub for my WAR (which I only planned on taking to 37). I was doing as I normally do, just running around killing everything in sight, and I had just finished killing 2 or 3 beetles. I then moved on to the next one, and about the time I realized that this particular beetle seemed quite a bit larger than the other beetles I had been fighting, I had already engaged it. As the name of the mob turned red, it became clear to me that I had made a big mistake. Yes, for those of you who have heard the show already (or have fought this particular nm), it was Fungus Beetle. You all know how this ended...I died. However, I decided I wanted revenge, so I warped to my home point in lovely Sand'oria and switched to WAR (which was probably somewhere between 15-18 at the time I think). When I got back out to West Ronfaure, Fungus Beetle was still sitting there all proud of himself, laughing about how he'd kicked my butt on MNK. Well, let's just say he met his maker that day, and to my surprise, I received a highly useful shield (the Clipeus) that I continued using all the way til I stopped leveling WAR - and yes, it's still in my Mog House in case I ever decide to go back on that job.

Just thought I'd share my little story. I have also experienced the frustration of trying to camp Bigmouth Billy, Jaggedy-Eared Jack, and a few of the other low level nms mentioned in this episode, but since I am just now finally getting close to obtaining my first 75 job, most people would understand that I felt my time was better spent leveling than spending hours trying to get rare drops from nms that don't like to spawn very often. I did get the nice great katana (the Katayana) from Carnero though, it was totally worth the relatively short amount of time I spent camping it, and I recommend any aspiring SAM to do the same.

Key pieces of gear man. Key pieces. Key.

Apparently I said that a lot in this episode.

Yeah...it must have gotten through to my subconscious mind or something, because I wasted a bunch of time not realizing what I was doing...see, I kept trying to open coffers with my Clipeus...

Another exquisite episode.
