Have you ever wondered if anyone ever buys Reraise III for 500k from that Mithran NPC in Ru'lude Gardens (Or any other outrageously over-priced NPC item)?

Amusingly, Raise III used to cost millions and millions of gil, and was only available on the AH, because the only source was a rare drop from Kirin, which few people could kill back then.

The 500k NPC was an attempt by SE to make the spell "affordable for everyone."

My, how the FFXI economy has changed...

You know now that you mention it, I always wondered what that blank target was for at the broken pillar for the byakko steps. Is that for some relic weapon cutscene i'm unaware of?


I'm pretty positive that's the last CS for unlocking Mandau and getting currency back.

There's also an unmarked spot on the tower/sculpture thing right in the middle of Ru'Lude Gardens. I believe that's for Guttler, but they couldn't pick a better spot for it?

Brings up another question though.
Have you ever wondered why Ru'Lude Gardens and Ru'Aun Gardens have such similar names?

Why is there an adorable girl mandragora doll on the Doll Festival thing, and why do I want her in my house so bad, and why does the moogle insist on NOT giving me her?

Why my character can go three weeks without food, then live off of a rice cake.

Seriously...when was the last time I had him drink anything...?

Have you ever wondered why SMN has the second highest INT, MND, and CHR stats in the game and can't get any use out of any of them?

I didn't, but I figure it has something to do with the fact that Jeuno is being run by a couple of Zilart?

During the San d'Orian missions, the king says something about a magic barrier to hold back the orcs. Idk maybe it works for weather too? <.<;

Why is it when you play a job with no mp and a worm does MP Absorbtion, it still casts spells on you?

Are we supposed to be answering these questions too? 'cause worms already have a massive MP pool... makes me wonder why the bother with MP Absorbtion when they clearly don't need it though.

Did you ever wonder why rabbits have 2 feet, but only the right foot leaves a footprint?

Or how about why a beetles right front foot faces forward and the left front foot faces backward?

urk, tell me about it. I love blu for the versatility, but our nukes just aren't worth the mp unless you're fighting something that's almost completely immune to physical damage.

A nice little trick though for conal damage (breath spells and maybe claw cyclone) is to face away from the mob you're using it on. You can be absolutely surrounded by mobs, but if you face away, the animation will show your heat breath spraying all over a dozen mobs, and the mob you're targeting can also be surrounded by ten more, but it will only hit that one mob... Just make sure the mob doesn't move in front of you as you do this, or you WILL hit all the mobs in front of you ^^

I was wondering this last night while helping my friend break latent in Kuftal--You know the Amemet room where there's about 3-4 places where sand is just continuously pouring in nonstop? Why doesn't that room just fill up already??

Idk if related or not, but why is it when you shout to sell an item, everyone always thinks there is a -20% price tag involved vs. AH?

Maybe i just had a rough day, i hate morons :/
