I left FFXI in 2010 and came back last month. Before I left, my RNG was top-notch, missing only relic. I had decided to do the OAT gun and bow, and left them both at level 80: Spitfire (http://images.wikia.com/ffxi/images/2/2f/Spitfire1762.png) and Condor (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Condor), respectively.
My question is, does any sane RNG use the final versions of these today? Are they worth a damn in comparison to other quickly attainable options, or just gil-spewing wastes of time? I'm working on Annihilator but it'll be a few months before that's ready, so I'd like something to tide me over. I might also do Gandiva, just because soloing Fistule has gotten me a ton of his drops already.
At the very least, I can use them for skillups...
