Would it be advised to start over at this point?

Sure, some jobs require less skill to fulfill their minimal duties than others, but you don't want to give just the minimum, do you?

Take Brian for instance, he has over 60 pieces of flair.

Like Icemage said, unless you just absolutely hate the model of your character, there's really no reason to go changing.

I wouldn't ever start over a character that has that much time invested in it for something as simple as a spell scroll. Although, its for situations just like this that I never sells quested scrolls, period. I don't care if its a job that I don't think I'll ever want to level that high, I never sell them because you never really know what you'll want to do a few months down the line, and its not worth the hassle.

Same. I still have all my quested ninjutsu scrolls in storage that I did years ago. Same for things like the Mumeito weapon that you start with for Samurai, etc. Not because I'm planning to level those jobs any time soon, but I figured I'd want them "some day".

Money isn't easy to come by in FFXI, but it's easier than re-acquiring quest items that can only be acquired once.

yeah like I said, it was a moment of stupidty like, 4 years ago. I havent done it since!

On a side note I definitely wouldn't want to trade my taru for anything, that's for dang sure.

Monk requires 0 skill. Thief requires a lot of skill. Dragoon not sure, Warrior not sure.
I hear of Monks going afk after setting their character to attack, then hitting the occasional ws button.

I'm playing mnk now during my off time and umm, I do have to concur. 0 skill. Actually, I do other stuff while playing mnk. Throw on a dvd on the laptop, make some food. I dont go afk for more than 30-45s at a time but really, if I dont have anyone to talk to in game, I will fall asleep.

This is besides the point and the op.

Well, because of Theyaden's idea on getting Utsusemi I think I'll give theif a try. I've always been curious about the job and liked what I saw once I got sneak attack.

Thanks a bunch guys!

Glad I could be of assistance.

It's funny that I actually started thief aiming for 45 so I could affort to have highler level spells and upgraded gear only to discover I actually enjoy the job so I hope you also find it rewarding.

600K gil is a tiny sum compared to the amount of energy it takes to re-do enough Norg quests to get the scroll again.

True enough on leveling to get your levels for the hunt is more work than getting just 600k once you get good at hunting although if it got into the millions it would be worth doing with a mule I think. Getting norge fame level 5 wasn't so bad though it took me 3 days of hunting Yagado in Gideus near Windy 3-4 hours a day, but I was using a thief 46 (Treasure hunter 2) and subbed blackmage to warp back. (Had all the gobie bags completed) so I might have been a little quicker than the average run for it. Killing individual Yadago and when Cyclone blade was up killing clumps of 5-6. Trains past that the drop rate went dead when I tested it. I also hunted late at night (2A roughly) so there was eith no competition or only one other which is easy to be in a different part hunting.
