A mixed evening for sure.

The good news is that I discovered I had two Mog Wardrobes I didn't realize. So I had a place to dump all my equipment and now I can use the Safe and other Mog Storage options for crafting/quest item. So that was a plus. I also managed to finish a few quests and I must say, I haven't really been too invested in the characters or the plot of the game so far, just because it feels sparse due to all the gaming distractions, but I really love Halver. I unlocked the quest where he has to find a bride for the prince, and the cutscene explaining the whole sequence is hilarious and made him a more endearing figure than I thought. Shame I'm probably not going to be able to do this quest since it involves getting another player involved, but I really do appreciate the creativity of the whole thing.

On the other hand, I am still not close to getting my sub-jobs. I took chionos advice and tried farming Giant Wasps for Pollen so I can finish Rhapsodies of Vana'diel that gives me Gilgamesh's Introductory Letter, but the enemy did not like spawning or dropping items for me. I tried hunting Ghouls again, but only managed to get one to spawn all night before the server crashed (or my internet got spotty, not sure which) and decided to call it a night.

I do think once I acquire the sub-job ability, or get my RDM to lv. 30 I may, switch over to BLM and give that a whirl for a bit. I had not originally planned on using all the starter classes, but at least trying out different options has helped mitigate some of the game's frustrations.
