    The difference between the prices of Leaping Boots between Alexander and Asura is a meagre 300k.

    Certainly not on Asura, but they're gettable by a 15-30 on Alexander even without some high-level buddy.

    Just because the NM is fallable by anything over lvl 15ish doesnt mean that its that easy to get them. My friend over a week period or so killed him all the time...and he got ZIP despite him getting most of the spawns. All the times he killed her, no drop at all. Its an extremely low drop..hence the huge price tag =/

    and btw yes he has like 3 ppl camping with him and double Treasure Hunter.

    Yeah, I just quest for Aspir and Warp twice a week or so, and I'm all set.

    ************************Update2***********************

    after much festive eggnog, Halo2, phantom brave (surprisingly fun kind of like kartia for ps was), KOTR,Vamp the masqureade, and of course ff. I have returned <waits for applause but gets none>...... ok then this time we will talk about bcnm or Burning Circle Notorious Monster. These are boss fights that have some very nice drops i suggest you only do these with friends because some drops are worth alot even to high lvs. To begin I hope you all have been saveing your beast men seals <YES THEY ACTUALY SERVE A PURPOSE> you take these to jueno and trade them to a guy in port jueno shami i think but i may be wrong to lazy to check he will tell you what you can get for diffrent #s of seals but since this is a begginers guid i would think you would want the lv20 orb for 20 beast men seals. You use these at a burning circle there one in giddius,and i belive theres one in gusgen, theres also one in the orc out post <except its the hut you fought the 3 orc nms in the save the children quest>.
    The lv 20 one for here is a max party of 3 lv capped at 20 and you will fight 2 furries and colacola (or something like that) for this I suggest 2 mellee and 1 healer a good combo is 2 mnks and a whm the mnks hit there 2 hour and pound away while the whm heals. In the next few days we are going to try with a war/mnk, rdm/whm, and a whm/blm and see how that turns out.From this fight you can get some pacts (good for the aspireing summoner) some equipment and I heard theres a chance at astral ring since the update so far i havent tried this since then but i will investigate. The giddius one is aggainst 3 leeches i belive and i forget the other lv 20 one for all of these you will want to take some food to up your stats and maybe a couple potions if you can aford to you will want to wait for all of your 2 hours and keep the healer alive at all costs. I sugges going after the furries first in the sandorian bcnm as they will go down easyer than colacola (or something like that it may be cora cora but i am thirsty right now) colacola likes casting poison so either bring some antidotes or make sure your healer has poisonna (no reason they shouldnt have it as its a lowlv spell but you never know

    edited in some punctuation for all you do to popular demand but cut me some slack i type this in school during a 30 minute study hall i have to come up with a topic and such

    it would help a lot if there was the occasional insertion of punctuation spaces and capital letters as this would make the tutorial slightly easier to read than babylonic cuneiform thank you

    If i need cash quick Moat Carp fishing at Knightwell in Ronfaure does it for me...initially its a pain because of low skill and if you want to have an advantage u can buy the equipment. i think i paid like almost 30-40k for it all then 8k for a composite rod. the bait is the good part, right now i'm using little worms until i get rank 10 in fishing (i'm only 5+4 from my equipment so 9) they cost like 12 gil a piece i think. i spend about 2 hours to get 12 moat carp and they sell for 4-5k on Pandy and sometimes i get a stack of crayfish sell for 1k.

    if you dont mind the boredom of fishing its a good profit margin considering the cost of bait is low...but buy like 4-5 stacks of bait at low skill because u lose your catch alot. once you get the skill and start making 4-5k an hour fishing its a nice profit. then once u get higher in rank you can move onto bigger things!

    i suggest checking out fishing FAQ and manuals to know what stuff to use and when to move on to different baits

    good points on fishing on the above post i used to fish and was makeing a ok profit (after i got a taru fishing rod and i didnt have to replace the rod every 5 fish) but like he said it is extramly boring for those of us who seek more danger you can head to yugotto grotto around lv 22 (all orcs will be ep in the early parts) or 25 if you dont alot of aggro you can mine (great profit since darksteel is up to 10k a ore on asura and gold is at 14k also asura). head deeper in and get the chest key from orcs then go find the chest for a ok item. you can farm orcs since you can get scale armor from grunts and a gun from stone chucker, heck you can eaven camp a nm Ashmaker gotblut he seems to have a 100% drop rate for hermits wand since every time iv killed him hes dropped and iv asked every one I see kill it and they got it and a chance at preist robe which sells for alot more. note i didnt put update because iv mentioned this befor and i am that bored .

    Who the hell made up that stupid blood port term? Sounds dumb, prolly Brandy made it...the official term since the beta test for dying and HPing is Ghetto Warp ^^(Seirously it is).

    /sh = ignore for me! Shouts in most zones cept the financial districts are usually spam...with the exception of casinos lately.

    BTW jap = offensive racial slur >< JP easy and simple
