If it makes you feel any better Miriel I have a friend on my server who's been playing since the NA release and it still only 58 BLM.

As far as accomplishments ^^

I've recently zoomed from Rank 6 to Rank 9 Windy. I'm glad because after getting used to being Rank 10 sandy with really long signets you feel like a loser at Rank 6 (especially leveling through the dunes on all of those jobs iwth short signet ><). To make it even more miraculous I've managed to make it through everything up to this point with no more than 3 people on any mission lol. This was especially interesting on 8-1 against the BLM NM orc and all of the adds in that damned old house ><

I also managed to get my NIN within spitting distance of 30. Hoping to fly to 37 pretty quickly and then maybe take THF to 37 for sub as well before giving my friend back his Emp Pin and buying one of my own.
