It took me a year from when I...Aw, never say never! It took me a year from when I completed CoP 2-3 to actually do CoP 2-5, and even with a static, it's really been slow going since we did 2-5 (7 months, and we're still on 5-3). I know people who move through a lot faster with pickup parties, but I suppose that only works for the more desirable jobs.<BR/><BR/>Ninja does really seem to be a gil sink, which is part of the reason why I refuse to level it with parties. I soloed to 20, with some help in through the teens, and I've taken it from 20 to 24 just on scrolls. If I really get serious about getting it to 37 as a sub for my PLD, I'll probably do it with my NPC, since the levels are getting a little long for scrolls.tsakikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254310011782929853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21730261.post-1156962086294158652006-08-30T11:21:00.000-07:002006-08-30T11:21:00.000-07:00I just don't see myself BCNMing with much regulari...I just don't see myself BCNMing with much regularity and, like you said, if I want to level NIN further I can do the EXP scroll thing.<BR/><BR/>Besides, even if I had taken it to 40, I still would have needed to sell the gear... essentially making it useless until I camped up a pin and bought the additional Ni scrolls. Whichever way I look at it, the job is just a gil sink for me at this point, so I'm killing it for now.<BR/><BR/>Oh and BTW, the likelihood of me doing CoP is next to nil considering my time windows and lack of a static.Paul Baumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05395430748553679591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21730261.post-1156905144117075382006-08-29T19:32:00.000-07:002006-08-29T19:32:00.000-07:00Congrats!

I would have recommended taking it to 40, just because of how useful it is in a bunch of BCNM40s, not to mention a couple of the CoP Missions, but I'm not one to talk, since I'm leveling my NIN on exp scrolls. :-)tsakikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254310011782929853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21730261.post-1156849166348205752006-08-29T03:59:00.000-07:002006-08-29T03:59:00.000-07:00Hehe.

Luckily I'm in a 5 person static made of a SAM/WAR, WAR/MNK, NIN/WAR, NIN/WAR, and WHM/BLM. So we just pick up a 6th. I don't see how NIN can solo tank before 37. DUo tanking seems to do well, since as a single NIN, my shadows are down very fast.<BR/><BR/>Thank goodness you're finished with it though. And don't worry, at least you play a melee job. Imagine me, the WHM, who tries to avoid getting hit at all costs and REDUCING my hate, trying to be the tank. There must be a reason my PLD is level 6.Darretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04963640686378514804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21730261.post-1156790082084575462006-08-28T11:34:00.000-07:002006-08-28T11:34:00.000-07:00Congratulations on wrapping up NIN!If theres one t...Congratulations on wrapping up NIN!<BR/><BR/>If theres one thing you should never do, it's stop leveling a sub ONE level before you have it where you need it :P You've just experienced first-hand why not to do that, ahaha.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I'd have grabbed some Dorado Sushi. That adds a bit of Enmity, and some accuracy, which really helps for your hate keeping, though, not much you can do now you're 37 and done with it.<BR/><BR/>Consider yourself lucky to be able to sell your Emp. Pin. I have one, but it's off the Empress variety, and I do plan to do stuff with my NIN, so I couldn't sell it even if it wasn't rare/ex.Faulseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06051860883410507143noreply@blogger.com
