Homestretch! (FFXI)

Fishingbot is so close to being done! Which is good because see that line way back there? That was my 'never fall below' money line, which was passed weeks ago. It's going to be a good long time before I start in on my next crafting mule.

He hit smithing 41 tonight! Yay! Tomorrow smithing goes to 45 so he can breaksynth iron splitters (breaksynthing with adaman ingots *sob*). Then done! His subs aren't 100% finished (gold and bone are 53, alchemy is 56, and others, only cloth is 60), but I can work on them slowly or not at all (what's he ever going to need bone 60 for?).

And speaking of crafting mules, I'm back to undecided. :/ I was so certain about cooking next, but now I'm 'meh'. The only crafts I don't have mules for are:

Smithing: Never ever going to do, I hate smithing.
Clothcrafting: Blah, dislike it strongly. Wouldn't mind having a cloth mule, but I don't want to skill it.
Alchemy: Wouldn't mind this one too much, but I've done alchemy subs so often, I hate to do 1-60 yet again.
Cooking: Haven't touched since Thistle took it to 60 years ago. Thus my sort of interest.

Yagudokisses is the next up, and would move to Windy if she cooks. Catsoup could kind of skill something, though he's my Jeuno mule and so I'd have to replace him with someone else.

Decisions decisions!

Cooking can only lead to fishing, don't do it!

Cooking leads to fishing; fishing leads to hate; hate leads to suffering.

Don't do it, Thistle, it can only lead you to the dark side!

I hate fishing! Well, the "new" fishing system, at least. Loved the old one! This might be a problem...

[quistie.livejournal.com]

...Because I'm suddenly in a Star Wars mood.

You were the Chosen One, Thistle! It was said you would destroy the cooking guild, not join them! Bring balance to the Craft, not leave it in darkness!

Okay...I think I am done.

*rolls* You're funny. :D

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Blech fishing! I might need to rethink this...

As stupid as those last two replies were, it's true. Unless you plan on leveling fishing, don't bother cooking. Cooking as very little to gain by itself :P. I have 90 fishing and 95 +2 cooking, and most of my income is from fishing :x.

Ugh, that's a problem then. I have fishing 60-something on Thistle, but all that was done before they changed fishing -- I hate hate hate the new fishing system and never fish. :/

If my reply rings true, then it's not stupid!!!

[vorloxu.livejournal.com]

If you talk bad about fishing, them is fighting words!!!

[aelice.livejournal.com]

I would level Cloth for you if I could. :3 I LOVED it.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yay! It's a deal!

Cooking doesn't NECESSARILY lead to fishing. There is still big money to be made on cooking as a stand alone craft (meaning no need to get sub crafts). The issue is, you need to mass produce to make that money.

Most people who have high level fishing make enough money from the fishing alone that the cooking skill becomes moot.

Yeah, that makes sense. Well, I'm not going to think about it right now. I'm frustrated enough with FB's woodworking. :P
