Made a new 'friend' today. Might help me get a SBS, for a price, which is still a deal for having my name on it & I get the LQ. =) IF that doesn't work out, I suppose I'll just pony up some cash and buy some point in SS to make/pay for one. Either way, solo'ing is going rather slow than I expected, which is really depressing. I almost had more fun in the newbie mines! I suppose it was the time=reward factor. Not really seeing it much as I try to grind EXP. Tried to get into 5 parties today and was either ignored or told I was "too small." So, Nina's advice was worthless. No brainer really, need eq to get levels, then you get exp parties. Doesn't work the other way around.
