merc linkshells :: Final Fantasy XI

Thanks Wreyth. Glad I could make you smile.

Given RL committments and my poor sky availability, you know I'm 2 years from getting these things in DPS and they really are the best for COR.

I'm just covering all my angles :P

They're not lotted on as much as you'd think. Join a sky ls, save points and give it a week or two.

Have a sky LS. 13th on list for W hands. Think it'll take more than a week or two. ;)

It's funny the negative reaction. I go on the COR forums where they say, "go find a Mercenary shell and pay for them". So I look into it and find nothing but snide comments. It's funny how Alla works sometimes.

If paying merc shells is considered bad, I'll dutifully go about working for my W Hands. I'm not one to generally one to look into shortcuts.

If I were you I would just go park myself on Seiryu island and wait while doing afk things. Well, actually, I would look for a new sky LS first. But if all else fails, sit on the island and be patient and wait for an experienced LS to show up. Some time on the weekend is probably your best bet. If it's not some 2 week old fly-by-night LS full of greedy newbies, chances are good you could get them for cheap or even free if you're polite. I've seen W. hands rot more times than I can remember, but I haven't done endgame stuffs in awhile so who knows.

Ooh, that sucks.
Ahh just be patient man, you'll get em!

The reward will be much sweeter than paying for them. Plus you can save money to +1 them!

I've always agreed with this sentiment, which is why I've never even considered this line of options before. It took me a long time to get my Joyeuse but it was worth it. I'm pretty patient in general but I do like Filian's suggestion of camping Seiryu Island for a generous group.

I was hoping some members from such groups would show up in this thread and let me know they had rotting W hand abjurations.
