Yeah, it's kinda perfect for returning people though.

Adjust the resolution of menus.
The main screen resolution for "FINAL FANTASY XI" is dependent on the "Overlay Graphics Resolution" setting.
If the Overlay Graphics Resolution is set higher than the Menu Resolution, menus will be automatically resized.

Well it can be done relatively fast if you spam some High Tier BCs and such, or once it dies down abit...tho 10k plutons for my annihilator, 10k beiteitsu for Tizona and 300 boulders per Oboro JSE weapons (Aettir, Othas comes to mind)...

No offense but that kinda feels like saying you'll get your 1500 heavy metal plates "relatively fast" if you just spam some Akvan/Qilin/whatever and such.

Well, it's true... and without the proccing noise... one just needs to beat it the content not tickle it to death.

There's nothing "relatively fast" about either of them, is my point.

Making base relic/mythic weapons nowadays is a more valid example of something that's "relatively fast"

And I got lvl 110 fishing relatively fast with a pelican ring, which is still mind numbingly slow but faster than without a puffin ring.

However doing D and VD re-release battles like AA and such produces A LOT of these. Especially now. I had a surplus laying around but I already amassed 2,100 of these. It's not hard..at all. Out of any item SE could have chosen, they chose one most people had laying around or can get relatively easy..nevermind the fact you can get with Copper Vouchers as well.

I'll take a stab in the dark and no offense intended: But are you strictly trying to solo content and have no one to play with? Because me and my partner had and have no trouble taking down the content, even with trusts, and even building up chapters and other gear for other jobs in the process. A Mythic is NOWHERE near relatively fast in comparisons to getting 10,000 of these easy to obtain items.

If you can do them. Personally for me, a lot of those fights kick my *** on normal, and there's a few I struggle to beat even on very easy (primarily the avatar fights with their ridiculous enspell damage). The ones that I can do on difficult still take a very long time to die.

Really, most people had these just laying around? Most I knew simply tossed them after they had enough to get whatever RME or JSE i119s they wanted once they realized they were going for about 1k each or less.

I have about 430 of them which most people I know consider to be a ridiculous amount, yet that will only get a little more than 200 of them. The vouchers don't exactly come quickly, even if you're regularly handing in these merit bcnm drops. Those 430 were saved up over a *very* long period of time.
