Job adjustments scheduled for the December Version update!

...or so I hoped to see on the Playonline front page this week. Instead, there's some advert for FFXI junk for sa-

ASDGJSKAGH:GJ@~:AgGKL SWEET JESUS £87 for a ring D:

If buying one got me an in-game item (dalmy plox), then I'd consider it...wow, £87. No doubt there's postage and packaging to consider on top of that.


On the other hand, the gobbie and mandragora straps look pretty decent and are at least reasonably priced - unfortunately, all my strap-based needs (ie: nothing) are already catered for.

GG, SE. Now where's my job adjustments?

I also have discovered the USD has gone up against GBP by quite a lot since I last checked (1 USD = 0.649317 GBP).

Now I knew it was going back up again, but I hadn't realised it was by this much (last I knew it was 1: 0.5ish) so now importing stuff isn't worth the bother any more considering postage, customs charges and Parcel Farce's ever-popular 'handling fees'. If I could find a courier that could dodge customs reliably (and not just on occasion), it would still be worthwhile, but now I'm just gonna have to put up with UK prices. Today is a sad day :(
