Abyssea 101

In my opinion Abyssea completely changes everything about FFXI that most of us has learned and know from our past years of playing. Many people would ask, why would I want to go in and play in this 'Abyssea' and the reason would be:

1. Exp - there are many ways to learn experience points in Abyssea and I'll attempt to go through them later on. 2. Gears - some are drop off NMs directly, some off chest from mobs/NMs, some off seals off NMs that you use to upgrade base/lower tier gears, some you can buy using Abyssea currency, etc. Again more on these later. 3. Challenges - NMs in abyssea in general are very low man friendly, especially with a competent group of players. But you can still do the toss bodies at the NMs route too if you want (not always a good thing though).
