I am not telling anyone to do exactly what I wrote, thats not the point of this, I get the whole internet trolling concept, I told what worked for me, I personally got extremely annoyed everytime i would stop in the middle of my work, go to town, change along all 7 channels to find a part time job just to find that it wasn't in that day and have to go back to gather more materials afterwards. Again this isn't me dictating how people need to do their weaving, but the thing with constructive critizism is that it is not required to listen to, in which case I am happy with my guide as it is. I personally don't like having to log into a forum to see the same message about how i should change one thing, everytime I log in after school. I can understand trolling but honestly I am not changing it, had you perhaps phrased the whole thing more politely instead of coming off cocky and rude, I would have most likely made a change to it. Instead of repeatedly telling me to change it, get the fact that I have a bit on part time jobs, I do not intend on changing the actual rank guide because I'm not dictating how people complete the training, I am just giving a way that they can. The point of this guide was to give an updated tips and training help list/guide etc to better the community, not to have someone sit there trolling a thread until it is changed to match their liking.

I agree, it gets pretty annoying if none of the channels have the PTJ (particularly since there's less chances for different PTJ's in Alexina). I am not trolling anyone, I'm just saying, it would be nice to take this into consideration, even if you don't put it in. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they're trying to troll you. The only line that might even somewhat sort of maybeish kindof resemble trolling is this line:
you'd have to be pretty damn lazy if you can't bother to raise your ptj count while you're shearing sheep/collecting webs anyway.
.
And that would be it.
The rest of it is purely constructive and IMO, can be very helpful.

Oh adelynn, I never considered what you said as trolling to be honest lol, thank you for being polite, it was what Cide continued and has been continuing rudely that I deem as trolling. Once again thank you ^-^

This is a great guide, but man...I'm on this so-called "hell rank" (rank D) and after spending 3 hours to only make 28 cheap silk, I'm pretty discouraged. I used a spider farm too and it was doing perfectly fine until someone came and killed them all. Yeah I know...I only spent 3 hours, but I'm a lazy life-skill ranker okay? =( I dunno how people can grind to rank 1. :T_T:

Not gonna lie I can only grind when I am upset/sad....thats mainly cause if I try fighting like that, I don't care if I die and end up losing more exp then gaining, at least with life skills I can't really lose anything for trying lol

I agree with you.
Players who have such nice person to write such a nice guide should be appreciate. Critical thinking is needed, but should be more lenient to the writer. If someone pay for the writer in return, yeah, writer should do better and better. However, now they are doing it for nothing but a sharing heart. If you cannot write a better guide, you don't have rights to say, oh no, it's bad or sth. else. You should repect their efforts.

I remember rank 8 was hell, had I had this guide I would've sold my finest silks sooner instead of running outta money :mad:
lol very useful stuff, pretty much what I did for all my ranks. Except I did use Walter, however I had the time.
I do know that you can get finest leathers from the fossil collection book from the banker in Zardine, however I don't know if that's any less time consuming than Walter's PTJ.

Some people have time for part time jobs, some don't its as simple as that, not a matter of laziness, the fact that sometimes the part time jobs do not occur. I have gone well over 5 days in game waiting for a certain part time job in between work and changing to all 7 chs in hopes it would arise and was disappointed when it didn't. It is because of that inconsistency that not only I have had, but many others I know have had, as to why I didn't strictly put it in that section of the guide. End of story.
Oh look, I turn the page and the story doesn't end.
Walter's loving occurs in pairs. I don't recall the exact match up, it's been oh so long, but it is easy enough to discover.
Delivery job A it is always paired with crafting job A. Delivery job B is always paired with crafting job B. Delivery job C is always paired with crafting job C. If you want crafting job A, and the first channel you check delivery job A, then switch channels looking for the crafting job (occasionally it pops up all delivery job A). If the first channel you check has any B or any C, none of the channels will have the crafting job A you want, so go back to what you do between jobs.

Which gloves are you using?
If you're using the 25 dura ones in favor of the finest gloves, it would explain a lot. Finest gloves really do help. At least, they did with me. With the 25 dura ones, I wasted so much thread and time on the first day. Decided to try the Finest gloves, and it made a significant difference. It was still horrible and eye-burning, but considerably less painful than not using finest gloves. Out of 10 full pets of webs, I'd get around 10-14 finest silks.
