Going back to Bastok is usually quite a pain because I have to take the airship from Jeuno to go there instead of warping. Sometimes though, I am able to outpost warp to Bastok Metalworks rather quickly so for that I am thankful.

The reasons for going to Bastok are usually one of the following:
> To turn in crystals for rank points
> To get another supply quest
> To buy some cornettes to level up fame in Windy
> To move Beastmen's Seals to the stack I have in storage
> To check AH prices of Sushi and Arrows since I never make it to Norg

This last time I decided it was time to farm again since I don't have a lot of time on the weekends to do anything more profound since I work the next day. I gotta tell ya the most pleasant feeling I have in the game is when I step outside of Bastok and hear that old familiar music from South Gustaberg. It's so melancholy, and so reminiscent of when I was leveling all my jobs at low levels, that I am just amazed. It is just beautiful scenery to me now, despite it being the stone-mountain-gray-cold-region of the game.

I love Bastok!

Sometimes I see that old badgirl from the Allah boards traipsing around in there and then I just gotta go over there and examine her. Heh! Too bad there isn't a /spank command! Hah, I know what she would say if she were reading this too... "Somebody's not getting any ARE they?! "
