4th Jobbers: Do you personally need NX?

I'm kinda curious, how much do 4th Jobbers these days rely on Cash advantages to hunt? I know the first Lv200's didn't have all the fancy benefits the CS now provides so it's still possible to go without (just as reg-Dex Warriors are still possible), but on the other hand I understand the end-game is a lot more managable with NX. So I'm wondering (4th Jobbers only please), do you get by with only the ingame essentials, or do you regularly buy 2x/Pets/HP Washing/etc.?

I casually grind 1x, not really gaining much xp but still doing something, but if i end up in the OMFG MUST LEVEL mode, then i'll buy a 2x card and go to work =) the OMFG MUST LEVEL mode...doesnt happen often xD barely never I dont wash, nor do i use pets any longer (but pets help a whole helluvalot)

I use 2x cards rarely, and my pet has no picking equips and all that garbage. I maybe use 2x once every couple weeks

I bought a 10day x2 exp coupon and a reg store permit with mesos. All the NX I've ever bought and probably ever will.

I've never bought NX. I did, though, use NX made through MTS in order to get 2x cards, a store permit and a pet a few times.

saftey charms if it takes you 2-3 hours to earn 10% @ 160+, you don't want to die and lose 2-3 hours work when all you have to do is keep a charm in your inventory and buy another one every 90 days (if you don't die). i also keep a bare bones pet (black kitty + meso magnet + item pouch) because manual looting is really slow if you live 4500+ miles from the nexon servers. it's dead right now though, but ill be reviving it once i get a new NX code (no shoppers/future shop within 800mi) i buy 2x exp with leftover NX (a 25k card every 3 months) for the reasons omacron does... just to cement the fact i will be leveling tonight...

It's pretty easy to level up in hours with the new training places compared to what I used to train on back in the day. Ludi was a mess with high HP monsters compared to their rather minimal EXP. The places in Leafre just blow it away. It's not really necessary to buy NX, but it will surely help you.

I bought about 5 2x cards in total and a couple shops/smegas. But now with the NX trading update in EMS I'm buying every NX item with mesos.

I get by through MTS :S I think the in-game exps are quite slow which make the game much less enjoyable.

I get NX like every week but I rarely train my AM I/L that often anymore. Trying to get my Evan to lv80 before Event over xP Before, I would get a 2x card at every 2x event to make 4x always on my AM but now I do it on my NW and Evan. NX makes the game easier ^_^

smeat: Dang, I knew I was forgetting something like that. I wonder if Charms are even more common than 2x, I imagine they're a much cheaper price to pay than 5~10% Exp of work from a little mishap from lag or something.
