Well I never complained about having to hunt for skillbooks when 4th job first came out because i figured it give me something to do, but now having 2 4th job characters I've realized that hunting for skill books is a pos...I have been hunting for assassinate 20 for three months with no luck at all...I've killed griff everyday on 2-4x and hunted Jr newties for months and nothing...it has completely stripped me of any motivation to train my shadower...I feel for bowmasters aswell bc most that i know are hurting for hurri20...srsly droprates for these skills need to be increased...on a side note the only assassinate I found was in the fm, I was so excited that i finally found this skill. As you would guess I bought the skill and i had to sit there and watch as that golden tree burned up before me eyes. So the hunt continues. Anyone else have my problem? Edit: assassinate is one of the skill that are not mtsable also which sux

If you were in broa, I could have givin you one since I have 3... Lucky me, as a paladin all of my stuff was very cheap (less then a mill each) so I didnt really need to hunt for my stuff.

pshh stop complaining, I had to get tt30 and still need to get gen30. Just merchant and then buy the skillbook. Easy to make 10-20% of your money everyday.

[/quote] The problem with Sinate 20 isn't that it's super expensive, it's that it's impossible to find. In the past month in Broa, searching the FM every day, I found 2 of them, both were horrible overpriced, but were still sold because of how rare they are.
