Apparently FFXIAllakhazam's forums are still around! I got curious and found my old Hornetneedle guide thread!

Before I started using the BG Forums as my main source of information, I used Allakhazam a lot. Back in '05 when my THF was under level 60, the Hornetneedle was one of the best offhand daggers you could use and the community there helped me get one. In return, I made a guide to help others get one as well. I was wondering if anyone here happened upon this around that time?

'Twas a simpler time.
