I just wanted to say, at level 90 you can now seem to be able to do Stone Vigil (Hard), and lost city of amdapor you just have to burst the first boss with hard hitting moves really quickly (blood lily for WHM, Hyosho Ranryu for NIN, a Blitz for MNK, etc etc)
Can you buy older stages of the weapon to revert back to in case you like multiple versions of it?
If the maps work like usual timeworn maps, you can actually carry like 5 or more at a time
You decipher one, carry another in your chocobo bag, one in your inventory, and one in each of your retainers (2 or more)
At least it should work in theory, that's how i carry a bunch of maps on me
