More Permanent Items

By drops, do you mean like uncommon stuff or things like ores? Because if it's not worth it, just use the nx you would have spent on a magnet/pouch on MTS mesos and ignore all the regular junk stuff drops.

The meso magnet kind of depends on how much you train though because you don't get a whole lot of meso drops other than from training or farming for things like time pieces.

In a 4 hour session at O4 on 2x drop (which is profitable to use anyway) I easily pick up 3-5m in pure mesos. One grind session every 3 weeks is enough to cover that expense. I dunno what I'd be doing that doesn't drop a lot of mesos =/

I'm also kind of OCD when it comes to item drops. I try to pick up all mesos that drop unless they're really out of the way.
