Yeah, E9Nx is a waste of time on Niefl. They don't *need* it - the Jarls are perfectly good SCs without it, and the giants are a waste of money. And all those pretender design points you were going to spend on a bless (because lets face it, E9Nx is expensive for Niefl) can be rolled over into scales or a pretender who actually does something useful.

Also, you'll want to use your pearls on something other than shrouds. The era of clamming like mad in the endgame is over (at least in virtually any MP game organized via these forums). You don't have arbitrarily many pearls, its time to start rejecting strategies that overuse valuable and quite limited resources. You're going to want caps and coins and AMAs and pendants. Your pearls are already overworked. Where are these shrouds coming from exactly?
