Final Fantasy XI Discussion

[shinsensaitoh]

My name there is Saitou

Currently lvl 6

Warrior

I want to be a Dragoon whenever I hit lvl 30

I am from San D' Oria Kingdom


If any of you are from the same Kingdom, lets PT and level up one of these days.

[QwithoutU]

Leif
Currently lvl 10
Thief
no aspiration, just fun
I am from Bastok (Ifrit Server)

and

Nord
Cureently lvl 6
White Mage
summoner
San'doria (Phoenix server)

[Arcane]

Name: Gharent
Race: Galka
Level: 9 WAR
Nation: Bastok
Server: Midgarsormr

I'm eventually going to switch to Paladin/Warrior.

[Michael]

Name: Kanzen
Race: Elvaan
Level: 18 Monk, 10 Thief
Nation: Windurst (it wasn't my idea ¬_¬)
Server: Odin

Leveling thf/mnk right now, until thief gets 15, then switching to mnk/thf and hardcoring it to 30 and seeing what I can do about the Samurai and Dragoon quests. Level Samurai/Monk to 35, switch to Dragoon/Samurai, and level Dragoon to 70~ And of course, by the time I do this, the December level cap raise will have taken effect, so I'll get Samurai to whatever level it will max out at, then switch to Dragoon.

All I can say is, with Samurai/Monk, a fully stacked Boost with a 2h swing would be pretty intense, haha. Though if I felt like wasting the time of leveling warrior, I'd rather sub that. But too much extra wasted time.

[Scarface]

I hate you all, I really do........

[Fukki]

Name: Rainey
Race: Mithra
Job: lvl 8 WHM
Country: Bastok
Server: Odin
Future Job: WHM/SMN or SMN/WHM

[Magatsu]

So where is all the FFXI chatter at? It has died out so it seems.

[Aelice]

Dear Lord, I want this game. Now. X_X

[Kitoshi]

Name: Nekoyami
Race: Cat chick
Level: 6 Black mage
Nation: Bastok or something.
Server: Titan.

How the hell is it, that out of all of us, we're all on completly different servers? Is that even possible... :lol:

[Aelice]

Cant you just delete and recreate your character until you're on the same server as an ally?

[Kitoshi]

Not that I can see. Just get a world pass, like I did. I can ivite 5 people onto my server. Since 2 people here are in odin, I might just recreate in odin, and send my friend to odin. That'll make 4 of us.

[GimpyBoy]

Yes you can, all major news sources say that it is possible to recreate until you are on the server of choice, but it can be very annoying doing so over and over until it finally works.

[Kitoshi]

Of course, you could do that, or you could just ask a friend for a world pass. They arnt too expensive, I got mine for free.

[Michael]

Passes on Odin at US launch were 1250. I could find better things to spend 1250 on. And yes, it's possible to reroll until you get on a certain server. Everyone of my friends has done it. =p

Fukki, don't sub Summoner. Subbing pet classes is a bad idea. White Mage may be a good sub for a Summoner, but black mage would give you more MP overall, and summons drain MP as they are out, so more MP = longer summons. :D

Yes, come to Odin. Love me, for I am level 25 now. I have 15 thief too, but lately I've been using level 5 warrior sub, because I notice some warriors in the game leave much to be desired in the sense of knowing how to provoke. I'd level warrior to 15, but I'm so close to 30 now, screw it. As soon as I get 30 I'm rounding up a japanese posse to help me with Samurai quest.

[super5vash]

Remade several times because I didn't like my race... :P right now:

Hyake
Male/Hume
Level 5 Warrior
Midgardsormr
San d'Oria

Final:

Samurai/Warrior

[Michael]

Any of you people considering monk / sub monk, learn the ways of boost! I managed to stack it ~nine times before a pull. Max you could stack it would be 11. My attack rating went from 98 to 208, and I hit something I normally hit for mid teens for 28+35. Dominated~

[Aelice]

Can you guys take screenshots? *_* I looove the Elf-males, please show me some doing stuff. I so want to play just to run around as one.

The monk/thief combo sounds interesting. ;) I'm grabbing FFXI in a week, when I get paid.

[Michael]

http://www.altimit.cc/ffxiss/

My screenshot archive will be there, heh.

[Ikariya]

A few days me, Tama_Chan, and 10 other ppl went through the Palbrough Mines and we just finish killing some real tough Qudauvs. Suddenly a Quduav train (12 or so) killed all of us.

[Michael]

Heh. When I was in Valkurm, someone trained about 15 Hill Lizards. I don't know where the hell they found that many, but I'm not kidding when I say there were at least 15. That was the first time I saw FFXI slow down. Of course, it didn't help I hadn't rebooted in a week and I had winamp3 in the background.

Thanks so much for the screenshots!

Damn, your elf guy is sexy, Michael. *_* I want this. Now.

[Kitoshi]

Elf guys look so homo to me. :lol: I don't know why, but when I see one in the game, I swear he's gonna touch my ***.

Right up your ally, Aelice. :naughty: :lol:

[TheSadOne2k]

Ok, my comp now could handle it.... barely, but in about a month to a month in a half I'll be getting a new customizedo ne, though time at first will be tight, I would be able to play lots eventually...

I'm just curious if it's worth getting... I'm kinda torn...

P.S. how much is it to mantain a char. per month?

[Siendra]

Its around $12 American per month. I want to get it too, but I atleast need a new Graphics card first.

[cyber assassin]

Yes you should get it. Isnt this in the wrong forum?

[Siendra]

No. Were it a disscusion about the game, then it would be in the FF forum, but since this is simply looking for referals, ect, it really should be in a general area. I can't say that with any real authority, but it's how I see it.

[cyber assassin]

Okay that makes sense to me....guess its time to up my meds....j/k. Or am i?

[sazae]

Here are the prices for the game:
$12.95 per month for your main character
extra $1 per month for each additional character
extra $1 per month to play Tetra Master (it's a seperate server)

[shinsensaitoh]

I have my own Journal on FFXIONLINE.COM

[brokensilence]

I'm definitely going to get it.

[Nausicaa]

AHHH!!! I don't know what to do! I started a Tarutaru character as a Black Mage. I am still on lvl. 1 and I only started out with 10 gil. I am too weak to fight even the easiest monsters but I have no money to buy better equipment. Quests and missions are also out of the equation. Can anyone please give me some guidance? I need help!

[Seijashi]

I am jealous, now I want. ;_;

[Seijashi]

It looks good, I might even get it.

[Seijuro_Hiko_IX]

I'm beginning to become interested, but I'm curious as to what the system requirements are. I know they have probably been posted somewhere in the FF forum, but I never click on the FFXI threads.

[Overbite]

i think the game is fun.

personally i dont like the idea of paying monthly to play because it adds up quickly and in 5 years you cant say "hey i wanna play ffxi again" because the servers will be down.

but the beta was fun.

[Zophar]

what are your specs?
I'll tell you if you could run it ok or not.
also, go here and download this program. It tests your computer for FFXI compatability and performance.
the link doesn't work, sorry

[Kitoshi]

I love how SO many people put it down for being "online", and now so many want it because of all its hype. Guess what? Its the best FF ever! :lol: Well to me it is. >_> What? Dont look at me like that!

Seriously tho. Playing with real people, with your friends, just makes the world of FF so complete. :crush:

[Mercenary]

Name: Silvite
Race: Taru-taru
Level: 14 White Mage
Nation: Windurst
Server: Midgardsormr

Also have a lvl 9 warrior on bastok, but I just have that there until the end of the trial...

Plan to be a Summoner/White Mage... if I dont quit the game before then as I am getting impatient just waiting for lvl 18(for subjobs)... 30 will be forever and a half :/

[cyber assassin]

sum/wht isnt very good sum/blk is better and if you want to be a healer brd/wht. also if you are haveing a hard time lvling up go to www.ffxionline.com that is the best site i have found for ffxi or at least the best one in english they have a guide on how to lvl up easily in there i think it is on the front page some where.

[Ikariya]

Finaly got myself a Claymore. Now I'm happy :D :D :D :D

[Nausicaa]

I have to agree. I haven't had this much fun playing a Final Fantasy in a long time. There is just so much to do in this game. Not to mention the world is absolutely gorgeous. So many people around too! Great fun!

Okay, even the UO servers are still up, chief. That's over six years. EQ is going on five years now, stronger than ever. AC has been out about four. DAoC about four.

Let me say this again: THE SERVERS ARE NOT GOING TO DISAPPEAR.

Oh my god. The servers will be up for a long time to come. Not every MMORPG player, especially the Japanese, given the market for them over there, jumps from MMO to MMO, I know plenty of EQ players who have been playing since release, and don't plan on playing any of the new MMORPGs coming out, because EQ is what they know and love. Same in all the other games I've played. So long as there's a decent enough market, the servers are going to stay up. And that market base is NOT going to disappear in a mere four years from now.

[Michael]

Originally posted by cyber assassin

...no they didn't. Every single one of my friends has rerolled to my server. Now, I have noticed that all subsequent characters are defaulted to the server your first character is on, but these people are creating their mains, not an extra character, thus, they are able to reroll until they get onto a specific server. Stop spreading lies. =/

And thanks for the clarification, Michael. ^.^ I was getting hesitant about buying it rerolling another server with the main character wasn't possible.

i just picked a random number. but my point is the servers wont be up forever. there will be a time where you cant play ffxi anymore. i could go play an atari game right now and have no problems and those are over 20 years old. could you play FFXI in 20 years?

and 5 years of $13 a month is quite a bit of money.

[Michael]

Pick realistic numbers then. 20 years is a realistic number. 10 years is a realisitc number, but considering there are MMORPGs still running beyond the five year mark, it's not nearly a long shot.

And you know what? I don't care if $13 over five years is a lot of money. That money not only makes sure the servers stay up as long as possible, and also funds development of subsequent games for when the current one dies out, as well as the servers to run them. Sorry, there's nothing that will make me addopt this idea that paying for a game is a bad completely incomprehensible and shameful act. It's an ignorant point of view. You go on and keep playing your Diablo 2 and your FPS games for free. You have fun with your games that have official updates two or three times then are completely forgotten by the devolopment companies. You have fun with your online games with terrible online services with zero active enforcement of cheats and hacks. You have fun in your games playing with all the 1337 kiddies who can't formulate a single coherant statement with their character name of "super_wet_girl--" who obviously are always the better player than you, because you aren't using a cookie cutter character progression, because you feel like being something different from the rest of the powergaemrs, you "fscking n00b!" (in the words of the players you'll much more frequently run into)

[Michael]

You should play on my server, because I'm awesome, or something. Even though someone apparently doesn't want me getting to 30. Well, should be easier since the power gaming white/red mages are catching up, given I made 27 in the middle of the week, and there was kinda this large gap between us. I could probably group in Batallia Downs much more easily now, even though I did the Kazham quest for supah xp. Meh, Kazham is so worth it, but only if you can get a group, and it seems most of the japanese players organise a party before they even get there, so pick up groups are very hard to find, boo~

I'm in two LSs, one is my hardcore level/raid LS, and the other being a bunch of friends. Since they're friends, they don't care I'm in the hardcore one doing my thing. Anyway, I'm sure we could find some room for you in Discord if you enjoy the game.

There're some new screens up, by the way~

[Scarface]

Man at low levels Thieves are just weak Warriors....:bawling:

Don't talk about something you don't understand you "fscking" noob. Just cause you're a ****ing rich boy doesn't mean everyone is. And you can get good service online in Warcraft 3 in Battlenet and guess what? It's free. And in games like Diablo and Warcraft 3. you don't have the time to ****ing spellcheck every word. Typos happen and only total shitheads complain about it. And who the **** ever uses 1337 language online? I haven't seen it being used once, except for elitist bastards who make fun of noobs and think that they all use 1337 language. And who can't spell? "powergaemr"

[!n|=3c+iOn]

I suggest you go and get the benchmark utility for FFXI and try it out.

I think you just proved his point. We'll both be glad not seeing you on the plains!

Don't be bitter because we have grown up and no longer rely on our parents money. You have to be 18 to sign up for the account anyway. That or have a willing parent/guardian. This game is obviously not meant for people who still collect $3 in their piggy bank every Saturday.

If I'm wrong and you happen to be over 18 and supporting yourself, it's too bad that you can't afford $12 a month, which is less than a carry-out pizza. Playing games is a privilege, not a right.

World of Warcraft will also be $10 or more. Every MMORPG costs about that much.

[Michael]

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <breathe> hahahahahahahahahahaha. Nice, cheif.

You didn't understand my post AT ALL. The whole end of the post was satire.

you don't have the time to ****ing spellcheck every word.
Nope, and "gaem" is a common typo. See, I enjoy mocking terrible typing skills and overly common typos. It's the same idea of how such terms as 'pwned' got popular. I frequently use 'teh,' 'si,' 'gaem,' 'powar,' 'etf,' and the like, especially in jest.

Now, because it's obviously beyond you, my use of 'fscking n00b' wasn't me calling you a noob. It's me mocking the fact that you have infinititely more uberleethardcorepowergaming elitists in free online games who think if you aren't as specific character build, or you don't play the game a specific way, you are gimp, a "fscking noob," and you can't hang with them. Notice there was no ending of a sentence there. Notice how I was carrying on the same idea. Notice how I was speaking specifically of Diablo 2. Notice that it all flows together to make the point I just explained. Notice I specifically noted that I was speaking as if I were such a character.

I've played Diablo, StarCraft, and Diablo 2 all for a long time over battle.net. I know what I'm talking about, and I'm going to mock it. Sorry, there's no way you can convince me that battle.net servers are just as good as any MMORPG's servers are. Why? Because I'm paying for them. I'm paying to make sure dumbasses don't name their character "super_wet_girl" and get away with it. And beyond that, the fact that you must to pay for the game weeds out majority of the immature children out there, because unless they can get mommy or daddy to pay for them, they aren't going to be playing. This is a major plus.

Sure there are still powergaming supah elitists on MMORPGs, and there are still immature children, and people who need to be drug out into the streets and shot, and complete idiots, but we have a significant number less than free games. It's sort of like college. Since you're paying for college, you tend to straighten up, or get the **** out. That or you slack and go to cheap schools just to get something accomplished.

Yes, obviously you have a 66drk/60war. See, you have a character already. This patch you speak of probably was for alternate characters-- subsequent Content IDs. Your first ID is not bound to a server. Your very first character you CAN reroll until you end up somewhere. I originally myself started on Valefor, and decided to reroll a monk (made original character a warrior, because I myself believed that the patch you mentioned affected your main character, and I didn't want to be level 10 when my friends all started) and ended up on Odin instead. Every single one of my friends has rerolled their first Content ID to end up on Odin with me. I've played with alternate characters during my free month, after adding two Content IDs just to mess around and send things around to buy low and sell high at the AH. I've deleted and recreated the second Content ID's character mutliple times, and I cancelled my third one. Either way, all of these characters have infact ended up on Odin, regardless of how many times I reroll them. This, I assume, is your patch.

The fact remains, people can reroll to get onto specific servers. I don't care how long you've played, I've done it. My friends have done it. American forums are flooded with this method. Everyone knows about it. Why? Because it works.

just a question for those of you who do own the game, is the Dragoon class any good? Thats what I want to work towards when/if I get it.

[AnimeFan3oo3]

Ok, ok, I admit my defeat but now I am going to make some comments on what you both posted. (Michael, Tyler_Durden)

We'll both be glad not seeing you on the plains!

Hahahaha. You better hope not. I might still get this game and then I just might grind your *** into the ground.

Now, because it's obviously beyond you, my use of 'fscking n00b' wasn't me calling you a noob. It's me mocking the fact that you have infinititely more uberleethardcorepowergaming elitists in free online games who think if you aren't as specific character build, or you don't play the game a specific way, you are gimp, a "fscking noob," and you can't hang with them.

Notice that it all flows together to make the point I just explained. Notice I specifically noted that I was speaking as if I were such a character.

Notice how many times you said notice in that paragragh? Not all the online servers are that bad. I only played on the StarCraft and WarCraft 3 servers but I think that WarCraft 3 has pretty good game quality for a "free" online game. Sure, you get a few annoying 11 year olds on WarCraft 3 but I've seen many more people over the age of 20 playing WarCraft 3 online then I 've seen even people under the age of 15 playing.

[Scarface]

what I don't get is......

Why does everyone NOW like the Dragoon class.......

I mean everyone hates Kain and he IS the Dragoon of Final Fantasy, yet now for some reason everyone wants to become one........

If you know me at all, you would have guess from the moment they added Dragoons to this game was the day I started saving up.

I will honor the name of Kain by pimping out his threads all over Vana'diel

and btw Dragoons suck in the game.:P

[shinsensaitoh]

Dragoons does not suck in the game. Maybe when they're still on the lower level, but once you get a Dragoon on level 20, then its on!

Too bad I havent been able to play as much as I want to. I am rather busy doing work and I really miss this game. I cant wait to get back into it and get my character going.

[Mercenary]

Who hates Kain? Kain kicks ***.

[cyber assassin]

i have always liked dragoons they have always been my favorite class in the ff series loved kain loved useing a dragoon in fft loved freya and dragoons are good i almost have full af for mine

[!n|=3c+iOn]

i just finished installing ffxi...

now im updating...

it looks like it won't be too long...

i'm guessing around 30 mins or so...

i have a world pass to play on ragnarok...

i'm thinking of making a ninja/thief...

i'm not sure yet though...

[shinsensaitoh]

I can get you in the Linkshell that I am in !n|=3c+iOn. Its called Wolves of Vana'Diel. Its a tight knit group, we help each other out whenever its needed. Theres no such thing as a 'n00b' on that Linkshell. I suggest that you start at the Kingdom of San D'Oria, its prominent and its also dominant out of all regions right now at the Raganarok server.

[shinsensaitoh]

Oh btw, if you're just now downloading all the updates then you may want to sit down and relax..Read up on the instruction booklet and learn the different features on the game. It takes at least an hour to two hours just to get all the new updates.

thiefs are fun but ninjas are not so imo because they are so damn expensive and their dual weild ability is pointless but if you want to be one go ahead maybe you will be the best ninja around

[shinsensaitoh]

Well he'd have to first do the quest in order to re-class as a Ninja. I say try it out anyway whenever you have the option of doing so. Thats one of the great features on FFXI, re-class without having to make another character.

[!n|=3c+iOn]

i did start in San D'Oria...

right now i'm just lvl'ing up outside of town...

it's pretty interesting right now...

oh yeah my characters name is infection...

[Overbite]

im thinking of buying the game now. i had the beta and it was fun.

only bad part is that the first update when i got the beta took me 6 hours to download on a 56k. :(

im guessing its going to take a lot longer on the full version :(

Ninja do have their uses. Given, yes, they are an expsive class, up there with ranger, so to be a good ninja translates to having a lot of money. They're a class better suited to leveling after you've got some other classes well off.

Use wise, people will sub ninja as a ranger for dual wielding daggers. Ranger damage in incredible as is, even more so with their weapon skills. The two chosen ranger sub job routes that involve hardcore TP are samurai for Store TP and Meditate, or ninja for dual wielding daggers for quick, multiple strikes. Up to the player, really.

I just completed the ninja quest myself, as well as the samurai quest. I'm going samurai, but I figure I may as well get all of the quests I can done. I plan on doing Dragoon last~ Well not all, the hell with summoner. And all of the other quests are just running around, for the most part.

And I've always loved dragoons. I can't eally say since Kain, because I never got into the FF series. I was a Chrono Trigger and Seken Densetsu kind of guy. Tactics is what brought forth my love for Dragoons. Since it will be the class I take to 70, I'm going to do it last. But I've said this 39843 times already. =p

[Michael]

Why, yes, yes I did realise that. It's a form of alliteration, used in rhetoric and poetry. In this case, it constantly returns to the same overall point being made.

If you know me at all, you would have guess from the moment they added Dragoons to this game was the day I started saving up.

I will honor the name of Kain by pimping out his threads all over Vana'diel

and btw Dragoons suck in the game.:P

I've rather clearly stated numerous times (even before I knew FFXI had a class system) that I loved the Dragoon class.

[Frank]

Final Fantasy is a disgrace compared to the classics. RPGs nowadays have very very complicated magic systems or is just way too hard to stomach. I really don't like the way final fantasy has gone. I liked the generic classics better, where you were able to choose your own classes in the game. It just got too weird for me -_-.

Well then you should like ffxi.

[!n|=3c+iOn]

well i've been trying to lvl for the past couple hours...

i got from lvl 2-5...

its pretty hard so far...

i actually found someone who wanted to party...

we died a couple times...

but we both ended up getting to lvl 5...

where do i find the orc for the 1st mission?

just wondering cause i could not find one...

overall i'm having a great time with the game...

though its hard to get ppl to party with you...

[Overbite]

the Orc is a regular enemy. In the fields outside of san d'oria, they should be a good distance away from the gates, but still in the same area. just go south and you should find some. But they can be pretty tough at low levels, so lvl up a bit more.

[!n|=3c+iOn]

so they're just regular ones?

not the mesmerizing ones right?

[Overbite]

yeah. the ones carrying the axes with the little targets painted on them are the ones you should attack. they drop the axe pretty often so it shouldnt be that hard.

[!n|=3c+iOn]

oh yeah...

i saw a couple of those...

i heard that the auction house is a good place to get money...

if you sell shards in packs of 12?

and other stuff in packs...

anyone a member at ffxionline.com?

just wondering cause i joined there last night...

they have a pretty good forum...

[Arcane]

Yeah, you can get a good amount of money from auctioning crystals at the Auction house. Not as much as you used to though. Fire crystals used to go for at least 2000 gil per stack, but they've dropped down to only about 1000 gil per stack. I think people are starting to become a little more careful on what they blow their money on.

[GimpyBoy]

Well, I'm making my first char tonight.

If all goes well it will be,

Rylan
Level 1
White Mage
Bastok
Leviathan

Aspirations: Bard/White Mage

[Aelice]

I'm also planning on White Mage/Bard when I get the game this weekend. ^^;

[GimpyBoy]

Make sure you go Bard/WHM not WHM/Bard.

Cuz you can't get all the cool songs the second way.

YAY! Another healer buddy.

I suggest that you start at the Kingdom of San D'Oria, its prominent and its also dominant out of all regions right now at the Raganarok server. yeah i would like to join if you still can get me in?

anyways...

can you sell stacks of crystals at regular vendors for the same amount of gil?

just wondering because the action house is confusing me right now...

:lol:

:lol:
No, you'll get ripped off from selling them to a vender. The Auction house isn't too confusing. Just select the stack of crystals and set the price you want them to be sold at. Then check your sales status a few hours later to see if they sold and if they have, confirm the sale and the money will be delivered to your delivery box at your house.

[!n|=3c+iOn]

how much should i sell them for?

i have a stack of earth crystals...

and some rabit hides...

i just need some quick cash for equipment...

I will. ^^ Once I can become a Bard, WHM will be my sub. My friend's going for Paladin/Warrior, and another's going after Warrior/Samurai. :P Figured I could heal them while I oggled other bishie Elvaan. I'm also heading towards Alexander server.. >_>; He's getting me a discount on the game, so he made me promise to start there.

[AnimeFan3oo3]

Is FFXI completely turnbased? (Like the other FF games)

[Susumari]

I personally think it should've stayed a console game. eh, *shrug*

[Michael]

No, it's an active combat system, like all other MMORPGs.

And you can't compare XI to any other Final Fantasy... they're completely different types of games. =/

Ack, you'll be lucky to get even 200 gil for a stack of earth crystals. If you want a general idea on how much to auction items for, go to Bid at the Auction House and browse through the items until you find what you want to sell. Then go to Sales History on the item you selected and that will tell you how much the item has been selling for.

I made about 5000 gil the first night I started messing around with the Auction House. That let me buy a whole new set of armor. :D

[GimpyBoy]

Hey Aelice. Just to let you know recreating to get onto a specific server can be a pain in the butt. It took me an hour to get onto Leviathan. So be prepared. ;)

i started using the auction house yesterday...

i but put two stacks of earth crystals...

whats goblin armor worth now?

i found a piece yesterday and i had no idea what to do with it...

right now i'm just lvl'ing up like usual and getting bat wings and rabbit hides to sell...

if any of you start in san d'oria selling 2 bat wings = 200 3 rabbit hides = 120...

just wanted to let you know since its a good way to get some extra cash when you first start out...

*_* I've heard. Ak. Now I'm tied between Odin and Alexander, both of which have close friends spread out. ^^; My game arrives soon, if the post office decides to show some mercy. How are Bards? I'm hearing they're not a very popular class.. *_* Along the lines of 'everyone wants one in their party, but nobody wants to be one'.

[GimpyBoy]

Well they're great party boosters. I'm going to be a bard/white mage, and essentially that makes me someone that everybody will want in their party, being that they can heal, cast buffers, recharge mana, and a myriad of other useful things. But they're not very good in combat... Which is why no one wants to be one.

I on the other hand don't care about that... Although it is pretty funny, all you have to do is say, "I'm a white mage." And people respond with, really? Wanna come along? We'll help you level.

It's great. Meeting people is super easy as a WHM, and it'll only get easier as a Bard/WHM

And I know exactly what you mean. I have friends here on AN on Leviathan, and buddies in my WoW clan on Ramuh. I'm gonna have to shell out that extra dollar a month to play with both.

[!n|=3c+iOn]

yeah being a wht mage = instant party...

being thf = eh? what are you again?

:lol:

well i at least got to lvl 7...

i had enough money so i quickly bought all the leather equip...

so i kinda look goofy now...

i bought some armor earliar and i ended up looking like he-man...

i quickly sold that piece of armor...

i didn't wanna watch my character run around like that for an hour or two...

[Aelice]

LMAO! XD But the homoerotic bondage clothing in the game is so sexy!

[Frank]

OMFG! FFXI went MMORPG? This guy I know loves this new game...but yet he loves diablo 2....maybe he likes it because it's MMO style, where you don't have to wait your turn to do your stuff. So this is more like Everquest, but with the kick-*** FF reputation, right? Maybe this is worth a good look :)....I never thought AN would cover such stuff. But Final Fantasy was always at the forefront of RPG gaming! It's great to see a fresh new style care of SquareSoft.

[!n|=3c+iOn]

i love this game...

i used to be a big fan of diablo 2...

but lately i lost interest in it...

i guess ffxi is my new diablo 2...

[!n|=3c+iOn]

it was a little too homoerotic for me...

it wouldn't be so bad if my character was female...

:lol:

[Scarface]

heh I am a thief, and on level 15 they become instantly useful in groups.

SNEAK ATTACK

I can chain massive damage from behind, better than a silly warrior. :P

Haha, Buncha weaklings. BlackMage/Whitemage is where its at. Im a powerhouse with my attacks, and an angel with my healing spells. xD

Black Mage: 20
White Mage: Soon to be 10

[AnimeFan3oo3]

I am not sure if I should get this or if I should wait for WoW. (World of WarCraft) I have a feeling that WoW won't cost as much as FFXI but you know what they say, price isn't everything. I am also kind of a Blizzard fan and I love Warcraft and StarCraft.

[shinsensaitoh]

I am still in awe on how many people here actually plays this game. From what I can remember, a few months ago, most of you crucified this game because it was not a true FF game (you know who you are) and because it was online and you have to pay for it. I am glad that some of you actually changed your minds and gave it a try. I am enjoying the hell out of it every chance I get.

[!n|=3c+iOn]

i wasn't gonna get this...

but after reading some faqs and some message boards...

i got really interested in it...

anyways...

when you change class...

and you don't have the option of sub job...

is there any advantages?

do the stats that you gain go with your original jobs stats?

is there any pnt of changing classes when you are lvl 9?

cause i was gonna chg to warrior for a bit...

I said I hated the fact that I had to pay monthly for this game, but I knew I was gonna buy it cause square has cursed me to buy every FF game out there.........

*looks at his copy of FF X-2*

>_<

damn SSS I wish we were on the same server........

[Zophar]

Name: Ashitaka
Stats: don't know
aspiration:??(too early)

[Aelice]

My interpretation on the monthly fee; the game is so addictive that Square makes you take the time to run out, grab/earn so-and-so dollars, and pay them, hence giving you a few valuable hours to remember what sunlight feels like. :P

Shinsensaitoh; wait until FFXII comes out. :) You never know how reactions will change then!

I would wait till you gain a higher level before re-classing to another job. For example, you reached lvl 30 as a thief and you decided to do the Dragoon quest. When you re-class to a Dragoon, you will start to level 1 (you probably already know this so I apologize if I offended you) and you will keep half of the level of your last job (lv 15 thief)..that should, however, be suffice enough for you to go around and take huge amounts of damage and still get lots of XP when you level up.. I hope that answers your question. Theres a lot more that goes into it but I just wanted to give you the basic idea.

[Michael]

Uhm.

That's not how sub jobs work. Sub jobs are half of your MAIN job. So if you got thief to 30, then took dragoon, you would be a 1 dragoon, 1 thief. Your thief would level up with you, every other level, until 60. At that point it would fall behind. You would have a little more HP, and you would get the stat bonuses you would have gained at the level of your sub job. So at, say, 60/30, you have 60th dragoon stats, plus all of the bonus points added from level a 30 thief.

The way you explain it makes it sound like you'd be a level 1 dragoon with the stats of a 15 thief, meaning you'd start with like 200hp... doesn't work that way. Also, you made it sound like your sub job gets screwed over... like you'd have to max out TWO classes to effectively sub job. Nope, you only have to keep it at half of your main level. I don't know what they're raising the cap to, but for an example of how I'm doing it, I'm eventually going Dragoon / Samurai. I have samurai already (level 15), and I'll level him to 35 (half of 70), then I'll start with dragoon, and grind to 70. Thus, I would have a 70 dragoon / 35 samurai.

Also, of course a thief outdamages a warrior, like, everything outdamages a warrior. Warriors take the hits, not deal them. =p

[Michael]

Aside from the +$1 per character (which I don't know, I don't think it's that bad, given your one character can be anything you want, and you don't lose any work for changing, like you do in SWG.), FFXI costs as much as just about every other MMORPG out there. $13~15 is the standard price. I'm sure it's fairly safe to assume WoW will follow suit.

[shinsensaitoh]

The price will go down eventually in my opinion.

[Michael]

Actually, MMORPG online fees have gone up, and if they go anywhere, will most likely continue to go up.

[nchan]

Should I get it too? I don't play MMORG. The reason I am thinking about getting it is because my brother always play diablo 2 online. Hell I don't even play regular final fantasy games much. I just watch my brother and sister play them. I love the music and story aspects of it. The only final fantasy game I ever beat, with gameshark on, was FFX. Man! I feel once I purchase it, I shouldn't have to pay more to play it. but that still ain't much compare to ps2 users. they have to buy a hardrive, keyboard and a mouse. I wonder how many average ps2 users purchase FFXI the day it come out only to find that you need to purchase additional accessories and pay monthly to play it. But I still considering, maybe I should? first month is free right?

[cyber assassin]

ps2 players dont need a mouse or a keyboard but a keyboard comes in handy

[Zophar]

holy crap cyber, your a super high lvl
what server are you on?

[TAKEZO]

What do all of you think about this game???
I just recently bought the game and planning to play online with it. I just want to know what other people think of it. I saw a review of it in gamepro.com and it said it sucked. I'm really skeptic, so lemme know!

[GimpyBoy]

The game is absolutely amazing, and so is the forum we have dedicated to Final Fantasy. Which is where this thread is going. ;)

[!n|=3c+iOn]

i've been playing for the past week...

and i love the game...

it's very addicting...

[Upheaval]

Technical question guys. I just installed an ATi Radeon 9000 64MB graphics card on my cousin's PC. He has a P4 1.5Ghz and 256 SDRAM. The frame rate is steady enough, but we're still getting pixelation on the graphics and text (the edges aren't smooth enough). Just wanna know if this is normal for the specs he has or if we just need to tweak some settings. Thanks ^_^.

[!n|=3c+iOn]

maybe just tweek some of the settings...

the in game settings should be able to fix it...

press "-" and find the config part...

there you should find some more graphic settings...

[Aelice]

Argh! My copy hasn't arrived yet! *_* Gotta also kidnap my friend who has has a 966mhz upgrade for me, I dont think the game will run on my current 644mhz (minimum is 800).

But I've been stalking footage and info from websites, and it looks so great. :) I so can't wait.

[Upheaval]

Cool. We'll try that out and see if we could improve it a bit. Thanks ^_^.

[TAKEZO]

thnx and sorry at the same time ^_^
I'll remember to post in final fantasy section next time ^_^

[Alundra]

Alright, I'm planning n buying FFXi within the next week, but I would like to know the following things:

1. Is there a service fee to play the game?

2. I'm looking for a new graphics card, what it the BEST one that runs under 110$?

3. Is the game played so heavily that it suffers from lag like in RO?

4. How does the game handle polygon polulation on the horizon? In other words, pop up, or fade in?

And finally....

5. Is the story actually worth playing through, or is it just stuck in there for a loose sense of progression?

1. Yes, there is a service fee. It's 12.95/month and +1$ for every character, and another dollar if you want to play Tetra Master.

2. 110 is a small budged for a graphics card. In the way of ATI you could get a 9200 for about 108.00$ or you could get a GeForce FX series card but from what i've heard they're not great. They would run this game better than what you have now.

3. This game does not lag. The frames might skip but that is from your computer not being able to handle it. The servers get hardware updates and all that regularly.

4. um......I think pop up.

5. I'm not to sure about the story. Its a good addition but you don't realy have to do it...at least I don't think. You make the story progress by accepting missions from the guards around the palace. When finished or while doing these missions, the story progresses.

[GimpyBoy]

The story is actually looking pretty decent, I hope it continues to do so. ;)

And the draw distance in the game is pretty good, it's not very noticiable, but it does suffer a slight bit being that FFXI is made to play on the PS2 as well.

[Zophar]

oh and alundra, if you play, come check out my server,odin. I'll get you a World Pass.

[!n|=3c+iOn]

anyone looking to transfer?

my brother is planning on getting a world pass to ragnarok for his friend...

possibly in a couple day...

right now only one spot is being used...

if you want i can ask for some of the extra spots...

I would wait until the whole emigration thing is over. Right now what the servers are trying to achieve is to balance out the worlds. Too many people want to get into Ragnarok and each time someone buys a world pass to Ragnarok, it can be used up to 5x. Economy sucks right now in Ragnarok anyway.

[Aelice]

Between Taru Taru and Hume, which race is better for a WHM? *_* Taru Taru has more magic, but Hume has more HP.. I would have chosen an Elvaan WHM, but I know they have the second worst MP..

[Zophar]

Taru
You shouldn't be fighting as a white mage that much so the HP doesn't matter.

[Scarface]

You should go to Leviathan, alot of AN'ers are there.

and more are coming!

[Zophar]

me?
or the other person

[Aelice]

Now I'm tied between Odin and Leviathan. :P I don't get my new CPU until Saturday, so I have until then to decide. O_o

Originally posted by Aelice

I say go with Leviathan. There seems to be a lot of people from AN in there. As for me, I may end up staying in Ragnarok because I've already established my character there. Though if I do make another character, I might go to Leviathan.

[Aelice]

Yeah, but everyone from AN on Leviathan is 15+ by now. XD None of them want a midget female newbie Taru Taru WHM lagging behind them. :P I'll probably keep my Taru Taru on Odin, and make my warrior char on Lev.

[shinsensaitoh]

You can always solo till you hit level 10-15..Or you can do some mass PT with some other lower level characters.

[Scarface]

SSS, just move to Leviathan when they allow you too. Then I can team with someone who is actually good.

and for all you losers er uh beginners I have to level my sub class so I will have one low level job running around.

Leviathan........!!!!!!!!!!!!

:poses:

[shinsensaitoh]

I am hesitant to move my character there. We'll just have to wait and see~

[Scarface]

It'd be great, yer slapass lame Saitou whatever could team with a real Thief!

A Thief with lame witty remarks who steals shoes.

and then of course Gimps there...as well as some others.

[Overbite]

I will be in leviathian soon. i know that makes everyone wanna join leviathan now :D

[shinsensaitoh]

Nahh, I think I will stay loyal to Ragnarok for now. I have too many rl friends and other friends that I've made over there.

[Scarface]

just get them all to switch over!!!!!!!!!

AHAHAHAAaa...............no

Wolves of Vana'Diel has been around since the JP-importing days. We have both JP and NA players across Ragnarok. No way everyone would want to switch to Leviathan.

[Scarface]

I see how it is, I'm not good enough for you.................:bawling:

[shinsensaitoh]

Hey now, dont take it the wrong way! I've been thinking about making another chracter and go to leviathan. But I am going to need a world pass.

[!n|=3c+iOn]

i've been thinking about making a new character too...

possibly a black mage/summoner or something along that...

if you can get the pass ill make a character there...

[Aelice]

Make your black mage on Odin, !n|=3c+iOn! ^^ You can hang out with my white mage!

[!n|=3c+iOn]

hehe...

i could probably just do the good old make a character then reroll until i get to odin or leviathan...

only problem would be is that i would be poor for awhile...

[Aelice]

I'm new to the game.. :P Thought it would be fun to hang out with you when I start out, get some advice. ^.^ Though all the ANers are on Leviathan, you may be better off there. :P

[Zophar]

Aelice what level is your white mage?
Maybe if it is around lvl 9-12 we could party or something.

[Aelice]

I'm lvl 2 so far, but my computer is lagging BIG time (664mhz), so I may just wait until my new computer arrives in 2 weeks. *_* I'm not worried about wasting the trial month, because the game itself was a gift, and it's not very fun to attempt to fight something and scream when the lag slaughters my adorable Taru Taru. :P When I catch up to you, I'll hang out. ^^ All my friends are warriors/melee-ers, so I became a WHM to help them eventually. ^_^

Isn't Rainey also a WHM? :P Find her in the meantime, while I wait for my sexy new computer to arrive.

[Zophar]

Rainey....?? :???:
sexy computer :lol:

so, after taking a break from the game I finally went back on. I got my arse kicked right before I left the Tombs i got killed. Not the mouse bat part but the goblin tinkerer and butchers and all them.
Its good to be back

server?

[shinsensaitoh]

I decided to just hang out today at San d'Oria and I ran into a little girl at the port. Then a cut-scene showed and there was a thief called "esca" thats causing trouble. I tried to chase after Esca after being asked to do so. I asked all the other NPC's and they lead me to Ronparre's gate. After that, I cant find her anymore. Does anyone here know where I could find her?

[Overbite]

i know!

there's gonna be a little tower thing out in the woods. its on the west side of the map as soon as you go outside the way they told you. shes in that little tower.

but the bad thing is i never figured out how to get the item back. i talked to her and she said "who are you? go away!" and thats it...

Thanks SRT, and I think I know how to get it back.

Remember that little girl at the port of San d'Oria? Well if you talk to her again, she will give you an eagle button. I believe it belongs to Esca (the thief), if you give it back to her, she might give you the item back. I havent tried this, but I will try it as soon as I log back in.

Thanks again SRT!

SRT:

Ok, I was right. Talk to this girl named Miene and she will give you the Eagle Button . THen head for the tower on the West at West Ronfaure and trade it with Esca the thief. She will give you the glasses back and then go back to the Knight back at the Port San d'Oria.

I'm now playing Final Fantasy XI online,

In only one week span of playing, I checked my playtime.
It said that I had 69 hours, 35 mins, 25 secs.

That' practically 70 hours of FFXI in one week. Which averages out to 10 hours a day.

But taht's only cause it was Thanksgiving week, and I had most of those days off, excpet weekeds, I still had to work. It'll probaaly be closer to 30 hours per week now that everythign is back in motion. Less time for games... Doh.

LOL! Quick question! If I make a second character, is it possible to have him in another world? (Like Odin or Leviathan?) Or would he appear in Ragnarok too?

<-- idiot. *_*

*waits impatiently for her new PC to arrive in 3 days*

[GimpyBoy]

The people on the server you want to go to have to buy you a world pass. Then you can create a character on another server.

Also, I've discovered having more that one character isn't really worth it, since you'll just lose time that you could be using to stay around the same level as your friends.

The only reason I have a secondary character now is as a mule. ;)

[Scarface]

I told you it was a waste.

So, you get to hold a little bit more items or something, big whup.

and Leviathan sucks Taru poop.

[GimpyBoy]

Liar. Leviathan rocks. And actually I use my mule quite a bit. I can sell 14 items simultaniously, and I can store 100 items in the bank, and 25 on his person.

So there. :P

[!n|=3c+iOn]

anyone else think they should have equipment in a different category?

instead of it wasting item space...

they should also raise the amount of things you can sell at the ah...

[Aelice]

O_O Man, I shouldn't have told people I plan to be a WHM. ^^; I have 3 WPs waiting in my inbox; One to Odin, One to Alexander, One to Ragnarok..

Oh, wait, and a fourth to Fairy. X_X

*waves a fist* At least I have 3 days to decide.. and by then I should hopefully figure out if I want to be a hume or Taru Taru WHM. :P

Taru Taru = Cute, more MP.
Hume Male = Sexy, more HP.

[shinsensaitoh]

Aelice,

I will leave it up to you wherever you want to go. Dont worry about the gil, I have a few thousand laying around plus my mog is holding a few thousand more (I think I make a better businessman than an adventurer). Hey, but at least you'll have a choice of three great servers right?

[Aelice]

Choices are good. ^^ Everyone's really uber nice. People keep spreading rumors that FFXI NA fans are rude, but the ones I've come across are awesome. O_o

Oy, rangers look fun, but do they really have to pay for ammunition? Ouch!

[shinsensaitoh]

Aelice,

Some are snobbish, especially the NA gamers that has imported the JP version months ago. A lot of them are very arrogant because they consider themselves as elite and they think they know it all. I am really cool, when I see someone getting killed by orcs or goblins (or any fiends in particular) I aggro them to me and let that adventuerer heal themselves. I also offer my services as a "Tank" to party's that needs a warrior. Yesterday, I helped out a WHM to do some quest outside town but he wasnt powerful enough to wander around. He's at least five levels down and I know that I wont get any experience out of it, but you know what? I'd rather make friends and alliances than to level up by myself. Cause you never know, these people that you help out will one day help you out when you least expect it. :)

[Scarface]

I also do this. I am stuck with a tough choice of waiting for a stupid friend to catch up to my level, so in the mean time I have helped out alot of people do silly quest and most of all help them collect sub quest items...............course having friends in the game is what this game is all about to me, as I would rather be in a party of trustable companions than solo over Vana'diel.

I agree on this 200%..Actually, I want to speak on a subject thats rarely talked about. I am having a hard time with the honor system here in Ragnarok. Now I dont mean to single out the NA players, but a lot of the NA gamers here are dicks when it comes to the honor system. What I am talking about is things like aggroing an obvious target that you've been after for quite some time. Just right now, I've been waiting around King Ronparrre's Tomb for three nights. I am looking for a particular quest item. Two nights and I got nothing. Then on the third night, I was waiting some more and out pops the Spook (the fiend that will drop this item). I was about to attack it but some ******* behind it aggroed it. Worst of all, he got the item that I've been looking for for the past two nights. This guy just laughed and took off. When Ragnarok was dominated by the JP players, they played it cool and whoever was there first was given the priority to defeat the spook. Id never see a JP gamer aggro a target that I've chased after or anyone else. But I guess a lot of NA players just dont have any consideration. I hope none of you AN residents are like this, cause I'd hate to play with the likes of those people..especially in my party. To me it jus means that they're just looking out for themselves and it doesnt matter who they stop on along the way. I aint like that!

[!n|=3c+iOn]

something like that happend to me not too long ago...

i was setting hp at outpost in valkurm dunes and a gob was after me...

i asked for help but the people just sat there watching me...

good thing my party came just in time...

[GimpyBoy]

Yes it's happened to me before as well, A friend and I were using the Palborough mines as a levelling spot. We were getting about 60 exp a kill and all of a sudden a group of 6 people come into our spot kill everything, and then wait around for stuff to spawn.

So eventually we started aggro stealing their targets because we had nothing left. They called us rude elitists and left.

People like that suck. If they had simply asked to have one side of the room while we had the other I would have been totally fine with it, but no they had to have the whole place...

Yeah, as a white mage I also heal as many people as I can that are in trouble and help them fight off tough mobs, regardless if I am in their party or not. I've helped many JP gamers even, to which I can only respond to them with the auto translating, I'm sorry I don't understand, and then a bow.

Some NA gamers are idiots, some are cool. I think it's probably the same in Japan.

(And I'm getting close to your level, so don't act like it's such a travesty Scar. Besides when you go Dragoon I'm going to have to wait 30 levels before you're back up to my level. So hush.)

[Scarface]

The one thing I can't stand is to call for help, I don't engage into fights I know I can't win. BUT, this one time when I felt like the fight was tipped towards the goblin I was fighting I asked for help from some San elves. They watched as my life slowly chipped away and made me waste my damn 2 hr.........

When the fight was over, I wanted to think that they were japanese players and just didn't understand me, but then they started speaking in english. Really pissed me off and what not.

But, that experience led me to play better in the game, because now I have a deep hatred for San elves, just like any Bastokian should have.:)

A paladin makes a great tank. I got up 3 levels in a few hours.

[Aelice]

Thanks for the clarification. ^_^

[Michael]

Heh. Should see Paladin/Warrior at level 30. Freaking insane. Three passive Defensive Bonuses. Sentinal. Protect II. Cure III. My friend was tanking IT mandragora and making them look easy, from a tanks side. He had over 200 defense. My monk only has like 120 at 31. Sure my Samurai has more like 125 at 27, still freaking insane.

In total I have 17~18 full days of /playtime. I don't leave my character logged on. It's all pure me actually sitting there and playing. Given that it's only been over a month, that's kinda sad, heh.

As a general update;

Name: Kanzen
World: Odin
Race: Elvaan
Job: 31 monk / 15 thief
Other jobs: 27 samurai, 17 thief, 10 warrior, 8 ranger, 5 ninja
Plans: mnk/thf to 59, upon 60, mnk/sam.
Rank: 4 (yay, completed Wednesday. We start Rank 5 Friday, but I'll be out seeing The Last Samurai. Friends + movie more important ;p)

And I've met some really annoying as christ japanese players as well as americans. Sure not as great in number, but regardless, I wanted to stab them in the face. My primary LS has to deal with a number of NA punks. :/ On Odin we're probably the strongest NA release LS as a whole. We get a lot of applicants who think they have what it takes, but just turn out to be idiots. I'm sure I sound elitist right now (which I am), but this isn't an elitist issue. We're talking about schuduled raids people have to prepare for.. and they decide to prepare an hour before. And sit there and constantly spam LS on how to do it, even after people tell them how. People who refuse to do anything on their own, they just sit there and make people tell them how to do everything. I mean christ, we had a 30 warrior who didn't know how to get to Windurst. Bleh. It's a hardcore/elitist guild. If you can't travel between the three basic cities on your own by level 30, we don't have time to teach you hours before a guild function and help you kill a dragon. :/

[continues reading as many posts as history will show]
Yeah, Rangers are expensive as hell. If you have any desire to use a gun (http://www.altimit.cc/ffxiss/gun01.jpg)(2 (http://www.altimit.cc/ffxiss/gun02.jpg)). That gun (thief usable, level 15 Bandit's gun) cost me 9000 gil. The ammo, bronze bullets, cost me 6000 gil for 99. It has 600 delay. That means it takes me a full minute to ready a shot and fire. It's terrible with thief, having half ranger bonus damage (I was subbing ranger at the time just to fool around, mostly so I had access to the Hot Shot weapon skill), and only 10 skill in it. If I ever did hit, even with Sharpshot up, I'd only do like 13 damage. I was doing near 100 everytime at level 16 with Sneak Attack + Fast Blade.. it wasn't worth it... but it looked so freaking sweet (as you can well see).

Elvaan WHM would not have been a bad choice. People here may agrue with me all they want because Elvaan have a crappy MP pool, but they have the highest mind attribute of all the races. They make very solid healers because of this. There are a lot of high level elvaan whms around, heh. And I personally hate the taru race. Just seeing one makes me want to cry-- then find the people specifically responsible for their creation and stab them mercilessly. Rage.

I'll have to send you a tell sometime, roronoa. Same server and all. ;p

[!n|=3c+iOn]

wow...

thats a lot of play time...

i've only logged about 3 days now i think...

i just got to lvl 14 for my war...

i'm planning to go back to thf when i get my sub job quest...

so ill be thf/war...

when i reach 30 i have no idea what i'll be yet...

my initial thought was to go nin...

but my mind keeps changing...

[Michael]

Ninja are really expensive as well. I mean, sure you could just be a ninja, not use any of your ninjutsu, and just dual wield katana... but what makes ninja stand apart from the other melee classes are their ninjutsu skills. And on Odin, the first scroll you get at level 9 sells for 15,000g. That's not including any of the powders to use it. Wehave a thf/nin who was 40+ in a couple weeks from release. He was dual wielding daggers, and had some of the ninjutsu skills, but he couldn't keep up with it. He wasn't able to stay on top of buying armor and weapons and still using ninjutsu powders. So he ended up changing his sub. He was 44, a thief, and still couldn't keep up with it. ;p

Ninja isn't really a good first adv job class. Well, unless you have the patience to use your thief to stand around in newbie areas farming stacks upon stacks of items to sell in the AH. When I raised money for the above mentioned gun and ammo, I went to Inner Horuhoto ruins as mnk/thf and killed bats for a few hours until I had 5 full stacks of them. They all sold for 2500 per. So I mean, it's not like you couldn't make money for it... you'd just have to pause from your normal playing. I wasted the two days before my Rank 4 raid finishing missions then farming items for cash.

I changed my mind on what I was doing after grinding a second character to near 30. I'd kill myself if I started yet another character grind to 30. So instead, I'm just going to stick with Monk, because it's what I know and love. I've always been quite attatched to the monk type classes, so I'll save my dragoon aspirations for rainy days when I can't stand the level grind of my monk.

[!n|=3c+iOn]

well getting that much money all the time doesn't sound too good...

i guess i'll have to wait and see when i get to 30 what i'll be...

[cbfan]

I may get this for Christmas, but I think that finding a group of people to play that I enjoy may be a difficult/akward task. I hear a lot of complaining about World Passes to play with friends; won't be a problem for me since none of my friends play, so I'm kinda over that. :lol:
Still, sometimes it's too damn tempting to resist......Must stop looking at jaw dropping screenshots.....:drool:

[!n|=3c+iOn]

yeah its a great game...

its not hard to make friends...

cause you usually see the same ppl on everyday...

I might be quitting soon.
Leveling up takes to long, i meet idiot people and it kinda gets repatative. My free trial isn't up so i might stop before then. Who knows.

I wish I can honestly tell you the info about the game..But even as a FFXI gamer myself, I dont know all the details but the basics. However, if you dont mind browsing through this site (http://www.ffxionline.com) , it will surely help you with just about any information that need.

Funny, I actually ran into this same problem at the same place!! Btw, just in case you didnt know, the Spook will appear usually 2x a night (once around 8pm and again around midnight).

The very first time I came there, there was another person there already. Luckily it was just the two of us at the tomb however (since usually there's plenty more). I asked him if he was waiting for the Spook to appear, and he said yes; so when the first Spook appeared, I let him have it and it dropped the item he wanted. He thanked me and "let" me have the second Spook. Seemed fine to me, although with my luck I didnt get the item. Now, anytime since then I've revisited the tomb during the hours that the Spook's supposed to spawn, there's always several guys waiting there and its a contest of who can draw aggro fastest (and some of them are damn fast at it!!) What's annoying is that the same quick-fingered guy tends to get all the chances instead of simply cooperating.

Worse, this problem IMO is not restrictive to NA players; I witnessed similar behavior from JP players; perhaps there used to be some civil order in these situations, but everyone who used to "play nice" is maybe forced to also be an *** b/c otherwise they won't get whatever it is they're after (an unfortunately vicious cycle)

oh well, btw, nobody here is on Kujata? :D Come on, it's a nice world!! :cheers:

[shinsensaitoh]

Hardcore,

I got sick of waiting for that damn spook. I took it out several times and It never gave me the item that I wanted...so I just bought the item at the AH *LOL*. I kno its cheating, but I rather complete it than be stuck with waiting for more spooks. But I heard night creatures give em out anyway. And you're right, even some of the JP players that I play with can be ***** a lot of times. Its getting better IMO. When adventurers becomes higher in level, they become nicer cause they need help :) thats how i See it. Kujata huh? sounds like a nice place...

The Warchief Vagtit is very tough if you're around Lv 15-20. I wouldnt recommend fighting this guy if you're below lv 15. Even at lv 15, you'd better have some WHM with ya. I actually went against the Vagtit by myself. However, I had two WHM helping me out. I used MithKabob to boost my stat, my 2HR (mighty strikes) and a 300 TP weapon ability. It gave me 120 XP at the end. I should have taken some pics, but I didnt get a chance to. I will do it again tonight, this time I will use FRAPS to take both photos and a video of it.

Actually, the item drop that the Spook gives for one of the quests I ended up buying at the AH as well. However, that item isn't what I was trying to get; the Spook also (albeit less often) drops another item (a mantle) which is the real reason you see that spot constantly hoarded (because people want to sell it for lots of gil at AH); so, unfortunately, buying that item at the AH kind of defeats the purpose of getting it for me :D

Guess I need to find another means of making non-trivial amounts of money in the game.

[Michael]

I 0wned Vagit. He's for a sub quest to Rank 3.

[Scarface]

SSS may I ask what lv you are?

XD soo close to drg myself!

:dies:

[Michael]

Heh. I want to play dragoon... but I don't. Beacause that means I'd have to start over at level one AGAIN. I've already grinded monk to 30, samurai to 30, and thief to 20. I still have to grind thief to 25. If I were to keep going with samurai, it'd be smarter for me to grind warrior higher for a sub job. Warrior is only level 10. Too much freaking grinding for me, I want to see more of the game. So dragoon is just going to kinda sit back. I'll consider dragoon later, but right now, I'm just going to focus on being a supah monk, something not all that often seen comparitively speaking~

[Scarface]

lol, I haven't really grinded anything yet.

Lv 26 thf and a lv 11 war...............

[Overbite]

i've kinda plodded along.

lvl 8 monk and lvl 6 thief.

but i have seen every major town and small towns. yaaaay! and i bought fireworks.

[Zophar]

I need people to party with!!!!!
how do you do it...get to those high levels like that?
I'm only lvl 12 and it seems hard. Most of this week has been slow for playing. Not much time to play :(

[HardCore]

how early you benefit from partying depends on your job (i.e. white mages will probably need to start partying earlier than monks)

as for finding parties, just use the 'search' option and the 'find member' sub-option under the 'party' menu; you should be able to find people pretty easily, and most are nice as far as indicating whether they'll party or not if you ask nicely

currently as I type this post, my character is lvl 19, my server is ragnarok. Just got through going through all that crap you need to gain teh subjob ability. The ghouls are really annoying.

[HardCore]

hah, then you're gonna have to deal with a fickle chocobo that's hesitant to eat once you're level 20 and doing the chocobo quest :D

[Zophar]

i heard that in the next patch, you're only going to have to be lvl 15 to ride a chocobo. True or not? That would be freakin awesome.

[Aelice]

You know what's missing from FFXI? Chocobo racing! :crush: They should slip that in when they also slip in PvP.

[Zophar]

Almost level 15. Good partying in the dunes is where it's at. And japanese freinds too. :D Aelice, did you odin character level up at all? And did you get your "sexy" computer yet?

so you still have to do the quest at 20 first...

[Zophar]

say what?
I don't really understand. what does your subjob matter?

Basically, no Chocobo License until level 20.

Once you have the License though, you're able to ride them at level 15, rather than having to be 20. The license isn't an end-all-be-all for chocobo riding, your active main job (right now) must be level 20, or you won't be able to rent a chocobo. It's about to be lowered to 15. But at 15, you'll only be able to rent chocobo from the three main kingdoms, not the crags, nor in Jeuno.

Almost level 15. Good partying in the dunes is where it's at. And japanese freinds too. :D Aelice, did you odin character level up at all? And did you get your "sexy" computer yet?

I'm lurking at my friend's house. XD He has a Taru on Kujata. I'll be playing myself in 1-3 days! *_* Tracking the computer like a mad-woman. I want my adorable homoerotic Elvaan boys. <3 I'll powerlevel my WHM as much as possible, but I hear starting as WHM is tough. ^^; Maybe being a hume WHM will make it easier on me.

Great, now Aelice-chan is going to make more yaoi fantasies of me since I'm going to be Elvann in FFXI. :(

Hahahaha! *read Aelice-chan's sig* My avvie is sexi and it's a girl. :D

[Wind]

I wanna be an Elvaan Red Mage.

Is that a choice.

RedMage is teh elitez!

[Aelice]

Arsie = wings are sexy! ^__~

AH! You have to cap your sexy Elvaan when you get him. *_* I want to be Elvaan.. but Elvaans don't make the best mages, and I want to be a pretty good WHM. (Settled for hume = Taru Taru are too insanely cyute to run around as 24/7) I know, Elvaan make mediocre WHM, but I also want to play BLM occassionally, and Elvaan make -crappy- BLM. X_X

Elvaans look SO hot in Red Mage AF. *_* Cant wait to see your chara when they get that armor, Wind!

Or perhaps you two will just settle for chasing the dragon.
