Final Fantasy XI 360 Beta

We'll see. Although I would like around 2 adv. jobs on the go at once.

Deff PAL/WAR + either NIN/WAR or SAM/WAR (until SAM 30, then switch to DRG/SAM)

When the game goes retail I'm also looking at starting a WHM/BLM combo. The reason I chose Hume was for the all-rounded stats for attack/tank/magic and meant I wouldn't be limited when choosing jobs.

lvl.27 in the Y.Jungle with 2K TNL. Our party leader last night ignored the fact of the lvl gap exp penalty. We were getting 40-60 exp per little plant dude.

At lvl 28 should I stay at the entrance or venture out on Choco to where I came to meet you Tickle?

Last night was great this time. Was in the dunes with my L22 WAR and with my friend who was L26WAR/L13WHM. The small window when ghouls appear is a bit crappy but it only took 4 ghouls before I finally got the skull and nearly fainted with excitement. Good thing I didn't have to lot for it toom since I only scored a measly 7 points.

So I'm already a L22WAR/L5WHM. I was suprised on how fast it was leveling up with my WHM, that WAR sub job really helped. I had leveled my hand to hand with my WAR before to L30, so my WHM was pummelling hares, worms and bats left right and center, I could even take on tough targets. So I'm in the process of casting like a madman to get my magic skills up too, so alot of strangers in Ronfaure will be getting healed tonight.

WAR/WHM makes baby jesus cry.

[angelx]

hehe yeah I ve been told many times they dont compliment each other but to add healing to a warrior does seem so tempting

[CFS Dubois]

Don't worry, its strictly short term. Its NIN/WAR for the long term.

WAR/WHM

It is certainly not a good combination as far as getting party invites but you play the game to have fun and figure things out so fair play for trying something you feel may work for you at the Level you are.

Personally when leveling low level melee jobs I generally buy a couple of stacks of Garlic Crackers (from the Tenshodo Merchant in Lower Jeuno 3-4gil each) and they give HP Regeneration While Healing +6 for 3mins which greatly reduce the downtime between mobs while enabling you the benefits of a more melee favorable sub job.

I'm getting pissed off with this now - no WHMs in Kahzam and only WARs that don't voke resulting in 2x death for me and -1,000exp! yay!!

I had a LVL.26 BRD in a party last night but the other two WARs were afraid of voking the mob, therefore the BRD died and ****ed off

CBA sat staring at a 'seeking party' avatar for another night.

This seems to be commonplace around the 20s-mid 40s sadly. You will spend a fair bit of time usually just sat waiting for an invite depending on your job - mages and tanks are often snapped up fast with everything else waiting.

A good time killer is to level a craft while waiting, or if gil is a problem, most areas tend to have patches of water to fish at - fishing costs minimal amounts of gil and can become quite profitable easily.

Ive just hit lvl 11 with my drk night and Valkrum seems to be full of whms and rdms at the moment. Also looks like finally its not going to be under beastman control for the first time in 2 weeks. Is this a sign of the n00bs getting fed up and leaving? lets hope so!

[CFS Dubois]

Its probably people partying up and spending night after night searching for those damned skulls. Oh, and not dying in the process too.

I've having a ball being a WHM atm and up to level 9 now. Makes a change using magic instead of just hacking up things all the time. Can't wait till I get to L11 and get that all important Cure II spell, then the undead will be big trouble.

After thats done, I think I'll attempt the dangerous journey through Jugner Forest and Batallia downs to Jeauno and get my chocobo licence. Hopefully I'll be able to sneak through without agro'ing too many mobs. But first I need to make a visit to Dangruf Wadi to get some wildgrass for the chocobo quest.

Mucho progress - I've been lazy this weekend too...

Lvl'd WAR to 33 only to de-level when clearing Sea Serpent grotto for SAM quest items in Norg and also on soloing the PLD quest...

Lvl'd WHM to 4 (with maxed healing) and then subbed it under PLD (which is currently lvl7). I'll leave that until PLD 10 then change back to PLD/WAR.

I'm on a mission of killing as many mobs as poss for CP, which I intend to save up until PLD 30. I've kept all my chainmail also so I'll be sorted for armour until then. Hopefully the dunes will be under some sort of control by the time I reach 10-12 (tonight) then I'll be able to easily catch signet for dunes crystal drops and more conquest.

Tickle, I fancy carrying out a few of the 6-man party missions that the signet NPC dishes out when I reach 20-25, if you're up for it let me know.

This PLD is ace, doubt it's gonna take as long to find a party now. This guy can take HATE and stands there like a hate magnet.

[dcmk]

Someone help pleasem just get the basics of the objective - as can see complete newb here. I have literally just started it put a marker on the map, then dissapeared went round there and nothing - at least thing it was right spot..mm.

then on wandering got two missions, but what exactly supposed to be doing, i have no idea - spoke someone told me go through rapelle gate(sp) - shed some light please.

Yeah im up for that matey sounds good. I also kept my lvl 25 plus gear for when i get back up to that lvl. Used 2k of my points to buy some lvl ten gear for my drk. I have 1k left so hopin the dunes are bk in control so i can get some more points. Get some cheap lvl 30 gear when i hit it.

spent a good evening wasteing my time installing this, its not very user freindley at all is it, I started at the big castle bit and i got told to go someware never got there so wanderd about not knowing what the hell to do, asked a few people got called a n00b (most helpfull) so went alone and had a bit of an explore and just tried to pick up some hints from the npc's.

I found the mog house then went back to the gates to see if i could retrace where i was suposed to be going, a training mission or some sort of recap on what your suposed to be doing would of been nice.

stumbled over to a gaurd and found i could do quests Went outside on a quest and killed some ding bats and a worm and i just wonderd why i was even doing this there seemed to be lots of other people doign this though what i have to ask is what have these poor rabits and worms ever done to us to desever to be clubbed to death .

This game has non of the charm of the offline games, and looks absolutley terrible, slow jerkey and graphics that would look dated on a playstation 2

So then should i unistall this or can anyone fill me in on what im suposed to be doing, i am willing to give it a second chance but dont really want to wander around aimlessley not knowing if im doing the right thing

[djtickle]

You need to stick with it mate, give it a good few hours to get started.
