[Whippet]

Hi my name is Whippet and I just started 3 days ago currently BLM11 planning to go WHM in the future.

It's just that I don,t know where to start, it seems there is so much to do.

Even though i'm new feel free to tell me and i'll answer to chat if i'm able to

[Karbuncle]

Hi! I'll give you a little guidance then!

--------------------------------------------


First things first, You say you want to be WHM! So you'll need some proper sub jobs! I suggest taking BLM to 18, Then unlocking your Support job, Quest found here: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Elder_Memories

After unlocking your Support job, I recommend Leveling WHM to ~30 and unlocking SCH! SCH is a very useful support job for WHM in a lot of situations, Quest here: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/A_Little_Knowledge

After unlocking SCH, take it to level 45, Then RDM to 45, and BLM to 45, Then you'll have the 3 best WHM subjobs leveled and Ready. Now you'll want to try and take WHM to 75~90, whichever you feel comfortable with. This should be easy for you.

-------------------------------------------

Afterwards you want to focus on Missions! I suggest starting with "The Rise of the Zilart", Missions found here: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Ca...ilart_Missions.

These Missions are pretty basic, and give you access to Ru'Aun Gardens, commonly known as "Sky", while not a big part of endgame, its nice to have access for when its needed. Plus, it gives you access to Divine Might rewards.

After that, i Suggest moving on to Chains of Promathia. Missions here: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Ca...athia_Missions. These are also much simpler these days thanks to being uncapped, All of this will give you access to the area referred to as "Sea". While like Sky, not used as often, its still nice to have access too. Plus CoP Rings are regarded as some of the best reward rings. (Namely, Rajas Ring)

After that You'll want to look into Abyssea, gather you Empyrean +1/+2 Armor for WHM, which is actually rather easy when it comes down to it, just takes time and dedication!

After that pick your goals where you see them!

Hey Thanks a lot!

[Karbuncle]

Its np!

Just don't become discouraged, Its a difficult journey, but the game is fun if you can get some friends. Like all games its better with company.

Just need LS lol

[Karbuncle]

Best way to find a Social LS is to shout for one in port jeuno, Just don't spam up the place.

Or shout in a start city area with Outpost NPCs, I think its Bastok Mines for bastok, North Sand. for Sandy, and IDK where for Windurst, I think its Waters?

The Outpost NPCs usually have people coming/going all the time, and Port Jeuno is just the main "hub". Could also use the "/yell" channel for it too.

Finding a good LS is difficult, social or not, but you'll get one if you look. Another good way is to ask people who you exp with, a lot of new players generally form LS's early on, so you can probably find a pretty good social LS by asking people you exp with.

I<m lv 12 BLM and i can<t do squat, i heard to go in King tomb to lv but anywhere i go i find goblins that almost one shot me

[Karbuncle]

Level 12? I suggest just going to La'Theine/Konschtat/Tahrongi and Leveling there until you're ~15 or so and can safely solo in Valkurm/Buburimbu.

I haven't checked FoV Zones lately, or GoV zones... try here: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Field_Manual Look for mobs around 10~12 to exp on, and you can try doing a page.

You can also turn on your Party flag and hope for an invite to Valkurm Dunes.

Either way, Soloing on BLM can be pretty easy if you let it, I suggest trying to learn Solo guides too like this http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Black_Mage_Solo_Guide

Also, Try looking up mobs of the "Worm" Family, You can DoT and nuke them safely, even ones as high as VT~ with time. Just takes time/practice and a little familiarity with mobs that might be "too high".

[Whippet]

How do you solo as WHM. They dont seem to get any Offensive spells

[Karbuncle]

Melee really, pick up a Club/Hammer/Staff and wack mobs, Cure yourself to stay alive, and use Dia once per mob (It lowers the mobs defense).

Its a bit difficult but its not too hard.
