    Yeah you can ask for high level help but that's my complaint. I don't want to have to ask someone who is max level for help. I would like to be able to handle the mission with people my level or by myself.
    Why is 30k gil so hard to obtain!? Farm Wild Onions, Silk Thread, or Beehive Chips, how lazy cab you POSSIBLY be!? Ive never seen as lazy people as Im seeing post here. Do the work, get the items you need, and shut up about it. No one cares about how hard it is for you to do something that should take 20 minutes. You think its unfair? No one cares about that either.
    Just quit now, you sound like you are going to be a terrible high level.

    To the person who said you shouldnt have to use the auction house to complete missions. Oh Im sorry, is this your game now? Do what you have to do, what good does whining about it do?
    Im not even going to comment on how retarded bring "lore" into ANY conversation is. Grow up

    Why should lining someone else's pockets be a requirement?

    Alternatively, why shouldn't he (hypothetically) buy gil from an RMT if the game is so gil-centric?

    You apparently care enough to post.

    Just quit now, you sound like you are going to be a terrible high level.
    With charming examples of the playerbase like you offering sage advice to new players like "Bend over like I did," it's no wonder the game is foundering.

    FFXI: come for the grind, stay for the hazing!

    Because that's how the game works.

    Said it already, a lot of them are in locations that require you to drop invis to advance, making it useless.

    Fair enough, but all this bitching is cray-cray. Go play the game back in 2005 and see how "convenient" it was for us to obtain the Parchment for the first limit break.
    Such lazy lazy players, I dont even think I want you higher level, polluting my parties.

    Except that your little chicken-and-egg problem only goes back to '02.

    Kinda hard to have a level anything SMN without having something else 30+.

    It is still possible to find enjoyment in FFXI without having to rely on bragging and epeen, despite the devs' best efforts.

    At any rate, job and level are no indication of the number of times I've gone through these core-game missions with new players, level sync'd to them more often than not. If anyone doesn't know what they're talking about here, it's someone who hasn't truly seen the outside of endgame in years.

    I think people are missing the part about how a full party of players at the appropriate level to do these missions has no chance to survive if they get aggro. I don't think the OP would have a problem if the the mobs checked IT, but a low IT that a full party could manage. Later on in the windy mission line, it is required to go to the 3-mage gate. There are 80+ level goblins on the way, impossible to handle if you are mixing up leveling with missions. Level to 99, then do it should never be the answer.

    The same thing with heading to Fei Yin for 5-1. Since this used to be a 50 cap, it is reasonable to assume that regular mobs on the path to the BCNM should be killable by a party of level 50's. But the room full of ghosts on the way there would once again be certain death if someone got aggro at that level.
