What's up with Max Level Monsters in Lower Level Areas?

[Iakothm]

Seriously... Did my mission 1-x and ran into a level 83 monster in Horototto Ruins and am finding they added these monsters to areas all over.... WHY? How am I supposed to get my quests done when I can't find max level characters to help?

You're supposed to already have multiple jobs at 99, duh.

Make 'em yourself, level WHM, SCH or RDM, use the Tome as I said etc...

[Daniel_Hatcher]

Before the raise past 75 high level monsters was in mission areas, after level 75 they still are.

Use SNK/INV, Prism/Silent or Circumspection (GoV Time.)

Is there any need to do the missions early level though? You do that and you find you can't do many because you reach one too high level. At level 99 though you can knock them all out at once.

Again, people said just level whm, rdm or sch (probably not sch, lol; that'd require sneak/invis in and of itself).
All you have to do is reach lvl 25, get the scrolls for sneak/invis (don't know the exact price but should be fairly cheap; available on AH and from npcs), then you're set. You can reach lvl 25 in one average-lasting sitting, soloing 1-10 then 10-25 in gusgen.

As to handling truesight/sound mobs... same way you're gonna have to deal with them the rest of the game: avoid them. There's plenty of times in the game where you're going to need to know how to avoid truesight/sound mobs, it's a matter of patience avoiding them.

Oh, and here's the easy answer:
1) Join a friendly linkshell
2) Make friends with one of them that has sneak/invis
3) ???
4) Profit!!!

Jobs more associated with San d'Oria than Windurst.

or sch

An expansion-pack job for a core-game mission.

Five levels higher than the rank's CP gear.

10-25 in gusgen.

Nowhere near Windurst.

This is why we can't have nice things.

I'm serious. When all the playerbase cares about is getting past the "fluff" to endgame, the devs won't give us anything but endgame.
