Abyssea + 1 seal system revamp/suggestions.

Didn't know about those.. Can fresh 99 solo them?

Yes.

Are you familiar with campaign? Colonization reives are a lot like them in that you can go participate on your own, but difficult to solo. In other words, many soloers can do it, one soloer can't, or it takes a really really... really long time.

And then there's Support reives.

Spend 60 tags (20 3*tag repeats) of Support: Ceizak Battlegrounds. Doing this will get you enough bayld for your first armor piece or two. This part takes about 2 days to do. The reason is because tags take time to recharge, and after you deplete the 15 you have, you'll need 5 more and that takes about 2 days.

And then, when you can do Support: Foret de Hennetiel, you can and should do the quest "I'm on a boat" at the same time. I'm on a boat. since you'll be walking out there anyway. Make certain that you don't take any waypoints before completing "I'm on a boat.". There's a waypoint and station administrator on most of the islands in the zone. Any but the first will work for the turn-in for Support: Foret.

This is crappy art depicting the basically fastest path there. There's clearly a path that looks faster, but there's typically a reive in the way.

First, follow this path through Ceizak to Sih Gates:

And then, through Sih Gates to Foret:

And finally, once that's done, you need to do "I'm on a boat" and take your package to any of the station administrators besides the one at the island you arrive on.

I prefer this path once "I'm on a boat" is done.

I'm not sure they were talking about rieves or anything in Adoulin when they were asking about soloing.

Specifically says from Adoulin, and its possible to do quests solo for all of the Bayld you need, just much more time taking if you do not do Reives.

Interesting... Might be my salvation to this game since i realized that there are no more Abyssea dedicated Linkshells in FFXI any more.

Well in all honesty Abyssea does not require a linkshell anymore, shouting can often lead to success if others are interested, or if you can make some good friends willing to help you out with it. Almost everything in Abyssea can be done with a party at most, or a duo/trio of decent players, so it should not be all to bad to catch up through that with some help. That is, of course, provided you can get said help, its not as easy as it sounds sadly but if you can its easy.

I know but that isn't what this thread is about. If one read that post and kept in mind of what this thread is about it's easy to think they were talking about Abbysea and not Adoulin. A new 99 who might not have done anything but xp inside might not be able to solo things for seals. Or get the ones they want thus the birth of this thread as an idea on how to help with that. Not if rieves are soloable or not. Nor if someone should go from the 78 gear straight to the 99 bayld basic gear.

A new 99 should start working on their bayld immediately, and while the karieyh, etc gear is mostly meh (it was neat for like a week there), it is better than most +1 and a chunk of +2 (job/set-bonus/piece stats dependant). Players should still get the +2, but having this gear will allow them to do that better.

This doesn't at all fix the problems with abyssea being a ghost town, but it helps players when they must solo their abyssea stuff, and helps them contribute more when they're in a group.

A naked lv1 can do this, so long as there's no pre-requisitive level. Lowest level I've done it on is 59.

Just did it on 30 Corsair. Lowest job. I got the same 6k exp and bayld that my 99s get.

Question: Why are we talking about SoA in an aby thread? O_o


Back on topic since people kept talking about the whole +2 integration.

I agree now that it could be put into the system as well, though they can't be obtained via battle trophies straight out. Instead you trade seals to get +2 items.

3 seals = 1 +2 item. However the 3 seals have to be the same (To make it easier for the dev's if they ever incorporate this into the game which more than likely they won't despite the thoughts put out by the community.)

Because, the gear is relevant to newbie players, and a lot farther than that. Newbie players, who are likely interested in this thread, need to know that have immediate good options if they are left to just soloing/shouting for groups.

Would you rather someone show up in full perle or full Karieyh?

I don't think +2 should be implemented. There's a difference between giving people a leg-up, and making things too easy. +1 is enough.
