A lot has changed in XI since I last played last year. Right when I quit they was about to bring the level cap up to 80 I think, can't exactly remember. But anyways, a lot has changed. My highest job is a 65 Dancer I think, I know I was about to do the 2nd level break. Any really big significant changes I should know about? I've been trying to read up but seems like so much has changed. Is dynamis and sky worth doing anymore? What all level limits has been took away? I think COP has no limit now. Any info would greatly help ^_^
Been out of the loop for too long ><

Nothing in CoP ZM or rank missions is capped anymore, level cap is 90, exp parties don't exist anymore (you go to abyssea and you'll be level 90 in a few hours) Sky is dead Dynamis is rarely done..
Abyssea
that's about all you'll need to know -

1) Level 65 is limit break 4 (though that's not a change).
2) You're not alone, I quit 2 weeks after the cap increase to 80. Returning soon as servers are up.
3) Abyssea
4) Abyssea
5) Level Cap is 90
6) Abyssea
7) Everything has or is going to get an easy button/change made to it it seems
8-Infinity) Abyssea -

pretty much everything that used to be a challenge in the game is no longer there, so welcome to the new FFXI

You'll need merits, kindread seals and kindread crests for the 75+ limits.

You get double the xp from normal mobs now (non abyssea areas), and you can spam FOV pages back to back now too (no more waiting for new gameday to repeat for the xp, but you still only get the gil/tabs reward once per day). Skillups have increased dramatically--can now skillup on mobs DC to your current skill cap level, and if the Martial Master Kupower is up, they come very steady now--even Parry and Guard improved.
You can effectively solo/lowman your way to to 30 in just 3 or 4 spots via FOV spamming, then leech your way via abyssea provided you are able to get your limit breaks unlocked. Unless you want to stay in aby areas and grab skillups and farm drops along the way. I did it the old way for all but 1 job, and it will still take a few weeks to a month to hit 75 the old way, but it is considerably better in comparison. -

lol.. never really thought about it, but exp'ing now does kinda feel like you're on auto-pilot now... glad I'm almost done with it myself...11 more levels worth to cap off a handful of jobs so they are in auto-merit mode and I can start to actually PLAY the game again.

Well if leveling is so easy now, maybe I can get some jobs up in lvl and start to do some stuff in the game. Like ranks and finish up some of the expansion packs. I haven't finished any and I"m only rank 5 in sandy. Anything special u have to do to get to abyssea? I know it's an add-on so I gotta get that.

03-23-2011, 11:07 AMTsukino_Kaji
Oh yeah, those level capped missions(3 something right?) and 5 whatever are now uncapped.
-

Guess I better start researching abyssea before I start playing again. And finding help to do the Limit break I need :D
