Up the lvl to enter abyssea to 70 PLEASE

I know you don't now, but I was originally told that before you got access to the Abyssea missions you had to be on the cat sith mission or higher. Maybe the guy who told me that either didn't have a clue himself or was referring to something else.

Getting to the Cait Sith mission in WotG doesn't require you to fight anything either, nor do you need to be of a specific minimum level.

They were probably talking about Waste of Event.

LOL!!!! You referring to Walk of Echoes right? I was warned to stay away from that like it was the plague. Random strangers wandering in and looting on everything everyone else worked for, [No thanks].

I can't believe I've never heard this before. So fitting!

I think you were misinformed on a lot of things by your "random strangers" friend on Abyssea info, as well as Walk of Echoes, it is never a waste of events since you get tons of craps plus some very good ones that still sell millions on AH - which pretty much also apply to Voidwatch events. It is also an alternate way to skill ups beside Besieged. The reason only japan players do this is because it takes a few extra steps to get there and most western players just too lazy to do that. Newly revamped Walk of Echoes is a lot more fun.

I've burned a few jobs up through Abyssea and I'm just as good at those jobs as the ones I did the old school way before Abyssea. The reason why, I did research on each job after I burned it and before I played it. Remember the skill of the player is the main factor. If you have a bad player it doesn't matter if you grind or burn.

he isn't saying that... but tbh if u only read up on a job... you just mimic what u read... learning by doing is in some cases better and shows ur less lazy. But what he saying is all the "new school" ppl don;t get is we vets have to teach ppl @ cap what their jobs skills do. which barely happen till leeching was "ok" There is more to rpg/mmorpg then lvl cap and endgame. I seen level 50s with out a sub job... as a vet player i find that silly. I see cap blue mages w/o blue magic spells, i see that as weak. @ 99 in good gear if ur weapon skill is low you still are worthless all lvl does is slightly raise stats att and def.

I don't see a point in changing it - but by all means if you want to pt for 6+ hours and gain 2 levels go or it . I don't think anyone will stop you o/

this is was never the case, and they raised exp amounts.
You prob just had bad parties with ppl who back then got away with leeching before wiki was out.

Yes, it very much was the case. It was a very rare party you could join and gain more than a couple levels in it, in more than a few you could sometimes walk away with a lower level than what you went in with. This, of course, was after flagging/building a party for hours on.

And that was only if you were on one of maybe five jobs.

I'm still waiting for the GOD adherents to explain how this was more preferable to current party system.

Funnily enough it was a western American who told me all this too, that FFXIV was so badly broken that SE threw a carrot to the players to stop them from storming off so they dropped the level entry in FFXI to Abyssea from 75 to 30 and made the books repeatable, and to avoid WoE. Guess I'll start joining them and wave 2 virtual fingers in his direction.

Go do WoE around 8am-12pm ish EST time, which is nite time in Japan, that's where most people are there or during weekends. Its a great source of income for some people so they make sure no one else bother to do it so that not to crash the market since a lot of void watch items are crashing down in price due to market flooding.
