Returning Player, pleased to meet you

thanks for all the answers everyone.i have another quick questions.
when i've still been playing actively, the only seals i remember have been kindred seals and beastmen seals.
but now there seems to be another battlefield that i can access with crest/high crest and sacred crest seals.
are there any good treasures to get in there or should i exchange my crests for regular beastmen or kindred seals?
i've been planning to do some early bird catches the wyrm for fafnir pops, and maybe work some other stuff, but i'm not sure if it's worth it.

The raise of the level cap with Abyssea resulted in 3-4 new types of seals/crests to gain access to battlefields above level 75. The highest tier of seal now gives orbs to do battles for upgrade items for artiface and relic armor, and the battlefields are level 99-119 versions of older battlefields.

there are 2 things you need to do: Trust Intuitive and Records of Eminence.

Trust is the new NPC battle system were you can summon 3 game characters like trion and shantotto to your side. Big improvements on the Adv. Fellow AI.

Records of Eminence is a new Quest system, and it gives special points called Sparks that can be used to buy great universal 117 gear and weapons. Quick and easy way to catch up to the rest of the game, MASSIVE XP and quick and easy ENDGAME WORTHY GEAR.

Also I agree that FFXIclopedia is a vast improvement over BG in terms of being user friendly, BG may be quicker on the new updates and "some" endgame, but it is severed and jagged when it comes to information while FFXIclopedia is much more comprehensive with info being better organized either on a single page or a smaller number of pages with ordered page link sections.

Oh and to the new seals, just collect everything and turn them in, Sacred are used for some new endgame armor called "Reforged" that are basically AF4 and 5 (after AF[1], Relic[2], and Empyrean[3]) but these require endgame equipment to even hope to survive the BCNMs, so you need to get your Sparks gear first, quick-simple-and solidly GOOD gear

i have a question concerning the skirmish battles and wildskeeper reives.
a friend and i spend our time duoing yorcia weald currently (torso 2-4 seems to work well on our setup), we're working on our ilvl 119 skirmish armor atm, but we feel like it's taking a bit longer to get enough leobondopt wings to exchange them for pulchridopt wings and buy the KI to upgrade the NQ armor to +1.

we haven't tried Ra'Kaznar yet, i also have a hard time finding informations on this skirmish, the only thing i know is that it's a bit harder than yorcia.Is that skirmish possible to duo for a DNC & RMD?
Also, what exactly are alluvion skirmishes? i see that you can get ilvl 119 weapons and augment stones there, but i wonder if they are duoable at all.

Another question would be about the wildskeeper reives.so far i have done 3 different of them (ceizak, morimar & marjami).are those KI's you get at the end of the fight simply for reja to recognize the kill and sell you rewards for them, or am i mistaking something here?

Old content is soloable. Current content still needs a group. Get to max level and do things in Adoulin and you will need a group. They just made lower level gameplay soloable because of how top-heavy the game got before Abyssea, and so now you don't have to spend months with a group grinding levels to be able to join events with the rest of the server. You spend about a week gridning levels and then you can teleport to events from the main cities.
