Solo to 99?

[Runespider]

Friend is thinking to start, won't be on my server but he asked and I'm not familiar with current ffxi.


Can you solo all the level cap quests now?

[Alhanelem]

other than the last one you were always able to; and using trust you can solo the last one now.

All LB5 fights except GEO and RUN allow Trusts now. All limit breaks are soloable, and leveling is soloable. It maybe takes 48 hours to get to level 99 the first time now. If he starts this month, he can get the awesome +150% EXP ring with infinite charges, and a 2 hour reuse period.

48 hours... Are you serious? totally solo or is that abyssea leeching?

Solo with trusts and exp ring, i can see 48 hours of played time (so if you play 48 hours straight probably)

You don't need abyssea, whether legit or leeching, for the best exp anymore. You can exp plenty fast just about anywhere.

I'm sorry to say but that may not be true for a fresh starting from zero char.

you still have to do some questing, farming and all of the LB for the first time.

A fresh experienced player playing NON STOP could make it in 3-4 days.
But a Fresh regular semi-inexperienced player i honestly don't think so.

here's why.

First you need to be on magicite mission (nation) to be able to do the LB3 and that one sure takes time to do, because a fresh Cahr need to unlock all those Traveling points (home points and survival guides)

And that one it does takes some time, specially for a new player.

Second, you need to do some farming in some of the LB quests, (seals-testimonies)
And if YOU HAVEN'T DONE THE RHAPSODIES you will face Matt ALONE and that one may take time to beat depending on the job you use.

the xp gain it sure is much better now with the xp boost and the ring, but many players that claim thousands upon thousands of xp, already have the needed KI or TRUSTS to gain that insane XP
A new char doesn't.

So realistically speaking i think a week will take you to 99 counting all the unlocking you need to do and playing for about 4-7 hrs a day.

48 hrs would have be nos stop ( no sleeping no eating and everything needed already unlocked and i say MAYBE )

Matt really isn't hard on any job anymore. It's more of a challenge if you try to do it at the earliest possible moment, but if you wait until you're capped to do it, it's not hard. Never has been. RDM was hard, but that was nerfed years ago.

There are plenty of leveling guides out there, and new ones being made with the current changes. 48 hours of gameplay to level to 99, including limit breaks is reasonable. If you have a guide listing the necessities (subjob, unlocking transportation, missions needed to progress, what the Limit Breaks are, and a pack of maps) then it's really easy to follow along. You only generally have to go to a zone once, because of teleports, and as long as you are reading your map and clicking the crystals and books, you can get back easily. Records of Eminence also provides a lot of pointers on where to go, and a ton of EXP as a first-time player. Adoulin gives a ton of EXP if you unlock it early to do Coalition Assignments. Even without the +120% EXP from the anniversary event Trust, furniture item, and Rhapsodies Key Items, you still get a lot of EXP quickly. Even 2 months ago, I would have said 48-72 hours to reach 99 was reasonable.
