Mobs Difficulty

[Arcon]

Honestly, I wouldn't even mind them reducing the mobs' levels, but there are just a few isolated incidents where you're at the point that you can't level past a mob's difficulty (G1, G2 and Maat-preparation). That's three times in your FFXI career that you'll need to get help from someone (obviously not counting endgame-content, most of which is not soloable, just in case you didn't know). As I said, should definitely take RAIST up on his offer.

Otherwise, you can consider asking for a newbie-friendly linkshell on the forums here and do a server-transfer, if that's something you'd consider. For example, we'd also help you out on Leviathan, if that's an option for you.

Shame I'm on a different server as well, else I would gladly help, too.

If possible, though, I would strongly encourage on getting a personal account for each of you because if you have the possibility to play at the same time, I can almost guarantee that you would have a lot more fun.

That, and it is actually a violation of them rules, that is the User Agreement or 'Terms of Service' to share the account data, which not many even know and even less care about (even SqEX doesn't seem to care much, but it definitely still can produce complications of sorts). ^^;
It also creates many more inconveniences along the road. I'm certainly not telling you what to do, but I can tell from experience that it is a lot of fun to actually play with a close friend.


Again, best of luck to ya, and don't worry, you will be hearing a lot of this "make friends" stuff where ever you go and even happen to mention anything related to 'soloing' in a MMO.
I personally solo more than the average player, probably, and am of the opinion that an MMO needs solo-content just as well as any game, and as I mentioned before, these 'limit-breaks' should have never been made basically impossible to solo or even duo at their designed levels.


I'll stop writing now, before I go on for too long, again. ^^
Again, best of luck to ye~

A Hover Tank drops this and their level is 64-68.

That does suck. Years ago, I got mine from Ruby Quadavs at 69, and I soloed that (/NIN). It's not easy and might take a little time, but with help, it should be cake. It's also good practice for Maat, because the RDM Mat fight is by and large, the biggest bitch in this entire game. I had a friend who was 0/36.

yeah.. the pots can be flaky sometimes with their drop rates. Sometimes get them back-to-back in sky, other times not one will drop in an hour. Ruby Quad in Qulun dome seemed to be the more consistent drop...usually get one in around 6 kills or so at worst. But, he can be a bit of a handful if you aren't prepared (think he was like 72 or something). I had one of those friends that had a hard time with Maat too....would run out there and pull all his little frieds to the zone line so he didn't have to worry about them and could just focus on killing that Ruby SOB for testy.

We burned up all our nyzul tags last night (floor 40....getting there), not sure if we'll be teaming up for anything tonight. Only thing on my plate atm is gonna be recapping weapons on WAR (it's about 1200 from dinging 93)....so should have time to go slaughter something if she still needs that testy. Just need to get together somehow if you want the help.

REALLY wish they would enable PM on these boards. Would make this kind of thing easier to set up.....
