New player dissapointed

[Arcon]

So .. what do level 99 people do anyway?

For money/currency farming Salvage and Dynamis, for gear farming Abyssea, for situational pieces sky, sea, Limbus, Dynamis and various xNMs as well as Magian trials for weapons, for higher tier gear with larger groups (often static) Nyzul Isle Uncharted and Meeble Burrows, for endgame gear with full alliances Voidwatch, Einherjar II, Legion and occasionally/possibly Limbus II.

Then there's occasional special events like certain quests (Divine Might, Apocalypse Nigh, Duties, Tasks and Deeds, etc.), missions (WotG, CoP, ToAU, etc. for ending rewards) or camping certain NMs.

Also what is this level 70+ stuff I can do? Abby parties? Dom ops? worm parties?

Pretty much that. You can also start on many missions and get to a decent point, although those will also be solo-efforts until higher rank fights.

Thanks again everyone.

@Unctgtg I will look them up, thank you!

@ everyon else.... so I already canceled my account, but still have remaining time left, and i decided to give Maat another go. Turns out, my testimony is in fact worthless after that first try. I discarded it from my inventory, went back out to Beadeaux, tried to steal from the platinum quadav twice, to no avail, and I even de-leveled... yeah... umm if there really isnt any light at the end of this tunnel, like a HUGE burning bright sun full of some real enjoyable content. I'm uncertain if its really worth it LOLZ

Daniolaut I am so sorry you are experiencing this kind of play for someone so new. What you need is a NICE LS which are hard to find. Especially for being on my server.

Best news I can give you is that I know of some LSs that are perfect for you to keep you occupied during the hard times.

is one I highly recommend. Speak to Grommet or post on the forums. They have been around for years and are great for returning and new players. Or just look for me, granted I am afk a lot

hmmm another thing i guess i should have mentioned, as i read about this Linkshell it seems they are very serious, which is not a bad thing, but I am not very serious about playing FFXI. I am playing this game as I wait for FFXIV A Realm Reborn (FFXIVARR) and would like to enjoy another FFMMO if possible. But i guess im screwed lol I do very highly appreciate everyones help so far though. Take care.

They are far from serious, they like to have fun. IRL comes first but trust me when they have events its for fun and to get to know members of the LS like a hang out while getting stuff done.

I would just like to let everyone know I am back in the game full time at the moment.

Currently my THF is level 88, and I have leveled DRG all the way to 95. I am in the process of doing/farming items for G10/LB10.

I also just completed rank 5 mission for bastok (which grants access to the island where you can get SAM, NIN, and rank 6)

I also just saw a /yell for Skirmish in Jeuno and just about had a heart attack and speedily bought the Adoulin Ultimate collection so I also now have abyssea. I hope to continue to more enjoy the game as each week passes. haha.
