Adjustment to enemy levels, plz

[Kojo]

I'm not sure why anyone thought it'd be a good idea to put level 100+ mobs right outside of a city, because it isn't. Some people can solo them, some can't, those who can't are stuck paying ridiculous amounts for quest items. Despite at 75 running through Incredibly Tough, aggressive mobs to get to the 3 cities, just outside the city gates were mobs a lv 10 could solo, and they scaled up as you moved further from the city, why not do the same thing in Ceizak and Yahse? Please tell me there are plans to adjust mobs and their levels in these two zones.

If you are talking about adoulin: the Developers clearly stated multiple times that the new expansion is based around lvl 99, so its lvl 99 content. You better get your job up to 99 if you want to do anything in Adoulin. Easy as that, go lvl your job.

I have 10 lv 99s. None of them are NIN.

NIN isnt the only job capable of soloing things.

Jobs that can easy/maybe with a little trouble solo things:

NIN, DNC, BLU, PUP, BST, THF, PLD, DRG, BLM (by nukeing), SCH (by nukeing)
adjust your gear and SJ for soloing and you should be fine

Jobs that can solo but struggle a bit more:
RDM SMN SAM MNK DRK
here the same, adjust your gear and SJ

Jobs that definitly struggle without support:
The rest: RNG BRD WAR COR WHM

now there are 20 jobs (ignoreing the new ones since I assume you didnt lvl them yet fully or geared skilled them etc)
you said you lvld 10 jobs to 99

I gave you 10 option of jobs that can solo good - decent and 5 jobs that can solo semi decent. Multiple of your 10 Jobs should hit the above criteria of Jobs listed.

of course if your gear is ass (and by ass I dont mean you need a relic/empy and ofmg uber gear to be able to solo) and you suck at playing your jobs, none of the above options will help you.

Thanks for the advice. I dunno why no one offers advice before blasting people, though.

well you gave 0 information about your situation you just screamed "omg too high lvl for 75", which lets people assume you have only lvl 75 jobs. Thus I stated what the Developers said, that the expansion is based around lvl 99 content, hence go lvl your job. People dont know how many jobs you have leveld and what you are doing etc etc etc. So its kind of hard to give advice to someone with 0 information beforehand.

You can buy sneak/invis items, you can level up /dnc you can level up /nin you should have both of them anyway, if you do actually play as Pup then I suggest that you think about /Sch as well cause sometimes you have to be more versatile even if it cuts your damage a bit.

If you're not willing to contribute to the economy and you're not willing to do the work then what on earth are you playing FFXI for?

I leveled Sch back in the day JUST to get through Vunkerl Inlet (S) and other areas till I made my way all the way to San D'Oria (S) as a level 25 Sch. I was like a 45 DRK maybe higher back then... I didn't have gil, so I leveled up scholar and got the spells spammed <pos> and alt+tab, rested when I needed to get MP, and eventually after many deaths, and reraises, I finally made it.

This expansion is made for teaming up. You can't solo reives unless you're a BST on a Nest doing things just right and even then you wont' get good bayld for it. FFXI is not designed to be easy.

Go and level up Nin you'll need it. If you don't want to spend the gil on Utsusemi Ichi then go do worm parties for Zinc Ore while you're meriting. There are plenty of options. Don't ask for a nerf just because you don't want to work hard or participate in the economy.

RDM has no problems in the jungle if the RDM is well equipped and well prepared. You just won't find more than a handful of RDMs on each server that fit that category.

To the OP, PUP is also extremely proficient so long as you have a defensive undertone to your play style. It does better than SMN and BST currently if you have raised your PUP to lvl 99 and geared it as such.

There are some jobs that won't do well in the new content and a lot of jobs will struggle because it is a complete reversal from what they are used to, but I don't think there are almost any jobs that can't at least DUO and that's all abyssea boiled down to anyways. You and healer. Getting things done.

The only difference now is no buffs out the gate, though they are coming in the form of Ionus. Less prepared and/or returning players that aren't up to par will just have to wait around a month or so while the people that can get things done currently furnish them with advantages that weren't available on release. It's not like you can't gear your jobs in that time as well.

I have 10 lv 99s. None of them are NIN.

I didn't need NIN sub to solo on PUP.

[Zagen]

Your main job shows PUP 99 and you're having trouble soloing them? Here's another concept that seems foreign in FFXI, team up with other players to get something done not like it's a MMORPG or anything crazy like that.
