    You'd start on THF...?

    All wrong.

    Job RDM. Not a bad soloer to start you off in the low levels, using a sword and a nuke or 2. level to ~12 then head to gusgen til 30.

    Leech to 50 in abyssea.

    Unlock SJ and SCH.

    Solo SCH to ~12 then Gusgen til 30.

    Do limit break quests with a friend, killing 1 mob after the first one to take you to 51, then do next one.

    Leech SCH to 60.

    Do next 2 LB quests with a friend, again killing 1 mob between to level up to 60 to do the 2nd.

    Leech to 70.

    Gear up using gil from any pop items/NPCables you aquired whilst keying.

    Kill Maat on SCH.

    Level to 71 then do LB75 and join an abyssea party.

    skip reive gear.

    Join a boss shout on SCH, and hope you arrive at the NM before anyone realises how gimp you are.

    Hope the rest of the alliance makes up for your shortfalls and you still get the win.

    ***********************************************************************

    Might require a little bit of farming or questing for important scrolls/gear, but even so, if I had a week off work, I could do it in that week, I'm pretty certain.

    Reason for choosing SCH? No skilling required, and SCH can be pretty useful in most delve NM fights, if for regen alone. and there's always Embrava too, even if you do only get lower skills with arts when uncapped.

    Well, I started off Thief for Treasure hunter so I could farm wild onions, make the gil needed to buy equipment, items to help get around the game independently. Yeah but also SCH quest vs buying spells for BLM, WHM, Sch.. Takes time compared to using starter jobs.

    Not to forget how useful TH is when farming subjob quest items solo at 35.

    Flee helps you move around the game faster also when mog tablet swift shoes is up.

    But hey just wanted to see how fast others can do it

    Phalanx compliments -PDT and Stoneskin.

    Thief is for Treasure Hunter, useful for earning gil, farm quest items and helps you get around the game independently if you have no gil or help from others.
    You dont' need money, everything is rare/ex now.
    Do war because you can kill faster in your solo to eitehr 10 for burn or 30 for aby.
    Whm though dose get you an easier in for any event, ut like you said, you will have to spend money on it. There's no way aroudn that on whm.

    Well if you are starting a brand new account, you do need gil. Silent oil, prism powder can be pretty high in price when first starting the game with absolutely nothing.

    That was my take on how to get past maps fastest way possible. Also need some basic gear to play in Gusgen mines. And as WHM, RDM need to buy spells.

    Gear and food contributes to how fast you can speed level up until you reach Abyssea.

    My point of view was based on as if I start a brand new account how fast could I reach 99, skip a good portion of content and earn a delve weapon/gear.

    I've never done skirmish too, just getting Orvail set allowed me to play delve easier.

    You don't need any of that in this day and age. Go into zerhun mines, page to 10, stay in zeruhn mines and burn whatever you can get your hands one. At least 30. Go jeuno, start aby, get your chocobo. Burn in la thine until done.
    As for war, get your AF, grab a hauby. Get a GA for around 50k. Easy Maat.
    The only thing lengthening the time frame is skill ups.

    Ok I just thought thief helps in earning gil to support buying spells also but good to know this

    I went from a new account to 99 in 3 weeks. Had to farm a bit and do enough missions/quests to be able to reach 99 without being in chocobo gear.

    Can you post your method? That way others can see that it is possible.
