Duty Finder

I got to a point in Main Story where i need to use the Duty Finder.
I've been waiting for hours to someone to party in Sastasha Dungeon with no result, i'm level 16 now and i wish to go on with the dungeon quests already.... :mad:

Is everyone in this game thus high level that they don't need to go there or am i missing something?
Or am i the only one who wishes to go there?

Well if you are dps expect to wait 20min or more. It's normal

I would rather do main story missions without any other players getting involved in it because it can be a pure mess. This system is game breaking for me, why cannot the story missions be NPC guided instead? I don't have time to wait for an hour to get in a dungeon party.

If you were to queue as a tank or healer your time would be decreased drastically. I know those dps queues can be a pain :/ if you where on my server I could help ya out

What time of day / timezone do you play? DPS classes do have a longer wait for getting into dungeons, but even so, I can't remember the last time I saw it take hours to get in. 20 - 30 minutes is more typical.

Did you spot the earlier "Sastasha main story quest" thread? It's from another new player with the same problem, and includes some suggestions people have offered, like finding a good FC to help you, taking up a healer or tank class yourself so you can get faster queue times, or various ways to more enjoyably fill the time spent waiting in DF queues, etc.

Sheesh, i guess the only way to proceed is to have a new job as a healer and grind it to level 15 to get through the dungeon quests. :/

One of the popular suggestions for speeding up wait times is checking multiple languages in the duty finder. For your time zone adding French and German would probably help a lot.

Also try shouting (/sh) in the zone. Western La Noscea is a popular area and there are usually people around fate grinding.

I have tried both things, but it wasnt much of an help. I now started as a Gladiator and will grind my way to level 15 a.s.a.p to progress with what i was doing. The reason i have to get through this slaughter is for the retainers so i can sell cool junk.

If nothing works, and you don't want to start a new class, I suggest just leaving the duty finder alone and finding something else to do in the mean time, like your hunting logs, or side quests. I started as a tank, so my initial wait times weren't as bad, but now that I've switched to DPS, I usually end up doing other things to pass the time. It keeps the wait from getting miserable.

You can also try checking the "in progress" button if you haven't already.

A new patch was just released so most of the player base is doing the new content and getting everything unlocked, so very few people are currently doing low level stuff. Queue times will probably get better after everyone has done their initial rush of the new content and things go back to normal.
