Hello future friends/lovers

I'm rather new and felt I should introduce myself!

HI.

With that out of the way!... I play on Odin, anyone have any juicy gossip about that realm!?

Also, I'm a marauder. A terrible one apparently. I ran the first few guildhests but couldn't hold aggro from all the mobs as it took away my overpower for the level ten ones... Yay.

So if anyone has any tips for a dumb, but highly sexy marauder, please share.

Much <3

My only tip would be to pick up gladiator for a few levels once you reach Ul'Dah.
Flash is a great substitute for Overpower when you're level synced below Overpowers level. And you'll get Provoke as well, needed at higher levels, or if something just gets lost in the fray.

Other than that, nothing much else save for a few FATEs will actually sync you below Overpower again, even the first dungeon lets you keep that. So you shouldn't have much issue carrying forward! Let that axe become an extension of your body and feel the beast within!

Welcome to Eorzea.

I now love you. Tank you very much for the info!

Odin/Lamia/Behemoth/Gilgamesh aren`t good servers with helpfully people. You should try Balmug or a Japanese server that have players that help newests and don`t offend you like saying that you are ''noob''. Good Lucky man.

Ah, shame. They'll just have to get used to me and my happy /helpful attitude. I have a friend that plays on it, that's why I'm there.

I shall change the realm, one person at a time! Bwahaha!

Welcome to Eorzea Rakar! We need more people like you spreading happiness around the realm! :D

I also second what Cana said about levelling GLA - not only for the abilities you can use like Flash, but also because it is needed for you to truly unlock your potency by gaining the Warrior (WAR) Job for your Marauder at level 30, which requires GLA to also be at level 15 before you can gain the quest.

Other than that, keep going back to the Guild for a quest every five levels, and also keep doing the storyline (the quests with the flaming meteor icon), as they unlock new content and allows you to expand your horizons (literally, you gain access to things such as airship travel to the other cities, gaining your own chocobo/mounts and other stuff).

First off welcome to probably the best online game you'll ever play...Secondly while i highly agree with you choosing marauder as your first tank job i'd recommend leveling a paladin first(gladiator+conjourer level 34) why you ask? because while warrior is the easier of the two tank jobs to handle you pretty much get everything from the start it's alot easier for a warrior to hold aggro then it is a gladiator PLD you learn what it takes to hold aggro and it gives you extra skills. for your aggro holding problem though what your gonna wanna do is always start with tomahawk to pull one then when the mob swarms pop overpower 3 times then do normal attacks with a extra overpower once after a rotation. fair warning warrior tends to have a few extra buttons to use then a paladin but all equally important FYI...try not to waste the stun on boss as it doesn't get affected by it unless you want a filler while you wait to use next skill in your rotation if your not pop your cooldowns

Thank you for the advice :D

I just ran satasha successfully with no deaths, but I was too focused on holding aggro that I didn't use maim or my dot. Should I even use these on trash mobs? They seem to die too fast :/

I got gladiator to 8 for flash, came in handy since I pulled with tomahawk, used overpower once, then started my combo. I'll have to use overpower more it seems :)

Much<3!

Hey Rakar, I like your style. Just bought the game & been playing for a few hrs now as a lvl 9 Elezen Guardian in the Hyperion server & also would like to read any "juicy gossip" or heads-up 'bout Hyperion. Gotta few questions forya I'm sure you can answer if you'll indulge me: 1. When creating my character I didn't notice the "Job" selection & I'm wondering if there's a default? If not, is it worth it to delete the character at this lvl? 2. How do we delete a character? 3. I can't find anywhere in profile or settings an avatar option! What am I missing? Looking forward to your reply.

In this forum you can't choose an avatar, it's whatever character you've selected to be active. Pretty sure you have to unlock the class/job in order to select it.

You can delete a character ingame by right clicking on them, or pressing X (or whatever the PS4 equivalent is.....triangle, I think? IDK. The sub-menu button.) and selecting "Delete Character".
NOW if you meant job as in PLAYING the job, everyone starts out as a class. For example, your Gladiator class can turn into the Paladin job once your Gladiator hits level 30 and once you pick up the Conjurer class and level it to 15. Then you can start the Paladin job, it will share levels as your Gladiator class.
If you really want to start over and do something else, now is the time. However remember that you can play ALL jobs and classes on a single character, so unless you want to move server or completely change the way you look without using a fantasia, it's not worth it. If you're going to do either of those things I'd delete now and restart since you aren't that far yet.

"Jobs" (most of them anyway) are the advanced version of classes. You'll need to get one class up to level 30 and another up to level 15 in order to unlock the job associated with the level 30 class. In the case of Gladiator, that can be advanced to Paladin once you have Gladiator level 30 and Conjurer level 15.

Gladiator (+Conjurer 15) -> Paladin
Marauder (+Gladiator 15) -> Warrior
Lancer (+Marauder 15) -> Dragoon
Pugilist (+Lancer 15) -> Monk
Rogue (+Pugilist 15) -> Ninja
Archer (+Pugilist 15) -> Bard
Thaumaturge (+Archer 15) -> Black Mage
Conjurer (+Arcanist 15) -> White Mage
Arcanist (+Thaumaturge 15) -> Summoner
Arcanist (+Conjurer 15) -> Scholar

(And no, it's not a typo that arcanist appears twice in that list. That class gets two jobs that it can advance to, while all the others just have one.)

Then the extra jobs added with the Heavensward expansion (Dark Knight, Astrologian, and Machinist) are a bit different. Those require actually reaching the Heavensward area, Ishgard, though, before you can unlock them. That won't be until level 50 at least, so you won't be getting to them for quite a while yet.

No. One of the cool things about this game is that a single character can have multiple classes and jobs. You can advance all the classes and jobs in the game all the way to endgame if you want to, or any combination of them that you're interested in. As soon as your first starting class reaches level 10 and does the level 10 quest from your class's guildmaster, it will unlock the ability to add other classes as well. Then you go to the guild of each other class you want to add and do a quest there to unlock it.

If you're interested in crafting and/or gathering, this is also the point at which those can be started. Crafting and gathering classes are added just like additional combat classes are. It's available once you reach 10 on your starting class. (It's only combat classes that upgrade to jobs, though. Crafting classes remain as a class all the way through the game.)

Thanks Niwashi. Your wonderful articulation & knowledge is a big help. :)

Thanks for your heads-up AskaRay. Notwithstanding the inapplicability of jobs at my lvl, I decided to delete the character anyway cuz "now is the time". :)

I'm not sure what kind of gossip you want to know about but I think those things are best talked about ingame.
Other than that, it's a quite balanced EU server - very much a colorful bag. I've seen a lot of raiders, newbies, roleplayers, LGBT, elitists, afkers, goldsellers, crafters, gatherers, many different europeans (quite a few nordic people too) and normal people :P.
Although the raiding scene might be the biggest out of the EU realms from what I've heard (other than the Legacy servers ofc).

And of course - if you just want to hang out and make new friends, go to the Aetheryte Plaza in Limsa and just start interacting with people there sitting on the grass or benches!


If you need any help or anything else, just give me a /tell ingame ^^

Words expressing any phobia like this are against forum policy and should be banned as well as the author. :mad:

Where exactly did I say I have anything against anyone? He wanted to know what kind of people live in Odin. o.o
I changed the order if that sounds somewhat less offensive(?).

What he means is that LGBT ARE normal people....what makes them not "normal"?
IE, no reason to separate them like you are with raiders, AFKers, etc.

And are any of those not "normal"? He didn't separate them. He just listed a whole bunch of categories of people, most of which are not exclusive of each other (so there's no suggestion that any need to be exclusive of the last category), but Cassiopio decided to jump on him for mentioning that one. Nobody jumped on him for suggesting that Europeans aren't normal people or that raiders aren't normal people, or that roleplayers aren't also crafters, etc.

All he did was include a final catch-all category since some people don't fit into specific ones. There's no need to twist a friendly welcoming post and try to make something hateful from it on that basis.

Greetings Niwashi. By your colorful badges & lvl you're the highest ranking player in this thread, and are to be respected but you're missing it and I must disagree. Shikiseki's rude and distasteful statement in his inclusion of "LGBT" and "nordic people" as not "normal people" is deserving of censure. Would you also be as tolerant if You are of LGBT sexuality or of Nordic heritage? :(

Heyyy, always cool to see new faces in Odin. Welcome! \o/ And like Shiki said, it's quite the melting pot! If you're feeling lonely, I'm always up for a lil chat. :>

Hello, Cassiopio! Just a heads up, but the "badges" are not ranks, they just represent the post count they have. The only high ranking people in this forum are the GMs and Developers. I would also like to point out that Shikiseki meant no harm, and by "normal" people he was referring to more casual folk and not homophobia. As someone who is apart of the LGBTQA+ community I see no harm in what he said, and was only trying to be friendly, however I am sorry you feel his post is offensive.

My goodness Zomkei ! After proudly announcing your sexuality, I'm equally sorry about your non-offensiveness at being so tolerant of one of your associates who considers you as not being a "normal person". It's ok for Shikiseki to "try" to be friendly when the attempt is not contradicted in context. Ya think! :(

He just used the wrong word, he wasn't saying we aren't normal, as explained several times over, it was used as a catch all, but believe what you will ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Yours and Niwashi's loyalty to Shikiseki is as impressive as it is instructive Zomkei, and I'm guilty of not seeing the forest for the tree due to my blind zealotry of political correctness. Please accept my humblest apology to all of you. I remain corrected.
