Levelling Guide to Ffxiv - A Realm Reborn

[Instigator]

Thanks for the info, at first I was doing every guest I came across because I like doing everything but it is definitely a good idea to leave the small side quests for other classes later on.

On another note, you really should get into cross class skills more, some of them are OP for leveling (Looking at you Raging Strikes/Straight Shot from Archer and Cure/Shell from Conjurer)

Thanks for the Feedback. I'll look into incorporating something about this in my next update

Thanks again and PLEASE either explain Acronyms or don't use them as we dont all know what "OP"

means or many of the other often used ones, it is not helpful and makes it very confusing to try to understand when we are studying and trying to get as knowledgeable about how all of this works thanks again..your guide is great! and I am glad to see you can post again

My comment was more directed twards Serashae, who I would hope knows the common MMO acronyms but here's a definition for you:

OP = Over Powered = Really good skill to use (They're not actually overpowered [in this situation], but MMO vernacular has basically shifted to let OP mean very good in situations)

[Serashae]

Thanks guys, I truly appreciate the feedback given so far..

If you have any other ideas on what I should include, please let me know. I'm aiming to make regular updates throughout the first week and beyond so I will try and add them in

OK Daiceman thanks for that appreciate it very much. I know the abbreviations have spread like wildfire among some parts of the gaming world, as with other parts of the internet, i come from an older generation and predate all of this so at times it is hard to follow, which does not mean i can't learn I have a lingering fondness for the language but understand things change over time...and i do appreciate the explanaiton..now that is no longer a mystery and Do please keep updating as we see the full game Serashae San, it is a lovely guide indeed.

On that note could someone post a thread on all the acronyms on this forum please for the newbies to FFXIV and MMO's. Some might be common MMO acronyms but it would be very helpful and appreciated by us. Thanks.

Really handy guide, thanks!

[CrisGer]

Mellotronscratch...second that, great idea. That would be a BIG help to have a laundry list of MMO and FFXIV abbreviations. Looking forward to it once we get into the game and people catch up on their sleep tomorrow lol
