Tutorials to teach players how to play effectively

[Miste]

I was asking the developers to help us create a method that instructs players on how to play, because a good chunk of newer players really don't know what their actions do or how to chain them. I was guilty of this too. Back when I first started as a BLM I used to just sit there and spam Fire 3 until I was out of mana, then cast Blizzard 3 to replenish it. It wasnt until someone in my relic Chimera-fight was nice enough to tell me about "Firestarter" and how to use it to get free Fire 3's. I had no idea.

Not everyone learned their jobs by other people instructing them....personally I learned some jobs by actually examining the job's toolkit (like reading the spell/ability information) so that I fully understand how to make use of my spells and abilities.

Everyone can actually teach themselves how to play a job decently without other player's help if they actually spend the time to try and read and understand the job they are trying to play. The game already fully explains the spells, abilities, and traits we obtain in the tooltips just some people aren't reading them.

They are already adding more stuff in terms of novice help with the new novice hall though so like others said you might as well wait for that to see how it goes.

This is true. In my case though, Firestarter is a trait and not an ability you can cast. Which is why I missed it. I didnt even know I had it, so I didnt know I should be using its effects. BAck then I just thought that one BLM spell was stronger than the next so I just replaced them as I went. Knowing what I know now, has taught me to read and check up on these things everytime I gain a new level. But once again, newer players may not be anticipating this and may just generally not know to check ^^;
