    Also just like to point out mentors are there to help out novices. They are under no obligation to explain and help out post novice. Yes I help people out all the time but that is in my nature.

    Players also have this misconception of what the Mentor Roulette is, it is there to fill duties that are struggling to find roles hence why it covers majority of fights in the game. Of course if it is a pre HW dungeon or their is a sprout in the party then a mentor should explain if they are seeing people struggle. One of the duties on the list is Dun Scaith. Players are not going to stop at every boss and explain the mechanics. Now if there is a wipe you may find you get some advice wanted or not.

    Once that sprout goes you are no longer a novice and if you feel that you still need help then I suggest that you slow down and stop doing the story. This way you don't lose novice status, you have access to novice network for advice and can repeat dungeons for experience in learning your class/job.

    Now is the time for you to step up after losing the sprout, either read a guide on equipment/dungeon, ask friends to run with you and learn, ask your FC or linkshell. Some people don't even want advice in later dungeons as they want to run it blind. Unless there is a wipe/ I see a player struggling or I am asked in a HW dungeon then I won't give advice.

    One other thing unless it specifically says PvE mentor then don't expect the mentor to know anything about the dungeon. Reason I say this is I died in a dungeon whilst having craft mentor on and I got comments like "lol your a mentor and you died" to which I replied "It says craft mentor, so unless you want one of these mobs turned into a table then get on with the dungeon"

    Mentors will also gain access to Duty Roulette: Mentor, which assigns players to duties that are struggling to fill party member slots.

    With the exception of parties actively seeking members for an ongoing duty, Duty Roulette: Mentor will not match together a full party of mentors.
