Sprout FAQs

[Bonoki]

The ones I usually always see is what is the fastest and most efficient way to farm pretty much anything.
Fastest way to get through the MSQ and catch up.
Fastest way to get endgame gear late to the party.
How to get into endgame raiding with no experience at all and how to find the resources necessary.
Not knowing when primetime is for certain activities and end up waiting in queues for much longer than they need to.
Not knowing the benefits of DC Visit and World Travel, and when you might want to use them.
EVERYTHING related to PvP.
ANYTHING related to endgame. The game doesn't teach people how to play their jobs very well.
The classic is what jobs are best and why. Which jobs are most new player-friendly? Which jobs can I not get yelled at for not being good at, ect.
All the different quest markers on the minimap, how to find the Aether Currents, and how to tell if something has an unlockable or meaningful reward. (The number of people that don't have flight when I do map parties is kind of staggering)
I see a lot of sprouts asking how to get involved with RP and how to find mods but that one is uhem. Goodluck.

I don't, so I suppose that has something to do with being on Balmung.

My riff's on this poster's list. Note this is not a tit-for-tat response, please.

There have been multiple videos on "how to play <pick a job> at endgame" over the last ten years. Most are outdated at this point.

There have not been videos on "how to level <pick a job> with an eye to prepare for endgame". These could actually be role-based, with discussions of mitigation, learning how to determine higher DPS through tooltips, observing mechanics, and how-to-heal with and without specific job examples.

A whole series about this topic would be welcome. Mechanics, etiquette, where to find announcements, how to develop your background, and acting tips would be great. There are a lot of good RolePlayers out there ... interviews and example venues (no, I don't mean Clubs) would be good topics.

I think if this is going to be a thing, then they definitely need to be really selective about what venues are picked. I honestly rarely see anything these days outside of clubs, brothels and casinos so unsure of what exactly to highlight outside of it. Maybe a couple of years ago this would be a different story but most venues now are very nightlife/nsfw oriented.
