Question about Party Seek

[Dubont]

I have no idea how to use this game's "seek invite" function in the party search. If I'm seeking for a party on Warrior, at level 39, which tab do I click on and how would I set it up?

I've tried "Search-> Seeking Invite" and I get nothing...then I've tried "Recruit-> Seek Invite," but I feel like that isn't what I should be doing either lol...help?

You need to go to Search and click the area with your name at the top where you can then set your status, preferred class, comment, etc.

There's a pretty good Lodestone guide for this.

As Inaaca said, just go to Menu --> Search, set your status to "Seeking party" and write a search comment.

The "party" recruit menu is used pretty much when you shout that you're making a group. you can put in detailed info about what you plan to do and what jobs you want.

The JP are really the only ones who activity use it.

I still wonder why no one besides the JP use this? Using the seek party and search functions would be so much easier than just sit in ul'dah shouting for a damn party...

Come to think of it, doesn't most of the current player base of this game come from XI? 'cause I dunno, but it seems like everyone suddenly forgot about this sort of things. O_o

It's because we didn't have the player search till almost a year after release. Players became used to shouting for groups.

There's also the WoW players too, quite a bit of are current XIV community never played XI.

I actually have trouble using it. In FFXI, it was very simple and easy to use. You "Seek party" by putting your flag up and the party leader can "Seek members" and the only ones displayed are the ones with their flags up. The only real option you had was level range. So this system is a bit confusing to me...especially since when I select search, it just returns no results ><

Do not mean to derail this thread but I really wish more people would use the party seek function . I cannot wait till they add little icons in 2.0 like they had in XI that physically show when someone is looking for a group.

I have yet to meet a single person in FFXIV that hasn't played FFXI. One of the first things I ask people when playing with them and getting to know them is what server did you play FFXI on.

There are actually 2 people in my LS that FFXIV is their first FF game period. They were WoW players, then Aion, then FFXIV.
