Best way to use Party Finder?

[ruinedmirage]

I have never used it before, I am extremely intimidated by it. I don't even know why!

This is the common perception of PF by many newcomers (and some older players, too). Learning parties actually fill up very quickly. There's more people out there willing to learn, but are just afraid of how they might be portrayed. Use come catchy phrase to get people into it and know your intention, like "Do player attitudes at end game frighten you more than the Primals themselves? Come get some experience in <dungeon>, exp players always welcome."

Can I steal that line? haha

Of course! I remember using that one specifically for Ultima HM. It was mine and 5 other peoples' first time, and 1 experienced player thought it was funny and decided to help teach some noobies ^^ We all got to the last phase, just make sure you're very open and willing to take any advice, and be polite even if someone says, "my FC needs me".
