How do I find a static raid group?

[Ophie-Mio]

Thanks a lot for all of the posts, guys. I'll try some of the methods mentioned here, although it's not like I haven't ever tried them before. I've sat in a PF for hours just to have no one join

Maybe it's time to consider that your server just isn't the right one for you then? The bigger servers get newer players all the time and people running content for a multitude of things all the time. The day that you posted this reply above, I asked my husband if there were any T5 groups in PF and there were two waiting on a tank and another waiting on two DPS. I have no idea what Diabolos is like but maybe a bigger server is actually the answer for you.

I recognize that this is because I'm very behind on content and everyone is already up to the higher Turns, but it's difficult to catch up when the only people still running T5 in DF are the ones that can't clear it.

DF is a nightmare in the NA servers. Sometimes you get clears, other times you get lots of practice. I've never had luck with a T5 DF group. PF all the way. Seriously though, this being old content does not prevent people who are further along to want to come and help. 100 Soldiery is way too nice and wiping a few times still makes it less of a time investment than CT or ST.

As far as proving myself, what Ai Hana said about not having a chance to is accurate. When I used to run stuff with my FC the people further along than me were impressed that I was a fast learner and could play my class well, but that didn't really come to anything as far as a group for raiding goes.

You and these FC members do not sound like you're at the same point at all. As an FC leader myself, I do help with an FC member's clears but even if I'm impressed with them it can't lead to anything. My static is full up. Do as we've said, T5 clear PF, get through second coil, and get on T9 asap. Make your own PF often. Nothing static wise will happen until T9 is cleared. And if your PFs don't fill up, take a look at the trend and see what is normally up there.

On Cactuar, we have everything from third coil learnings/clears, Primal focus parties, pony farms, T5, EX farming, and SCoB farm parties. We literally have everything. If you don't see this sort of selection above, consider as I said above that you may not be on the right server.
