New Tank: dungeon etiquette tips

[Hiruke]

In a not-50 dungeon, if there is anyone, even 1 person, in the group who is not level 50, you should expect to kill every single mob, everywhere, forever. If everyone is level 50 already, pulling extra mobs is probably more undesirable. Just because X person wants to cruise through (likely the healer or tank, because I'm betting the underleveled dps probably want xp) doesn't mean you have to, or should. Think of the dps!

As a tank, if I am in a low level instance, I make sure to scour everywhere so anyone levelling can get as much EXP as possible, especially DPS who queued a long time to get in the instance unless everyone is in agreement that they just wanna rush it.

I remember a Totorak run where the DRG got pissy with the tank because he didn't have time to waste on trash mobs (he was there for Animus Book) seriously, its levelling content, let players level, if you wanna speedrun it for book, get a group for it, don't chip other players out of EXP because you are impatient. I hate speedrunning levelling dungeons, I want to level up, not set a record.

I like the odd speedrun every now and then, but it can be annoying to do the hard roulette and be expected to speedrun every time (especially as a healer, spamming Cure II isn't all that fun) and outright expecting speedruns for low level dungeons is just stupid.

I think normally you would go the main path (with chests that don't need a lot of time), and if the party decides it, you do a full clear with all the rooms and all the mobs.

I found I did not have the achievemnt of Sastasha map when I was level 50 in several classes, and asked please to obtain the map in a run I did on which I was not the tank. I got the map but not all mobs died.

In some places like Aurum Vale people who want a full clear for exp (and letting the fruits become seedlings) usually ask it and the party decides. Letting the fruits bud doesn't take that much time and it's a lot of extra exp. Haukke Manor is other place where some rooms can be skipped and people may want the full clear or not. Brayflox normal mode another one.

I would just ask if you don't know what the party wants. If only one wants a quick run or a full clear I would go with the majority. I don't think you should take for granted a full clear is needed.
