Hello, i'm a returner.

[Nerael]

Hello, i would consider myself as a noob but i'm willing to learn more about this game and MMO in general.
I always screw up in duties (Duty finder) such as the dragon that heals itself from a pool of poison, just wondering if anyone can tutor me in this game! XD
(By the way what does "ig", nfc and "gg"<-I guess it's not good game :\)

First off, Welcome

I'm not on your server either, but the best you can do is probably post in your Servers' subforum.
You'll have an easier time finding a tutor (Unless you don't mind switching servers, I won't mind to help you out. My info is next to my Portrait <- )
If you have specific issues you can always post them here and we can help and advise you.

In regards to the abbreviations:
GG = Good Game / Good group. Like Werhusky says though it sometimes gets used sarcastically.
IG = In game
NFC = No F-ing Clue

Sorry I'm not on your server but I'm sure someone from Shiva will read this
GG is in fact Good Game but mostly used in a sarcastic way when someone doesnt do/know the mechanic and misses to do it right.

Really? I say that alot every time a group finished a fate, and duties. XD
Also that must of mean i wasn't doing the duty properly, how do you know what to do exactly in duty finder?
Thanks for the good luck and translating abbreviations

I won't be doing a server switch, because i don't want to spend more money.
I won't hesitate to ask, this community seems really friendly in my opinion.

how do you know what to do exactly in duty finder?

Either by running them repeatedly until you figure out the mechanics, or by looking up info ahead of time. (But if you want to learn them in-game while running them, it's better to go in with a group of friends who know that's the plan. Sometimes DF parties will get annoyed if you don't already know the basics.)

Lots of people recommend finding videos of the dungeons to learn from ahead of time. Personally, I prefer written guides, as most videos (at least the ones I've found) don't make it as clear what's going on or why. Just Google "FFXIV" followed by the name of the dungeon you want to run, and you'll find several guides, ConsoleGamesWiki, GamerEscape, EorzeaReborn, and ffxivinfo, amongst others. (EorzeaReborn has some particularly good detailed guides for quite a few of the dungeons, and ffxivinfo.com, though they tend not to have as much description, has maps with a lot of their guides, which can be particularly helpful for tanks who are expected to be able to lead the way. But some sites are better for some dungeons than others, so I just take a quick look at several of the guides Google suggests, and then read through the most detailed of them.)
