People with Alts

[AzraelX]

Hello to all my fellow players for alts,
I know, I know. Why make an alt when you can do everything with one class?
Well these so many different options for races and genders..i can’t have one character.. I have one other character a female. ( see nice to look at btw and when I login as her- everyone is so nice!)

She’s at lv 36 and kinda tempted to blast through main story quest to get the end of 2.55 to play as machinist/astrologian… not sure.

So how do you guys deal with alts?

I only have one alt and that's for me to re-experience the story. True, I can watch it at the inn, but it won't play all cutscenes, nor will it give you all the side dialogue that you have in between quests.

I have a main that has all jobs leveled, so I approach my alt leveling in a casual manor

In a way it's quite fun starting from scratch: not much gil, having to run/walk everywhere (no I can use my mount), having a reason to go to these zones and encountering npcs that I forgot about, but will be important eventually. It's nice to re-experience that journey

I don't, having alts in this game is pointless. I mean you can't even send items to your alts. Alot more pratical to have everything in one char like you said.

Made an alt only to feed my Main character Chocobo instead of waiting for someone else in my fc to feed it

I'm usually an Altoholic. I have a handful of lvl 1s scattered across 3-4 servers. And yet I have this chara only that I play. In other games, WoW especially, I have one chara per crafting specialization, usually with a small number of differing races. Yet I think FFXIV's Armory system kinda kills the need for a second chara.

I'm planning on alting with an Au Ra regardless, but I'm not sure I can endure the last parts of the ARR storyline a second time.

I got 1 alt
SCH50 with proper cross-class skills for storyline quests etc to get heavensward access.
Capped all crafting and gathering - to farm unspoiled nodes/treasure maps and for the new specialist crafting whatever in 3.0
Oh and also have desynth - money maker - until zodiac becomes worthless anyways.

Two alts. One is whm and mnk at 50 and the other is smn/war/brd at 50. I only play the whm/mnk alt, however...three characters proved too much for weekly tome capping for me.

I have an alt. I only play it when i literally have nothing to do on my Main. I deliberately set aside 2 classes to not play on my Main so my Alt would have a purpose...but when i log onto my alt, it becomes obvious just how much crap i have to redo, and it's pretty bad for morale.

Main - pure dps cat lady, probably just level ninja, monk, and bard.....dragoon's done and machinist, depending on how they are will be my "main"
Alt - pure mage au ra, only casters and healers

Might make a third if I'm ever crazy one day which'll be purely tanks but I don't like tanking so probably long shot

I'm an altoholic too. I have a few scattered around Masamune, Excalibur, and Sargatanas, and I'm considering another for Balmung when Heavensward drops. However, I haven't really touched these much.

My main and my major alt are both on Leviathan. I've halted progress on the alt until Heavensward because I'm probably going to make her into an Au Ra. RP-wise both of them are more or less a matching set, and it's fun to make stories with them.

I enjoy making alts partly because I'm a sucker for character creation, and partly because I like looking at stories from different eyes, if that makes any sense.
