DoH / DoL, Companies, and Chocobos

Pretty sure you can progress the main storyline as a Gatherer or Crafter. I have killed mobs with wristflick for the main storyline. Everyclass should be able to do it whether its DOH/DOL or DOW/M.

I also don't see what is so "wierd" about wanting to play a gatherer or crafter over a battle class, People play games like Harvest Moon and Farmville. This has similarities but on a more epic scale and the gathering can be quite fun. SE realized this and made a game where you can choose to do whatever you prefer.

Will they have Seal quests in 1.19 for DOH/DOL. Honestly don't know, would be nice to get a statement on this. My bet would be no, but I am a bit disillusioned with some things atm. I certain hope they do. Atleast I play all aspects of the game, which means I can get my bird even if DOH/DOL get shafted in the next patch on seal earning quests.

I really like both crafting and gathering, so I don't want you to get the idea that I'm against it or anything. But the game seems more suited to someone who - while PRIMARILY or MOSTLY gathering or crafting - has a little bit of a battle class in there as well. Like the reverse of how most players do it.

I like to cut down trees myself (though I think I will try Fishing next, read your guide hehe) but I can't imagine seeing a tree I want to harvest with an r20 aggro mob right next to it, and not being able to move forward until it wanders off...

Thank you very much for the link. I really did search high and low for this info, but I think the way I was wording my searches kept me from finding anything. Hopefully this is regarding a future role for DoH/DoL, however, it is somewhat ambiguous.

Hmm, true. But the mob thing is going to be much less of an issue. Stealth baby!

And I would suggest fishing, hope you like it, thanks for taking the time to check out the guide, hope it was useful.

Hopefully this is where the new stealth ability will come in.
