What to do & where are people?

[Rathanyel]

I agree with you people are quiet and it seem like bots rather than players xD no one is talking and it feels like im all by myself in the entire server:P Also Ive made a comeback in 1.19 too and i like the changes so far, but still i cant get into the game=/ quests are few and the rewards arent so good for the time you spent to complete those quests as far as i have seen. And things seem very chaotic for me, all i did was lvl up to 17 but i didn't changed my gear at all as i progressed with quests leves or grinding. i tried to weave but ive spent more money and time there without any significant results

I also wanted to join a social linkshell with helpful people that could give me a hint or two to get started but how am i going to join a linkshell if people aren't talking at all :P

so my question is..how a new player can learn the games mechanics and slowly adapt to the game, so far i don't where to start.Crafting? questing? grinding ? try to join a linkshell first?

P.S Sorry for my english.

Have you tried crafting leves? You get the materials for free, and just like battle leves, you get an XP bonus for making the materials and turning them in. There's an NPC that's standing right next to the NPC that offers battle leves. That NPC will offer "local" leves. Those are crafting leves. You can use some of your leve allowances to get crafting leves.

Again, check the Mysidia forums for linkshells. And you can post in there that you're looking for a linkshell.

All of those things. Do leves, quests, behest, grind, explore, and (perhaps most importantly) join a linkshell.

P.S Sorry for my english.

Your English is very good.

Thank you for the awesome reply, VydarrTyr.

[Rathanyel]

thnx a lot for the reply Vydarr that's one of the reasons i didn't gave up on FFXIV: the helpful and kind community xD

you given me some really helpful info especially with the sidequests compilation also i didnt even know there was this "behest" thing ive completed my first one an hour ago and its really a good way to get an extra boost in exp (combing in with my current leves in camp) and make some extra cash along the way I'll try and do some crafting leves later and see how it goes too :P

okay i have two more questions if you may answer me pls can i retake the sidequests ive completed with my current class and do them again with another class?

for example ive done all the lv10 side quests in uldah with my char as a conjurer if i change to lv10 pugilist can i take the same quests and complete them again?

and my last question is about crafting: how can i find recipes for crafting better gear is there a reward from crafting leves or other crafting quests or do i have to buy gear from the wards?

thanks again xD

Hi Rathanyel.

If you haven't already, go to Uldah and /shout to ask if any Linkshells are recruiting - there are loads of friendly social shells on Mysidia.

Em x.
