Can haz questions?

[Dogempire]

So, I'm a new player looking to kill time on this game, so far I really like it, but I do feel the need to ask questions due to my inexperience. So, here goes:

1. How much will it cost to buy a housing plot? I'm not really going to be picky, I just want a place to call home and maybe afk in. I am in the Excalibur server at the moment.

2. I'm a level 14 arcanist who might want to start making money soon, but anyways, any suggestions on making some decent money? I don't mind if you just give me an option that I can do later down the road.

3. How viable is arcanist as a tank or as a solo character? I prefer soloing dungeons since I feel like it makes stories much more awesome (I feel like it sort of takes away from the overall story if you need 7 other random people to fight the main antagonist, but that's just me).

4. Where does the best gear in the game come from? (Crafting, killing bosses, etc.)

5. On a scale of 1-10 how old are you?

I know housing plots change for each server, and that is if you can even find one... I think Excalibur was on, maybe, the second tier of most expensive so a small plot could be anywhere from 8 mil to 10 mil? There's a chart floating around.

Crafting and gathering can make a lot of money, but since you esseintally have to level all of them up for serious crafting/gathering, it can take a while.

Arcanist has two job options, unlike other classes: Summoner and Scholar. Summoner is a DPS, though it has Titan as the tank pet. Scholar is a healer. Neither are tanks. Also I'm not TOTALLY sure but I think you may have to do a dungeon with a party the first time? I could be wrong. Either way you will NOT be able to solo dungeons unless you are very, very overleveled. First dungeon is at level 15 and I believe you could probably solo it around level 30 as a Summoner (with your pets), if you know what you're doing. Also I've seen undersized parties for the harder dungeons, but they were all level 60 and had done the content before. Same with soloing primals. There's a video of a Warrior soloing (almost? or actually) all of the Extreme Primal fights, which were the hardest in ARR, before Heavensward.

Best gear comes from a mix of raiding, tomestones (weekly currency), and crafting.

I'm 2/10.

Have fun in Eorzea

Do you know where I can claim a white devil mount? I can't find any information regarding where to use the key.

If that's the new one from the Mog Station. Click on "Your Account", then hit "Enter Item Code". That should let you redeem the mount.

I already redeemed it, the game gave me a white devil identification key.

I don't really know how to use it.

OOOOH
Oh okay I understand now...sorry X)
When you reach, I think, Main Story Quest level 20, you'll be able to rent/own a chocobo, which is your first mount (it's when you choose a Grand Company to ally with). That's when you can start using mounts. When that's available, just "Use" the identification key and the mount will be put into your mounts you can choose from.

If you have the key in your inventory, just right click the item and select use. The mount will be added to your mount list automatically.

Ah thanks, I thought I needed to get to level 50 for it but nevermind.

If warriors can solo fights I might decide to switch, maybe once I master arcanist, who knows.

I mean, theoretically, if anyone is good enough then any job could probably solo something.
Summoner may even be better, with a built in tank (Titan), a couple healing abilities, and strong DPS.

Though, who knows.
