    You are right Pheonix, after thinking about those comments, I felt like a jackass and apologised. I understand now how a loadstone profile can give off an impression of someone, and I had not considered it before today. There were a few weeks I didn't cap and the past 2 weeks I've been grinding for my 220 chest since I didn't have enough gil for the crafted one. But I see how that can translate to someone that I'm not very committed, and I will change that from now on. I figured I could some 240 from A5S since I haven't cleared it yet, but if I'd have capped, it would be that much easier to do so.

    Pretty sure it was said already (too lazy to fish through comments x.x;;; ), but, from experience...

    I can't really sign on to a static, either - some Fridays/weekends I'm around and some Fri-Sundays I'm traveling, and it's usually a crapshoot - same with random nights during the week.
    However, a random learning party in PF turned into a "Lets do things!" LS, some time ago - and it sorta of became a random/unofficial static - we just did whatever when someone asked if people wanted to do XYZ and after a while, we got to know each others habits, like a static (albeit took a bit more time than a true static, but still). I havent' been active in that LS since my FC definitely fleshed out to 7-8-ish people (from like.... 4), but....

    You would probably be well to find chill people of like mind (I guess advertise it in the PF) and create a "lets do a thing!" LS, like this, so they're not all potentially randoms (except to fill spots, I guess), so you can still have practice with the same people to do raids with but not always be required to be on at a certain time (downside is not having enough people on at any given time, but if the LS is large enough, you would have a bigger pool of people to be on at that time).

    You're right Graylle, and I'm sorry for getting all pissy with you.

    Thats a good idea too Saseal. Instead of advertising static, just a LS instead. I'll give it a shot next time I'm on while I do my beast tribes for the day.

    no content in this game requires gear higher than i220 with a few lore pieces on. it makes it /easier/ yes. but otherwise, midas normal gear with a few grade 4 melds and a seph e wepx will see him up to A7S.

    obviously its not the "best" he can do related to his gear, and its not beneficial to be at that level, but if he plays his class right, he will be fine with that type of gear




    On topic, you arent the single one person in this scenario, there are many other people that also do not have asteady schedule. Alot of them are in statics and have cleared many of the content ingame, so it just takes patience and more or less, luck to get into a static with how your schedule is, just keep trying

    I didn't see this mentioned earlier, but timing can be very important to finding a static as well. We are in a bit of a content lull right now, and a lot of groups are fairly solidified. The best time to look for a static is the 2 weeks prior through the 2 weeks after a new raid tier comes out, as that is when players tend to shuffle around the most. So if things don't go well right now, do your best to cap your gear on whatever class you want to raid on, and try again when Alex part 3 hits.

    Questing is like participating in an Old Spice Commercial - Talk to me, talk to him, talk to me, talk to him, Now Talk To Me...Sadly, you are not done, back to him, look there, its that mob I never liked, back to me, back to him...I'm in the Waking Sands.

    If things don't go well right now, do other stuff like ex primals (all of them), know all their mechanics. Basically know all the mechanics for all the fights and gain a network.

    Regarding gear, if you're uncertain which class you want to raid on, you can let your lore accumulate to around 2000 (i.e. buying things only to keep from hitting the cap). Then when you have a prospective spot in a group lined up, you can instantly boost that job's gear.

    You've ignored one important point of him:

    With that he means for example your list of finished trials. There is much missing you should finish before you want to do Savage.

    I'm on your Server so i have no qualms helping you when I can. Also If you Set up PF's, make friends or join a PUG Raid LS. I'm sure you can beat at least A5S and SephEX. With your limited time it's better for you to take the lead instead of waiting for the right train as it may not come. I'm sure there's tons of others in your boat.

    Everything else about applying yourself has been said already and again I'd also be down to help you when I can.
