[question] First time DoH looking for advice

TC, level all the classes to 50 first. Then start leveling them all to 60, then to 70.

Rather than making items (or buying them) to hand in for Leves/GC, craft them yourself and then sell them on the board. You can actually turn a decent profit by gathering materials yourself, crafting HQ, and selling the stuff on the board, even low level stuff sells.

Quoted for truth.

Also leveling in parallel makes it easier on the armory chest.

Don't forget about the Ixal quests from 1 - 50, their delivery quests, Your GC's delivery quests, and the Moogle questline after 50.

BTW the last tier of the Ixal questline is hard, the Moogle questline is dead simple.

(edit) The Ixal quests storyline is NOT TO BE MISSED.

I 100% agree that levelling crafting isn't cheap, especially if you want to power level it. But since he has gathering classes, all shards/crystals/clusters are free, so the only real cost is the materials, but again, with lvl 70 gathering classes he can gather his own materials.

I'm finally done with: BTN 70, MIN 70, Weaver 50, ALC 50, CUL 37 and CRP 50.

He can easily gather materials and shards for all his classes he's already levelled up.

If he's that broke for gil, just go mine a stack a 99 Doman iron Sand - they are still 700-900 gil each on Midgar lol.

Thank you all for responding.

As for the GIL, I have concluded that the overuse of levequest is the main reason for my financial problems.

After reading the messages I decided to work on the cross-skills you mentioned, and then prioritize GSM and CUL to take advantage of my DoL classes. I will also start working on my retainers which I thought were 100% optional.

Thank you all.
