Sooo I'm pretty much on a good pace to be a mentor by the end of December as I'm only 200 some odd dungeons and 26 levels away from becoming a mentor. Now I'm already quite aware of the lore surrounding mentors but I've seen quite a few mentors that not only play very well but give solid advice as well. I'm sure I'll find my way eventually but if you are a mentor, could you spare me a few pointers ^-^

1. As a mentor, do you tend to focus on one particular area in this game or do you try to broaden your horizon? For example: Some mentors specialize in raids while some have never touched that type of content and only focus on dungeons; some even specialize solely in crafting and other non combat roles.

2 Do you tend to point out if someone is not geared properly? I ask this because I had an instance where I as politely as I could suggested that the tank get better gear after the instance we were in. Well to say he didn't "appreciate" that would be putting it rather lightly. This to be honest has been hit or miss so far and I really only pay attention to this when I roll healer.

3. Do you watch/read guides and try to somewhat "memorize" different instances so that you can better coach our lovely sprouts?

4. Are you level 70 on every job including crafting/alchemy?

I just want to be the best mentor I can be and not fall in line with the current stigma attached to that crown. Also if there is a guide or something, feel free to link that as well. Ok thanks ^-^
