I played the last one for quite some time, but it's been a while and so much is different anyhow...... (last time I was on there was before the ps2 servers shut down!)
I started 3 characters to get a feel for some different types of classes and have decided I love my Lalafell archer so I am going to stick with her (at least MOST the time). I am a bit confussed yet although I have figured out the levequests, skills, and some other "basic" stuff already (started last night, archer is lvl 13 right before maint today). There are things I can't or have not figured out yet though of course.
I don't want to overwhelm or be overwhelmed but I am going to make a list here of what I can think of that I need/want to know. ANY help is very appreciated! ^.^
(Oh and I am on Excalibur. Random server for me just because I like the name, so other than sitting in UL' shouting forever with little to no response as of yet, thought this would maybe be easier)
1. Do we get to own a chocobo at any point? Have seen the rentals and am just curious. I miss mine!!! lol
2. Any recommended class(es) to go with my archer? Also what level does this begin? How? (looked but can not find much info on anything online that makes sense, I may be missing stuff though).
3. What is the "easiest" craft to work on? I do not particularly like to do the armor making type thing, I don't mind harvesting (except the cutting trees thing made me go WOW WTH??!! when I started a botanist). Want something fairly "easy" to get into if that exists lol.
4. When should I start to REALLY worry about gear in this one? Seems a lot more costly than before so I haven't really changed much and the quest rewards were worse than the starting gear yet o.O
5. I have heard (a lot) that it is near impossible to get pt's low level now, a lot of solo til 40+, any suggestions on a good area near UL' or anything other than the daily levequests? Are guild quests worth it (I have not looked into any yet)? Can you do quests for any guild or just whichever one you choose to become part of?
Think that's about it for now lol.
Also, when I started FFXI it was a bunch of us from Everquest who jumped over when it opened and we made our own LS etc, so we always had people to help etc. And since we were there from day 1 we had to figure out everything by doing and re-doing lol. So if anyone reads this who has/is in a nice LS (mostly social, I am not going for end-game at all right now) who would like a friendly (but quiet at times) Taru ---- er Lalafell (Taru was so much cuter a name!) archer, let me know ^.^
OH one more thing! Can we at all at any time do anything with our rooms like we did with Mog Houses? I loved decorating and growing my plantsHave yet to see anything about that though.
Thank you for taking time to read this novella! And great thanks for any help or suggestions!![]()
