Stuck in main quest line due to lack of groups

[Procsyzarc]

I started playing a few weeks ago and really liked the game. I live in Australia so picked the closest server being Japan (ANIMA) to try out the game until Australia servers come out.

I have been progressing well and had no issue using duty finder to progress. I have now hit the wall my next main quest line is Good Intentions but in order to progress i need to complete a number of 8 man trails. After days of waiting in queues with duty finder and groups never coming I did some more reading and learnt these aren't part of the roulette and its better to use party finder. I have started trying to use this but as i don't speak Japanese it is hard to tell which the groups and for and when i check trial tab there is never any that i could join anyway. I have tried making groups but never had a single person join let alone close to a full group.

People have mentioned they can be soloed at 80. I am currently 113 ilevel and L57 on Paladin but can't really progress more since i can't progress the story.

Really not sure what to do, is there anyway to get past these solo (I read something about a NPC party) or a better way to find groups that i am missing.

Happy to find a free company if that ends up being the only answer but i wasn't going to since i don't speak Japanese and will be leaving the server anyway once Oceanic opens. So it would make me feel like a mouch trying to get a free company to help me get through this road block.

Did you try expanding your language options? Being on a JP server, having J selected would probably be a big help, and even just having all of them.

There's an auto translate function in the game. When you're typing you hit the tab key to bring up options



You can do that in the /shout chat as well as searching for what instance you need help with with the auto translate function as well

Edit: There's also doing what Violyre said

When you open up the duty finder there's a gear in the upper left corner

Make sure you choose all 4 options when queueing for anything for the best queue time

Thanks for the advice i will try those things.

Just got into the first two in minutes so it looks like that was the fix, can't believe it was that simple.
