Hello. I started Nov. 5 and just finished the Seventh Umbral Era. I only have one main job, and that's Summoner.
The list below are some of the things I have learned and still don't know through trial and error to just about... yesterday. Please bear with me while I share my embarrassing moments and be patient with us Sprouts.
1. I can use Legacy and move around like a real person. I struggled so much at the very start with just moving around the map and going backwards awkwardly. I found out about Legacy on day 5.
2. Skipping dungeon cutscenes is a thing? Thank you, configuration. I can also hit esc.
3. Oh, I can target by hitting Tab.
4. Oh, I can set a keybind to Target closest enemy. Found that out a week ago.
5. Before I went into Titan for the 1st time for my MSQ, I watched a video to know how I should proceed. I still failed. Got hit with the blue line thingy in the 1st minute of entering and fell off the edge. I could have sworn I hit strafe in time. I apologized, and everyone was so nice about it I couldn't believe it. I was too afraid to ask for a rez. So I just watched.
6. Realized later that there is no rez in that situation.
7. One guy in a dungeon said return. Everybody left. I was like, where's the return button? Do I have to walk all the way back?So I timidly asked, how do I return? Oh, I need to type /return. Okay. That was neat.*That was 1.5 weeks ago.
8. Was trying to fulfill requests in Grand Company by buying the required items in the shop when I realized, I can make this stuff myself. Why are people selling them so high?
9. Wait, I have to kill mobs in dungeons to fulfill my Grand Company Hunt Log? There's a log for that? Where is it? I looked and then, oh, that's where it is. I didn't know I can click that. That was 4 days ago.
10. I recently went into a lv 27 dungeon as a Summoner and encountered level sync. It was kinda a nightmare and I was struggling since my Garuda egi couldn't do anything. I wonder now and greatly appreciate those who do duty roulette, not knowing what dungeon you'll end up in.
11. I was recently in the Qarn dungeon and tried my best to stay away from red lines and mobs and such, but one moment I'm at full health and then 0. Still dunno how that happened. My apologies to the AST.
12. I thought I had to stay and wait at the spot where I got the MSQ Duty. I don't actually have to.
13. So I can die in a dungeon and just restart after my PT blazed past me with all the mobs and go back to them by clicking yes? I was told to leave duty all this time. I figured it out by being curious and clicking yes one day, that was yesterday.
I have more but I don't remember them all right now. Share your own newb/Sprout discoveries. I try my best to read up on things. But the information out there is so much and then not enough and they don't exactly apply to a particular situation. Thanks for reading.
