If you need to create a character on that server, might be a good time to take care of it now.

I think so. It is mostly just a reskin but it has a neat bone crest attached to its head, and the recolouring of everything else makes for a cooler look imo,

If expert roulette counted, you'd see a lot more of the tank mounts around. Things that count:

- Extreme primals
- Coil and savage coil (except turn 3)
- Alex and savage alex

Probably your best bet for passively going after the tank mounts is normal alex, with the occasional unsync pony farm or 8-tank unsync turn 4 to go at it more actively.

The large scale leves at the 58 area are going to give around 150k a pop. If you have someone who is level 60 to run in with you to just clean poo poo up, you can clear a lot of experience fast. You are still nowhere near getting the amount of experience you would if you were to do individual ventures, but you still get a drat big chunk for not much of your time if you have a ton of extra to burn.

So I'm level 15ish in various classes now and my bags are full of randomly dropped mats and fish. I've tried crafting and while the system is better than any other MMO it still doesn't seem worth it to level, is there any chance I will regret vendoring this poo poo? Or is it easily purchased or farmed if I ever decide to craft in earnest?

Diremite webs are worth a good chunk of gil, but just about every other drop at that level is buyable from a materials vendor in the FC house

Look things up on the market boards to be sure, but most of that stuff is generally so common that it doesn't sell for more than you'd get from a NPC vendor because it's so common

In general anything like that, which is randomly dropped below L15, is going to be available for purchase for pennies from city or housing NPCs.

A good thing to do as you're levelling, whenever you want to clear your inventory, is to head to one of the city markets and find the bell for your retainer. When you're in the window to put things up for sale you can check the price history of anything you might want to sell letting you decide right then to keep or MB stuff or just sell it off to an NPC just a few steps away. It's faster then manually searching for prices in the market board.

http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Material lets you tell what is and isn't available from a vendor. In general though, anything that comes from above a level 15 mob/gathering point/etc.. won't come from a vendor. There's exceptions that tend to come from the beastmen vendors, but they're not available until like 42 or something.

Get to 17 and you can unlock retainers which give you extra storage space and the ability to sell stuff on the MB. It's worth selling even low-level crap at times because people will pay 500g each for something you can buy for 5.

They should lock dungeons until players do the job class quests that are available in that level range.

You got me beat. My worst experience today was Tam-Tara with a tank who pulled 1-2 mobs at a time, and cleared every side room, while the healer cast cure every 5-10 seconds. Longest 30 minutes of my life.

I play mgsv for a week or so and this is the archeage thread? Also, its the EYES you morons. Disproportioned eyes indicate that a character is a child, which is why the jrpg genre is disturbing (no matter the quality of the particular game) and freaks who dig the character models are probably on that FBI watch list.

Nope. Vendor that poo poo or do enough of the main story quest to unlock retainers so you can bank all this garbage you should vendor anyway.
