Ok so Trusts. When you call them, they are your level correct? Not like Adventuring Friend that you leveled up? Who should I focus on for: Tank Heals Mage (shantotto II?) DD Wildcard

Trion is a good starter tank Shantotto II and Zeid II are great for damage Apururu or Yoran-Oran are both Unity WHMs and either is a good choice Koru-Moru is an excellent RDM for support and Ulmia is the better bard.

hagie posted:Ok so Trusts. Yup, they're your level when called. So if you gain any levels you need to resummon them to fix their levels. From personal experience and from searching online (this is by no means a definitive list): Tank: August (physical), Amchuchu (magical), Gessho (blink tank), Trion/Valaineral (not as good but easier to get) Heal: Apururu (Unity), Yoran-Oran (Unity), Cherukiki (non-Unity) Mage: Shantotto II, Ullegore DD: Zeid II, Iroha II Other poo poo: Koru-Moru, King of Hearts, Kupofried, Qultada, Selh'teus Get as many trusts as you can and find whatever combos work well for your current job setup. If you haven't yet, there are some RoE tutorial quests you can do that basically give you a handful of free trusts. Any trusts at all is better than no trusts.

If you can swing it, August is easily the best tank trust available for leveling, as he will 1 shot almost everything until like level 70.

August seems like a cool trust to have. I'm so used to trusts being relatively easy to nab, kind of surprised that it drops from an endgame event.

It's a victory lap kind of reward once you got everything else you want out of it. Plus, like I said, if he were just handed out to everyone like Trion you wouldn't ever bother getting any others until you're capped because he's the best for leveling by far (outside of XP+ buff ones). But also Sinister Reign is not nearly as difficult as it first seems, and is probably one of the better ideas they ever had for content. Ambuscade would be much better off being a random selection like SR was than being the same for a month so the only things ever wanted are whats strong against that kind of mob this time.

Amchuchu is a good tank, but August is my favorite. It took me forever to get August trust cipher. If you are on Asura, send a tell to Joobacca. I will help you do Sinister Reign or answer your question about which cheesesteak is the best in the tri state area.

Went in for an interesting endeavor last night. I hopped on my bullshit 92War and was going to see how my skill ups and all would go the old way. After getting 5 or more merits in a matter of a handful of minutes, I thought "wonder how fast I would level up. I hopped on my 26Cor, beetle gear other random bullshit grabbed from the sparks guy. Ended the day a few hours later at 70. I bought some Sparks skills for marksman, which helped towards the end because my marksmanship was already way under level. One thing this taught me was don't buy ANYTHING off the AH. There are somethings you may have to, but don't buy anything. There is even a moogle that sells loving bullets, ninja tools, and food. On top of that if you just solo in poo poo hear it doesn't matter because you are in your own trust party and I don't hear Sakura bitching that I am wearing beetle rings hagie fucked around with this message at 14:50 on May 22, 2017 |

You can level in your undies or a swimsuit if you want. It's great. You just have to keep your weapons updated. I like to keep around some decent jewelry for stat boosts on all jobs but honestly you don't even have to do that. I also like to keep the three sets of Lv78 Abyssea cruor armor just to have some relevant boosts for the higher levels.

Do I need Abyssea gear to upgrade to other armors? Like does Abyssea +2 turn into another set of armor? I've said before, I would love to not get in those zones at all.

That's what happens when you try to shoehorn something as ridiculous as PlayOnline into a more modern account system. At least they finally did away with that lovely billing cycle they used to have. You could potentially get double-billed because you decided to re-subscribe a day before their monthly billing run!

The PO ID is something like four letters and then four numbers. The SE ID is most likely a username/email address. I logged back in for the free trial and leveled two jobs from 1 to 99 and it was incredibly fun. Beat Rhapsodies and ran into a ton of NMs and finally got a Joyuese. I'm still on Quez and won't server migrate until I'm done leveling or hunting NMs. You know I had more fun over the weekend playing this old rear end game with Trusts then most of the time I've spent playing XIV in the last couple of years.

Decided to give this game a whirl again. Went around getting a bunch of trusts. Turns out I can't get Trion because I am on Sandoria 9-? mission (right before rank 10). And I can't get Shantoto (Because I think you need to do Windy rank stuff?) I guess I should take whatever trusts I have and go try out that BCNM. Or should I just level up some? I think I am at level 75 RDM.

I haven't played in like a year, but last summer I started a new character on Asura and got it to 99 as fast as possible and picked up basic trusts along the way. Life in this game is so much easier if you have at least one 99 job to gently caress around on to get stuff for other jobs. I did all Sandy Missions, Zilart, CoP and most of ToAU as a 99 BRD/DNC in Sparks gear with Valaineral, Zeid II, SemihLafina, and Apururu. Then I got bored and quit (for like the 5th time... this loving game). So yeah, get to 99 and whatever Trusts you pick up along the way and you will be able to do everything in this game you ever wanted to do up thru Abyssea.

I've been surprised at how fast things go now. 1-75 used to take an easy month. Then Abyssea made it a week or so, and that was because you had to grind to 30. Now I got to 75 in a day and a half or so, with out intense EXP ring usage. I've gotten all available "sub" jobs to 49 currently, with a plan to 50 for easy sparks. Is there something I should spend sparks on after I have bought the skill gear + 119 gear? I've spent 1.5mil getting poo poo before I realized the AH is now for specialized items and not the usual poo poo you used to buy off there. No more ammo, nin tools, food, and spells for me to purchase on AH. I've heard about buying shields and NPCing them?

If you have literally nothing else to use sparks on then get acheron shields (there's addons for this so you don't have to click anything) and then vendor them in a city you have the highest rep with for their max value. Each shield costs 2755 sparks and at a vendor you have good standing with you can make about 28k which is roughly a 1:10 ratio. If you cap sparks and dump them all on shields it's about a million gil. Not the best way to make money, but you get sparks for doing whatever you're already doing anyways so it doesn't hurt.

How does leveling with a another player work in regards to trusts? Do you join the same group or alliance and does that other player take advantage of bonuses like Kupofried in the alliance? Also still on Quez if anyone wants to hang out. Might transfer at the end. ghostinmyshell fucked around with this message at 23:06 on May 25, 2017 |

Bahamut server was 300-400 then spiked at 900 the Hangul of days I was on it recently. Asura reminds me of Bahamut in its prime, on non-prime times. My in game name is Hagie. So just look for a big pink suited Galla running around Bastok Mines No one ever responds about the linkshell, so I wonder if it is in use anymore.

Okay forgive me for being a big baby who needs handholding but is there like a beginner's guide to this game anywhere? Like, from scratch. I just got in and it's incomprehensible. Really struggled to even find the menu button (-, really?) let alone actually managing to get anything done  I know this is a pre-WoW MMO so I wasn't expecting hotbars or anything but I'm completely lost already.

This seems like a decent enough starter guide. Also the playonline website has a Play Guide of unknown quality. https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxi/comments/6bqp36/quick_faq_for_all_the_newreturning_players/ And what's your in game name? I can try to get you a pearl for linkshell chat and maybe people can answer questions there
