Do it, you'll still have the satisfaction of grinding it up to 119.

Relic is fairly easy. Can farm dynamis nonstop anymore and should at least walk out with 500 coins per run.

What the gently caress do I use to be an effective White mage? I've grouped with people who seem to be using auto-cure bots, they're just too automatic whenever poo poo happens. Are they all just using Cure Please? Is there anything else that is good add-on/plug-in wise for being a good WHM? I want to be able to do Omen and stuff like that with mine, working on a cursna set now.

Windower plugins mostly. Theres also a thing in game that shows your target's buffs and debuffs.

As for windower plug-ins try nostrum.

There are certainly people that do a lot of that, but a lot of it is experience too. Eventually you just start to memorize mobs and their skills and what to do as soon as they use a specific move.
You can also filter your logs to only see important stuff.

for anyone coming into the game again: http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/38211/ffxi-update-patch if you pick these up and install them it saves like 10 hours of patching.

Should a fresh install still be 6 hours of patching even after downloading these files, as well as the 4 gigs of files from the ffxi website? Not sure if I messed something up or it just sucks that bad.

You thinking like drk in 14? No
There's some decent crowd control classes, brd and rdm have a lot of aoe enfeebles. arguably rdm was one of the best tanking classes with ninja or pld subjob for blink shadows Eva tanking of stone skin put tanking

All you can do is turn off the yell/shouts entirely via the chat filters. There are no actual "channels" outside of linkshells and unity.

You'd need to be a bit more specific.

If that means doing stuff like AF quests around level 60, than yes skip all that crap.

I'd get the Rhapsody of White KI as quickly as possible than would power level to 70. Get the Rhapsody of Umber for easy Maat fight and power quickly to level 99 and sparks gear. A goon should be able to trash the final LB fight for you easily with a tail.

Once you get sparks gear, catch up on all your super gimpy skills and try to get into an entry level ambu group to get babys first ilvl 119 set.

With your new 119 set, go throuh and start wrecking all the missions and upgrade your stuff.
