On3moresoul posted:Well, on the bright side when severs do eventually go dark, you can look forward to more SA nostalgia threads and who knows maybe even unofficial servers and clients a la Project 1999 for EverQuest. They already exist, though most are clunky and only have the first three expansions enabled. Though there is a huge push to get Wings fully put in recently. Playing with 3X Experience rates + Rings is pretty fun. Best feature so far I've seen on some servers is a fully stocked AH, players can put items in for lower prices but there will always be X item for a large price if needed.

Any deals going for character transfers?

I'll be transferring during the free login campaign next week. How does the npc party system work? I had a merc, but now I see stuff like trusts and alter ego?

That sounds pretty neat, I'm transferring a 90ish DRG which is only half way done with the first story plot. So not much to worry about.

I'm buying a sub on Monday and a transfer when the deal hits. Also picking up Seekers. I guess right now I should be working towards my final Limit Break, then clearing all the story content. I have DRG (94) RNG and DNC post 70 if I recall correctly. Can trusts be used in most areas or locked out of instances?

This is pretty much the bonus retainer slots in XIV. I honestly don't see why people are getting frustrated with this. No different than buying another character slot, isn't it?

Welp, back in as Deesan, stopped at DRG level 97. Think I'll level up SMN a bit. Can you have trusts in summon fights? Also why is Mhaura packed with people? 180 when I loaded in.

Ranger useful or competitive at all for 99+ content? Trying to decide what to play. I can work on DRG, SMN is my pet project. DNC is 70ish and RNG is 60ish.

Got my Raptor last night. Also acquired Ramuh and Ifrit, second floor for the Mog House and unlocked Bluemage. Went to get the quest for Leviathen but my faction with Tendo is too low to start the quest. Not seeing any available questsfor them.

Okay, the bug bit me and reactivated. Planning on working on Summoner, rather than just unlocking summons. Any guides that are up to date for leveling? Summoner 22 at the moment. Grinding out Blood Pact gains for Summoning Skill in Vulkrum Dunes. Also Get Out shell is very quiet, is this still the active shell?

Starting to do RoV, they really escalated the level requirements for the popped fights. Did everything up to the Escha fight on low level summoner. BAM dead. Luckily have a slightly geared 97 Dragoon. About to do the Jungle fight next. Other than that it's been a treat so far. But teleporting is getting expensive.

Paladine_PSoT posted:I hate to be all "read the loving manual" but by wiki has 100% of what you're looking for. https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Category:Dynamis I've read through it, seems like a bunch of features aren't used or half put in. Guess I should phrase it more like "is anything in it worth doing as a non bot outside of white proc for currency?" there's a poo poo ton of systems in XI that aren't really used anymore it seems. Would it be a waste trying for relics/artifacts in this system. Is there a more specific an efficient ways to do so? I saw no one for Besieged for example, looks like dead content. BCNM aren't done, at least I've seen no shouts for it. Pushing through Promathia missions to get access to Sky to do some fights I only barely touched way back when.

Also if anyone is worried about time investment just to get to high levels? Don't worry. It took me less than two hours to go from 15 to 50 with trusts. It would have been faster had I not gotten lost and ran in a circle for twenty minutes.

I still remember a Whm/Thf that hung around mid-level zones just raising people of they died. Her whole thing was "A raise in a flash!" but she got poo poo on by most LSs at the time. Never asked for money, just liked raising people. Ended up partying with her a few times in the lolDRG day since she got black listed for a while for never changing off /Thf. People in XI were lovely in the old days and stuck in the JP style of game play mindset. I remember trying to convince party members killing a bunch of EP would be faster/safer exp than killing one or two IT in the same amount of time. Promptly got kicked from that party for trying to troll. This was preWotG era.

You can do 1 to 99 solo without ever doing Skill Chains or Spell Bursts. Sam and Dancer can self chain and some trusts can spell burst.

Lion, the ARKs, Prishe, Tenzen and they could always go the Monster Hunter route and sell stuff based on armor sets instead of characters. XI has a very unique/deliberate style to it they could get away with it.

With the exception of, I think, Abyssea you can bring Trusts (NPC party members) to most content. There's a wide variety of ways to teleport through the world as well as mounts to make over world travel faster. The game respects your time more pre-99 and still has a fairly active player base on a few servers. With Rasphodies of Vanadiel you get a variety of passive bonuses as you complete it's quests that further make the game easier. I made a fresh character a while back and other than the limit breaks, which people will help you with, I got a 99/49 character in less than two months of semi-casual play. I had a few long days of playing mixed in trying to get JP midnight unlocks done. This also includes chunky cuts of old content being unlocked, like most of CoP and ToA. All mostly solo with Trusts.

Realistically, if you partner up with goons for some help you can do three expansions worth of content in 30 days. If you're powering through maybe half that. I did then first set of content and first two expansions in about three weeks. I burned out on Treasure of AhtUrgant but plan to go back to it soon. That help is for Limit Breaks and maybe opening a door for you on some quest steps. Basically you hit level 5, unlock Trusts. These are summoned party members that are your level when summoned. The Trusts can carry you through most content sans a handful of fights. Do the Rasphodies of Vanadiel (RoV) quests to unlock more Trust slots and fast track subjob unlock. Then decide where to go from there. You can also just do your main country story, do some ROV content and get to level 99 (then Item Level increase to 117) first and do story like that. It is super quick for old content now other than the occasional "wait 1 in-game day" or Japanese Midnight. Assura server goons are super helpful.
