I've been on and off with FFXI since 2004. Since then, I have lost, gained and even had accounts banned. Even so, during these online adventures, I had some idea of what I wanted to do. What to aim for and to achieve. I feel overwhelmed at the moment. I have so many things in my mind and I don't know where to even start with the game.
I am asking for guidance, I'm not sure what steps I need to take to progress my self. I currently do not own the Seekers expansion since I feel there is much more to do and my character would not be accepted into end-game / group based events.
Essentially, aside from the level 75 era and where I was up to date with the game and content etc. I started a fresh account in 2010. I have been very busy and away a lot for work. I tallied up 40~days play time within 4 year essentially.
What I have to work with
- 99 RDM - not full merits / all purchasable spells / appropriate SJ
- Sparks equipment + Assorted AH sets (Fastcast/Stoneskin/-PDT etc.)
- CoP complete
- Rank 4 (need to get to 6 at least)
- Two beneficial Atmas: MM and whatever PW gives
Content is huge and I don't even know where it all fits with how the game has evolved. I'm already behind with Seekers expansion and don't want to miss any remaining opportunity to experience it.
There is so much to do with FFXI and I need help paving a path of what I should do and miss at this point in time.
I don't even know where to begin with equipment. I'm so lost, I don't know what's what or where to get anything. I know Dynamis is now soloable; questions like is it beneficial to farm for armor or just do it if you are working for relic. I don't know.
I don't even know what else there is, meebles? Monstrosity, salvage etc. I don't know what the go is anymore, if it's soloable now, changes, or if it is even needed.
I've attained a lot of stones for Abbysea and lucky enough to find a shout group I could join for an Atma run in my short bursts of playing. I haven't found any of that since I've just started again and was thinking if I need to make a second account just to dual box to experience and complete content in general. Also, is it even worth my time digging through Abbysea at this stage for equipment or should it be something to put on the side to work on and just use it to get some solo EXP.
A heads up is what I'm needing and a point and nudge into the right direction. What to focus on and what to add to the to-do list etc.
I'll start the list by adding
- Get full merits; (Where do alliance EXP happen now? or am I just logging in at the wrong times GMT+10 )
