Picking this up todayFollow

I'm kind of leaning towards gladiator/paladin after some more reading. I think I can pick up tanking in 15 levels. I don't know, I'll probably try every job available to me.

Finally got the game downloaded and got to play for about 45 minutes this morning before work. First impressions:

-With graphics on all high settings, the game looks amazing and runs ridiculously smooth.
-I chose to start as a female midlander Hyur gladiator. I don't know if this means much in the long run, but it's what I picked.
-I haven't gotten to whack anything with my sword yet, but I've ran and explored a lot of Ul'dah.
-The UI is very intuitive. I wasn't grasping for how to do things at all and I slipped into the game like it was a comfortable shoe.

Oh, and I randomly ran into Hitome in Ul'dah this morning, but (s)he ignored me. It looks like (s)he was crafting, so (s)he might have been AFK.

That would be awesome. I only got to run around about half the city this morning before I had to come to work. I'll be back on tonight around 7:30 or so. My character's name is Sofia Kashmir.

Dude, I've been posting all over the place, in like every thread and starting some new ones. My first week has been a blast. Got GLD to 23, joined the Immortal Flames, and am on my way to a chocobo mount.

I still have tons of questions, but they are mostly about the crafting classes. As a GLD I've successfully tanked the first 3 dungeons you do in story mode as well as Ifrit. We died first try on Ifrit but that was because one of our DPS didn't know to switch DPS to the nail. Second try we got him down with the quickness. I'm at the point in the main story quest now where SpoilerI'm talking to the sylphs. I'm also trying to grind FATEs for seals to get my chocobo, but I've only found a couple and there has been nobody else around to help me out with them and killing 40 mobs as a GLD takes FOREVER.

I think you can get seal faster by doing GC levequests. It's boring and repetitive but you can get your 2000 seals (or was it 3000) for your chocobo license in about an hour depending on fast you kill things (I did it as GLD and it didn't take me too long).

I'm not sure but I think that the lvl 20 GC leves for Immortal Flames are located in Camp Drybone. Hope this helps.

I would adjust your chart to read:

37-43 - Dragonhead.
43-50 - Northern Thanalan / Mor Dhona.

Ah sorry. Guess I don't always notice who is posting.

2.) You go to the actual camp for your level (see map above) and then do a quest for the Guildleve NPC. That will unlock the repeatable Leves for that area.

3.) Because of the Myth Cap, where you can only advance lvel 50 item progress once a week, the asnwer is yes. The sooner you have a lvl 50 battle class, the sooner you can get the Mythology Stones you need for AF2 equipment. Can only collect 300 per week (soon to be 450), and each week you don't gather these tomes you fall behind in potential advancement. (Someday AF2 will be obsolete, but not right now.)

The actual answer is, of course, to do whatever is the most fun for you.

I think most people just sit at 99 Leves. You can go on a huge spree of crafting and use up a bunch. You won't use then all though, mostly because you will run out of materials or play time. At the 3-hour regen rate, they just accrue faster than most people can use them.

I wouldn't spend any time doing Battle Leves right now. (There is a patch upcoming that may buff leve EXP, we'll see.) They are not completely useless, still, the group Fate areas listed above will net you better EXP, and generally, being in a FATE party is just a bit more fun than soloing Leves.

And join one of the shout parties. They're drop in / drop out and very casual, but you'll boost your exp/hour a lot and it's just a lot more fun when you're with a group.

That's a good point! Those chests are positioned so basically trip right over them on the way to the Leve objectives. Good stuff.

Yeah, you're a bit late. I already made a female midlander hyur. Already up to level 24 or 25 GLD.

I needed the chicken egg last night!!! Somebody in chat even told me where and the damn Hotel Bismarck is NOT LISTED ON THE MAP!!!!
