NINJA

This thread is a compliation of FAQ's and Guides written by Alla Ninjas in order to assist new and veteran players alike. Many of these topics are repeated topics that hopefully will be referenced and avoid having to repeat ourselves quite so much (yeah, right). Anyway...this thread is for you and ... (you, so if there are any suggestions, recommendations, criticism, insults that you'd like to post, please do so and all will be given proper attention (I'll let you figure out how much attention the insults will get :p).

FYI...I have not completed the work I wanted to do with this quite yet. There are a few more posts that I want to include such as the Fomor Soloing and there's another AF guide I know of...along with grouping things within' topics a bit more. But I wanted to get this out so people can help find any good topics they'd like to see included :) I'll have this done by end of the week hopefully :)

That's actually one of the reasons I wanted to do this actually ;) I remember that thread and wished it was the main NIN/mage FAQ, but was never updated :)

Thanks!!

Done, everyone voice your support (or flames) in this thread in the Feedback Forum.

I have gone onto the forum and bumped it, come on ya'll..... the old one hasn't been updated since Sept!!!!

Unless we get it permanent with someone who is on the ball were just gonna have more and more repeat threads.

No offence to the original Thread maker...... but Sept????

Sorry for the delay getting back to you...

I've heard via Killing Ifrit's NIN board that you can no longer use the same strategy to solo the NIN Fomor. In a recent update they changed the placement of mobs in the Aqueducts, and in doing so they added another Fomor to the room you kite. Basically kills the ability to do this anymore :(

Hope you are able to get this thread to replace the old one, which I got too lazy and no time to update (sorry to all the other NIN's and readers out there, my apologies).

If a mod is to read this, I would like for them to take down the thread I started and have this one in place of it.

Thank you guys...I'll try to work a bit more this week on this. A few more things I'd like to incorporate :) Please post any additional links you'd like to see :)

I'll see if I can find something that's written up well. I tried to go through each former thread and grab those useful ones, but it's very possible with so many that I missed a few.

Honestly, there's some stuff I wanted to add here anyways, so I'll do that soon :)

thanks alot for the links, helping me alot.
