Please help a noobFollow

Be a class that will always get you an invite. Whm are always being looked for. Since you are a galka thats out unless you are able to get mp gears. Warriors are always needed so maybe go war/mnk maybe.

Mnk works well at low lvls. At higher lvls, they don't really dish out damage or work well as a tank. Mnk are regarded by most ppl as the worst job. Very few high lvl players look for mnks. They always look for a whm, tank, then damage dealers and supporting jobs.

Rng are the top damage dealers post lvl 30. But if you really commited to lvling your goldsmith to your lvl, then you will no problem with gil issues what so ever. Just know while goldsmithing pays a lot, it takes a lot to get it up; we are talking about millions here to get it high.

Rng quest is really easy so you can get it and try it out. If you are a good ranger doing good xp chain pulls and deal great damage using best arrows and not melee often, you should able to get invites often enough.

I think people are realizing as more RNGs appear that they make great damage dealers. Lots of people are starting to enjoy having RNGs in their parties now, since they understand what a benefit it can be.

You can always just take RNG out for a spin to lvl 15 or so. If you find people that are leveling up other jobs (meaning they know what they're doing) you should find nice party experiences around lvl 12 (Hunters Longbow indeed).

Not sure if you really want to be pulling on the higher levels. I partied with a lvl 33 RNG and she pulled a few times. As a Mithra she had maybe 400 hp or so, and these things (bats/beetles in Garlaige Citadel) were smacking her for 75-100 a pop. So by the time she got back to the party and our PLD could pull aggro, she was out half her hp. Our Galkan PLD did a much better job pulling.

If you can afford the equip, bows, and arrows, I'm sure you'll find RNG to be great. Out damaging many, many other classes on a consistent basis is very rewarding. And if you're with someone who hasn't partied with a RNG before, jaws drop.

REALLY?! I pulled literally tens if not hundreds of beetles and bats in Garliage for hours...I love it there and I noticed we RNGs are far superior for pulling anything in Garliage because we can spot around corners using Widescan.

If this RNG pulled correctly, there should have been no reason to have gotten hit at all on the way back to the group...both the beetles and the bats do not outrun the puller. In fact, the holes on the floor only serve to slow down the beetles.

EDIT: Here's some tips for those who maybe pulling in Garliage for the first time. (a) don't pull bats that are situated near any of the doors to adjacent rooms; they obviously will link other bats, (b) before you start pulling, intruct your group to tell you if you end up with more then one pull, this way, you can continue walking right out to zone and the group is no worse for wear assuming they don't attack anything, and (c) if you're pulling from a far distance, turn around and check every so often because you'll be leaving some of those beetles behind. They like to tiptoe past the floor holes. Follow these tips and you'll have a 90%+ success rate there if not better. I don't think I ever died there.

I LOVE IT in Garliage heheh.

I found I had to use Scan a lot there because of the competition in pulls. If there are 3 full groups there, it becomes quite routine that there will be nothing to pull unless you wander down about 2 quadrants into the corridors. I would say I would regularly wander maybe past 3 or 4 intersections there to grab things....

But you're right...IF I got hit, I got hit for around 100 DMG. I elected to wear paperthin robes.

Just don't make it sound like a PLD is a better puller then us RNGs! Blasphemy!! :)

Hi guys, I want to thank you for all the help you've given so far, so thank you. Also, I am just about to sell my first stack of silver ingots for 24k on my server so that will turn about 7k profit for me since my friend sends me crystals and silver coins for free, (Thanks Anett!!!). But there is still the problem of leveling my character. From level 13, I really just had to bite my teeth and just do it. I REALLY hate partying in higher levels cuz of the laggy log window and laggy graphics and stuff, but I wanna know if getting to level thirty is really just anohter bite your teeth kind of things, or if there was a way to haev some fun donig it. I know I could kill osme of those gobs and steal some coins to make into ingots, but I don't know what happens where as I am still a noob in Vana'Diel so if anyone could help me further I would really appreciate it. Once again, thanks for all the great help so far!
