    <All Servers> Looking for an Abyssea LS that do EXP PT's

    Hi, my server transfer is available on Sunday 17th April and just looking to hit LVL75 on all jobs. Currently have 6 jobs at 75 (PLD, DRG, THF, MNK, BLM, SMN)
    Reason being I want to finish off all my Xbox Live achieves because I am an achievement whore lol.

    I'm EU but I have quite alot of free time during the week so I can run into NA times. Lastest being probably 5am GMT.

    I played from 2004-2010.
    I have just come back to the game after a year not playing and havent done any Abyssea tho but willing to learn.

    If you have any tips to share, please do so.

    I will transfer on the 17th April to any server (Currently on Quetzacoatl)

    Why don't you just try shouting for Abyssea parties in Jeuno? If you make the party yourself, no one will mind if you leech. And you don't even really need a particular setup - just a few BLMs, a few WHMs, some DDs and at least one or two decent pullers. I would think it's not worth paying $25 to transfer just to get EXP a little bit easier. The common places are Bluffaloes in Abyssea - Uleguerand (Conflux #5) and Sand Sweepers in Abyssea - Altepa (Conflux #8), with anything from solo to 18 people depending on how fast you want it to go.

    Seeing as how you haven't done Abyssea before, your first task at hand would be to flag all the cutscenes with Joachim and whatnot, click each Maw, enter each zone, and get some of the common Confluxes (this does cost a small amount of Cruor, however). Then you can start building EXP parties until your heart's content.

    About the transfer, I just wanted to see what offers I got.

    Is it best to have all zones open before hand? and since I will be new to this, how would I get some Cruor if it is needed to get Confluxes?

    Oh and is it 500 Cruor for 1 Forbidden Key?

    Visions zones aren't used for exp often but are used for Empyrean upgrades and a handful of great Atma (eg Voracious Violet, Allure).

    Scars zones are pretty meaty, giving you a host of incredible atma (eg Gnarled Horn, Razed Ruins, Minikin Monstrosity) and are still used for exp occasionally, but largely for cruor parties (which will still give you exp, but not as the focus).

    Heroes zones are where the majority of exping takes place and should probably be your top priority.

    You'll need some means to getting your first injection of cruor, which'll either be finding some friends who'll take you in (difficult if you come back to nobody) or simply making a party of your own who won't care if you're not doing all that much. After your first injection, it's pretty easy to stay afloat on Cruor. And yeah, it's 500 Cruor for a key.

    Interesting. So first off I will need to buy them, get cutscenes then collect 3 stones before even thinking of starting.
    Do you think I could LFG on one on my 75 jobs to get Cruor? Will that not be easier to get into when starting off new?

    Yeah, you'd probably manage especially if that 75 is a mage.

    Considering how goddamned horrible 15/18 people in an alliance tend to be; Not really. However most of the time you're going to endup as the one dragging an entire alliance up by simply not being retarded.

    Most my R/E i accumulated over 6years and about 4 of them yrs were endgame events. I should be fairly fine with equipment then just for getting back into it and starting Abyysea as a nub lol

    So basically you want an LS to get all of your jobs to 75 so you can get xbox achievements and quit, okay.
