    The 400 point ones are good for exp if you're doing leves for exp around 40ish

    they give about 3-4x more final exp than most leves. I was getting like 12-14k exp and ~8k gil from finishing one and I just added it to my normal leve rotation at broken water when I had points. Of course these days everyone's got a pl...

    You can do it that way, or you can go to Main Menu > Search > Click your Name > Change Online Status to Seeking Party > Change Preferred Class.

    I think I liked being able to type /inv better. Come to think of it, is there a comprehensive list of command line commands somewhere?

    Coming back to the game and I don't have any DoW/DoM leveled. Only a lv 34ish Miner but probably capped leves. What's the best way to level the DoM/DoW? Old School ffxi party type grinding with leves as supplemental? Or should I save the leves for DoH/DoL?

    Powerleveling > Partying > Leves (solo) > Solo without leves

    You aren't going to experience much content without a DoW/DoM, so the leve usage is up to you. Gathering can net you some serious money if you wanted to cap it off though.

    Oh a side note, we should almost just make a thread for new returning players with how often it's occurring lately.

    Are all wards in Ul'duh completely full on some servers? I'm on Balmung and it seems so, unless I'm doing something wrong (just came back).

    /inv was easy because it was brainless, plus you had to go to mog house to change jobs in XI. With XIV's system you can seek on Marauder and craft on Leatherworker or chop trees on Botanist. See the difference? It's trying to help you make the most of your time is all and it is a good system given the circumstances, but is also underused.

    I assume they're full on most servers, they are here.

    I assumed this was such a while ago but someone corrected me, you can set your preferred job to MRD but that doesn't effect how it shows up in search.

    Someone would have to have their search parameters set to include your lvl XX LTW and happen to notice you have lvl XX MRD as your preferred job in order for that to work.

    Then I stand corrected. That is incredibly retarded.

    So I'm pretty screwed in selling anything on my retainer should I put it in another city? I can't imagine people bother too much with those other options of looking into other city wards when it can just be grabbed in Ul'duh? Do the wards ever get cleaned out from a maintenance or anything?

  11. #71

    Pretty much, yes.

    I don't, and I don't think very many other people look in other cities wards unless for some reason you can't find what you're looking for in Uldah.

    If you're trying to get your retainer in a specific ward just forget about it and try and get it in any ward. If you absolutely can't then you can call your retainer at a stand, which is possible in full wards, but after trying it a few times myself I find they have the tendency to despawn randomly when put at a stand in a ward that is otherwise full.

    And no, wards don't reset after maint.

    Yea they're all full, how do I go about putting her into a stand?

  13. #73

    Walk up to an empty stand and the little ! bubble comes up, pretty self explanatory from there.

    Probably should have asked this earlier, but what are the good abilities that I should have for leveling? I know Feint and Second Wind are generally considered to be two of the better ones, but what are some other examples?

  16. #76

    GLA: Sentinel and Rampart (Defence)
    MRD: Foresight, Bloodbath (Defence)
    PGL: Second Wind (HP), Featherfoot (Defence)
    LNC: Blood for Blood, Keen Flurry (Offence), Invigorate (TP)
    ARC: Quelling Strike (TP), Hawk's Eye (Offence)
    CNJ: Protect, Cure, Stoneskin (Defence)
    THM: Necrogenesis (only for magic), Sanguine Rite (MP)

    Hawk's Eye, Rampart and Bloodbath aren't as important IMO, but can be put to good use. Necrogenesis is only good for casting magic, and Sanguine Rite is good to use in a pinch if you need MP (but you have to be sure the MP you get exceeds the MP you spend, so arguably it isn't great for solo).

    I'm level 15 conj, restarted from right after beta ended, original game came out. I don't have a clue what to do, and I think I am still wearing my starter gear.

    Can someone give me a 3 to 10 point list of stuff I should be doing?

    Because I'm bored as hell, and no one responds when I talk in town.

    Try to find an LS, research your server forums and apply to those LSs that isn't endgame. It will become easier if you are able to ask people.

    Otherwise try to play other classes, see what you enjoys while getting other cross skills which will help your levelling journey. You can absically buy all starter gear by adventurer guild's NPC, lookat item bag icon on map.

    Is there any kind of free trial available to people who might want to check this game out again?

    I think 30 days comes with a new copy of the game, but other than that you missed the free trial they offered.
