Default Ehh... I'm getting sick of the walking

If there is one thing pissing me off about FFXI, it's the walk from Bastok to the Valky... The walk is so bad that I'm thinking I may lvl up straight to 20 with MNK so I can go to Jeuno and get my Chocobo licence.

Do you think this would be wise? Or should I request help on this tasK? Also, once I get the Chocobo would I still be able to ride it at low lvls?

You only have to walk back when you need an armor upgrade, which will happen maybe once while lvling there.

True...

man, being in Valky last night opened my eyes... MNK is damn disrespected at lower lvls. I was very VERY lucky to be getting in such nice parties the first week of owning the game. Last night I sat there for 2hrs (while doing HW in real world) waiting for an invite. Absolutly nothing.

Then I acctually took it uner my own power to send a /tell to all the party leaders... Most of them said they were full (one turned around and shouted that he needed someone, freaking liar ), some said they had an open spot wanted a WAR/WHM or BLM instead... and the higher lvl guys can grasp the concept that having a lower lvl person in your PT only hurts the lower lvl persons exp and nobody else's.

You were right all along DM, I would grow to hate that place lol.

I'm not going to go straight to 20, I'll lvl WAR to 10 first... but then I'm getting my Chocobo licence. I think I may change my job before I grow to dispise the people around me even more. (I'm not sure on that though). At the rate I'm going I'll be pissed off enough to become a beastmaster, lol.

are you serious?

*passes out*

I'll be on ALL night tonight, and I better get 18, even if that means farming sheep in the highlands for hours by myself lol. I made good friends with a high lvl WHM who power lvls people around the drunes... I don't think I'll ever turn her down for a party again lol. (we started power lvling three times, and each time some party comes with perfect timing and invites me lol)

I noticed that there are a lot of damage dealers out there and not as many tanks and healers... My patience may be getting the best of me, but I think I may have to switch up to one of the two. (and sense young PLDs are getting quite popular... may have to be a mage).

Do you think a RDM/WHM would be easy to lvl? (when it gets to around yout lvl too)

I went a whole weekend without a single invite to a party. Left my guy seeking in Jeuno while I did stuff in the real world. I hated the game so much then I wanted to freakin shoot it out the window. But sh*t happens, it's not always that bad. If I wait over an hour now I'll just make a party, that usually works, but since I'm so lazy I hate being leader.

Well if your going to be a mage yes it will be easy for you to level up faster than normal. And since you want to be a RDM you will be loved at level 41 because you will have Refresh its a RDM must have spell. You might also want to start looking into getting Dispel(70k) soon its another RDM must have spell. There is one more spell Im sure you would like to have, Phalanx, but Im not sure if you will be able to afford it when you can use it since its about 150-170k. Have fun Being a RDM you wont have it as hard as us Melee to get PTs
