[FF11] Just a warning about cancelling

[Elidrin]

A list off the top of my head of things you would need to watch out for on the way to Mhaura.

Yagudo anything (bird men, this should be the only thing that aggros outside of undead before you get to Buburismu)
Goblin anything (like Yagudo, these are sight, so you can run behind them and they won't aggro)

Those are really the only two things that aggro I think.

[Man0warr]

Pretty small, as the amount of exp you get is based on what the mob cons to the highest player. So say you have a level 13 in your party - your level 10 and that goblin cons Incredibly Tough to you, but only Tough to him, so the party gets exp based on it being Tough.

You can get signet in other areas, plus it lasts a long time. Use /rmap in game, Windurst might control the Valkurm area, in which case you can get signet from the guards there.

Also, what is the max level spread for groups to exp together?

Generally you don't want to be more than 2 levels apart I think? The problem really becomes, what does the monster con to the highest level in the party? Your xp really tanks when you got one guy way ahead of the rest of the group.

I have seen people mention these worms a few times now. Is it a viable way to exp? what con can I fight them at and what tactic to use? what zone are they on, etc. Any info to help would be great!

I wouldn't recommend it for a new player, blm can solo to 70+ but you have to know the class and the game really well plus you have to spend alot of money on medicines and stuff. You should really group as much as possible to learn the mechanics and magic bursting and stuff.

I wouldn't level blm past 18 or 37, if you plan on using it as a subjob. BLM have a really hard time finding PTs past 50 these days because mobs in ToAU have alot of abilities that make BLM really bad to level on. Spell reflect, or just flat out resistant to spells. Most PTs past 55 are melee burn, as opposed to mana burn PTs that were common in the old days.

So I just got the Vana'Diel 2007 Collection and was wondering if my free 30 days will be added onto my buddy trial I was given? I'm only level 10 so the cheapass in me wants to make another account, send over all my gear to them and start over if that's not the case

Bongk let me know when you are going to be online, and I will come to Windy and run you up to the dunes (the first time is always a little daunting). Thats what one of the guys in the LS did for Vithe. Once in the dunes you can set your bind point there. Trust me you are going to spend alot of time there. Vithe is offline for a few days, so depending on your schedule hopefully you can catch up with him and then knock out the subjob quest all at the same time.

I am scared now after reading that BLM doesnt really get groups above and that melee dominates. I really don't want to be a healer, was wanting to blow things up. Maybe I should reroll to something not taru and more melee oriented. /sigh

[Ham n Cheese]

I'm level 10 too Bongk, would be cool to group up. Just registered my expansions so hoping to get some good play in now

[Man0warr]

I'd say play a blue mage, but its an advanced job so you gotta level thf to 37 and eventually nin and whm to 37 as well for subjobs. I'm a taru blue mage and I love it

[Vithe]

Blue Mage does sound really awesome, I definately want to check them out someday.

I can't wait until my move is over and we can all get together and do some rapeage.

[Erinye]

Still can't seem to find either Bongk or Nihilist online. Who else here is on Fenrir? Look me up, names Erinye. Right now I'm out in the dunes with my 14 Thief. Looking to get in on some of this linkshell action and start groupin up with some of you all.

[Grizzlebeard]

Bongk, try a red mage. You get to nuke shit, melee to an ok level, and once you get Refresh, a really nice mana regen buff, you'll never ever have problems getting group invites. Coupled with the fact when you sub ninja you will be the supreme solo machine in the game.

Also, from what I recall, with the exception of undead, only out at night, all the mobs between Saru and Mhaura aggro to sight. If someone either escorts you or mails you a few Prism Powders you should be ok to make the journey. Just don't go wandering out on the ferry decks because at that level you will die so hard it's not funny.

For Basty people, another really nice area to exp if you don't like the Dunes is Korroloka Tunnel. It's worm paradise in there and supports a few different level ranges of party. Windy wise, the Maze of Shakrami is a nice zone to exp in if you can find a party or a few friends to go in there with.

My name spelling is the old way: N h i l i s t the Nih was just for EQ2, the spelling is a throw back from EQ1 putzing the correct spelling by saying it was a religous term so I did my own work around and it has just stuck...but anyway I will be on tonight and I will look for you as soon as I get on. See you soon.

Red Mages don't tend to nuke much FYI. Shit, at level 75 outside of soloing VT's; I can barely damage any monster I deal with with my nukes and I have near all elemental+ gear avaliable along with Max Elemental Merits.

Also, make sure you are typing /sea name all. Otherwise you're just searching for that person's name in that zone if you forget the all.
