parties

I'm a 75 RDM so when it comes to cannons, the PT set up usually never changes, BRD RDM NIN WAR/nins and occasional drk/nin, sam, or thfs for birds. But my RL friend is a 75BST and I usually make PTs for him to join. Now he uses Life Drinker Lars which I know is really good...and he always...

I had a chance to try DNC over my 4 day weekend using my friend's computer, and I gotta say, this job seems fun. What I wanted to know is, how highly wanted or viable does everyone think this job will be for merit melee cannons? It appears to be a very viable support class for them, even adding...

How do two-bard merit parties work? What is their normal setup? I static with a PLD (I'm MNK), are 2-bard parties viable with a PLD? He has joyeuse, if that makes a difference.

Lichna - She/he ditches 3 parties I was in at Valkurm Dunes...I know it's the dunes...but...someone willing to play BRD and claim she/he is a "Hardcore leveler" wouldn't do that. Just curious, has this happened to anyone else?

WHat is yalls opinion on using Trial Weapons in a EXP party? Would you do it? why? why not? Casue when i hit 71 im thinking aboot using the Trial Axe to replace my Blue Pick( i forget the name) Would i be in the wrong for using a Trial Axe during a EXP party?

Just wanted to pose a question to everyone out there. I've been having a hard time getting parties on my Samurai and it's got me wondering, what gives? Personally I think I do pretty good damage as far as DDs go and I have war, thf, nin, rng subjobs depending upon what the party wants. Yet it...

I still haven't done many assaults, but from when I did- I noticed it was a bitch to lfg. Last night I was thinking it might be cool to be able to seek for an assault party, while at the same time be able to seek for merit/xp party. I think a great way to be able to do this is to make a new...

So this is for the people who wanna get 75 but this stupid expaation pack is going to ruin it because it is not only gonna be harder to get pts because everyone will be lvling ppm qus and blum its going to stop everything completly if you dont no all items will take bout 4x longer to by becuase...

ARRRGGGHHH Is it just me, or doe setting up a party with all lvl 66's except for the tank(64), and getting a smn who doesn't want to cure seem like a bad idea to just me?!?! Fucking slow xp(2k an hour towards the end), and the party ending with me taking a dirt nap. I'm gonna be a snob now...

is it just me, or have the average player become more lazy, self-centered, assholish and crappy? This is something I have noticed the last few days while *TRYING* to level Summoner. And today it was especially noticable. I've been seeking for a total of 12 hours, been in three parties. First...

Hello everyone, I have yet to make my char (still waiting on a WP to Quetz =/ ) but I had a question. I plan on making a Mithra RDM and starting off in Windurst, but I am worried about when I get to be around level 10 or so. I played FFXI when it first came out, for only a short time, then I had...

Dunno if anyone saw or what, I've been farming bat wings down there for the last 2 days and noticed 2 groups of what I think to be (fresh) gil sellers. Backed up by a RDM (60+ - Furyrush) powerlevelling them, most of them are in level 10 or lower gear, some even in their RSE (initial RSE)...

I am curious what people think would make up the best 3-bodied party. What I mean is, a 3-person actually going out and killing things for Fun Profit and XP. What sortta jobs would you need? What kind of Mobs would you kill? How fast can you chain? Here's my hypothesis: One Healer (whm or...

I've recently been participating in multiple parties in the Boyhada Tree. Well, our party has generally been getting counter camped, per se, by high level PT's either skilling up, or leveling their NPC. I have sent tell's before politely asking them to stop. Often I'll simply run by, hit /sigh...

Does anyone else have a hell of a time getting a party after 11:00 pm PST? I got top of the line gear and I still could wait all night for an invite. Do you have any tips for getting JPs to invite you to a party? Santoro 43/21 Monk/War

This isn't a flame on an individual, but more the reaction of whole parties in general. To start, I'm sure we've all had parties were it's well below our standard, and sometimes even, that standard varies from job to job. Maybe your standard is nothing, maybe it's 2k,3k,3.5k,4k,5k,6k or...

I've had a shitload of bad parties lately. Anywhere from how they invite to their performance. I start seeking on my 68 WHM. First party I get is with Marohaung. He actually waits until I say "yes, please" before he invites me. We end up with Maro (NIN), me (WHM), Sassy (BLM), Lizard (DRG)...

If your in a pt level 60+, level 50+ even, FIND YOUR OWN BLOODY REPLACEMENT, dont ask the rest of the pt to do it for fuck sakem you do it you lazy bastard. I always find my own replacements, why doesnt everybody? If your in a pt and you have to leave thats fair enough, but find your own...

Seeing as how the static I was gonna join got kerploded the BRD continuing to level out of the static's range, figured I'd post here and see what people's thoughts on it are. If you're starting/joining a static, shouldn't you stop leveling while you wait for it to form? I mean, isn't it just...

At some point in any, or most, jobs there is a time when the invites for a party might not come so quickly. Obviosly this is more true for some jobs than others. Granted some jobs are necesarry for the success of a pt and thus are required. However what about the less desired jobs for a pt...
