Ok so......you guys get the drill.

Here I am in the dunes, my feet are burning, everyone is getting aggroed and dying around me, pigs are being slaughtered, rabbits are being skinned, and babies are crying.

Ok, so I join 3 consecutive parties in a freaking row, and they are all so god damn miserable that I die 1-2 times in each one. Ok so by the time I'm done with each pt I am either breaking even on exp or getting more taken off than what I had in the first place.

I am not going to name names, becasue if I do they are going to come back saying OMG DATS NOT TRU UR JUST A LYER AND UR MOM IS A L337 H4X0R AND GH3Y!!!!!!!!11111111oneoneone!

The worst party was with a leader who was ninja/thf, so all he did was do moderate damage, his only job. Then after some crappy exp the blm says "ummm can we take a break, I'm hungry brb 10 minutes, feel free to kill things while I'm gone" OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!!! Then he comes back, and a goblin does 2 bomb tosses, a critical hit, and a goblin rush. So I die.

Another bad pt was actually a decent set up, but with 2 rdms, whm, and summoner you would expect the rdms to nuke a little...but the only thing that was casted was cure. So me and this other war whack at this crab for a good 4 min, barely living. Then one of the redmages DECIDES to nuke, but instead of the snipper he casts stone on a leech. YAY, the leech scores a critical on me while I'm resting with 4 hp left. ALL FUCKING RIGHT!!!! So 3 other people die, and its rape all over again.


Wow the dunes fucking sucks ass because all these fucking n00bs who don't know how to play shit. Every party that is formed in the dunes is an insult, no, a slap in the face to society. Society loses in every party in the dunes. Humanity is punished in every party in the dunes. (yes there are some good pts in the dunes, but there are as many good pts in the dunes as there is testosterone in Michael Jackson.)

I should have done what Lewis Black once said about the Super Bowl Halftime show featuring Nsync, Britney Spears, and Aerosmith: "Its a good thing I had a spoon with me, because I should have shoved it up mya ss, because if I am going to suffer that much, then it is going to be ME who causes that suffering, NOT THEM!"



FUCK THE DUNES, I WILL NEVER HAVE TO SUFFER THROUGH THAT TRAVESTY OF A WASTELAND EVER THE FUCK AGAIN IN MY FUCKING LIFE.


WHEW! I'm done! :twisted:
 
I love the dunes, it's like rent-a-party, takes a minute to get to some others. And I normally have decent-good parties there lucky for me. I happen to think the jungles are HELL, I hate that damn place.

Tip for the dunes, don't be too serious with who you invite, but your tank should be with a subjob more than anyone for the experience,hp,str,dex,vit. And get a blm in all your parties, or try a rdm nuker. The difference between a rdm and blm nuke at this level isn't that big, just the spells they have access to.

First of all, for some reason, I always have awsome pts in the jungles. I just got lvl28 today after an hour of partying.

Second of all, I was the main tank, and my sub was fully lvled, I had the best gear I could afford possible, and we had a blm in our pt already. LOL.....
 
I'm almost in the dunes again for the 5th time!!!
I was in L.T.Plateau as a BST. I was in a party with this real ass-hat
named "Mad Sheep". It was just me and Mad Sheep. We found a juicy
goblin to pick on. I walked up to it and ordered Mad Sheep to attack.
Then I started attacking to.

Well, The goblin was doing serious damage to me. I started looking around
and NO MAD SHEEP. Somehow I survived the fight and found this fucker
was stuck behind a tree about a mile away. Stupid chicken-shit sheep!

Then he gets all pissed at me later on and starts attacking ME.
I booted his ass right then and there with a few whacks to the face with
my axe. God that felt good.

/end rant

For all of you who hate the dunes, here's a little something from Allakhazam:

>.< You know what's even worse? Trying to get thf to 15 and no one will give me a fucking invite, or even if they do it's for a shitty ass party that disbands 2 minutes after I accept or the leader is pulling whenever she is ok to fight but the rest of us aren't.

Sorry, run-on sentence, I know. But honestly, give me a fucking invite, i've been soloing out in the highlands since lvl 10. Currently at 12 and I fucking hate having to waste all my money on Mithkabobs (Because Chiefkabobs are so fucking expensive now and there are never any for sale) and Bone Arrows (600g a stack, 3-6 stacks per lvl since I like to spam them). So you know what, if I have to solo to 15, the first thing i'm gonna do is sit at the Dunes-Selbina zone with my 30 mnk, and not help anyone. I'm just gonna stand there picking up daisies singing, "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch."

Sorry, bad few nights. I just want to get thf to 15 so I can save up for a wedding, republic aketon, and the lvl 40 "ouch" for monks including the Ochiudo's Kote.

I went through the same deal. I just solo'd my thief in Ghelsba to 15. Made a small fortune in gil drops and firecrystals too.

Try leveling whm to 10 with no sub, with just a stupid little onion rod. That was hell. Hitting for 1-3 dmg if you're lucky. Whms do have the advantage of invites post 10, but god, those first 10 sucked like no other.

I remeber that, luckily some nice high lvl saw me strugling and bought me a hammer (don't remeber the specific one) and that made it easier.

I also remeber starting fights then realizing I was in over my head and running away only to get /t's from people saying "Stop I'll voke it off of you" while I'm thinking "hmm, if I stop it'll catch up and get one hit before they voke, 3 hp left, no thanks". If I was already out of the mobs range I just kept on running.
 
Pfft. Whm is a very easy job to solo if you know what you are doing, yes, very hard if you are a newbie but easy otherwise.

Here's what you need:
Orange Juices(However many is up to you)
Pole equipped( +1 preferably)
Correct gear for your lvl(HQ if you can afford it)
Pie (Pumpkin, Rolanberry) or Orange Kuchen (+75 mp, sorry 1-15 i'll take +75 mp over +int) or Roast Mushroom

From there, you fight easies the entire time. Yes, easys. 1-5 you can get in 30min-1 hour, 5-7 30 min.-1 hour, 7-9 1 hour-1 hour 30 min.

That's it, that's all. Honestly, it goes alot faster with blm because you can take on decents as well.
 
true if I had it all to do over again it would be easy, but I was just a lowly newb, and only had 50 gil to my name.
