  • Newbie! *waves*

    Hai guys, I've recently started playing FFXI at the recommendation of a friend (leasious ^^)

    I'm a long time WoW player, though I've dabbled in hundred of different MMOs, so the change has been fairly smooth, just have a couple of questions (I may use WoW-stuff as examples, please forgive me, but its what I'm used to atm ):

    Is there a reliable resource for class mechanics & info\quest\item info? (I'm used to like ElitestJerks for all my class needs and WoWhead for everything else xD But I do like being well versed in whatever class I'm playing)

    Do Addons exist? I like making my UI look funky :D

    I've been told macros are uber important, is there a decent macro guide floating around, or is it largely learn by feeling?

    I'll no doubt come up with more questions as I play, but thats it for now My toon is called Heonix if anyone fancies an in-game chat too ^^

    Add-ons are this way and against the rules: .:windower.net
    Keep quiet about it in-game and no one will care.

    Wiki is here: FFXIclopedia, the Final Fantasy XI wiki - Characters, items, jobs, and more
    and here: BGWiki
    and also over here: Cash Advance | Debt Consolidation | Insurance | Free Credit Report | Cell Phones at Gamerescape.com apparently that wiki is still down, ignore it.

    I'm too lazy to hunt down a good macro guide for you, but I'd recommend checking the entry the wiki has on them for a decent starting point. Also: <stpt> and <stal> are you friends. Basic rule of thumb for gear macroing at end-game is that if you aren't blinking like a goddamn christmas tree, you're doing it wrong, but don't worry about that 'til you get there.

      So are you using the 1 month trial like leasious is or are you buying the full version of the game?

        I started off with the trial, just to see how the game was, but I've since upgraded to the full version

                I'm pretty sure that counts as a comment Yyg.

                      I'm just pullin' your leg. That's the server a good number of us from the forum play on, myself included.
