Old Player with New Account.

[Theft]

Was wondering which server would be the best for NA? And is the game more soloable now?

Thanks!

With the fields of valour and grounds tommes quests it is easier to solo up to lvl 55 now.

You'll find that all servers are basically the same.

Are you kidding me? How is that possible? And is gil still hard to come by?

Thank you guys for the replies.

Mobs are worth double what they used to be, and Field Manuals and Grounds Tomes give you mini quests, which reward you in EXP, gil, and tabs (used to buy buffs from the book and teleport you back to town) for killing the type and number of enemies. You can even set the mini-quest on repeat. Thus, you can get 3000+ bonus EXP for the quest for killing 9 Easy Prey Bloodsuckers that are only worth 5 EXP each, and storm through 9 of those mobs every few minutes with regen/refresh/protect from the book. With auto-repeat, that's tens/hundreds of thousands of EXP per hour, and as long as the mob is worth EXP it counts towards the quest, so you have groups of 18 people just steamrolling mobs together while level synced all earning bonus EXP from the quest.

Once you enter Abyssea, Dominion Credits and cruor are easily convertible to gil via sale of items to NPCs that you buy with those currencies, and you get tons of them from enemies in EXP parties and farming runs. Gil also isn't used much for the best gear for your jobs, you quest that with Trial of the Magians or get it from Voidwatch, both resulting in EX armor/weapons.

That's a good guide on what has changed and what should be your priorities coming back to the game.
