  • Thinking of Returning to Ramuh

    Hi all,

    Some of you might know me as Kaithran: 62 RNG, 46 BRD, crafting nut. Some of you might have never heard of me, because I quit well over a year ago. I came back for a month 6-8 ago, but I didn't stay.

    I'm bored. Bored, bored, bored. I have a lot going on in my life, but between my various appointments, meetings, classes and committees, I am bored. I wouldn't have 10 hours a day to play: Perhaps only 4-6 most weekdays. But I remember how much fun I used to have with FFXI.

    Unfortunately, when I left, I gave away an e-bow, two hawkers +1, an amemit's +1 and other valuables, so I'll likely be starting from scratch. I'd need help getting a selene's bow (hopefully I still have some friends who play and would be willing to help me attain that goal), and aside from that, one hawkers (I am VERY close to 63) and an xbow and arrows and food, as well as gloves and rings.

    I used to make my gil by crafting silver bullets. I don't know if this is even a viable option anymore. I know the economy has changed a lot since I left. But I really would like to play again. I have a few questions:

    1) What are the crafting money makers right now? Food? Clothcrafting items? Fish? Bullets?

    2) How are RNGs viewed on Ramuh? Will I get parties?

    3) I've read that there have been changes to the way food works. Is this true, and if so, where can I read more?

    4) Will I be able to effectively PT without the newest expansion? (just don't have the cash at this moment)



    Thanks for your answers in advance! While I'm glad I could give help to a couple friends when I left, I wish I had just a little gil on my character. >.<; Please, help me understand the current economy a little so I can decide whether or not coming back at this point is even feasible.

    1) What are the crafting money makers right now? Food? Clothcrafting items? Fish? Bullets?
    The people making the big bucks right now are the peope that can synth things like Puppet parts, low level gear for BLU/COR/PUP, and any new gear from the expansion, as well as all the old things (bullets/food/shehei/etc).

    2) How are RNGs viewed on Ramuh? Will I get parties?
    I've seen fewer rangers since the ranged attack patch, but they're still around and deal good damage. The new 'everyone and thier mother must play job' seems to be Warrior nowadays.

    3) I've read that there have been changes to the way food works. Is this true, and if so, where can I read more?
    Here is a great guide on somepage - http://ffxi.somepage.com/itemdb/food.php

    They also added new AOE foods that work on your whole PT, but they aren't very popular :/

    4) Will I be able to effectively PT without the newest expansion? (just don't have the cash at this moment)
    XP-Wise, the expansion is more for people near endgame, so if you're starting over you don't need to worry about it, but if you're getting your character back, you should be ok without it, but I've heard its a great place to xp, because the new Signet (Sanction) gives you Refresh/Regen/XP Bonus ^^/

    {Welcome back}~

        Re: Thinking of Returning to Ramuh

        Thanks a ton, guys! I'm at least half a year from end-game if I played as hard as I did before (probably nearer to 3/4 of a year, unless the xp system has drastically changed, too). I will be installing tomorrow, so wish me good luck! I'm sure the downloads will be killer, but I can deal. I was VERY good at my peak. There were two other RNGs I PT's with in my level range (60-65, pre-"nerf") who did equal or better damage reliably. I know I probably won't do as well now without my awesome gear, but I'll work hard at it.

        Thanks again!
