Underleveled subjob

Re: Underleveled subjob

It's best to just suck it up and go for 37 BLM ASAP. This way you won't have to periodically go back to BLM and all the hassle that comes with it (holding to equipment, etc)

You'll be better off for it.

Re: Underleveled subjob

Having thought about it, I have now given up on the idea of levelling NIN, since I'm not too keen on doing all these long, and tedious scroll quests.

MNK doesn't sound too promising now. Something about limits.... can't remember.
Anyway, WAR sounds like a better choice, but there's also DRG, and RNG.

Now, I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
I'm going to level ONE JOB, and ONE ONLY for my THF! (due to too much excess build up in my inventory and moghouse) But I also like the idea of DRG, and RNG, (especially DRG) so I thought I could use one of these to level to 37/38 with. But maybe if WAR is best, then I guess I'm stuck with that.

Good luck getting to 75 then. It's going to be a long road for you if all you have to offer is /war. You can always static too.

Those NIN scroll quests are easy > - >

If you're not even willing to do those, quit right now. I don't mean to sound harsh, but there's a lot worse waiting for you in the form of COP missions and other things.

Re: Underleveled subjob

The only long tedious part about the scrolls is getting the fame, the quests themselves are easy.

And you can refuse to sub whatever you want, of course you'll suffer from invites so good luck with that. THF is a job that has trouble getting invites higher up, so if you wish to gimp yourself and worsen your invite rate even more and make other THF's look buad, be my guest. You're not hurting anyone but yourself.

All I can say is Good Luck......!

As THF you'll want to have /NIN ready at all times, both for soloing and for partying.
It's the predominant subjob of choice for any and all THFs.
Getting NIN to 37 will *most likely* require you to get WAR to 18 too, so
there goes your "one job only" policy.

Re: Underleveled subjob

It seems as though you're being a little stubborn, and restricting yourself to "ONE JOB" as you put it. Your arguments centralise around the "I don't have enough inventory space" excuse, but do you realise that after you level the job, and upgrade your gear, you can actually sell that gear back to the Auction house if you don't intend on using it again. Therefore you have no extra gear in your Mog House...

Listen to the people, they are right. Go level your sub jobs. It's good for you.

Oh, it's DEFINITELY NOT an excuse! It's a well meaning fact, and a very true one at that!

but do you realise that after you level the job, and upgrade your gear, you can actually sell that gear back to the Auction house if you don't intend on using it again. Therefore you have no extra gear in your Mog House...

Indeed I do! I have chosen WAR as my subjob.
Therefore I can probably just find enough room for extra gear, so I'm going to lvl that to 37/38 and stop there. Then sell the gear (as you have already just said) each time I upgrade, and when I don't need it, especially at when I get it to 37/38.

At one point, I did want to lvl DRG or RNG and take one of those to 37/38, but I feel they are both specialist jobs, and something which I'd probably want to go all the way to 75 with, if I took them. I don't feel they are to be taken lightly. So I chose WAR as my best bet.

Listen to the people, they are right. Go level your sub jobs. It's good for you.

Go lvl my subjob. Indeed!
WAR IS..... my subjob..... all the way to 37/38 and stop there!

Okay so the quests for the NIN scrolls are easy. That sounds fine.
But I don't like the tediousness of having to keep collecting all these darn yag necklaces for the sake of having to do the quests for the scrolls.
I'd rather not bother with that!

And anyway..... I've been gaining my fame for Jeuno, Bastok and Sandy by doing the sheep quest in Selbina, primarily so that I can gain enough fame to get the goobiebag and mog house quests done.

I have heard along the grape vine (so to speak) that the Selbina sheep quest lowers Norg fame. But that quest is my only preferred way of gaining fame for the gobbie bag and mog house quests, because it helps build fame in all 3 cities, all at once! That is my one and only best option there.

I know that it doesn't build fame for Windy though, so I don't mind doing Windy's own quests for just that one city.

But after all this though..... I do have maybe 1 or a couple more upgrades to do for both the gobbiebag and mog house quests, so when those are done and out of the way, the fame for the 4 cites (Windy, Bastok, Sandy and Jeuno) won't matter to me anymore, not once I have them completed.

So it's a possibility that I might think about doing NIN quests then.... and only THEN..... when I have completed what I have just explained.

Re: Underleveled subjob

Well, I can't really say anything about the whole leveling of just one sub. If that's really all you aspire to, then, well... your loss. So long as the one sub you have is of proper level, underleveled subs are simply intolerable.

I will say though... give it time. You say you're only gonna level just one sub, but that's what they all say starting out. We'll see how your tune has changed in eight months...




Though, you're complaining about tedium in gathering items and doing quests for money, I'm just gonna say that you should quit now. More than half of your time in FFXI will be spent raising capital for gear, much of that capital will be raised by farming, which is much like working a real job: tedious. And 99% of all quests are tedious. Oh, and don't get me started on CoP missions.

You won't just walk into every BCNM/KSNM and get the million-gil prize, it's a crap shoot. And even getting the seals for those requires time-consuming farming. If it's rigmarole you were hoping to avoid, this ain't the game to turn to.

Best advice you've gotten so far.
Being lazy about farming, doing quests and most importantly: leveling your freaking subs will just hurt. And well, if you're useless to a party you're basically wasting 5 other people's time and money.

Re: Underleveled subjob

Inventory space won't always be holding you back. As you progress through the game, you'll find that you get ample opportunities to grow it. Even without adding mules (which you might avoid simply due to the real-world cost), you can grow your pack to 60 slots, your Mog Safe to 80 slots, and your Mog Locker to 70 slots. And if you plan carefully, you can even grow your Storage space to a useable amount, and put stuff there that you don't need to access all that often.

I have the maximum size pack, Mog Safe and Mog Locker. I don't really use Storage on my main char. But even without out, I have the following sets of gear just on my main char:
- level 72 WAR gear set
- level 60 BST gear set
- level 37 NIN gear set
- level 30 BST gear set (for Promyvion)

As you grow your storage capacity, you'll find that you have ample room to support leveling a new subjob from 1 to 37. And once you hit 37, you don't have to hold onto that gear. You can sell it off, and make room for the next subjob you want to level.

Basically said that in my last post, or did everyone skip over me


Seriously, this game is a big timesink that only gets bigger the higher up you get. The rewards for it are (usually) good, but if you're not even willing to put in the effort, do yourself a favor and quit now It sounds like WoW would be better for you as it's a lot more casual and laid back compared to the challenges FF XI offers.
