Noob question - Better way to heal?

[Gizim]

I just started not to long ago and i started as a Warrior thinking it should be a easy way to level and learn and not manage alot of other things (I think i was drinking when i thought of it). Any way im lvl 6 now and wondering if there is a quicker way to heal my self than just sit and rest?

Not really. There are potions, but they're not cost effective. Just get signet and kill everything you run across. Don't try killing anything higher than Tough, and even that is probably pushing it. Stick mostly with even matches and decent challenges.

Sweet thanks alot sorry for the nub questions just trying to find a new MMO home

Also side question - Warrior a good pick to level with? i mean to learn about the game and all?

Re: Noob question - Better way to heal?

Yep, its a good sub for most any DD job, and you'll get to experience all the basics playing it. Good luck.

As an aside, it's also nice in the fact that you're not stuck with your job choice forever like in other MMOs; if you grow tired of Warrior, just go to your Mog House and change your job.

Re: Noob question - Better way to heal?

You are saying Sub do you mean that Warrior is not a good main job?
Also 2 more questions

1. How do you add friends?
2. If i am attacking a mob and the fight does not look to be in my favor is there a way i can "run away" and it loose aggro and not me die?
------------------------------------------
Also why sometimes do my next swings take forever to swing? Sometimes the mob gets 3 to 4 hits on me before my next swing.

As was stated, there really isn't a very cost effective way to heal yourself faster. Just take a knee and rest up. Save your money for weapons and armor.

I started the game in Jan '07. As you did, I started as a war, with the same thinking that you did. I took my subjobless warrior down to Valkurm Dunes at something like lvl 13 and started tanking. I learned the basics of tanking there from more experienced players. I also pissed some people off...but hey, that's the nature of learning something new(sh!t happens...), and Valkurm Dunes is a great place to get all the mistakes out of the way.

It won't be long and you'll have a sub job. Choose monk. :wink : I chose whitemage(I had *zero* clue). While that was fine for a little bit, I stopped getting party invites because of my subjob....unless they were absolutely desperate for a tank... Trust me...don't do this.

As far as learning the game, your going to be learning this thing for a long time. Never stop learning. Oh, and learn to skillchain...early.

Hey, welcome to the game and enjoy!!!

There is no bad main job. Well, maybe PUP in the past, but that's been fixed.

To befriend someone, the command is /befriend <person's name>

Some monsters would give up if you run too far (not sure about all), some will lose track of you if you run across water (Crawlers). In general, it's a good idea to check the strength of the monster (/check) before you try to fight one.

Re: Noob question - Better way to heal?

Ok i really need some help on this one
Why does it take so long for me to swing? I just counted it took 8 to 10 seconds on some fights for my next swing. Why?

Re: Noob question - Better way to heal?

Swing speed depends on the delay rating of the weapon you use; which weapon were you using?

Re: Noob question - Better way to heal?

Skillchains....where to start....{hmmm.}

Let's get this out of the way first, due to it being only semi-related. As a war, you have two weapons that you have a great degree of natural "skill" in. The Great Axe, and the Axe. As a war, your going to want to be keeping both of these leveled. For the moment, the Great Axe is your other best friend. Your best friend is the White Mage. :wink :

Every weapon has several "skills" associated with it. You'll gain these "skills" as your character levels up and you gain skill with the weapon that you are using. Skill chains are formed when people in your party use these skills in a specific order within a predetermined amount of time. If it's done correctly, the weapon skills will combine, giving you specific elemental damage. ....so, weapon skill "A" + weapon skill "B" can combine and create something like "detonation". Creating a skill chain = extra damage to the mob = more mobs at a faster rate = experience points chains = leveling your character faster.

Hopefully, your early levels will have a blm in there(love for the blm's...) who knows/figures out how to Magic Burst a spell for extra damage on top of the damage that your Skill Chain provided. ....while related, that's a different story all together.

I still have a very new status on the board here, and can't post you up links for weapon skill charts and skill chain charts, so unless someone would be kind enough to provide a couple of quick links, you might wish to google them. The weapon skill charts are straight forward. The skill chain charts, while a bit daunting at first, will become much easier to read with time.


*Thanks Ita. I can't provide the information that you did.

Re: Noob question - Better way to heal?

480 delay is 8 seconds between swings.

Generally speaking, higher delay weapons have better damage, while lower delay weapons have lower damage. As a Warrior, your best weapon is the "Great Axe" variety--long delay, big damage.
