Jarre Defender - adventures in Eorzea

[Jarre]

Ok many people remember my beginers guides etc. Well this really isn;t much of a beginners guide as I;m learning myself (and asking some stupid questions to but ah well)

My character is a hume and I'm on the Palamecia server with teh starting city of Ul'dah.

Starting adventures:- have a good look around the citys to get your bearings and find the Aetherite (where you can replenish your HP & more importantly MP and start Leve quests) When you walk up to it an action exclamation mark appears on teh screen, click on that to open the menu on the right and select your action. In this city its at 3,4 on the map.




Well I have spent about 2 hours today farming various creatures around the Ul'dah gates, also been wipped out by a bird that took 2657 points off me >.<

Good mobs to take on are Star Mamots first and some of the Beetle Bees, then about lvl 4/5 depending how they gauge copper Coblyns


RL]

Worth noting is the colour next to their names. (I have named them as you would know them on FFXI) blue = easy, Green = decent challange, Yellow = even match, Orange = Tough, red = Very tough / Incredibly Tough. You can see the Blue dot next to copper Coblyn in the above picture above the action menu.

Selling goods - I will do another post about all the shops here.

So I'm in Ul'dah as I type and am selling my goods to the NPC's in the Ruby Road Exchange (4/6).

Leathercraft NPC
Mammot pelt +3 = 684 gil
Mammot pelt +1 (x2) = 501gil each = 1002gil
Mammot pelt = (x7) = 456 gil each = 3192gil

Cravery (Culinary NPC)
Marmot meat = 47gil each to sell. I didn;t sell as I had 9 so was waiting for a stack I could probably bazaar near the cooking guild or use myself.

This NPC buys it at a higher price than people would from a bazaar. I approve of this.

Re: Jarre Defender - adventures in Eorzea

I was suprised aeni and sold quite a few their, the rest I have set on bazzar at twice the price of NPC's which to be honest is about 300% less than some of those bazaar people (gill sellers cough) are selling things. I mean 10k for a willow log >.< If anyone on Palamecia want to go to the market area 3rd on the list and find my Retainer "Alyson" for some bargins

One thing I will say is definatley keep checking your journal and visiting the adventure guild NPC to continue the story, just doing a few storyline quests gave me 9k and their not difficult at all and can be done by a lvl 1-5 player, plus you get engrossed in your starting cities story

Re: Jarre Defender - adventures in Eorzea

I did a bunch of low level leves with a friend today and was up to 17k gil. However, I would've been up 85K in beta. orz

Updated and updating as I walk around to pic up NPC's etc.

Story quests



Talk to the NPC Momodi at The Quicksand adventurers guild (4,6)

Here you get the story line quests and can start the first one "court in the sands" you will either keep coming back to this NPC or talking to the NPC via the NPC linkshell she gives you. Always check your journal and that quest as it will remind you where to go who to speak to etc. and give you your progress of the quest. A quick guide to this quest is here the guide is based on the Beta and I can confirm for trading the flower at the goldsmiths guild you get 2kgil instead of 1k and after escorting the dancer you get 6k gil not 20k. A note on the dancer escort quest, theirs a orange circle on the map don't go out of it as you leave the quest and have to go back to the start (the gate) to complete it. The dancer wonders all over so keep her in sight and kill any mobs near.

I am currently on the Next storyline quest "Golden sacrifices" (no guide written yet)

Retainers

Back in the Quicksand, find the NPC behind the counter called Thaisie you get to choose the race of your retainer and name it. The game allows you to own 1 retainer for free, further ones I beleive you have top pay extra on your monthly fee for.


The dunes is an area you can go into once you have a retainer for it to set up shop. Mine is called Alyson and is in the Second Syntgoht ward. You will have to find the one thats the least full to put a new retainer in due to SE limiting the number in each ward. Your retainer can only hold 10 different items up to their stack size (so far).



It can take a while for people to populate and you do have to find your retainer to click on it at the moment.

Continued...

Has anyone noticed the treasure chests that appear now and then? Got 153 gill from this one and got aa piece of cloth and some crystals from another.



I have found logging and harvesting / mining quite easy and reaped quite a few rewards. The big + about it is that the location of points are their for a set time, and it doesn;t matter (in my experience) how many people mine/log/harvest it etc. you still are able to. You have 5 attempts to get something with 4 swings per attempt for logging and mining and one swing per attempt with harvesting. The logging and mining you have to choose where to hit etc. its quite easy to pick up and you can use law of averages to try and get the item.



Had a bit of a wonder around as well and found a mine



There are quite a few mobs that don't agro, that is until you find these fire things that killed me instant >.<
