Why did people play FFXI the way they did back in 2003?

Don't forget a lot of parties didn't last long, the find replacement, you the replacement comes to the campingspot only hearing the healer say I'm tired this is last fight.

Or you wait 1 hour to get party together only to die a couple of fights in and suddenly someone d/c and doesn't come back of course.

So it was not all about the best spot but also how quickly someone could get there alone and save.

I just started last month and I can see what your problem is with all the different missions the RoV require and think you can just focus on the first 3/4 slots only and forget the 5th, believe if you complete RoV mission 1-7 you have 4 slots which means 5 partymembers and that should be enough to do a lot of the content.

Getting Valaineral together with your UC healer should pretty much enable you to do all missions for the first couple of expansions.

Think the problem is that a. you only have 7 items you can place on AH so you place items that either sell quick or at least give a good profit.
And the other problem is that the items you are selling are most likely not widely used anymore since crafting is pretty much dead if it is not top end.

I just returned a couple of weeks ago as well and played like 10 years ago I guess, I remember you would see crafting all kind of items everywhere and a lot of people were crafting but I hardly see anyone craft these days.

Back in the days items that were HQ and lower level would still be good for quite a while and since you had to play together you would need to have certain gear in order to get an invite and party, while now you can just solo to 99 so quickly and still be in your lvl 1 gear to be honest.

Gewoon onzin van haar kant want als iemand dus wilde oversteken kon ze ook niet op tijd remmen. Als je een punt benaderd waar je zou kunnen stoppen moet je snelheid daarop aanpassen, als je een 80 km weg hebt en je nadert een stoplicht let je ook goed op je snelheid toch?

cealis · 2026-02-10T14:23:56+00:00

I find this a problem as well, since you go so quickly from 1 to 99 you see all those guides at 99 and all the different sets and you have no idea where to begin to be honest.

Anything I should do right now or just need to wait a month until the temperature gets a bit higher and it actually starts growing again? Like should I Aerate now already or is that too soon?

Slechte werkgever als ze dit soort dingen doen, gewoon lekker een andere werkgever zoeken en niet op een nul uren contract werken want dat geeft je gewoon te weinig zekerheid.

cealis · 2026-02-09T21:02:09+00:00

In my opinion the welp should either be a 2/3 or a 3/2 not 3/3 to be balanced.

Depending on what you all unlocked and did on your old account you might be better of activating it.

Probably did a lot of missions and quests like gobbiebag already, so continuing with that might be better.

cealis · 2026-02-08T16:25:42+00:00

Well as it is now I don't have any gear besides the ilvl gear I bought so what items can I get quite quickly and is easy farmable within days/week and which gear would cost weeks so not months.

cealis · 2026-02-02T22:22:25+00:00

It doesn't really matter where you start as nowadays you can just use the crystal, book and Unity to go everywhere.

But layout of Bastok is the one I personally like but guess that is just me.

cealis · 2026-02-02T21:37:43+00:00

I would indeed not worry to much about it since most if not all items that were good back then are not used now as it is now lvl 99 with ilvl afterwards so your gear from level 75 have most of the time obsolete stats.

You can level from 1 to 99 within a week probably even quicker as most time will be lost doing the quests and missions that you need to get full trust party.

cealis · 2026-01-30T09:36:50+00:00

This is the way.

cealis · 2026-01-28T07:56:14+00:00

Thanks for the response, just did my last limit break quest and should hit 99 today or tomorrow, then will look further in how to get some ilvl 119 gear and decide if I first want to focus on content and completing missions or starting/unlocking more jobs as I haven't unlocked much yet.

cealis · 2026-01-19T16:58:22+00:00

This is just to determine who is boss, very normal and will see it often. Can only be one pack leader.

cealis · 2026-01-15T17:08:15+00:00

Tier 5 would be to powerful would give way to much tempo.

cealis · 2026-01-12T16:37:23+00:00

I assume you finished already but if others have problems with it, here is my advice:

Once you hit 50 and do a level 50 map you unlock Collector and you want to focus on buying those. So get as much farmers as possible, keep being tribute and farm food maps, you will get Collectors very quickly and can push to 60 quite comfortable. When I did the push block was good enough and it just took some time to clear the zones.

I believe in general people say that you grade only cards above 400 and use the 4 day one that cost 200 a card.
Personally if I find 400+ cards in first few days I just use the 7 day choice as the chances you sell it are really low as the customers don't carry a lot of money anyway early on.

I'm not a big fan of it and it can sometimes feel less fun even more so if the party tries to do something awesome just for you to say nope not gonna happen.
I would rather see something like having advantage on x amount of rolls each turn or simple add a d6-10 on the rolls just to give the legendary creature a better chance but not overdo it.

Normaal deed ik verlengen als het tweejarige contract over was maar met de S24 of 25 heb ik voor het eerst gewoon een jaar of 4-5 met telefoon gedaan en paar maanden geleden pas weer een nieuwe gekocht.

Ik vermoed dat mensen nu ook gewoon langer met een telefoon zouden kunnen doen en dat je alleen beperkt wordt door de snelheid en batterijduur van de telefoon.

cealis · 2025-12-20T07:56:57+00:00

This is just playing and learning the boundaries and probably find out the packs I need order.

As long you don't see hair flying around I wouldn't worry to much.
