Meh I figured why not start one of these. So then, what job are you currently in the mood for leveling and why?

Me? I'm doing COR at the moment, and have it at 35. I'm doing it so I can become the highest COR in my LS (Only COR at the moment, so that helps >.>) but also I love the jobs potential, and the way it plays out. Just a few tweaks I'ld like to see, but over a fun job. Now to just get me money so I can keep getting ammo to use. T_T

I haven't been playing much at all, but I decided to take BLU up. Been fun so far, learning spells hasn't been much of a problem at all. They really are a powerhouse at most levels it seems.

DRK, cos I sub it for BLU... And BLU should level soon, so I should really train DRK...

Qufim SUCKS though, tons of people are going to Yuhtunga earlier these days, I might just solo DRK to 24 and go to Yuhtunga :(

PLD lvl 32 (2.1k tnl)
Im subbing WAR with it too but that jobs only lvl 30. So my PLD is good till, at least, lvl 60! :p

heh...right now I am trying to lvl these jobs up to 15. All of which are between 10-15.

RDM
WHM
DRK
DRG
THF
RNG

the only problem is which one to choose to get a pt at the dunes :cry:

Ouch!
09-15-2006, 04:25 PM
I've been putting off leveling lately, but this weekend I'm jumping back into the grind on RDM. Finally got myself a penitent's rope, and once I get my AF hat, I'll have all my gear for level 60. The only other things I'd consider getting are phantom tathlum (relatively cheap now) and a spider torque.

Well, I've been on a pretty awesome leveling streak with BLU. Solo'd through the dunes, and got fron 21-26 in two days. (21-23 in a few parties, then I found I could solo the T worms in Qufim pretty reliably.)
Have all my spells up to level 30, and Nadrs, which is such an awesome looking sword for that level. <3

Lvl 18-22 use Sauromange Champhaine, that nook with beetles, then you can usually hop straight to Yutungha afterwards..or do Pugils in Qufim. o.o But you skip the evil worm stage.

Limited ammounts and roaming pts that dont always work out at lower lvls...>_>; They awesome with RNGs or BLMs though. But in general its Qufim, and having to fight for 2-3 worms sucks not to mention no real base camp. Other than that who likes to fight Crabs with DEF Bonus?

I could, and I will next time I'm going to level, as I'm 26 now. Actually got from 25.5 to 26 by roaming around with a monk and a whm outside of the tower, killing anything EM and T. I'll be unstoppable in 4 levels though. Hello Sneak Attack <3.

I have been working on Blm (lvl 29 ATM) and Whm (lvl 32 (I think) ATM)

Those have been the ones I have been focusing on lately. I want to go back to blue and get it up to 25 from 14 but I really want to get my Whm and Blm up to at least 40 before I move on to another job.

I want to lvl my 52 Rdm really bad, but I am letting the wave of aggro wear off (it gets sooo annoying to have a whole party of magic using characters screaming at you to refresh them, not to mention I usually have to main heal and nobody seems to understands that mp runs out quicker for me -wonder why-. They just assume that refresh and convert will keep me at 100%, 100% of the time) .So I am waiting for some mates to lvl up so we can pt and it will be sooooo much more fun !

Woot just hit 40 COR! Evoker's Roll and Quick Draw baby. ^^

Quickdraw is pretty sweet I might add. Basically gives me a TP free, never missing WS every 3 min. Doing 142 damage at the moment. Plus it increases potency of durrent debuffs of that element. ^^

09-26-2006, 09:34 AM
I am sometimes logging in to level RDM (Linkshell is kinda dead at the moment ._. playing FFXI is really no fun without them) oooh, and MNK is collecting dust n_n-d because RDM gives me more variety in battle (and more parties n_n-d).

but I switch to Monk when I have an urge to punch and wear sexy punching thingies. :)

I haven't played for a while, but I'd like to get my WHM up to 50, then get all my fresh jobs up to 10. After that, it's a toss up of taking either RDM, BLU or MNK through the dunes.

Misfit
09-26-2006, 06:58 PM
I got WAR almost to 58.

I guess I should start playing FFXI again. It's been over 2 years and I haven't got ONE job to 75!

Leveling BLM and, to be honest, I'm not having too much fun so far. I think I may end up being more of a melee person in the end. I'm only to lvl 11 though so who knows. I just can't stand healing constantly while soloing. Party time is just around the corner so hopefully that'll change my mind. :)

Del Murder
10-13-2006, 03:32 AM
The further you get into blm the less healing you will have to do, but BLM/WHM is almost always expected to be a backup healer when the main healer needs rest.

I've hit my cap in PLD so now I'm going to level up some subjobs. NIN and WHM are pretty useful subs to have. I also want to get BLU (as a main job obviously).

Bahamut2000X
10-13-2006, 05:22 PM
Well now I'm split on what to level. In my ample free time between classes and work. I'm split between taking PLD to 75 (which requires me to get about 2 mil in gear.) finiahing up PUP to 60 for full AF (which requires hours of waiting and soloing.) Or just taking COR up to 60+ (which requires mils in gear, ammo, dice, and food, plus leveling RNG as a sub job past 30 finally. >.>)

Oh well time to stick to my current leveling strategy of taking whatever job I want exp for into promy ENM's every week. <.< Now if only someone else in my shell would go as a /RNG so I can level something else up. >.>

I'm at an absolute stalemate. Over the last 2 days I've been lfp for around 20 hours without a single invite on my THF. When I do try to take the initiative and make a PT there aren't sufficient people to do so with.

10-13-2006, 10:24 PM
I spent the night last night tryin' to get my whm up to 36 ....

I waited 5 hours for a pt. I had about 1,500 exp to lvl 35.
I was in Jeuno, so i thought i'd swing down by Qufim to kill some worms for some "easy xp" LMAO ! I got 500 xp, so about 100 xp per hour ... about 30-40'ish xp per kill, and i had to rest after almost every battle.

I need tele for whm so i can easily get out of White Gate without takin' the ship or shoutin' for a tele, and i can keep my hp in White Gate. :D
