This is my first time playing FFXI and im pretty damn lost as to how things work. I know the game is very group oriented and you need people even to do basic quests, how do I go about finding people to group with? Is there an easy way to hotkey my abilities? Any good tips for a brand new player? |

Here's the FAQ from the nasomi wiki(link available at top of page): http://nasomi.com/wiki/index.php?title=New:First-Time You can probably find an old user manual for ffxi sitting around online or maybe squarenix's ffxi site for the full interface overview. Just reference the wikinas for things that work different or not at all due to out of Era things. We shoot for things as the were around 2005 or so. And here's a quick guide on macros: http://ffxiclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Macro |

Good things to start with. -- Talk to a guard near an exit with Initials by his name. He gives you a buff called "Signet" it will let you earn points to be used on useful items like warp scrolls / equipment based on Nation Rank. It also allows you to gather crystals which you can sell for gil at the Auction House or Use for crafting (Sell them to start since crafting can get expensive) -- You won't party until around level 11-13 and that will be in the Valkrum Dunes zone. So just focus on leveling and having fun. If you are a caster, you have to buy your spells, each city has a spell shop, the first couple can be bought after you sell some crystals. -- Hot keying abilities is done through "Macros" if you hold the CTRL or ALT key on the keyboard you will see #1-#0 as options. going through your menu to "Macros" you will need to pres "-" twice to get to the 2nd menu options, you can locate each macro set there. an Example of a warrior skill provoke would be below. Also I put a Cast Cure spell one below it Provoke one ---- /ja "Provoke" <t> Cast Cure ---- /cast "Cure" <t> Useful things /ja = Job Ability /cast = Cast Spell <t> = Target <me> = Yourself There are lots more like <st> and and <HPP> and such that you can find on the wiki. Also check out this Nab made a great beginning guide. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4645 |

TIL: /cast is a thing Shout in your starting city (Windy Woods, Bastok Mines, South Sandy) for a LS. You'll get one full of ppl that can help answer questions as you get started too. |

I always use /ma for magic /nin for ninjutsu, /so for songs... guess I've been doing it wrong. Here's a fun macro TIL (well, I learned it yesterday): instead of /wait X as a separate line, you can add <wait X> to the end of your macro. Got a couple macro's i need to condense now. |
