Hi,

{Context: Returning player from 2005 so I know all about the grind!}

1. Priority: Leveled Warrior to 30 (to unlock adv. jobs with Guild to not miss out)
2. Leveled Monk and Thief using Hand-to-Hand + cheap food
3. Currently leveling Monk because it's fun and underrated; it is currently at Lvl. 25

I solo'ed most of my levels to 30 (easy/DCs) because sometimes I don't have hours to play and it usually takes 1.5 hours (or less) to level and I get items to sell at the same time.
Better than running to a camp, waiting for people, etc.

Great tip on soloing:
I was able to make over 60k+ gil selling items from solo'ing. I had enough to get Chainmail @ 24, Spiked necklace, Neckchopper (19k now), Battle Gloves, Balance rings, Beetle earrings, etc. that can be used for other jobs that I won't have to buy again. I am NOT a fisherman :) I might do this if I really run out of money and farming zones.

The grind is addictive because I know what is waiting for me at the next level, or higher levels - the next piece of gear, weapon skill, job trait/ability, events with LS, etc.
I hope that people who are not returning players realize this and don't get discouraged.

The feeling from 2005 is still there except that I noticed that there are more advanced jobs in Dunes and more PLs than I remembered (I assume people are dual boxing now more).

The people I've met have been great and I received a lot of help when I asked for it. So far, so good!

#grind :D

soloing to 30! thats impressive lol. I wouldnt be able to do it.

Annnd kudos to you for just putting the time in, killing allll the things, selling all the things, and finding out what works and what doesnt!

Everyone wants to make money, but no one wants to put the time in to make it. /shrug

hats off good sir!

There are lots of PLs out there though. Some really good ones, some not so good. Also been in lots of PT without PL. Just chalked it up to the Nasomi experience.

Spot on, you've got a great attitude. I did something similar when I started up in June. I leveled a few jobs to ~12 or so and then took THF to 18 to get my subjob. From there, I soloed THF almost entirely to 34 doing quests and farming EPs/DCs. It really paid off in the beginning with drops and quest completion loot/fame, and I can't recommend it enough.

Good post and good attitude! I think one of the most important things for a newer player to do is to level up THF to at least 15 for TH1. Helps when out there farming for gil!

I'd go a step further and say everyone should get at least thief45 / bst20 if they really want to make good money. (millions, not just some 10s of thousands of gil per hour)

thf45/bst20? you know /bst charm time is used based on your bst lvl yes?

I am not really sure about thf though. thf is nice for nms but other than that. in the time it take for a thf to kill something another job killed 2 and half. well I haven't seen what a thf can (can't) do yet but I don't think it's killing speed is really good enough for a farming job

It's really very easy on Nasomi. I soloed WAR and WHM to 40, soloed most of my subjobs aside from a few Dunes parties and soloed BLM and THF to 75. The only job that I partied on more often was PLD.
