Post subject:  A few questions about Nasomi?

First I am under the assumption that this is true to FFXI pre ToAU. Nothing like exp boosts, movement speed increase etc.. if there are differences what should I be aware of?

Secondly, how is it trying to find a decent exp party until 75? Am I going to be solo grinding or is there a healthy population to do some old school exp grinds?

Parties are easier to find than pre-WotG retail thanks to 10 level sync.
This is not strictly a "pre-ToAU" server. It's a pre-WotG server with ToAU being customized for the environment Nasomi wants to create.

There are dozens of differences that you'll encounter as you play. This is not a mirror of a certain era in retail. Just to be clear, this is a unique server with many similarities and differences.

There is a very healthy, and growing population. Though, if you're leveling THF, BLM, WHM, and to a certain degree MNK, your leveling experience will be slower than the high demand jobs.

Can you give me a reason as to why BLM and especially WHM will be slower leveling? Just doesn't make sense to me coming from only ever playing retail.

Can you give me a few examples of what is different?

Just to be clear I'm looking to play this for the FFXI experience not the game itself if you know what I mean

SC+MB isn't the exp meta, BLM is generally a weak DD compared to other jobs. RDM mostly does WHMs job better 41-75 for exp PTs.

You're going to have to play to discover the #JustNasomiThings.

Same reason BLM and WHM leveling slowed down when people actually started to understand the game in retail. TP burn without worrying about SC or managing mana was faster XP, and everyone having /nin in a tp burn means that higher level buffs and stronger cures are less important than Convert and refresh, and that having both a WHM and RDM was unnecessary.

Some stuff is broken, some stuff isn't implemented at all, some out of era things like Chat/Iridal are available. Some Nasomi unique things, like OWNMs (overworld dragon things that you kill with ranged DPS kiting them) exist to replace previously (or currently) unimplemented BCNMs.

If there's a reason why WHM gets levels slower than RDM it's because people invite RDM first. WHM is perfectly capable of healing as long as the party has a BRD or COR.

BLM doesn't get invites because everyone meleeburns. But BLM can solo or manaburn in EXP, or you can build your own parties.

THF doesn't get invites quickly just because there are so many of them around. They're not bad, it's just a supply/demand problem.

A mediocrely geared THF also does a lot less damage than a mediocrely geared DRK or SAM or whatever too, so they also get less invites for that reason.

Basically if you are looking for a good retail experience like the old days, you'll like nasomi. Most things are true to retail. There are a few smaller things you'll notice but if you get yourself a linkshell, shouting or making friends will get you one quickly, you'll immerse yourself and have fun.

Did you start typing this before you decided you had anything to say?

Dispel is also a spell.
