JP groups are the best - you'll regret saying that.

Read up on jobs and be whatever you want to be.

I've had good JP groups, but I've had better english speaking ones. I've also had AWFUL JP groups.

Trust me, it's not

 

[k9awya]

it is

st showed me.. he almost convinced me to start up ffxi again, as a bard/whm
then he told me/showed me what a bard does.

redmage actually looks quite fun, cause you can really tell if someone is good at it

I'm a 32 Bard and loving it so far. Yeah it's a bit boring before 25 because there's not much to do, but as soon as you get Mages Ballad you're everybody's best friend, and always busy in groups. My opinion anyways.

Depends what on what you like to do in groups. If you wanna be a tank and take agro and sit there and whack things, then Bard isn't for you. But if you like to play a support class, constantly running around, buffing, helping to heal, reducing down time for faster chains, then this is it.

However, I sub Red Mage at the moment because I find White Mage so utterly boring I can't be bothered to level it past 7. Also gives me a little variety if I want to cast something other than Dia, and I can still heal efficiently.

well in daoc i always liked healer and bard best

but one thing really puts me off playing again, in fact if it wasnt for this reason i would probably play it, i cant stay logged into a game like that without being able to use irc/icq/msn etc.. just so GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

2nd PC 4tehwin! I'm playing now and able to surf all I like!

bard does seem really boring to me (2 songs, move, 2 songs, hit the thing a few times, move, 2 songs.......) but then, anything other than RDM for me is boring. I quite enjoyed my thf in valkurm but only got that to 16

most of us are on bismarck, if you want a worldpass post on here and I'll buy one.

Job really doesnt matter to start with.

If you want to do all jobs pick mithran imo. Good melee ( Better than hume ) and great for ranger/ninja/thief and only a very small amount less mp than hume.

WHM is expensive... >.<

So is Bard when you're broke

 

[Old.Fanta]

well finally i will go to ragnarok (i think) and i will be WHM/BLM going to summoner, dont know if that's good , expensive or cheap but I like it

I was cleric in daoc and healer here ffs btw :wub: to all who answered meh hehe

 

[Garnet]

Another Carby only summoner! We are growing!

 

[ST^]

Garnet it fucking ain't xmas anymore.

How the hell did you manage to get PT's? The same tard leaders who invite 2 paladins or 3 thiefs I guess.

if you want to be a good summoner you will need several pets atleast and basically will need to be lvl 50+ to get them. Which means you cant get them if you dont go above lvl 30 with any other class.
I seriously dont recommend choosing summoner as your main class until you have a class that can get some of the summons. If you only have carbuncle(which is the summon you get when you become summoner) than you can play secondary healer, but I do think you are missing much of the joy of being a summoner as you only have one of the many summons.

Whm is costly, but just know which scrolls not to get till later and find good ways to get cash and you should be ok.

Pff Bard is like the cheapest job ever. :touch:

Simple. Sit in lower Jeuno, put looking for party tag on, wait till you get a party invite, ask what members they have, if any good join and if crap decline and repeat.

..Or you could build your own group I guess.

and ill change the avatar when i cba
