this game is still not available for download or purchase anywhere that i've checked. that's every ebgames, walmart, bestbuy and futureshop in the city + amazon and SE themselves. i guess it's good since I wouldn't be able to play anyways but it'd be nice to preload it at least.

I tried getting on Ultros like half of my morning. No dice. I'll just have to make another person later or something, or maybe move this character I have if character moves aren't a rip off like WoW's.
Should be a normal-length 3102 now. 5-10 minutes.3102... damn you SE. DAAAMMN YOUU!!!

I recommend checking out the marketboard in your city for gear when you hit level 10. You'll probably find weapons and clothes for much cheaper than you will in any vendor - that way, when choosing your quest rewards, you can just go for the gil reward.

Marketboard? Have no idea what that is. Yep, noob is me.
It's a gigantic pin-up board in the streets of the main city that acts as the Auction House, I guess.

Which starting city are you in?
Whichever it is, there'll be a strip with loads of vendors all clustered together, the marketplace board is there, it's where other players put stuff to sell. A lot of it goes for rock bottom prices, and you can buy HQ items there too (additional attributes)
Even though I played 1.0 for a few months after release, I feel like a complete newbie in this version of the game. I do have about 400k gil from my 1.0 character that I have no idea what to do with. My character has Pugilist 28, and a few crafts at 25+ but I am starting up from Gladiator 1 and my plan is to main Paladin. Any veterans have any suggestions on where I should invest my gil?

Oh, haha, doubt 600 or so gil will get much of anything. I did buy a few armor pieces, like a red coif with horns, and a wood shield.

Same here man. I've tried like 5 times, and still 10102. Hope I'm not boned.

Go to one of the three cities and look for where all the stores are clustered, the board will be around there.

Might be cause the servers cleared up but the game seems to be running a lot smoother on the PS3. Having far less FPS issues, though I have yet to go FATE farming since the maintenance update.
Having an opinion is fine when you back it up with substantial reasons. You can also have an opinion without insulting other people. Try it sometime, it may actually get you better responses.
Haha this^ That's why I like the dungeon mechanics so much. Once your party gets into a groove, its like those awesome FFXI exp parties. It's a shame that FATEs are overwhelmingly faster for leveling.

Honestly? No, not really, need to wait til you get a retainer so you can sell stuff.

Try not to burn all your Gil teleporting lol
Is there any way to try out an armor before your purchase one? As in, see it's appearance?
Hmm...gotcha.
Good thinking.

Sounds like you might like Pugilist!
Oh you are right. Nice. I could also jump back in without issue.

Yeah, but starting over from scratch doesn't sound very appealing, lol. So I guess I picked the tank class then? Boo.

Classes and Jobs are one-trick ponies - GLDs/MRDs/PLDs/WARs can only tank.

It's kinda okay within the same region but man does it add up going from region to region, ouch.
How much are we talking from region to region?
I usually find between 350 - 490 gil a teleport to different regions. Within you're looking at 100-180 gil.
dunno about that... at that level you can still start up crafting - which can get you a decent amount of money through leves at that point in the game.
Marketboard is your friend though. Saving money is just as important as making money.

They can go from 200gil to about 600gil depending where you are.

So, if I got a pugalist weapon, I'd have to start at level 1 again and do all those quests over?

I feel ya there is a huge chunk of the story where it's back and fourth to Drybone it sucks up so much gil set that as your homepoint for sure.
BlazingDarkness

But investing in crafting means spending a lot of gil, and without a retainer, you can't sell anything, so you're just going to be bleeding money (trust me, I have 3 crafts at level 20, I've been pretty much broke the whole time lol)
I'm close to the retainer quest, so I think my fortunes will reverse soon enough!
Aleport to Gridania was about 650 gil, ridiculous o.o

I'm on Ultros with the gang, but I'm also on Faerie with my brother and some friends. You're always welcome in our group

You'll get pugilist specific guild quests, and specific hunting log marks.
Oh, and remember to be eating food when you're fighting mobs, you get an exp bonus!

You don't need the retainer at all.
The tradecraft levequests pretty much bathe you in money once you can turn out high quality items. It is a costly start up, yes, but just getting to the levequest part opens up 'free money' options.
And because of how the market gets flooded at times, its still WAY more profitable to just sell high quality items through levequests.

Ok, last question for the night.
Can you use skills from gladiator when in pugalist form? Or is there a fast switch to allow you to switch jobs fast like? Or do you have to equip everything over if you want to play a certain job? Sorry, never played FF 11.BananasWithGuns
Member
Getting 10102 as well. Fantastic...
Incoming maintenance sometime in the next couple hours I'm sure.

Some of the skills are cross class. If they are, they'll tell you for which class in the Ability window. There are also equipment sets that you can use to automatically flip your class by swapping out all of your gear.

Maybe it works for leveling up one craft then, but juggling three crafts and one gathering class, there wasn't enough leve allowances to really benefit monetary wise. The money I got from those went back into ingredients/gear for each craft. The HQ leves give a shit load of exp though, that's true.

Is anyone having duty finder issues. I got booted from Halati with a 90k error

Ok, last question for the night.
There are some skills that work cross-class, but only specific ones, at level 10 you might have unlocked one so far, go to your actions/trait tab and look under 'additional' to see if you've any to add to your hotbar.
For class switching, go to your character screen and click the little gear icon above your character to save a gear set, then when you equip the other class equipment, again, save it as a new set, this allows you to switch quickly between them. Remember to click the little arrow icon on the top right corner when you get better gear for your equipped class, it'll 'update' the saved gear set.
