I think I'm going to get the whole package to play through the story.
I'm going to start from scratch though, since I don't feel like transferring my lv 25 RDM from Ramuh or wherever he was. Bummer about the chocobo, but whatever.
Mildaurion trust and excalipoor! this is a great login monthNo more Abyssea items in the next login campaign. I guess that's what I'll spend my points on tonight. Rem's Chaptrs 6-10 are finally going to be available and it looks like Savory Shank and the +2 stones are going to stay around as the 3000 point items.

On another note, can't you get Rem's Tales from Sparks? Wouldn't that be a better option?
Man Yuhtunga Jungle is super confusing to get through

Gaf...got question. I have FFXI Ultimate Collection Seekers Edition in my steam library.
I this the one where you get everything?
Yes it is. If you have the Seekers Edition, you should have everything.
Is FFXI still billed on a calendar month basis (if you activate your account on the last day of the month you get only 1 free day)?
I need seals and crests. Are there any areas that have better drop rates than others?
Remember you can convert them 3:1 for the ones you want too.
I barely even have enough to convert. I have 2 Beastment's Seals, 32 Kindred's Seals, 1 Kindred's Crest, 2 High Kindred's Crests, and 0 Sacred Kindred's Crests.
Do you toss the ones you get normally?
Who are some good trusts to use? I could use a balanced team so I have ways of dealing with stuff that laughs off melee damage.
Something like 1 per party per 5 minute window, although the window resets upon zoning. When SKCs were fresh people would camp the zoneline between Woh Gates and Kamihr Drifts, bouncing back and forth as needed; I used to use the Cape Terrigan -> Valley of Sorrows zoneline for that annoying gather 5 Crests/Seals RoE timed challenge.Fight stuff of a level appropriate to the drop. Abyssea is good for some actually, you're limited by a weird timer on the drop rates for them, i think you can only get 1-2 every 5 minutes.

What job are you playing?
.ok while I wait for the hilariously inefficient POL updater process to run I have some questions and I don't want to further pollute the welcome back campaign thread:
- Does it let you pick what server to start on? I remember needing silly in-game items to 'invite' people to create new characters on realms. Part of SE's misguided attempts at evening out realm pops was to randomize your first character, if I recall correctly.
Yeah, can pick your server when making a character now, no problems there.- I'm starting from scratch so I'd like to get a good idea of WS/casting animations before I roll my first character, youtube's not helping me out here. Anyone got a good resource?

Didn't find a Spell compilation video, but you can just search "ffxi blm spells" or "ffxi blu spells" or whatever and get pieces here and there.- Did they change how outposts work? Back in the day LSes would 'raid' nearby outposts by trading them crafted goods so you'd end up with strange outcomes like Windurst controlling Ronfaure and people taking advantage of Outpost warps everywhere in the world. That really opened up my options of moving around the world and I'd hate to have missed the boat there. Are Outpost warps replaced by better options in 2015?
Outpost warps are now persistant, so if you change nations, you'll still have all the ones you had from previous nations. There are tons of new ways to warp around. Waypoints, Geomagnetic fonts, Survival Guides, etc. The most useful are probably Home Point warps, examine a home point to register it, and you can then teleport to any other home point you've examined for 500gil. Or free if it's within the same city. And a bunch of new home points are now all over the place.

New Area: Escha Zi'Tah (05/11/2015)
A new thread has been created in the Updates section of the official forums:
[dev1267] New Area: Escha Zi'Tah
First Rhapsodies battle content info, this sounds interesting.
Does Shadowplay work with FFXI? Alt+F9'ing doesn't seem to do anything.
First Rhapsodies battle content info, this sounds interesting.
That sounds really weird.
Using "escha" as the name for the areas is really poignant. It really is the end.
I wonder ifwe'll get a Dynamis zone for Adoulin, like the last cutscene implied, or if Arciela's father disappeared into an Escha zone.
That might have been a reference to vagary.
Really? Is there any story with Vagary? I remember everyone being excited because they assumed it was a Dynamis reference.
Pretty sure it'll only work if you use the full desktop streaming mode - FFXI is still using a really old DirectX version I think.
Since I've restarted, what's the best thing to spend my copper vouchers on? It's a bit of an overload trying to look up what all the various currencies do. I'm just trying to level up and enjoy the missions/quests.
Seems that way, but it feels suboptimal since FFXI is eating my inputs and preventing me from toggling it. Guess It's back to Fraps.
So my brother and I installed everything yesterday. We're ready to go sometime later this week. I'll be a DRG again. Not sure what he will play. Maybe SAM.
What are some easy but good Trusts to get that would complement us and help us through the story? Anything specific I should know?
Some early good ones are Kupipi (Windurst, healer) and Trion (San d'Oria, tank). The DD ones in general are good for leveling, but fall off in usefulness the higher you are.
Thanks. Apparently you need Rank 6+ to get Trion so I'll have to settle for Excenmille but he should be fine.
What's the fastest way to get to Windurst as a fresh Lv 5 afterwards? Any shortcuts or do I have to run for it at least once to get the home point warp?

You usually have to get there the old fashioned way once, although I vaguely recall that my first visit to San d'Oria involved a special event teleport, probably duringChristmasStarlight Celebration - it was many many years ago.
At the rate one levels nowadays, it might just be viable to walk there safely by killing most things in your path to level up and handle whatever's further ahead in the way.
The path would be South San d'Oria -> West Ronfaure -> La Theine Plateau (watch out for rams) -> Valkurm Dunes -> Selbina -> take the ferry (might be safer to stay below deck in case of skeleton pirates earlier on) -> Mhaura -> Tahrongi Canyon -> East Sarutabaruta -> Windurst.
