Hi guys,
New player here - hope this is where questions and the like go.
I'm a veteran FF11 player, and decided to jump into 14 finally with my wife. We did the friendship circlet promotion and we're having fun playing (currently level 18).
I know everyone's first reccomendation is to NOT compare the two games, but does leveling in a group ever come into play outside of endgame or raiding? Right now my wife and I have been doing the story quests in a party, but sometimes we get to solo instances where we have to play alone and it's a bit frustrating.
Is there a level where level progression is reliant forming a group? Maybe some old FF11 players could answer here since they'll understand what I mean (Valkurm Dunes?).
I'm currently reading through the OT and studying the newbie guides!
