Also, to contribute to the ranger discussion, one issue with them is that you won't learn how the monsters work properly if you gun your way through the early difficulties which means you'll be ill-equipped to dodge them in the higher levels where it really matters. As Kejigoto mentions, the monsters get a heck of a lot faster further into the game so you'll need to learn to deal with them in close quarters even if you're using range
Really good point on learning habits and behaviors. Enemy tells are huge one you get off normal mode and once you get up to ultimate getting hit can be a one hit k.o.
Still my biggest complaint is the lack of magic. I know it has gotten stricter as time has gone on and if I remember correctly ranged is very gimped in the healing department.
I used to play HUcast back in the day, biggest mistake ever as not having magic outside of normal meant soloing was almost impossible.

i still remember some of the nuances of the game and how they affect your survivalist:
-learning to stagger enemies by timing your hits so that they don't recover before your recovery frames are done and you get hit
-melee: learning how to combo an enemy with a fierce at the end of the combo, backing away a tad to make the enemy miss with its retaliation, and then starting the combo again
-ranger: shooting boxes from afar just means the melees get to the items faster than you
-force: getting to Ult with a lvl 60+ FOnewm is da bess
-mags: when possible, your starter mag is going to be your training mag!
-GETTING A LOT OF DEFENSE CAN BE DETETRIMENTAL
if an enemy hits you and does a lot of damage, you get knocked down to the floor. if you have enough defense, you only take a regular hit. this can result in 2 hit KOs because you are open to a 2nd attack for a kill, whereas if you get dropped on your ass you get invincibility frames to run away and survive. helpful for multihit attacks

Got in and did did a run. I remember the dragon taking longer when I was 10.
Can't you just make a ranger with the correct section ID and then just use the shared bank function to transfer it over?
I haven't checked if that works yet honestly.
The last server I played (not SCHT) didn't have the function working.
lemme check it real quick...
edit: the shared bank lady hasn't shown up for me once since I started playing and it hasn't changed yet.

/bank should work. I have 3 mags I'm going to start raising. Gotta get my Sato for my FO!

it works, I've been doing that to raise my mag
Press space then type /bank and hit enter. At the right of the screen it should say Bank: Common. Now when you go to the regular bank you are in an account wide bank.
This resets itself every time you log in, or you can /bank again to set it back to single character banking.
Nice it worked, time to play FFXIV for the next 2 hours while I feed my mag on this lvl 1.

Defense is pretty worthless since this is a game where you actively avoid damage to increase efficiency. That said, Def limits should be investigated for bosses so you don't die in one hit (Vol Opt prison attack).

So ive got the client downloaded and the registry keys installed, but when I open launcher.exe I can click on everything except start game. The button highlights and every other menu item I can interact with correspondingly but start game just does not do anything. On Win7x64 here.
Really dumb question, but have you actually logged into the server?
Launch with the online.exe and it should work just fine. I had the same issue.

Gah!!! my mag is ruined :s
Not sure how but it looks like it got rolled back a bit from last time I logged in. I didn't even notice so I just kept feeding it on the current plan before realising it'd lost about 10 dex and stuff -.-
Oh well... back to the drawing board. One thing I found out is that it seems dimates now unlock in the shops at level 20

Oh, great. Can you share which SweetFX/ReShade version you're using along with settings?

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
OK I thought the quest was missing in the server but it just seems untranslated....so anyone up for helping me test a Quest reward? Just know that we will be going through mines IIRC.

First day, head to forest 1 normal.

De Rol Le (caves boss) is something of a famous hurdle in PSO. He's ridiculously difficult compared to the dragon and requires you to actually know what to do and work as a group. He also has a bit of a gear check move, although it isn't *too* bad (the final boss has one that is much more serious).
I'd say he's harder than the boss after him in every respect, in that many characters are probably capable of killing the mines boss before they are capable of killing De Rol Le.
It shouldn't. I was alone in 4p rooms and still managed to complete everything all the time.
Only problem I seem to have now is some intermittent stuttering. Not really sure what's causing it. Hmm. It's not slowdown, it just sort of hangs on to a couple frames longer than it should for some reason.
Thought it could be crossfire, but even disabling that doesn't really seem to do much good.

I dont like doing the quests to unlock soul eater and the NPC to convert body parts so I wasn't planning to do it
Then a Booma's right claw drops
I gotta do the whole story questline to convert this thing, don't I?
/sadpanda
On that note, I'm farming dragon in TTF hard mode so I've had few Musashi drops

That's what I thought. We must have missed something but we finally had to unlock a 4-switch door to progress to Del Rol. Not sure what was going on...
And just got disconnected. Thanks for the run guys.

Glad I picked up that Blade Dance before the server went down. Can't use it anyways since I'm not a Hunter.
