FFXI Solo Or Duo Friendly Now? Current State Pls

That's from WoTG.
Because it has drops which are needed to upgrade REM weapons.Divine Might? Which is now a joke, aside from the annoyance of getting the pentasphere.
There's two pieces of PUP AF3 (body and legs) that have useful effects (reduced overload and enhance automaton skills) that I have been wanting to upgrade for months.

Basically, most of the important armor/weapons these days is rare/ex stuff. Which sucks for crafters. But SE just came out with this new thing called "Su1" which is an attribute on crafted stuff that means you can't use it until you have 50 job points. (SE has said Su1 will be for crafted stuff only, I don't trust them but let's hope they keep to that.)

Do you returning guys remember the days of meripo? What if you had to be on the job you wanted to merit? Welcome to capacity points/job points. Job points are only for a single job and can only be earned on that job. Want to raise job points on WHM? Be a WHM in fights that give job points. Also, you can only get capacity points on very high level (100+?) monsters and some events (like surged WoE runs).

FWIW, right now we're in a double CP week. These happen every now and then. There is also the Vocation ring which doubles CP. And there is gear which gives increased CP, so far I only know of a cape that drops in Incursion with a random CP augment. I have heard of at least +50%, but have only gotten +11% and +22% so far.

Just make sure to move to a populated server because the game is pretty much dead.

Ah, Just like the old days. I'm such a friendly person but yet my job of choice always hindered me from getting invites. it was a sad sad journey for me :( lol


Elwyn,
Thank you for the input! I believe what i'll do is start off with my original character so I have some sort of a jump on things (although I may appear to know what I am doing but truthfully i won't have the slightest clue!) :D
And so Capacity points/Job points are essentially "merit points" correct? you gain experience to level up a job specific ability?

Brolli,
I have been told that Odin or Ragnarok are the most populated areas, so those will be considered my two options i assume. Unless people are in need of friends and help from a returning noob, I am open to suggestions:) I more so just enjoy company and helping others.

This all is very exciting, but still overwhelming! I feel like once I log on for the first time again in years that I will crap my pants in excitement but yet have no idea where to go/what to do/where to begin! haha

I hear bahamut also is not to bad. I am a carby but I quit because I was bored. That server is now pretty much jp only. There is some french but not a lot. I was in papesse ls probably the best eu shell but unless you were pimp you were not being a dd. Only other English speaking ls which was better were a mix of na and eu and were basically shitting mythic out left right and centre.

Basically my point is leave carby and find a more na/eu server if there even is one......

Me and my mate are EU, just returned and are on Odin, its friendly here :)

Although I am just a casual player I would still love to finish some contents and most of all finish off this Nirvana I have been working on so long... if any GMT based buddies are around hit me up :-D

Alright, It appears that Odin is winning my vote so far! Who dares stand to the challenge! >:D
