Unmerc'ing Asura - Do you need help?
By Nyarlko 2018-11-21 08:25:03
Shameless bump. :D
Recently came back from a RL-induced break from FFXI to find that about half the old LS roster has moved on, and moved up, to more serious groups.. Which is a bit saddening, but it also means that we have plenty of room to accept new newbies!
Especially if you are a new player or recent returnee, if you are in need of help, advice, or are tired of trying to get started playing solo, let us know.
Fair warning: While we are revving back up our event schedule, it will no longer be nearly as rigid or regular as it was. No more nightly events every night. We were never intended to be a serious business LS, and I refuse to let it become one.

Y'know what, I would happily take some help and join the shell.
I've been a little overwhelmed and clueless (regardless of reading up on multiple guides).

What's your character's name so I know who to be keeping an eye out for?

You are exactly the kind of person and I'm guessing LS I've been looking for since I cam back. I feel the same as Judaiine and am completely lost on what to do next so I've just been capping out jobs....
And again same as Judaiine, would love to get a pearl if possible.

Glad I'm not the only one! And if you ever want to get together to farm abyssea stuff or whatever is so much more painful to do solo, let me know!

Just re-subbed too. Got some basic HQ abj gear for blm/sch/pld and a mixture of val/herc and merl gear. Would be happy to join and help, not massively high end gear but some setups that could be useful.
Edit - Managed to solo some t1-t2s across the three escha zones. With a group I'm sure I could assist.

@Dreego, Moloko7: What are your character names?

This sounds like a ton of fun and definitely what I've been looking for since my return! I've been so lost lately with a lot of the new content, I could really use a group of chill helpful people to keep my interest this time around!
Count me in! Duelly of Asura

I hope I'm not late for this, I'm not against the whole mercing things to be honest, but I'm against people who speculate without heart over newbies, to the point that THEY start to /yell asking to buy T1-T2s items, which it totally SAD as it means the normal "team up" gameplay got defeated by the pay per win system, which sucks and brings no real satisfaction or achievemnt to your gaming experience. That said, I'll get a linkpearl if it's still there otherwise I'll send you a tell in game for getting one, I wanna help you and the new players especially to understand how important and funny is to team up, grow as a player and earning your own s***. I got PLD RUN, master BST, SCH, BLM, GEO, BLU and DRK, all decently-well geared!!
edit: been a grammar nazi sorry bout that lol

If you still have room within your LS, I would love to help others with such things. Helping others in XI always makes the game funner to play.

ill take a pearl :D
By kestiel 2018-11-25 17:13:13
I'm around to help / join in group content, characters: Komach & Kestiel if people are still able to join.
Edit: Just clarifying I'm more in the "need halp" category, just not in the "literally no gear whatsoever and can I leech pls" way.
By Nyarlko 2018-11-25 20:19:12
We are always recruiting helpees. ^_^
Helpers tho, we are not accepting at this time, except for good whm's or geo's, and maybe mages in general since those are always in short supply when you deal with mostly early stage players who tend to gravitate towards melee DD jobs.
I am trying to avoid the same situation we had several months ago where the linkshell was capping out during event times due to too many "helpers" being around, and helpees were getting locked out of the house. >_<;;
Please forgive me if the following comes off harsh, as it really, really isn't meant to, but I think that I really need to clarify some things. ^^;;
We are absolutely not looking for purely event-only members, as we are not an "event linkshell." We are a "linkshell that does things together" and I make a conscious effort to keep us away from the hardcore mentality. Events are not mandatory for anyone (except me @_@), anyone who has access to the content is welcome and encouraged to attend (even if they can do little more than /cheer on the sidelines,) and I have no issues at all with taking a FAR-from-optimal group in to Omen/Dyna even if we have little chance of downing the Wave1 boss, JUST to get new folks accustomed to the content/mechanics and playing with non-Trusts.

I think it speaks volumes about the kind of people we share this server with. Go Asura!

Every post I see about “Asura is just trolls and Merc’s” shouldn’t be argued with. Just send them to this post. Glad you are having success!

I would love some help as well. I checked the concierge npc and didn’t see your LS.

Hey, I /tell'd you a few times today but you must have been AFK. I'm a returning player that just started during the free campaign. Currently have SAM/RUN/COR/BST 99 and looking to actually do some end game stuff. I've been mostly solo til now.
Zulaern is my in game name if I don't catch you at some point.

Best of luck with this. I heard many horror stories about Asura in terms of straight up most geared linkshells being merc groups.

I can be a helper, I know you said you ain't looking for helpers much but, I'm on the JP time zone, so I can help out that side of the world.
[+]
Are you a returnee in non-119 gear who has no idea how to get past sparks gear?
Are you an actually new player who has no idea what you should even be aiming for past sparks gear? (Or what that little upside white triangle means on some ilvl gear?) I can help!
I've been offering the following as "welcome gifts" for my new ls members for a long time, but always felt a lil' bad that I couldn't snatch up every stray newbie/returnee that popped up in chat. :(
I'm also one of those irritated at the proliferation of mercenary services at the cost of actual group-play for those still at the lower tiers of endgame content.
So, simple idea. I am now an unmerc. I run a BST+BLM dualbox team, which can smash faces rather well. I can carry 2x cheerleaders at a time, so you will get vorseal unlocks along the way. I am offering this service not for those who are already established, but for those who actually need help. I'd also really appreciate it if trolling be kept to a minimum, since I am trying to do something good here. ^^;;
Prices for my services are as follows:
Escha - Zi'tah T1: my pops, your drops = 0gil
Escha - Zi'tah T2: your pops, your drops = 0gil
Escha - Ru'aun T1: my pops, your drops = 0gil
Escha - Ru'aun T2: your pops, your drops = 0gil (We will also need to catch one of our ls tanks in a benevolent mood to be sure of safe/speedy kills for some of them due to the adds. ^^;; )
TBH, I probably won't complain if someone (who's not struggling with gil) wants to help cover the cost of T1 pops, but those are only 6k/EZ and 10k/ER, and I really won't be happy with being offered more than that.
This is intended to be a non-profit operation.
As long as I'm prepped with KIs before starting, can do ~20x EZ T1 per radialens, so you should even have a decent shot at getting gear that you are looking for. ^^
I am not rich. I could definitely use more gil in general. I just don't care enough about gil to not-help other players who actually need help. Bring on the salt mercs. >:3
Contact:
I will try to keep an eye on this thread, will crosspost it to bgwiki forums, but your best bet is probably to catch me ingame. You can find me on one of my myriad characters, find a member of my linkshell FaceDesk who can let me know, grab a pearl for FaceDesk from one of the 3 city concierges, etc. (You're welcome to keep the pearl too if you are looking for a social/help ls. ^^ We welcome all.)
The many me's: Nyarlko, Cthuko, Mirajayn, Mikudayo, Hoardingmule, Naru, Ghutatan.
Cthuuko, Shantakun, Pettanko, Rorymercury, Mahirosan, Hasturkun, Klptzyxm.
If you can't find one, you can usually find another. ^^
