A few things I would like to know...

I got my Pld to level 20 and didnt feel like qufim just that moment. So I decided to go farm some crystals with a lvl 1 job. Next thing I know, my Drk is level 10. And its not that I dont like Pld, just Drk seems more fun at this momemt.

Ive heard that Drk have trouble finding Partys when its time to go to CN. It would be okay if it was just that, but does the Situation improve after that?

Also, equipment must have's for 1-30. Im planning on Balance rings, is there anything else under 50k that I seriously need?

I think the issue DRKs have with finding parties varies from server to server and what times you play. The DRK population on my server is pretty massive, so most DRKs who don't have a static team, usually have problems consistently getting teams because there are so many of us out there.

Does the situation improve - up to level 60, not to my knowledge. I find that the reputation you build along the way is your best ally in getting into good xp teams. People will usually tend to invite a *good* DRK they've played with before than a bad one. Reputation aside, i'm told at 66 when DRK's can close Light and Darkness level 3 renkei, they become highly desireable. If you check the DRK FAQ stickied on the top of this forum, there's a pretty concise list of must-have gear for DRK at all levels.

66+ with spin you will occasionally to frequently get invites even without a flag. seems pretty desired.

Gix is exactly right, you do get more invites at 65 really.. but it really shows 66+. So you gotta have both Gsword and Scythe lvled up.

Especially when fighting Processionaires, most of the time you'll be asked to do Cross Reaper for Darkness.

People always seem to want to invite me when I don't have time to XP or don't feel like it....

When I do want to XP, no one wants me.

I seeked for 14 hours the other day. Took 30 hours for someone to /tell me for an XP pt, by then I was too fed up and said no.
