low rank but high lvls.

Actually you can't unlock the rank 5 mission until you are level 30 and the rank 6 mission, therefore Zilart, until 50. I tend to find search comments more useful than rank. I'd sooner look for a green dot on the search window than a little 10.

That's odd. My wife is Rank 6 and she got it when her highest job was 34 or so. 5-1 is a 50 cap mission, but I know a ton of people who have done it before 50.

I don't think there is a level requirement on any of the city missions.

lol. You know it's kind of funny you're mentioning parties and low level rankers getting the shaft.

Me, my girl, and our friends, (another couple) are in a Static (pld rdm whm thf) and when I look for the fillers in our pt. We no longer invite Rank 6'ers and up. Particularly Rank 10. Not all, but most have in our experience been Mr/Mrs Know-it-all, my way or the highway, telling me how to do my job just because they have 'A' lvl 75 job.

And being as our static has had a good run of 28 levels and only 2 deaths, I don't think we're looking to change that anytime soon.

I have gotten Rank 5 as early as level 20, so there most certainly isn't a level 30 requirement on it.

Hmmm, when I tried to get the rank 5 mission I got told to continue working on my experience until I'm needed (or something like that) by the mission npc. I had a full rank bar from crystals and as soon as I changed my job to one over 30 I got the mission.

Same with mission 5-2. I had a full rank bar, tried to get the mission on my whm (37) got told to come back when I was stronger. Changed jobs at the MH in North Sandy, went straight back as rdm(50+) and got the mission.

Well, maybe I'm remembering incorrectly. But I could have sworn.

Its been such a long time since I did them too so I might be wrong but the mission guide on Alla does list the min level as 55 for 5-2.

Edit: It also lists the Magicite mission as a level 20 requirement

Still, I'm almost certain I didn't even have Invisible yet on Aelathir when I got Rank 5. Oh well.

[Jei]

Can you give me example for the "more" interesting quest? If you can't spare 30 minutes to do rank 5 how could you spare time to farm and make 700k for the airship pass? That just doesn't make any sense.

And yes rank still mean something.
When you /sea for PT members, what do you see?
Names, levels, jobs, ranks, comments, that's all.
So hell yes for a total stranger I know nothing about, I DO look at rank when I pick my PT members.

High rank =/= good players.
But you can't deny that, there's nothing else to help you decide when you pick your members.

If I get invite from anyone above level 40 and still rank 2, I ignore. Sorry. Because I believe that's either a) ignorant player who doesn't even care to do mission or b) gilsellers on the grind.

Rank 5 I can understand, 5-1 is harder to get help. But rank 2, bleh.

Alla's minimum level listing is the recommended minimum level to complete the quest.

Maybe but I'm still pretty sure about the 50 req for starting 5-2. Also Jei has a good point, how long must it of taken to farm enough to buy airship passes rather than do a few rank missions?

There may be a requirement, but it certainly isn't 50. Like I said before, my wife is Rank 6. Her highest job is 40. She got Rank 6 back when her highest job was around 34. Some of my ls mates we're doing a Shadowlord fight and told her to come along.

[Jei]

I don't think there's any level requirement for missions no.

[Kirsteena]

I helped get a friend's level 3 mule get rank 5, so there is no level requirement for that, also know a level 5, rank 7 person so... there is no level limit.
