Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 1,251 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 1,251 Donate  | Levelling and the economy any different ? Hello ! Coming back to Vana'diel after being gone for a few months - well, since April. Or February. AT any rate, I have since gotten the expansion, and unlocked Dancer and Scholar. I may level those for a while, just so I do not feel so left out. My questions are primarily about levelling and economy (money making)
1) Have any of the levelling spots changed ? I left in part because of the huge bottle neck in Khazham/Yhoatoar/Yhutunga from 25-30. No one levelled anywhere else it seemed, and I could not find a party for days there, especially once I got my BLM to 29....
2) How is the economy ? Have prices gone down ? Up ? Is it still worth it to fish or learn a craft ? I wanted to buy trees and tree cuttings for a gardening mule. Is that still a good option ?
3) Have prices for spells gone down ? I try to buy NPC wherever possible, but sometimes, you just can't do that....
4) Also, concerning soloability : has anything major changed ? I felt like I was stuck with a ton of mage gear and nothing to show for it when I was stranded in the jungles looking for a party. I am still looking for a BLM solo guide Iread about in another thread. Is there anything else I should know about ?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer, and I hope to see you guys again soon !  Destined Fellow Eue

There are probably a lot of BLM solo guides out there, but here's one of them: Black Mage Solo Guide by Lion heart | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | The following user says "Thank You" to Silent Howler for above post: | | | | 12-02-2007, 01:01 PM | #3 (permalink) | | Sticky Paws Keeper of Knowledge Join Date: May 2006 Location: Southern California Posts: 2,892 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood:  Thanks: 237

There's no way around it--those are the places where everyone wants to go around those levels. “ I’m in pain, but I’m happy.”

I have also noticed the guide that the above guy posted, and will definitely check that out. In general I want to level all the mage jobs anyway.....
Well, at least I know that part has not changed... shame, really. Oh well...
Any more thoughts on the economy ? For instance, does it still cost 650k+ to max out cooking ? Destined Fellow Eue

Parties at your level are not plentiful by any measure, but it doesn't look impossible, either, to level your BLM. “ I’m in pain, but I’m happy.”

In all seriousness, I wondered if there are so many people who levelled so high past me, that there might be a glut of level 60s and simply not enough people at the low levels. I am shocked to read that one server already has a level 50 Scholar (WTF!?!?!)
...but, no worries. The solo guide actually has a lot of possibilities I have not considered. Lots of "forgotten" places in the Old World.... Between that and the new jobs, I think I will be fine for now... Destined Fellow Eue

While the data is definitely not yet in for a lot of it, WotG seems to be bringing in a wealth of potential xp mobs across a wide range of levels. I suspect that once people really have their bearings on camps, you may be able to drag people in that level range out to North Gustaberg [s], East Ronfaure [s], or West Sarutabaruta [s] in particular. The lack of a single central hub for organizing parties might hurt, but the fact that people can teleport from their past city of allegiance to any past zone they've been means there's good transportation potential even so.
