You guys weren't kidding about finding a pt... - Final Fantasy XI :: Dreams in Vana'diel :: Community

Hit 41 SMN 5 days ago. Haven't been able to find an exp pt since.

Oh well, it gives me time to do quests, tele-taxi, and level up crafting, I guess...

just some info... its not just hard for you but for a lot of people too.

lv. 40-55ish are the slowest levels ever. you're best bet is to just make your own pt if you see enough people are seeking. its ok if you have to wait on a couple slots to open up. people will understand.

You may want to consider soloing during your downtime as well. Its not as consistent or safe as an exp party but it can help fill the time while LFG.

You could probably do the BLM trick as well and find a spot with BST pets to solo, I can't name the spots at that lvl off of the top of my head, though.

Here's a guide to soloing with smn: http://www.killingifrit.com/forums.p...ts&q=28803&d=0
It's old, but it's been updated and pretty much everything in it still applies. Bomb kiting as smn can give you experience at an equivalent rate to a standard party. 51 is recommended as a minimum so that you can get a free Carby, but in a few levels you might try bringing some yagudo drinks to Eldieme and practice the technique on Azers.

When you get a party, place a marker on the pt camp you're at. Then, if you haven't gotten many pt invites, form a party and lead your party to a camp since you now have markers on your map meaning you have camps to choose from.

If you're willing to heal, making a party is easy because your halfway there. Just find a tank and you're gold. If you're up for a different experience, most bsts are quite willing to duo.

Omni · 08-02-2007, 08:24 AM

oh yea, bsts are usually pretty opened to duoing. I even duoed with a brd once that was trying to solo. It was a pretty cool experience. Getting elegy on the mob and minuets made chaining even easier in toua.

When i used to douo at times it was either another Bst or a Smn. There is always options out there for you. Regular parties, bst parties, Smn parties or solo.

You're having trouble with getting a party at 41? Odd... I got invites like mad from 35-50. I solo'd and did Carby burns on bombs for about 1/2 my exp for the 50's, though. Very fun experience.

eticket109 · 08-16-2007, 08:33 AM

a friend of mine has been lfg as a 47 smn off and on for about a week now. as of yet she hasn't gotten a party.

Sevv · 08-16-2007, 08:57 AM

make parties! <- best advice you ever get.

HairdewX · 08-16-2007, 10:20 AM

It's been getting harder and harder as of late to even make a pt. People are more impatient than ever and leave the pt even after only 15 minutes of looking for more members. A few times this past week we had 5 people and couldn't get that last person, and one person decides to bail and the rest just freak out and disband for no real reason...

Ahhhh your on ifrit /comfort people can be rash on ifrit, in my exp from leveling 3 jobs to 75 a 68 and most 40's. Just stick it out after 60 when alot of soloing happens.
