  • Starting |Town?

    Hello i'm going to be starting the game i've read pretty much all the threads here but I have a question.

    putting aside the race i'm going to be and putting aside the benefit of obtaining a good starting free Ring.

    Which do you think its the best town to start in . I see for example as a Drk , you need fame to do Drain / Aspir quests etc..

    What town is the best to start, location wise , dungeon wise, conquest armor wise etc..?


    i know later on you can change your citizenship but its costs a lot of money .

    Thanks for all input.

    I can see why the regulars around here get so annoyed at repeat topics now. Jeuon is the best city. Start in Jeuno.

      San d'Orian conquest points pay off in the long run.

      However, San d'Orians are all a bunch of motherless bastards.

        to put it plain and simple for you:

        there is no 'best' or 'worst' starting town:

        Every town has its own CP(conquest point) gear that is worth something[decent] (rank 3+, on rag).

        Centurions : Bastok
        Mercenery Capt: Windurst
        Royal Arch(?): Sandy

        ---- There is a balance of power but on my sever it usually varies depending on the week :p :p

        Questing:
        Im hume, and i started in Windurst. I have done quests n' such at windy so I can get my aspir for free (minus travel costs). But i am forced to either do sandy quests or buy Drain for 15k (on my server). In any town you start in you will eventually have to do things for other nations to gain access to other areas.

        Location:

        Windurst is the farthest away from Valkurm (time wise, taking the boat sititng around waiting), but relativley close to Jeuno. Windy is HUGE, but dont be descouraged cuz it has alot of things to do. (In the area is also Maze of Shakirimi (sp) [dragoon quest], and buribimu (sp) penninsula [summoner quest])

        Sand'Oria is closest to valkurm but farthest away from Windurst, this is also the smallest town. (someone help me out im not from here)

        Bastok is close to where you can farm chocobo quest items, relativley close to valkurm - DRK quest here. (again, not from here so dont know much)

        Each town is a satellite nation to Jeuno and basically jeuno is where you will spend your time after lvl 32 (Looking for a Party). SE balanced this game (IMO) so every nation will have its role in your gameplay experience.

        once again i reiderate (sp) that No town is better than the other:p

        hope that helps

              I didn't say that I was annoyed exactly, but there are much more anal people that complain when people do this and I wanted to beat them to it

              Your question has been answered. What race/job are you looking at being?

                <- is one of the anal people, i belive in the main forums there was ring thread but as u posted this in an adv job forum its irrelevent, an adv job requires lvl 30, and by then u can just buy your city's ring from cp's (rank considered of course) so its purely for the sake of looking pretty i personally despise windhurst so many cArDiAnS, rrrr rrrrolling mithrrra, and cutesey-wutsey speaking taru, altho the french taru are amusing

                  For melee enthusiasts, I highly suggest going san d as your starting city. The cp items alone are worth it and are more useful at higher rank than other cp gear you can get, though bastok is decent second. The AH isn't so devoid of decent gear. It will be rough going without a starting ring if you're not an elvaan, but that is easily forgotten after a week or 2 of play.

                  I also like leveling up solo on orcs near san d rather than the bomb happy gobs at dangruff near bastok.
