1.) Do not make fun of the lv.75 Mithra for having a tail, she probably has plenty of high-level friends with influence
2.) When someone asks you to powerlevel her for 20k per hour in the Valkurm levels, do not report her to a GM for violating the ToS.
3.) Despite how cool you think it is, DRAGOON IS NOT A GOOD SUPPORT JOB FOR RED MAGE
Would have saved my butt back in the day.
...Yeah, I was an idiot.

1. Keep all those beastmen's seals ;-;
2. Do NOT walk to Jeuno as a level 23 from Windurst and set your homepoint there for no reason because some random dude told you "Jeuno is pretty much where all the level 20's (20+) hang out..."
3. Learn to wiki so I didn't end up walking BACK to windurst thinking the chocobo quest was started there, then realizing it's BACK in jeuno. ; ;

1) Don't Join that "LS with Lots of cool members" it will save you alot of drama.
2) Farm all your gil in 2004, don't spend any of it you'll be rich for the rest of the game.
3) Spend more time farming sky, all that awesome solo fun will be moot whenAbyssea comes out and level cap is incrased, making all sky NMs as easy as an EP mob.

1. Use the black list function...It's a good thing.
2. Don't level goldsmithing as your main craft go with smithing or cloth craft.
3. Don't fish for moat carp for 3 months and sell/give them to someone, fish them and trade them in for a better fishing pole.

Ebody still better for Rampage than Twilight Mail, cause bst's shitty attack really lowers that ws's potential.

-Abuse high prices. farm like hell, and abuse the 1M/$5
-Sell your crap before mass ban, re-buy later
-Boot "mr ibuyfriendswithgil" from LS when he joins. will save gazillions of drama
-dont ignore Assault shouts. wont be any later on
-dont bother on FF14

1.) Don't be so quiet when you are confused. No one is going to eat your face for asking questions when you are level 1.
2.) No, you cannot sell, wear, or eat the beastmen's seals. That does not mean you should drop them.
3.) Stinging Sophie looks just like every other bee on the hill. She does not hit as gently as every other bee on the hill, though. This is why you should read the names of mobs before running up and poking them with your dinky bronze knife.

I remember starting as WHM and not being able to have enough gil for cure and later protect. I also bought some blm spell I couldn't use.
I also dropped all the seals and bead necklaces I got cause npcs wouldn't buy them

1. /heal allows you to recover hp
2. do not throw away the blitz ring you bought for 3k
3. rdm was not a sub for drk
lol
By Nikolce 2011-01-24 19:12:49
1.) Equip your weapon before running out into West Ron
2.) Gob armor and all the other things you toss or npc, sells on the ah or is used in/for a quest.
3.) Go get online and find the wiki gdi!
My friend would look things up on-line and print it out and then we would go try to do things like unluck pup and cor @30 with nothing but printed directions on how to get there. Of course this was before we knew you could buy sneak oil and invis powder, not that we could have afforded to buy any lol.
/cheat
4.) CoP can wait!!!!

1. DO NOT LEVEL BLM AS YOUR FIRST JOB.
2. Level any melee job and WHM. You will thank me for the variety.
3. Don't throw away the Beastmen seals, you need those.
4. Find a good linkshell right away.
I think that's most of the things I had issues with..

i'd have only one big thing of advice...
no matter how hard you try, or how far you run, you CAN'T find where they are launching those huge fireworks from.
>.> spent my entire first summer event thinking you could buy those fireworks and that people were launching them off somewhere XD

- On day 1 of starting dont follow high level ppl into areas just cause u think they do it so it must be cool.
- Lvl war asap to 50 its going to be a good sub for all Melee jobs.
- Dont think that just because u have a sorc ring equipped means its working.

Two years down the line and I still haven't learned my lesson on this one.
(Calem) Hey guys I found another scorpion for our trial! :D
(Calem) {Found it!} >> Sargas << {Full attack!}
(Calem) ... Oh wtf.
Anyway.
1. If a Quadav in South Gustaberg checks as an 'even match' to your RDM8/---, do not engage it as the game is lying to you. Also don't try to reraise right after you die with the damn thing still standing over your corpse.
2. When a random player sends you a /tell saying "Me and my friend just got a pair of Bounding Boots but don't need them, you can lot them if you want", don't say "I don't need them either" just to avoid the embarassment of admitting you don't know what the hell he's talking about.
3. The Cold Light of Day is NOT a good way to make money. Do not spend a week of your life repeating this quest.

2. Don't Level BLM first
3. 47396, write that down, you'll thank me later.
LOOOOL. ^

Yeah this was incredible. Someone want to explain this to me? Apparently I'm a noob.

1. Do not take a break during the great inflation! I think I was in the middle of moving at the time but thats no excuse!
2. FF11 is not every like every FF game out there..there is no such thing as "Ill get to the end of the game and have all the money I can imagine and then I can spend it on everything I need" 8( I dont know what the game is like now but for several years I figured Id get to 75 and just be rich because Id collect tons of money along the way and that never happened. I shoulda been a crafter or something >.>
3. Sharing an account with your siblings in HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE and impossible..even worse if you're on 2 different servers..lol
cant think of anything else..I never dropped beastmen seals, I started with rdm, lvl'd my subs etc etc
And tell him/her a helpful piece of info the help em out, you get 3 things to tell em!
