@_@ questions...answers? yes please...Follow

Ok I got a sh*t load of questions about a sh*t load of topics...the search for knowledge and out-of-game discussion was like 2/3's reason for me evening signing up here.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Jobs
1. What is a good sub for thf? (now I have been 33 thf 2 times and now am 37 thf..I just want HIGHER ups info on this question)

So far I am using these subs for these reasons...if there is folly in what I am doing please...instead of undercutting me and flaming me pls just help me out.

/rng farming Crawlers and hunting NM's(I have yet to get good at this)

/war DDin' in a party

/nin so far only solo...what are the potential uses? I tried thf/nin last Zane and I had lots of ppl saying "Um..sub warr nin is for soloing" /cry

/mnk I no longer use this but up till you get Viper Bite it kicks a$$ equip Strike Knukles(+2 dex) heh and then boostx20 SA Combo = ouch :D

My 2nd main job is mnk...I was thinking mnk/thf cause of kinda the same reason as the thf/mnk cept backwards :P another player even told me he uses this and ppl talk crap until he decimates a poor mob then sits back and grins all smug like.
/war is obvious...but what else IS there good for mnk to sub and actually get invites?

Nin...Warr um I hate them but I gotta level them >< I'm just don't enjoy the tanking part of battle...

Ok...I got other questions now they are not exactly the most SECRET things in the game lol just stuff I dont know.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Conquest Points

Do you even get them just by leveling up ANYWHERE? And how do you EFFECTIVELY gain more besides just lvling? I once was roaming wild in Jugner with my homie Cruzaga and we came across like 20+ SquiresOfSandoria killing off a bunch of orcs and running around...I forgot what they said they were doing at that time...I just want more points for instant warp scrolls lol I am holding my LAST one ; ;
----------------------------------------------------------------
Language Translator

Does ANYONE know where to find a list of key words and all the phrases availible on this crap p.o.s.? LOL @ "level" not being in it XD
I would like to somehow suggest words and/or new phrases for them to add if you could post some of your ideas for this then we could put them all together then get like alot of us to send them the SAME list and MAYBE they will get off their a$$'s and add some of them...I can dream right?
----------------------------------------------------------------

Um yeah how do I do this, how many are needed, ideal jobs, etc etc etc...
----------------------------------------------------------------

BCNM20

WHY THA F**K DID SQUARE MAKE THAT CRAP SO LINEAR? I can't find a smn or a bst to help me so far...I tried with thf pld and a drk...we did well even though the ppl in Sandy were right. WE WERE DOOMED! We killed one of the Furies then the Colo Colo red bat did some **** and down goes the pld...it was downhill from there on. /sigh
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ight that is all I can think of off the top of my head atm...that and I wanna go see if the server is not f***ed still.
I hope you guys/gals reply with some usefull info I can take to heart. Please don't hesitate in being wordly heh I like to read so cut and dry comments will help but not as much as in-depth explanations. {thank you} /bow /wave

To zane: 1st cause this is easy to answer, put the ffxi disc in your ps2 (the one you used to install) it has a 'view intro movie' option or some such.

K on the thf sjs. I'm no thief, i hate thief, its the opposite of a 'fun job' for me, so maybe i'll be wrong. I can see sub rng being good in pts if you use a crossbow alot, it helps the thfs actually do some damage aside from sata, my friend plays this and he's lvl 50 (stopped to powerlevel woodcraft x.x) so you shouldnt have too much trouble.

On mnk sub, this is viable even after you have viper bite, but warr is probably better for berserk and such. Has anyone ever thought that you could, gasp, use weapons for your mainjob even though your sub has martial arts -.-;; Just use a dagger and boost up for viper bite, same concept + dodge/focus are nice, thought not that great for thf.. whens a thf gonna get the hate, or worse, MISS. =P

War sub seems to be the king of subs. Attack boost and berserk alone make this pretty good, and having vokes allows your 2hr to be useful if you need it to be. and 50-55 you have double attack, and 55+ its even better having double attack activate off of your triple attack hits.

Nin, this will be a message to all jobs using sub nin and then thf. 1st, daul wielding weapons that don't add stats is pointless pre-50 and pre-25 for main nin. If you have a 20damage axe normally wielded, and then you dual wield another 20damage one. You will do the same damage over all just wielding 1/2 axes so save yourself the stupidity and wear a shield offhand. Now if your weapons add str or acc or other stats then using them over a shield is viable, like centurions swords, which are god as far as dual wielding goes @ early levels. For thf/nin speciffically, i believe nin has second highest dex(behind thf) and third highest agi, (rng/thf/nin) thus the stats are well tuned to your job. Utsusemi is nice for pulls in case something causes you to get hit, but its much better for soloing. its pretty hard for a good thief to get aggro (if your trying to get aggro your a bad thief. BAD! sit, stay.)

As i said<<Not a thf, hate thf, its @lvl15 and there it stays. But i think i've been helpful. You get conquest points for gaining exp with signet on. More CP for larger exp gains. You can also do an expeditionary force for CP, but im not gonna explain it ask a friend >.>. (I'm lazy today)

List? i dunno a list. And why would you think squenix would add auto-trans for NAs, they dont tend to respond to us >.>, it makes me sad./cry SE

Garrison, you need specific items for different regions. Red cryptex ronfaure, darksteel plate (something like that) gustaburg,7 knotted quipis sarutabaruta. There are more garrison locations but the higher than 20cap garrisons arent too popular.
If your a well prepared rdm you can solo garrisons. Other than that a full alliance is ussually used, i dont organize them so i dont know the ideal setup, just know healers are needed quite a bit, you gotta save your pts butts and the npcs too ><

BCNM20.... there wasnt really a serious question in that...

So looks like i'm done here, that was a long post, /doze
Goodluck on whatever and such, bais

good info, RAWR!!!!!!!!!

I just said this... o.O

I probably know but seem to of forgotten, why am I in your signature? lol

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I get it lol I'm a noob.

As far as the thf sub, unless you can afford a Sarashi, I'd go with /war until 46, at which point you get Bone Knife +1's, the first dagger that really makes dual-wield worth it. You can sort of get away with dual-wielding a Caveley's and a Marauder's, but the Caveley's dagger is on the list of weapons that were changed to have weird damage calculations that emphasise str more. If you're elvaan/galka, I'd go that route, but not otherwise. If you can get the Sarashi, you'll find that you do more damage with a war sub, but get TP faster with a nin sub.

From 50 on, the subs are about equal, with pros and cons to each, but you'll find that the vast majority of people expect you to sub ninja.
