Re: Looking for a new mud to play
A few more things atop those few more things before my things:
1. Take control of when you level.
When you first start out, it is shockingly easy to over level yourself to the point of being level 30 but only having a couple of job levels in a couple of jobs. Stats and hp are nice, but if you only have the piddling start attacks from your jobs at your disposal you're going to have a terrible time. I'd recommend asking for a rotten experience egg right off the bat..
Rotten experience eggs stop you gaining experience from kills and militia raids as long as you have them equipped and can be bought from the chocosquare in the golden saucer for 400 choco coins. Players usually amass stacks and stacks of these coins doing races to level their chocobos and have no problem handing you an egg if you ask.
While not gaining experience and not leveling sounds counter intuitive, this allows you to comfortably sit at say... level 15 for as long as you like, gaining AP in as many jobs as you like, to whatever job levels you like.
2. Fill out the job tree early on:
Higher end jobs require you have job levels across a bunch of other jobs (TempleKnight fuck you) this means that you'll be grinding out job levels in jobs that you're really not optimized for at level 60 or so. Doing this later on is garbage, as death is much more costly at this stage, stuff hits harder and so on.
3. Exploit chemist early on:
Seriously... Knot of rust kills it at low levels as the attack doesn't scale off of stats that you don't have. If you spend your AP that you get from the tutorial on squire's gained AP up, go kill a few rabites, learn knot of rust from chemist and use both these things you'll have a pretty effective setup to carry you through the first few levels. Combine with your rotten experience egg for best results.
4. Level chemist:
Chemist's late game combat abilities are basically broken and not in a good way, but it's utility abilities more than make up for it. You'll want to learn the hell out of everything as this job as a secondary will become a life saver when you have to farm battle points in the battle arena for the nice items there.
