The moment I walked into Selbina, I was in a cutscene that directed me to see the mayor of the town. Unexpected CutscenesĪs I said, FFXI makes sure you can’t miss the Rhapsodies quests. It was when I first entered the town that the story started. So, I headed into the Dunes towards the outpost of Selbina. I remember so many hours spent out there trying to get to the point where I could enter the Dunes… I guess this was just karma kicking in letting me bypass it all. I was so high leveled by the time I headed in that direction that almost every thing was easy prey to me. I was surprised, however, that I completely by-passed the La Theine Plateau in my leveling progression, totally by accident.

So, even with my Trust-buddies, I knew I was going to be out there for a long time. Some of these are rated a 4-6% chance to drop based on the wiki. And you could group for hours and hours and hours trying to get one of the elusive drops. I know that I’ve succeeded in completing this quest at least twice, and that it was the bane of my existence all those years ago.įorced grouping was the only way you got this done. Level 18 is the magic number whereupon you can begin working on gathering items for the very long and very tiring Support Job quest. So, after completing my first city mission and gearing up, I realized I was really close to level 18. And the rewards they give speed up leveling and progression significantly. Similar to the main quest scenarios of FFXIV, this story makes it so that it’s very hard to miss. But apparently, as long as you at least have one expansion (which all NA users do, no matter how far back you go), the part of the story associated with the expansions you own are active.

I didn’t know what it was, and didn’t expect new content since I didn’t own any of the new expansions. I actually got my first cutscene back at level 5 when I entered the city for the first time. This is one of the newer pieces of content called “ Rhapsodies of Vana’diel.” The hope for this story is one of the reasons I decided to come back to this game again, so I was very pleased with the unexpected “main” storyline that became suddenly present in the game. Now, I’ve always heard that FFXI had a top notch story, but I’ve never been able to see it, since I never leveled past 20 with any character. Those who follow my blogging know that story is a huge part of a MMO’s experience for me. hmmm.įor 2279 and pretty much all vermin trials I typically opt for the chigoes in attohwa can gather the circle and they all like up on the east wall pretty nicely.I return to Vana’diel after not having played FFXI for over a decade. or for that matter the tenzen bow with the relic arrows.

#Ffxi where are huge wasps in la theine full
Am thinking of leveling the tp gktn as well, but wondering if aeonic would be better overall, even in full rng setup. While we are on the topic, anyone tried rng sam recently? Doing it more just for shrugs. Usually need to be 50-60% on other mobs though for reference, so soboro og is a bit slower in getting mobs there when the abyssea mobs "level up" and have more hp.

About to head out now, I am using the ilevel soboro from unm just to make sure the mobs die and I don't have to wait for x % as they will be there already 9/10 times by the time I have tp to fire. Haven't done on bow trials, but did on others. there are also lady bugs I suppose, but spiders seem to respawn often enough for me. Aby Mis, I did raptors, I used to do lizards but raptors aggro, so that can be nice if you can line things up.ĭid fish and crabs to avoid dealing with the nm on frogs.įor Vermin there is also the spiders in Vunk, but you do have to contend with the nm from time to time.
