Greenest Newb

[Havoc]

Ok, so I've been playing one single MMORPG since like 2004. And recently I just got fed up with the problems and thought to look around for something new.

I found a few since then that dont last more then a few days. I've yet to log into the game, but ive been reading up and looking at the forums and wiki. It's very appealing and I can't wait to get in game.

Now, the community in FF seems fun, what server do you guys recommend for a complete newb that has never logged on before??

And what class would be best to start off with? I was looking at the Archer class since it seems pretty straight forward stat wise. 25 spr rest Str. It's all strange to me since i came from a game that Dex=Atk and Str was atk for melee not range. Anyways, Im trying to get the hange of it.

Would that be a good class to start off with? In order to get more gears etc? Or is there a less gear oriented class that can go without having haxd gears to be strong for a while?

I think, that covers everything....Oh, the names Javi. And I hope this game is the one for me, I hate MMO hopping =/ I have no home!!

Pretty much all the classes have random chances of having their class-gear drop. Of all the classes, Clerics can probably get by with the least "hax'd" gear due to their main role being healers. You'll need to find a dedicated party though if you don't go offensive.

I'd suggest Fighters as a starting class. Survivability with some lethality while getting a feel for basic gameplay and aggro range.


Welcome here.

Thanks for the welcomes. What's the most active server? If in case I wanted to go cleric I would have the highest chance for parties.

teva or bijou

Epith server is fun! (Oh who am I kidding, I just want to play wif u )

I would choose cleric, less complicated than being a fighter XD Archer is good too, they arent too terribly squishy like mages, and they have the highest starting attack.

Welcome.

Welcome!!!

Teva, Bijou, and Epith are the most populated servers - Teva is the oldest, I think, and is a high level server mainly. Legal and Cypion are new, and probably have more of the lower levels. I would go with Epith, just because Raini seems pretty willing to pull you in and help you learn the ropes.

Each class has it's own advantages, but cleric is probably the slowest to level unless you party all of the time. Archer is a good choice, can pull mobs from a distance, and the one I play levels fairly quickly. Make sure you learn product making skills right away - I recommend scrolls and stones if you are looking to make in-game money. That will help you buy better gears from other players faster. Good luck and have fun!!!

Thanks Helion, that was very helpful. Yeah, I decided going with the Archer. It was very confusing mechanics at first. And the town and the way they change from maps confused me. But im getting the hang of it. I've learned to use most of it now...the only thing I havent touched is the product making skills. Alchemy I think its called. You cant get those skill points back right?

Edit:And I jumped into the game thinking Bijou for some reason. And I got a name I really liked. And it's taken on Epith. Do all the servers share one name? Or are they each individual servers where new names are made up??
