Asking For Help

One of the biggest aspects of this game is getting help for missions, notorious monster drops and Artifact Armor quests. It can both be a fulfilling and daunting task to say the least. Since I have two jobs at level 75 I've received and given help on any number of things.

If I can offer any advice for people seeking help, it's this: come prepared! I had a guy wanting me to help him with his first piece of Blue Mage AF which involves running through Mount Z and fighting a Flan NM deep in the heart of the zone.

We were getting ready to set out when I asked if he could sub Ninja since there are many Bomb mobs that will aggro if you cast spells like Sneak and Invisible. He said he did not have Ninjitsu which I found a little disturbing. So I said "no matter" and asked if he could pick up some Prism Powders or Sneak Oils instead. He said he was broke. Again, a little disturbing to hear this. So, I suggested that he sub Dancer instead...he said he could not. So, I told him we wouldn't be doing this tonight. He didn't seem to pleased with this idea and immediately left.

So again if you want help on something...please come prepared! I'd suggest bringing three things whenever you set out: Some form of Sneak, Invisible and Reraise.

But, if you really want to speed things up: know where you are going, how to get there and what you will be facing during your adventure. DO NOT expect your high level help to baby step you through this game...it's both frustrating and leads to people not wanting to help anyone.
