Sadly half the posted gearsets in Niniann's thread no longer link to DNC sets. Some NIN, BLU, etc That would be my fault I guess. She mostly linked my (now gone) sets for the higher-end stuff and I've been at (probably well beyond but I don't dare delete a set) the item set limit for a long time, which forces me to cannibalize sets when I need to make new ones. Could use more tbh, but that doesn't seem like it'll happen.
At any rate, Niniann's guide is depreciated and she doesn't play DNC as much nowadays (not that either of us have really been on the past couple weeks). Sylow's thread is certainly the better option to link. No worries, it happens. Thanks for clarifying, though.

(Not saying it needs to be 100% correct, but considering it's a guide I feel the spelling and grammar should be correct, that is just my opinion however. *Wanders off*) Grammar nazi mod to the rescue!

wasnt sure where to post this. Just a question about this site. Are you limited to 100 uploaded screen shots? I noticed a while back that my screenshots portion of my profile was at 100. And always stayed at 100 even if i uploaded another image.

I just started today and verified my account with my character.
I tried to make a post about if players could rank "Easiest/Beginner Friendly" Jobs to "Advanced/Hardest" Jobs for endgame. How do I find it again and if it's posted or not? I wish I copied the text >.<

I wish I copied the text >.< well if you made the post you would see it under your account page when you click your name above your avatar, So i would assume you did not actually make the post you intended to.
Also idk what "easiest/beginner friendly" would mean to you but you have a small selection of jobs at the start of the game, all of them should be fine to start with.

I think he means for easiest/beginner friendly for endgame.
IMO
Very Easy: MNK, THF, WAR
Easy: DRK, RNG, BRD, SAM, DRG, NIN, COR, DNC
Mid: BLM, PLD, BST, SMN, BLU, PUP, GEO, RUN
Hard: WHM
Very Hard: SCH, RDM
This list assumes you are active with both main and sub job (otherwise for example GEO would be in Very Easy). This is also based on gameplay, not on equip requirements (BRD wouldn't be in Easy then)

Almost want to say move BRD to Mid just for the sheer number of times I've seen BRDs *** up songs and not know how to fix it...

I suppose if you consider replacing songs, you might be right lol

Thank you that is a good list.
When I played first job ever RDM in 75 era. Although it was fun at first. By endgame I had to master gear swap, macros, and keybinds on top of map awareness and understanding mobs and mechanics of endgame. I was too overwhelmed having several sets for everything Healer, Tank, Melee, Kiter etc. and needing to be flexible when I hadn't tried any other roles.
Now that there's much more content and have to chase PREMA eventually. I know RDM is not the best option right now. I think I'll start with MNK or THF until I familiaze and understand content first. I don't want job complications to get in the way.
For example, if I started bard and because I lacked content or map awareness, I decide to stand in a corner to buff a tank and end up spawning a horde of mandagoras. Again it's not necessarily because I'd be a bad bard but I just hadn't run the content 100s of times.
And choosing an easy job that dodges those types of scenarios and difficulties would help me break down the game and learn more efficiently.
It's not a job related mistake but moreso because I just didn't anticipate it because I never went through the content.

I think MNK is ‘hard’.
It’s not useful AT ALL in Ody C (so can’t get segs). I haven’t done much Sortie, but it doesn’t seemed used much in there either.

Like I said, it's list based on how hard it's for gameplay.
The tier list for mixed gameplay difficulty and easy of access to endgame would be:
Very Easy: WAR, COR, GEO, BRD
Easy: PLD, DRK, SAM, DNC
Mid: THF, RNG, DRG, WHM, BLU, MNK, RUN, BLM, RDM
Hard: SCH, NIN
Very hard: SMN, PUP, BST
Then if you add how hard it is to get gear to get into endgame (so all 3 things combined):
Very Easy: WAR, COR, GEO, PLD
Easy: THF, WHM
Mid: DRG, MNK, RUN, BLM, BRD, DNC, DRK, SAM
Hard: SCH, NIN, RNG, BLU, RDM
Very hard: SMN, PUP, BST
Well something like that

Thanks for your efforts!! I'd give you 5 stars & thumbs up!!
I copy pasted all of this as a reference :3
Evening folks! Alyria pointed out that we don't really have a newcomers' guide to FFXIAH.com forums and as a result, a lot of new posters aren't familiar with the functions or rules of the site. So this thread was made in order to alleviate some of these problems.
Forum Rules:
For an in-depth explanation of the rules, read this thread. One common thing that I would like to address is the profanity filter. This is a feature that keeps our site alive and running. Without it Google would pull our ads and the site would die. Going against it is a direct strike against the site. Here's a quick list of words:
ass
ballsack
bastard
bitch
biatch
blowjob
blow job
bollock
bollok
boner
bugger
clitoris
cock
cunt
damn
dick
dildo
fag/faggot
fellatio
felching
fuck
f u c k
fudgepacker
fudge packer
flange
Goddamn
homo
jizz
knobend
knob end
labia
muff
nigger
nigga
penis
prick
pussy
queer
shit
s hit
sh1t
slut
smegma
tit
twat
vagina
whore
I feel sick...
The profanity filter mainly applies to pictures, unless used excessively in posts.
If you're not logged in to the site, or are under a certain age, profanity is filtered automatically according to the list above. However, it cannot filter pictures, thus posting pictures with the previously stated words is bad. Profanity in simple posts is acceptable as long as you aren't going overboard with it. cr: Bahamut.Rulerofdarkness

The Search Function:
Before you make a new thread, make sure you search previous topics. This can be done by going here and clicking Topics and then typing in general terms for your thread. If nothing pops up, you're clear. If a thread pops up that fits your topic just bump it.
The topics button is highlighted here:
The Wanted Feature:
FFxiah has an awesome feature that allows us to display our interest in an item and how much we're willing to pay for it. This feature can be found here. Just type the name of the item and how much you're willing to pay. After that, just wait and hope someone shoots you a pm.
The Block Function:
When a user has driven you off the edge and you can't handle it anymore, instead of pointlessly arguing with them, simply add them to the nifty Blocklist. Doing this will make your FFXIAH.com experience a metric ton better.
Useful threads:
FAQ:
Why aren't my achievements showing up?
If you're updating your Guildwork profile from the Linkshell Community site, make sure nothing is set to private. Even something as simple as having your missions set to private will keep it from updating. After that, make sure your character is linked correctly. Go here and make sure that your Guildwork username is written correctly in the Guildwork slot. If your issue is still not resolved, feel free to bump one of the many threads and state your problem.
How do I obtain xyz? cr: Ragnarok.Ashman
There are 4 links on each items page to some helpful wiki's / pages of use.
BG Wiki for newer stuff,
GE Wiki and Wikia for older stuff. cr: Phoenix.Elspetta
Also, people are nice enough to usually post where to obtain an item in the comments section.
If all else fails, or perhaps you're browsing on a phone or 3G, please at least say "i'm too lazy to look, will you help anyway?" or "i looked and couldnt find it" or whatever. I, and most likely others, are more inclined to help someone who's honest.
More will be added! Suggestions would be awesome.
