If you don't see anyone running what you want/need to do, spend some time researching the dungeon/raid/trial then list yourself up as wanting a learning party! You'd be surprised how many people may bite. Even while listed up there you can ask your friends/linkshell mates/random RPC help-offerers to join up! And always remember, even if you don't end up clearing what you list yourself for, the in game experience/practice you get on the fight is priceless. Then you can list yourself on the PF again with 'experienced up till so-and-so' phase.(11-26-2014, 02:31 PM)Aris Wrote:^ Or even those dungeons I mentioned running. Seriously, no one's ever asked me "Hey kage you mentioned being open to helping. You got an hour or 2? Willing to help me out?"(11-26-2014, 01:33 PM)Steel Wolf Wrote: Yea....no....not a single bit of solo progression options out there.
Urgh.
"It's easy to get x item!" Right. Â Sure. Â I haven't seen a one of these "learning groups", and while guides and videos are a primer, they don't replace in-game experience.
Dammit...well, good for those moving along though.
I recommend checking the party finder. There are generally several on there, especially during EST afternoon/evening. Alternatively you could make one - T6/T7 and Shiva/Ramuh EX seem to fill up the quickest at the moment.Â
I'd be happy to come along if you ever need a healer, just send a message. I need practice and will help with what I can.Â
I've only really ever gotten a question like that... to heal T7 from people in my raid. Wanna run an expert dungeon? etc from them. People who mention not seeing learning parties... I don't hear anything or see anything about it except for here. I've seen a BCOB party in party finder even.
It's an MMO, you'll rarely find solo progression content beyond the MSQ. It's all about putting yourself out there and making the connections while getting what practice you can! Not every try is going to be a victory, but the ones who persist are the ones who persevere.
