So by now, I'm sure we've all had our fair share of these. Yet, here comes another. But since it's mine, it's relevant Alright alright, I'll stop being cocky sheesh... Actually with the sheer number of people having problems, it's a surprise that there isn't a general "ask and receive help/info" thread... not that I'm saying this should be it.
My trouble, aside from apparently a computer that runs the game a bit slow (but I can deal with that!) Are two things. Firstly, I'm sort of having trouble finding a bit of motivation to do things. There are several reasons for this. The melee system is fine, though a bit slow on my computer and I'm sort of having trouble getting the thrill out of kills like I used to, but the mining and crafting systems are a bit harsh. Outside of leveling stuff for leves, finding the bloody materials to make anything decent is practically impossible. And, from my understanding, I can't actually start the quests to get the training to learn how to make the crafts myself until I get a few levels on it. This strikes me as slightly messed up, as the only really dependable way I can level is through the levequests and sucks for me if I can't manage to pull the ones I can do that day (or two... my schedule has been really busy...)
The second problem I have is with finding the money to do anything. Now, I know that there are city quests I can do, but I don't think that those will be around forever either. I suppose I could sell stuff, but outside of marmot skins, I'm not sure what is actually worth going after to sell to the NPCs. I know that also leaves the marketplace, but... well, I've had my 19 pieces of moko grass (@200 ea) and 100 fire shards(@300) in there and they still haven't sold. I'm not asking to be godly wealthy or anything, but I'd sort of like to feel like I can depend on at least 5,000 gil a day in order to get things done... And with the rate some of these people sell gear that's practically a minimum if you want to have stuff that is worth going for. Or isn't the same old intro gear.
Anyways, this isn't a complaining thread, this is a call for information and help. What have you guys done that have been particularly helpful for these things? I'd think a lot of problems would be resolved if I had the money (I could buy some of the necessary ingredients from NPCs, for example), but as of right now the whole system is so slow it's kinda gummy. Any paths or methods that you find helpful would be greatly appreciated.
