The Struggles of a Dragoon
Posted On June 30, 2008 08:56 AM by Ryuki

Another rant~

When I finally decided to pick up DRG again (it was sitting at 61 while I was lvling PLD straight to 60).. I was having some good luck here and there, but I was always hindered from lvling due to a static that wasn't much of a static. 

Basically what happened was, my static would barely be on, and when she was on, she'd be too busy wanting to do other things rather than lvl up her non-main.  So here I'm thinking..  "Why am I staticing my main with someone who doesn't have her static'd job as a priority?"  Naturally, it would be a stupid idea to continue such a thing, so I decided to break off the static.  Which, lead her to being mad at me (which really she had no right to be).  Ever since then, I climbed and climbed in levels.  SLOWLY, but surely, did I keep getting higher..  but as I hit LV 73, everything went downhill.  No party invites, no free camps, struggling so much just to get SOME form of exp.  Now, I'm LV74..  WAS 12k tnl, and now 15k tnl (I died trying to solo, and just HPed due to frustration).  I haven't gotten an invite to a party since Lv72 (all the other times, I made the parties myself), so you can probably see why I'm struggling.

I can't seem to hit the final level, because no one wants a DRG; I also highly doubt I'd be able to merit even when I hit that final lvl.  I'm stuck, frustrated, and no way to climb.  Soloing was already thrown out the window because I apparently like the ability to..  I don't know.  At this rate, I may as well hang up my polearm and resign as DRG, the only class I really cared for on FFXI.

Just campaign it. If you have /mage you can survive campaign and tank mobs better than most paladins (because they all show up as /dnc or /nin to campaign... wth). I got 75 through Campaign after realizing why I hate merit pts so much.

And well, we were duoing, but I think you might be able to handle them solo. Just watch out for the Goldsmiths, but you should do reasonably well taking out the Qiqirn in the undersea ruins (Nyuzl Isle staging point). The goldsmiths can be killed but they are insanely annoying with their stealing of gear off your body.

Seriously though. Campaign. Good stuffs. And its fun. Unlike most pts at that level.

try making a drg cannon.  Those get exp fast, no down time, great kills, and they roam.  I always hear drg is the hardest to level, but that was before the fix.  anyways...dont hang up your polearm just cause you can't get a pt. 74 is pretty much 75.  15k is easy to get just solo those damn colibri outside, slow but steady exp. For some reason my COR doesn't get invites either.  Perhaps everyone's just busy catching up on the WoTG missions, and getting pop items for the ZNM.  Just dont quit a job you've worked this long for...

I really don't know whats wrong with your server lol but on mine drg is always welcomed at bird/bard pt's. It rather annoys me to tell you the truth lol. Here I am up top in middle camp in Bhaflau pulling like crazy with my peacemaker and light shots, and there always seems to be a 2 brd, rest drg party right below me and pulling my birds! I swear it's enough to make me downright morose at times lol. Don't give it up, you're almost there. DRG FTW!

Aww don't get so frustrated. Just do like me, I havent had a PT since level 64. My smn is now 67 and probably going to be 75 through campaign. Funny, but it really does work you can make alot of exp over time there. Since Diabolos server is pretty lazy with campaign, bastok has grauberg [S] gettnig attacked so much because all the surrouding quadav areas are already taken over. That means, yup, 3k exp a battle hahaha :3
