Bump. Too Sunday-morning-ish to dredge up noob-memories.

Heh, I've had a few of these moments, but I can't remember many...

One that I do remember though, was when I was lvling PLD for the first time and had just got Protect. I was waiting for a friend to log on, so I was standing around in Southern San d'Oria protecting and healing newbies...Bad idea...

After a while i notice a few of them keep running around me, and I suddenly get a few /t's...what did they all say?

Newbie >> BUFF ME

Person - {Party} {Do you need it?}
Me - {Dance} {Party}?

Not really a noob moment, something that made them laugh, and a good party throughout.

And what happened to Funny Noob Saying Part I, can someone link that here? I seem to remember it having 56 or so pages :S

My NOOB Moment:

You know how the free taru warps you to Qufim on that rock?

I once spent an hour trying to get up there after seeing another player jump down XD

Somewhere in the depths of the dozens of pages from the anthology of Noob Sayings, I'm sure this has been mentioned before....

I leveled my Warrior to 30 with a sword and shield because I wanted to be a Paladin. Later in my career, when I had to finish leveling it for my subjob, I used a great axe. That was a much better decision.

Ah, I have another good one from a few years ago.

Me and a friend were on the boat from Selbina to Mhaura, probably heading to Windurst, I don't remember. I was DRK and he was RNG; we were probably around lvl 10.

But anyway, the pirates ended up spawning and we were sitting inside next to the captain and I suddenly say "Hey, you should shoot one through the window, they can't open the door". So he tried shooting one...and guess what. They can open doors. :P

Ok, I have a lot of newbie stories involving me and my friends and of course plenty of noob stories...naturally I can't remember half of them any more. Let's start at the beginning and see where my memory takes us, shall we.

FFXI is release to NA for the first time.
/em buys a copy on the 1st day
/em installs FFXI
/em read manual while waiting (Seemed like a good idea since this was my first MMO.)
/em patches
-sleeps-
/cheer and makes a character
Hume/Male/Bastok.

-starts-
Bastok Mines
Ohhh-Ahhhh...
/em wonders around Bastok. [Fixed "Newbie wonders around Bastok]

Having read the manual I knew about NPC's and PC's So gathered a few quests, even completed the first mission. Even looked back in the manual and found out how to heal. (I'm getting to the newbie part) See a lot of Japanese text in say and shiny high levels haven't said anything just minded my own business. So I'm still in Bastaok Mines (Don't remember why, if I had to guess I was lost.) This other 'new' play starts following me or was I following him (really don't remember). Then he says in say "Do you speak English?" To which I reply "Yes."
The follow is something along the lines of US: "OMG YOU SPEAK ENGLISH!!"

-Latches on to a friend-

"How do I add you to my friend list?" I look it up since at this point the manual is sitting on the desk beside me. (OH! That's what I was doing I was looking for Cid for M1.2) I help him complete M1.1 then get him started on M1.2 and tell him how I've been looking all over but can't find Cid. (All over being Basty Mines.) He agrees to help and runs off, so we search he finds Cid in about 5-10 min's. He tells me he found him and I ask him where he replies "Metalworks." I'm confused and dumbfounded and ask again "Where?" He then tells me about /map.

Seemed I missed that part in the manual (Yes I skimmed, so sue me.) So I zone into Markets for the first time and my reaction is something like "ZOMGoodness look at all the people!!" Using my trusty map I find the zone to Metalworks and find Cid. (Eventually)

/cheer

We meet back in the Market, just by the MH and looked at each other.

"Do you know where Dangruf Wadi is?"

-To be Continued-

Now this is not exact, but pretty damn close to what happened. Forgive my memory it's been a few years.

(You wanted to keep this thread alive, happy to oblige)

-Last Night-
I watched a subless MNK in Dunes ask a RDM/BLM for a tele about 10 times. (RDM was 60+ I believe) He eventually gave up and logged out.

Edit: Touch ups.

One of my favorite n00b moments I witnessed happened while I was partying off of weapons in Sauromugue when a WHM 11, no sub walks up to the party.

WHM: "I don't have a map...Where's Valkrum Dunes?"

Part of me was absolutely flabbergasted that someone that low, without a map, could survive, alone, from Windurst to halfway across Sauromugue without getting aggro and dying. The other half felt sorry for them, and I kindly described how to get over to Mhaura to ride the boat over.

This was when i first started the game.
Keep in mind i'm lv. 1 THF at the time and this was over a year ago so the exact words may not be correct except that last line. lol

Randomguyshouting: Teleport-Holla Can I have it? 2k Reward
I was also playing with a friend and we thought hey maybe we can make some money.
firstdaynoobme>> yes
firstdaynoobme<< You have teleport spells?
At this time we're like: oh no.
firstdaynoobme>> Cancel that, rumbutter.

It was funny to me and my friend as we were in the same room having some potent potables. That's my newb story :P

Oh! Oh! I have some...

Myself...newb with my first character (elvaan, now a mule). I was pretty lucky overall because my sister and brother in law got me into the game so they taught me quite a bit of stuff - the most useful of which was party dynamic and the role of tank in a party (at lev 5!) since I had chosen warr as a first job. They didn't tell me everything however...

- It took me like a week to find out there was more than just N Sandy. I was flabbergasted when I discovered S. Sandy...
- I, too, went over to Spook looking for a Revival Root for that quest...didnt even know there was a NM there, some guy just gave me the root. LOL!
- My first time to the dunes, someone had to come find me in la thiene! Then I died from a bogy right on the path in a ways, and iirc someone in my pt was casting deodorize to help against them!
- I, too was a n00b warr, with a lev 13 mnk sub (aiming for 30) and user of Teh Greatsword!
- On my Alek char, I was one of those rdm in the dooms who cast diaga... and couldnt figure out why we kept getting pugs. You know, YEARS later - my sis and bro in law STILL don't let me forget that.

Onwards to others...I recently started Brd and took it through the Dooms just last week. I actually did not bad with most pts, but I get this invite from a group of 18-19 while I was just 16! I think I am too low, but I thought, well I hate to be rude, so I hung out waiting. I kept asking about a healer, but I don't see one forthcoming. I /ch the warr - 18 with NO ARMOR excpet for a body pc! No healer still...I am getting worried. They pick up a blm.

Well the party leader says, "ok who is doing what?" No one ever answered me about a healer, so I said, "I know what I am not doing, I am not main healing.", which got no answer. They pull Sheep! right in front of Selbina! Thankfully not too bad to heal but I am a freaking bard, and the only reason I have more than 50mp is because I am wearing an astral. Meanwhile, the blm has like more mp leftover than I do altogether.

Me>> BLM, can you please help heal?
N00b>> Don't tell me how to do my job! Brds heal, blm kill stuff!

Me>> disband

Next day I had a classic horror party. After waiting forever to get a pt together we head off to Secret beach. Someone aggros a gob, which, with 5/6 18's should have been np, esp with a whm and warr. We wiped! It seems we had the classic warr who wouldn't voke, and a whm/thf who wasn't too sure about how to heal. So the warr logs altogether, the whm hps and disbands, and the blm leaves for another pt! I was all "grr! now have to waste another 30 mins getting reps..And on, the whm came back, then left again, and me and the 2 other experienced players just nickle and dimed ourselves up tnl killing crabs.

The next day I end up in a pt with this same whm in Qufim! But this time we had a PL, so it wasn't critical. Was interesting to see the progression of the whm. He had no spells so had to lot on nearly every spell the gobs in Delkfuts Tower dropped! But! He was actually a nice guy, and more importantly, he was seriously trying to learn. By the end of that party he had divine seal > curaga down, and reliably silenced the right gobs, etc etc, and I was really happy to see that he actually did have the makings of a decent whm. I guess the difference between him and the blm the day before was the whm ate up advice and tried hard, and the blm...well, you saw. ^^

I also got a nice one.

I haven played FFXI for a few months and 2 weeks ago, I picked it up again.

I decided to level my 30 ninja to 37 and I managed to get a party in Altepa.
During the 2nd fight, I wanted to voke the beetle again but unfortunatly, I pressed the wrong macro and Mijin Gakured... I completly forgot that I had even macro'ed it but after that I immediatly erased that macro.
My party was laughing so hard (<.<)
I told them that it was a few months since I played the game, and perhaps even a year siince I was ninja so they werent angry orso...
I so wanted to hide myself in a corner after that though. I thought that I would never do something like that.

Not really a noob saying as I think they were confused however I was asked some advice gear for Monk in the 60 range.

Person>>What do you suggest for a 60 almost 61 MNK?
Me>> What do you have now?
Person>> Mithra
Me>> umm gear. .

Actually the "person" is in my ls, i just thought it was to funny and had to share.

I had believed, and am still convinced that SA increases WS damage even on the "elemental" GK WS (Kagero, Jinpu, etc)... I SWEARS MY DMG INCREASES!!!!! I SWEARS IT!!
In my defense, in my entire WAR career, I haven't come across any elemental WS (Axe, G.Axe) and I rarely touch Sword while on /THF... I R TEH N00B!! ; ;
