Hey all.
Resuming after a couple months of inactivity. Leveling mage jobs this time around from pretty much scratch.

Been stuck in the 15-18 area for awhile with blm and scholar mostly due to my refusal to grind the mobs I can actually solo around the dunes area for far below acceptable exp and complete lack of response to my LFG tag.

Just wondering if anyone around these parts would be able to get me the hook up on a regular leveling group or at least let me know what the prime times are for actually finding a party in that sandbox.

BLM won't get invites like they used to, hence why I retired from the job.

SCH should get more invites as a main healer. Another option is to duo FoV pages, you can level very quickly if you can partner with a decent melee.

What is the endgame like for blackmage? Will I likely be able to do the "fun" stuff with others or will I forever be cursed to walk the path alone?

That's the thing about BLM, eveyone WANTS them for endgame stuff, but no one wants to let them level in parties. It's a curse, but they have it better than BST, unles you're in MI, that is.

Interesting. So would the thing to do until then be just solo/duo easier stuff until I get to the point where I can take higher level worms and pet mobs?

Any suggestions on what jobs would make the optimal leveling partner?
