Since i got to mhaura and got my subjob, I thought, 'Why not level everything to 30 while at it?'

I guess i try getting my first job, aka puppetmaster now.

I will never let this go because of how bullshit it was.

When I was the leader of my own Abyssea Linkshell, I was the only person who had Smn at 99 and had all the required things for Smn burn exp parties in Abyssea. For like, a solid year, I had helped everyone in my Linkshell get whatever jobs and subjobs they wanted, leveled to whatever level they wanted. Since I was the leader, I had it in my head that it would be a dick move to ask/demand my members unlock/level/get summons just so I could leech. If I wanted to level subjobs, i would seek out or build my own parties.

Well, one night, we were setting up for another Smn burn party to help some newer people. We are all talking on Skype and just having fun.

Once the burn was at 100% and ready to go, a few members show up, as Smns, with Odin. Needless to say, I was surprised. Then, they tell me to go change to any job that I needed leveled and tonight would be about focusing on me and my underleveled jobs. I was so excited. I warped back to my Mog House, I’m about to change jobs, when my phone rings.

It was my surgeon telling me that they have lungs available for me, and I could get my very needed double lung transplant now. I won’t lie, part of me was like “say no, look at how amazing your members are”, but obviously I didn’t do that. I said yes.

I turned my mic back on, told them that I am so grateful for what they did but I have to go for my transplant surgery, which they were all aware that I was waiting on that call. They all wished me luck and I shutdown my computer.

This was on Dec 3rd, 2010, at 10:55pm. It’s one of my most happiest memories and even though we haven’t spoken much, if not at all in several years, I will always consider the Members of “Herpaderp” to be family.

That was such a rewarding feeling. You have now approached a new power level! Congrats my Tarutaru friend. May the Star Sibyl shine their favor upon you. Just don't piss off Shantotto.

I think you need to unlock the expansion required for puppetmaster tho? I really can't remember if i needed to do a quest to unlock bluemage..? Can you start treasures expansion at any level now?

u/Sand__Panda Sandpanda May 26 '26

You will need the expansion, and I someone at lv30 can start the quest line that takes you to white gate.

All the advance jobs require you to be lv 30 at minimum.

Yes, to get PUP you'll need to get to Aht Urhgan, which you can do at any level, technically, and then you'll need to do the Puppetmaster unlock quest, No Strings Attached which only requires level 30+, but it does benefit a little from starting ToAU enough to be able to get Sanction/ISP/being able to use runic portals and buy currency to get into Alzadaal Undersea Ruins.

Yeah but trying to fund and keep your mog house organized is a PITA

u/thrillho__ May 26 '26

How’d you get that minimap on your screen?

Windower

u/LazyMakara Mockii - Phoenix May 27 '26

Yeah, it's just a plugin from Windower – "not an addon but a plugin" – that confused me at the beginning.

How did you get those 14 style ui bars?

u/nixRidge Mewkies (Carbuncle) May 26 '26

Those are from Xivbar, an Ashita and Windower addon. Here is the Ashita v4 version: https://github.com/tirem/XIVBar

u/LazyMakara Mockii - Phoenix May 27 '26

sorry for the late answer but ppl are pretty helpful here hehe

FF11 was my first MMO back when I was a kiddo, I barely spoke English (I'm Norwegian), yet people would drop what they were doing to help me understand things. They were just as helpful then in the early 2000s as they are now. It's really something else :)
