Tired of spending hours seeking for an exp party? Consider making your own party! It's not too terrible. This guide is aimed at helping you become a party leader and putting together an exp group.
Why Me?
Why not? Usually there are tons of people seeking at multiple level ranges. Especially during prime time. All it takes is someone to wragle a group together. That someone can be you!
Searching for and Inviting Party Members
Type in the command /sea all x-x invite. Where X is the levels of folks you want to search for. For examples: /sea all 19-29 invite will populate a list of people leveled from 19 to 29 seeking a party.
If you see someone seeking for a role you need to fill in your party you can select them from the list and message them directly via /tell and ask them to join your party. ***It is considered rude to invite people without first talking to them.
Multiple jobs fit multiple roles, i.e.: RDMs can act as a main healer or support in a traditional party. Make sure to ask if they want to fill that role. Some folks prefer a specific role.
Party Compositions
The traditional exp party consists of 1 main tank, 1 main healer, 1 support, and 3 damage dealers. A party also needs a dedicated puller, someone who will pull mobs for the group. Examples of jobs that will traditionally fill those roles are:
- Tank: PLD WAR NIN
- Healer: WHM RDM
- Support: RDM BRD SMN
- Puller: THF SAM RNG
- Damage Dealers: WAR MNK BLM THF DRK BST RNG SAM DRG
Other party compositions to consider are mage "burn" parties, typically consisting of 2 SMNs and 4 BLM.
