As discussed in another thread, FFXIV doesn't lend itself to the large community style events that we run in the main Gaiscioch chapters.  It's just a different style of game.

That said, there are big benefits to grouping up!  Here are a few I'd suggest we try:

 

Grouping for XP Chains (2-8 people)

You get the same XP for killing a mob solo, or in a group.  And the same with XP chain bonuses.  The difference is that groups can chain kills faster, and for much longer.  HUGE xp bonus if you are killing lots of mobs.

 

Grouping for Gathering XP Chains (2-8 people)

Same idea as above, but while gathering.  I've never tested this so I don't know if it works... but if it does, WOW!

Edit:  I was able to verify that this doesn't work.  Oh well!

 

Jumping the Queue - Duty Finder

If you are a tank or healer preparing to queue for Duty Finder, invite some DPS from the guild before you queue.  You'll still get your fast queue time, and your guildies will get to jump the long DPS queue.

The queue-up one is a HUGE thing for guildies! Especially since the people in Gaiscioch on the whole will be a better contribution to your group than XXLORDXXSEPHAROTHXX420 from the random dungeon finder

Not just that Luskin, they will be in RaidCall.  Probably the thing I hate most about running pug dungeons is no one talking.

Lucky me, Veronika is Archer and I guess the Bard job is more DPS now?  That's the first Job I'm going for on her.  My other toon, Bumblebee will get Scholar first, but my little Lala-in-memoriam is mostly a private side-project, so I'm not sure how I'll utilize her, yet.

Good tips, Shmi thank you for sharing.  So the max group size is 8 people in FFXIV?

8 is the max size for a single party -- called a "full party".  When we get to the harder dungeons (around level 50?) they will start to require full parties instead of the "small party" of 4 we see in the lower levels.  There's supposed to be also a raid configuration of 24 called an "alliance" coming too.  I don't think that's in game yet, but I haven't really looked.

At the moment with Briseadh, I'm L20 archer and L12 conji.  The cool thing is I get the heal, raise, and whatever that 30min protection spell is called to throw in as needed if things get in a pinch.  That at least is the cool thing with how skills can cross even if the bard I was heading for is going to be pretty much DPS.

The fun part will be learning how each of us plays and learn to improve our skills.  

Don't mess with Mama Bear, I might hug you too tight. =D

Oh, that's nice.  I like games with 8 person parties, it just makes things seem less... cliquish.  I'm trying to remember some games that had 8 person parties, but drawing a blank atm.   Seems like games have been reducing party size more and more over the years, Dragon's Prophet adventure mode (hard) dungeons only require 3 people and I think 4 is max that can group together.
