Ok so here's my problem.

I only get a few hours a night to play maybe 2 at max due to work and family. I have a few jobs at 90 and not one piece of AF3+1 yet. When I log in most people in the shell are busy already and hard to find help gewtting seals needed. What is the best way to get them solo or duo? Jobs in priority SMN BST NIN RDM WAR SCH . I have a few seals for body hands feet ect..ect.. It has taken me awhile just to get the ones I have.

Any info or solutions to speed things along would be greatly appreciated.

Resistance Ops give a random seal now and then, can be done once per game day, and some of them are very fast. It's not a primary source of seals, but can be done quickly while waiting on other things to happen. Dominion pages can be done with an xp group, but it's very random.

Quests give a limited number of seals, is usually soloable, but could be a very long time before you see a single seal of the type you want yet alone a sufficient quantity to upgrade. They're also of very uneven difficulty, one quest may be incredibly fast and easy and give a few seals you want, while others may be long, tedious, involve drops from mobs/NMs. Many of them require zoning in and out of abyssea before being able to repeat them, and may require high levels of fame to start. I generally would not do any quest unless it was incredibly fast/easy or I was extremely bored.

NM fighting is probably the fastest way to get seals, many of them can be low manned, and most have a chance for multiple drops. I've seen a friend two box a lot of seal NMs with either THF and WHM or MNK and WHM. I'm sure other combinations can work as well. To effectively low man, you'll need to have a good selection of Atmas and Abyssites already.

Meanwhile, I suggest going through that job list and selecting a small number of pieces you think will be the biggest upgrade to you and focus on them. No sense spending time upgrading a piece you won't use often or will provide minimal benefit to you.

You could try shouting for NMs with the piece you want reserved for you. NIN and WHM can take down most (if not all) seal dropping NMs, but you can always bring a BRD or DNC for extra support.

What Banter sais is pretty much correct.
Most mobs can easily be duo'd by a melee job and a healer.

Though I do advise you also bring along a black mage to try and proc the yellow !! for a higher chance of multiple seals.
And a Thief, in case you need to farm pop items.

Pop items for most mobs are a joke to obtain.
