If I start looking for an end-game LS on Pandy? Here are my stats:
RDM: 60 WHM: 58 NIN: 41 BLU: 23
All other jobs @ level 10. Not sure when the appropriate level is for end game stuff, but I feel that I might be getting close. Thanks for suggestions!

I am also looking for a new LS as the SchoolofFFXI moved to the Phoenix server, and I love Pandy too damn much to leave!

eng game. KEY WORD "END" You reallly think you can do anything with a level 60 rdm? FYI level 60 is only the 'halfway' mark to 75. Also you need 110 merits to cap off your first main job. 110x10,000=1,100,000 exp. Then go to endgame

get to 75 and get your blm+ DRK sub to 37 before you start. Most shells(worth a damn) probally wont consider you unless you have these done(unless you have a friend in the shell)

Only thing you can do is dynamis at 65, but most shells won't accept mages below 70 in. It differs from shell to shell. I agree, though, get to 75 as it will open more doors for you. You may also want to look into getting BLM and DRK subs. Noticed you don't have sky or sea access, might want to work on ZM and CoP missions, too, if you really want endgame.

It won't be considered rude of you to ask, but as you can see by these responses, you won't get accepted yet :/ Yes it sucks, but that's just how the game works.

Thanks for the helpful replies from everyone so far! I will tell you that it is next to impossible to progress the ZM & COP missions as of now since I am on one of the smallest server and EVEYONE has the done already! But thanks for the replies! I am confused as to why I would want to take DRK to 37 though? I though a WHM/RDM or RDM/WHM combo would have been more helpful??

/DRK is good for rdm
For chainspell super stun :P
Well im sure you must have a social ls or group of friends to help you along with the missions

Why RDM/DRK?
Chainspell + Stun
Very handy in particular situations.

RDM/DRK for those situations which call for Chainspell/Stun.

At that Level You won't be accepted into any End game Linkshell, Be4 any shell would even consider you'll need level65 and thats only for Dynamis, And even rare to get accepted @ lv65 in Dynamis else your friends with officer/leader!
So As said above get lv75, get BLM+DRK to lv37! Get your RDM merited, and Start doing ZM/PM missions completed! Once you get all that done you'll have much higher chance of getting into a Shell! :D Only thing that would take really long time 2do would prob be getting your PMs Completed everything else is pretty easy and fast to do :)

It never hurts to start asking around now. You may find some shells that will assist you in getting to an ideal setup, or they may just put your application on hold until you get those other subjobs done.
By all means, continue to level and get gear, merits, etc, but don't let that stop you from at least seeing what some shells might require of you.
The reason for /DRK on RDM is for Chainspell + Stun. You'll basically keep an enemy immobile for 60 seconds. Helps alot during NM burns.

My suggestion for missions is to make sure you have all the CS's done and keep a look out for shouts or see if any of your friends can help. Ppl tend to help if you can put the effort to making the party happen for the mission. You can shout and see if anyone still needs missions even if they are missions you completed, you help them to where you are and you can build a group from there.

RDM75/DRK37 for Chainspell & stun stun stun stun is used sometimes.
and I have to disagree on everyone's done with CoP/ZM. Plenty of ppl need CoP but all of them say the same thing. "everyone else got done with them, I can never get it done"
one last thing is, you should get a friendly social LS for now, so in case you 're doing a mission and you're short 1-2ppl, maybe some of them will help. End-game LSs ppl usually never help cuz they they're TLTH (Too Leet To Help).
EDIT: WOW you really got ALL your other jobs (except cor) at lvl 10 EXACTLY! I guess ur getting cor to 10 now rofl.
EDIT2: ok so why did like everyone and their mom beat me to that!

ZM mission wont be a problem. Most of those are soloable or duoable with rdm.
Cop.. get some friends that are willing to help.

The reason for the Drk sub on Rdm is so you can Chainspell/Stun when necessary. It is an AWESOME combo used to stop most "Bosses"/Gods in their tracks. Rdm is mainly for enfeebling/debuffing and refreshing in endgame. So definitely merit your enfeebling magic once you get to 75. And get the meritted debuffs (Dia 3, Slow 2, etc).
I'm just a mere 75Smn/37Sch, but I've seen the 75Rdm/37Drk in action. It Is Sexxy!

You don't even *need* to have CoP and ZM finished, to be honest. If you only want to focus on Dynamis, then only thing you really need is 70+, /BLM and /DRK, and find a shell that only does dynamis. It's the same with sky and sea. You don't need to focus on everything all at once. Can find shells that only do sky/sea/dynamis. But, yes, if you really want to taste endgame, you'll need everything as mentioned in previous posts, and a hell of a lot of time to waste in your life.

And yeah chainstun hell even without chainspell a rdm with haste/fastcast setup can stun almost every 20 sec which is pretty dang helpful assuming your tanks can keep hate from you doing that :)

Only thing you need to have done with CoP if you are just joining dynamis is past 3-5 so you have access to dreamland runs. ZM again isn't hard. you can solo most of it to get to sky.

Dont feel bad. Im in pandy also with a 75drk with 5 37jobs and you are right it is harder to find help with alot of missions like , just rank missions, Sea and sky access for example also One thing is for sure, you cant try to move too fast. Im slowly chipping away at my "things to do list". I havent even bothered to ask for an endgame LS yet. lol. Best thing to do is listen to these guys and hell, im learning stuff too..lol Best of luck to you and most of all, Have fun~

some examples of why you would want to get your RDM to 75 first(directed at OP):
Phalanx II Slow II Blind II Paralyze II
/drk CS Stunning
Ice / Wind magic accuracy, Int, and other misc merits. Please dont get me started on gear options.
I strongly suggest getting a job to 75, leveling proper subs, then you apply to a shell with a reasonable chance of being accepted ^^

If you don't have sky and sea access no endgame shell will even consider you. Regardless of how difficult it seems to get these done, they are absolutly required. You MUST have them. You MUST have the needed subs leveled and you MUST have acceptable AH gear.
Get all of this stuff done before you even think of an endgame shell. You might be able to get into an event specific shell like a dynamis shell, but for a full endgame shell, -34% chance.

RDM: 60 WHM: 58 NIN: 41 BLU: 23
