  Hi there Zizor,

  In theory most players start to join parties after level 10, although that doesn't really mean you have to, you can actually do a couple more levels 3-4 by yourself and sometimes that may be a quicker route than patying because of constant, needless deaths.

  Well, you pick the jobs you most want to play, because in the end run your playing. Most commons wanted is White Mage, Red Mage, Ninja, Bard I believe. And since you can't take Bard or Ninja at first the other 2 may be the better choices. Jobs like: Warriors, Black Mages are sometimes popular also.

  I can give you a worldpass to join the Bahamut Server if you wish, but I can't give you a LS invite because their rule is 65+

  There are things called: BCNM (Burning Circle Notorious Monsters) You basically collect things called: Beastmen seals and Kindread seals throughout the game. After you get a certain amount and your a certain level you can trade them for orbs, to fight in a special condition battleground for prizes. Like level 20, trade 20 Beastmen seals then you can fight a level 20 BCNM. If you want to fight bosses, like Notorious Monsters there a few low level oens, like you can do by yourself or you can camp harder notorious monsters with parties at a much higher levels. You can also fight some bosses (notorious monsters) for some missions at the beginining, which will also introduce you to BCNM.

  Hmm most likey you will be having to fight Lizards and such on end. Atleast tll the higher levels for occasion Notorious Monster pops then your party can fight them, but usually experience points party or camping something with a party.

  Hope this helps and goodluck!

  Since you would be new,solo to 14 then head to valkurm dunes.You need to go there to get your sub-job items,unless you can beg a high level player to get them for you.

  The player base is so diluted now ,that your best choice would be a blackmage or a whitemage.These 2 classes will give you guarantee invites,this is a good thing because partying in FFXI is the worse timesink i have ever seen.A tarutaru is the best for these classes being that you get the most MP this route.However if you wish to branch out later ,a human might be a better choice.Other races are more specialized but not really suited for whm or blm.Trust me on this,as a whm or blm you will be begged to play throughout the game.Choosing anything else will leave you many many hours of downtime doing nothing.

  Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

  Saying that, it's not always true.

  At some levels there are sometimes like 4 or 5 white mages seeking at the same time. Being a blackmage... well I wouldn't say they're as popular. I say White Mage or Red Mage. Black Mage give or take, I don't really need them in my party. But you DO need a White Mage or Red Mage. Or you can manage with Summoner for healer. But a Bard out does Red Mage by far, since they boost the party up alot so you can get experience points faster.
