Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 195 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 195 Donate  | New player here Hi. I just joined up. I'm new to FFXI (although not to FF) and to online games in general, so I'm pretty clueless at the moment.
I'm playing on a PS3; I gather most people are on PCs. I don't have a PC (I have a Mac), so that's not an option. Anyway, I'm on the Fairy server, and I'm starting as a red mage elf. I've found my Mog House, but that's about as far as I've gotten, so I'm sure I'll be spending some time here, trying to get a feel for things, and in the game, wandering around cluelessly.  |  | ::Quote Selected::  | | | 07-01-2007, 06:09 PM | #2 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: FL, USA Posts: 156 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 27

Unfortunately some people aren't as lucky and don't get such a good start in game.
I might as well throw another offer into the thread, if you come to sylph, I'll help you out. ^-^ | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 07-02-2007, 08:30 PM | #12 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Houston, TX Posts: 7 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0
Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 195 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 195 Donate | Re: New player here I had a guy check up on me my first day, actually, but a large part of my problem was in chatting, so I couldn't get far. Anyway, I'm muddling (muggling? moogling?) along at the moment. Probably my biggest issue at the moment is just the controller/keyboard thing.
As for jobs and crafts, I'm just not sure where to start. I'm decimating the wild rabbit population, but that just seems to be all I'm doing--killing bunnies. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 07-02-2007, 08:35 PM | #13 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: FL, USA and WINDURST Posts: 29 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 3

I've posted multiple crafting links in this thread already, so not going to repeat that. “ I’m in pain, but I’m happy.”
