Returning to FFXI as a newbie and need help

[Clarkkent2007]

I first started playing FFXI when the game first came out, during the very first Halloween event in Windhurst and I remember it well, but I stopped playing because of troubles leveling and with the game then, but I got back and leveled and deleted my character to join my friends on another server, but I need help starting out and leveling,like I know how to get to 10 but beyond that well...I need advice on what to do, where to do it, etc but I know my starting town is Bastok, but if anyone can give me motivation, tips, etc it should be great, but I should be on my friends server by the weekend but he isn't quite the helper type, so if anyone can help me I would be much obliged!!!! Thanks!

you can email me to at clarkkent2007@gmail.com and title the email FFXI

After you solo yourself to lvl 10 or so, Valkurm is usually the place where most people will level from about 10-20. Around 18 or so, you can maybe go to Qufim and fight worms. After that, chances are you'll hit up the jungles until around level 30-33.

Also, one shouldn't have to be motivated to play a game. If you have no desire to play it, no one can make you.

Valkurm is very easy to get to from Bastok. That is if you avoid certain monsters and beastmen on your way! Basically, just head up north. From South Gustaberg, enter North Gustaberg at E-6 on your map, then head up past the Outpost and across the creek to Konschtat Highlands, again at E-6. Keep going north to Valkurm Dunes at G-3. Be careful in the Highlands and Valkurm; lots of things here will attack you at Level 10!

Re: Returning to FFXI as a newbie and need help

Do you know which server/world the Pass is for? After creating your character, select that world from the menu and then enter your code.
