    Make sure to use the "check" function on the menu when you select a monster. If it checks as "Too weak to be worthwhile", you will not get xp for it. If it checks as "easy prey" or above, you will get xp.

      If you're level 7, you're right about the level that newbie mobs start becoming too weak. When you target a mob, check it before you fight it. If it "seems too weak to be worthwhile" then it won't give you any experience. Look for mobs that are easy prey or decent challenge.

        Once you get to a high enough level, guys start to check as "Too Weak" They do not give you any XP whatsoever, you have to attack stronger guys.

            I think using your head to make up an origional name would spark a train of ideas to help you level.

              As harsh as this sounds, I can only agree. Xxsephrothxx is....well, ridiculous and lame beyond anything I've seen so far.

                Sadly, I agree too, as will most of the regular players.

                  Ok, don't pick on the players name now. It may be unoriginal but if that's what he wants not much is going to change that.

                    The name doesn't make the man (or woman), but it certainly helps people's perception of them.

                    Anyway... No matter what city you started in, the zone outside of the city has two parts, so to speak. The areas right next to the city are low level, while the outside is a bit higher. You can probably find plenty of "Easy Preys" and "Decent Challenges" deeper in the zone.

                    When that gets bad (or if you just want to explore and fight a few things on the way) you can go to the zones slightly further away from the starting cities.

                    For example, San d'Oria has Ghelsba Outpost, King Rampere's Tomb, and La Theine Plateau to go to after you're tired of Ronfaure. (King Rampere's Tomb being the lowest level of those 3, so long as you don't click on any "???" or go too deep in.)

                    Bastok has Dangruf Wadi, Konschat Highlands, Zeruhn Mines, and Palborough Mines.

                    Windurst has Giddius, Outer Horototo Ruins, and Tahrongi Canyon.

                    It's a big world, I'd suggest looking around it. Exploration can be really fun and exciting, I think that's why people enjoy expansions so much, new items, new zones to get lost in, new monsters that you have to figure out...

                        the real Sephiroth would try to be some kind of SAM/DRK with masamune or something like that.

                          The real Sephiroth is too busy tossing his hair back and practicing looking into cameras to play FFXI.

                            Outer horatio ruins, and inner as well, is an under-looked GOLD MINE exp-wise at the low levels.

                            The one tower has cardians from 2 through 10, ranging in level from about 5 to 50. Theoretically one could exp clear from starter to g1 in there.

                            In actuality, the linking problem gets too bad to handle at about level 12. But by that time most people are on their way to Dunes anyhow.

                            Still, it's easy, wonderful EXP if you know what you're doing.
