Sam has been telling me for a while that BSTs can work good in parties with other BSTs, and that a full party of BSTs each with different subs can be like an Alliance with normal party exp.

I never believed him until I finally saw it in action this weekend!

So I start playing in Windhurst two nights ago. Sam and I went out for my first pouncing lesson. It was so much fun. I killed tons of Mandys, Crows, Crawlers, and a couple Yags. Within the two hours we played I moved up to level five.

Last night I played again, but no Maior to be found. So I walked around the city, checked out the guilds. I only saw the bone working and weavers guilds. Personally I'd like to be a Blacksmith or Alchemist. I'm not sure if these trades are in Windhurst or not.

I'd like to do some quests, since I know this is how you get fame and money, but I really have no clue what to do or where to get what. Valsery says I should pick-up the FFXI book to help me out. It would tell me what quest needs what, plus ideas on where to go. Maybe I will pick it up.
