Making friends.

Hi all, haven't posted in a while or much at all because of how little I know.
I'll get straight to the point with my question.

What's the best way to find party members to help you do quests? I've discovered you can have NPC character follow you around like the first one I got today Kupipi but she can only keep me company for so long without any back and forth talk on our adventures

I see many other players too but they're in parties with other experience players who probably don't want to help out new players like myself, which is fine and understandable.

The too long didn't read version of this thread?
Is there an area/town/hub where new players gather?
Rarely see any in Windhurst my home area :c surprisingly.

Jeuno and Adoulin are where people generally gather and hang out.
As for finding people to talk to, look up a Linkshell Concierge NPC and see if there are any social Linkshells that are recruiting people.
A couple of them are in Windurst Woods, near the NPC that gave you the Trust Quest.

Option 2 is to /shout or /yell for a linkshell. Just be sure to ask for a social shell that accepts new players.
