Shame I'm on a different server as well, else I would gladly help, too.

If possible, though, I would strongly encourage on getting a personal account for each of you because if you have the possibility to play at the same time, I can almost guarantee that you would have a lot more fun.

That, and it is actually a violation of them rules, that is the User Agreement or 'Terms of Service' to share the account data, which not many even know and even less care about (even SqEX doesn't seem to care much, but it definitely still can produce complications of sorts). ^^;
It also creates many more inconveniences along the road. I'm certainly not telling you what to do, but I can tell from experience that it is a lot of fun to actually play with a close friend.


Again, best of luck to ya, and don't worry, you will be hearing a lot of this "make friends" stuff where ever you go and even happen to mention anything related to 'soloing' in a MMO.
I personally solo more than the average player, probably, and am of the opinion that an MMO needs solo-content just as well as any game, and as I mentioned before, these 'limit-breaks' should have never been made basically impossible to solo or even duo at their designed levels.


I'll stop writing now, before I go on for too long, again. ^^
Again, best of luck to ye~
