New Player - Cerberus

[Lamer]

I was thinking about starting a new character as I didn't really think about my race or class when I started so i want to have a good look through and start again. And I shall indeed message you if I end up on that server .

thank you for explaing what the linkshell is to .

You're welcome. I hope to see you on that server. It is cheaper there too. I used that website ffixah and i noticed Cerebrus is so much more expensive and trust me: that's not good for new players. The linkshell thing has significantly improved the game for me and made it wayyy more enjoyable. You will see what I mean and you will like this game more. Trust me.

also: I found some guides if you want to be a thief. Thiefs are cats (Mithra race). Where you start is good too because it gives different armor I think. I went here to figure out that a magic character should be a tarutaru because it has more INT that the other races. You can also tell when you are setting it up by comparing all the green numbers as you go through the list of different races.

I don't know if this is one of the best sites, but it has information on it which was helpful when I thought about what I wanted to be.

on the right there are two boxes that have information for races and jobs. I hope it helps you if you are still a little bit confused.

and this one is good too because it has all kinds of information and some guides posted at the bottom under 'other' section:

You shouldn't follow guides to the letter because that is so boring, but they are useful in helping to make some decisions if you read the whole thing and remember it for later.
