Hello! New White Mage!

[Lukasha]

I decided to play FFXI yesterday and downloaded game. I made an Elvaan White Mage. I read a few guides on the graphics settings and have the running great after editing the Registry. The controls will take a bit of getting used to, as I am an old Everquest player.

The uniqueness of this game is appealing, so will play it for some time I think.

I am looking for some new player guides on what quests to do that are important and maybe will reward needed items. All White Mage leveling advice is appreciated. The guides I have found seem good, but I am not sure what guides are current and relevant to the game as it is today. Not so much interested in leveling fast, but leveling well.

Any suggestions and help are welcome! Playing on Asura and started in San D'Oria.
