Hello,
I have several questions which hopefully someone could answer. (Keep in mind that I've never played FF before so I don't know the game, map, etc

(1) Is there some way to put in a way point to a location you want to go, and it show up on your map?

Other games have a way to do this but I can't find any way on this game. I'm looking for a way that puts a point on the map so I can head toward it. Like /way xx, yy

(2) I'm having problems finding where I can get approval to begin harvesting/mining. I've read that I need to "join" the guild for the land. When I asked in the shout, a few people gave me a place where the guild is located. That town isn't on my map, nor can I find any info on how to locate this town.

(3) I'm thinking of purchasing one of the strategy guides, hoping that end some of the frustration I'm feeling trying to play the game. Are there any good ones out there?

I'm sorry for the long post.

Thanks

PS .. If there is a guild out there who would like to adopt me, please let me know!
