As a new player... so far, I'm hating this game.

[Artiste]

The leveling in FF14 is horrible, it's a good thing that there is nice end-game donjons, trials and raids, I hated so much the leveling... Maps are wierd, I got lost many times, some quests like the story quest made me run 200 times at one place where there is no teleporter near, just to talk to an NPC... (The waking sand)

Okay, this, a million times, until I figured out the trick. Go to limsa limosa, aerthernet to arcanist guild, look to your left, and take the ferry there for 80 gil. it takes you to almost right in front of the waking sands, in less than 3 minutes of walking.

Fastest route possible!

This is false, Ul'dah> Chocobo Porter> Waking Sands fastest route possible 2 minutes!

But seriously Chocobo Porter's are your best friends, cheaper than Teleports, and allows you to enjoy the scenery, or go bio or something else.

p.s. btw I know this isn't the fastest way possible

The fastest way there actually, you just go to Horizon then take the chocobo porter for a few gil. Take a few bites of your sandwich and you will be in Vesper Bay. The maps are actually pretty accurate you just may have to zoom in or out. Best advice I can give you. Find a friendly FC. The one I run on Adamantoise , we will answer any question and go help someone if they are lost, it makes a huge difference in your gaming experience. You don't feel stuck on an island with your questions or when you hit a wall.
