I say welcome! I'm going to dump some quick tips that I wish I knew when I was starting out.

1. Do your main story quest. This is bolded because half of the questions people ask (How do airship?) are answered/unlocked by doing the main quest line. You can tell what is the main line by the fancy marker in your log.

2. Do Guildhests. They are a super fantastical way to be introduced to basic MMO party-play and wish more games had them. They are also a huge boost in exp and gil for a very short time investment.

Those tips should help out in your first few days and I'm sure people will chime in with their own tips for all you new adventurers. and if you're on Coeurl feel free to ask me questions by typing "/tell Emerald Hill msg" without quotes obviously. I will gladly hand out HQ subligar to those who need it. I (as well as anyone else here) can refer you as well for if you want a item that gives 25% more exp until 25.

Most importantly though, remember to have fun!
