I recently started playing and have been really enjoying the game so far. This is the first story in an MMO that I have really paid attention to, but being a fan of he Final Fantasy series helps that, I suppose. I just recently reached level 30 on my Archer and I plan on going Bard, but after reaching level 30, I realized that I had to be level 15 as a Pugilist as well and I was grabbing most of the side quests up as well when I was leveling Archer. I made it to level 8 last night as Pugilist through leves and Fates. Is this the most efficient way? Is there another way?

Should I be concentrating on Leatherworking now or should I wait until I reach level 50?

I have received many random invites to Free Companies, but have accepted none, because it feels like spam when nothing is said to me. Are there benefits to being in a Free Company?

I am on Exodus server if anyone plays there. I could use friends! Everyone has been really friendly that I have encountered though.
