Some Questions From A Newb

[ChaoticCrimson]

Thanks for the insight! Last question.. probably. I see there is an event on right now, The Rising. I did the "In adventurers we trust" quest and got the minion and music. But the earrings after looking I see are gotten from a vendor for rising token but I don't know where to get those? Is there more event quests to do to get them?

This is sort of the quirk in the event this particular year: There's an NPC that randomly spawns near where you picked up the initial Rising quest called the Rising Recruiter. He'll have a repeatable quest available that takes you into an instanced area similar to a dungeon, but it's essentially in the streets of Ul'Dah. I believe you have to be, at minimum, level 30 to join, but the cap is level 50. It's basically a chaotic FATE-fest with tough, but if you manage to get through all of them you'll get enough tokens for both the earrings.

Edit: I should also mention the once the NPC spawns, he sticks around for about three hours before he disappears again. I've also heard he might also spawn in Limsa and Gridania too, but I haven't confirmed this for myself. Basically you'll just have to keep your eyes open. Also, once you're in the instance, be sure to give a /shout to let people know you're looking for a party. You'll need to be in one to get the most possible tokens from the instance!
