Welcome to the game! I'm glad to hear how you are enjoying yourself.

Not totally sure what Adamantoise's NN is like, but you could always ask one of the Mentors (the players you see walking around with little crowns next to their head) if you could be invited to the "Novice Network." On my server our NN is pretty chill and Mentors usually jump at the chance to help Sprouts (new players.) It can be a good place to get quick answers or have interesting discussions about different aspects of the game. I will warn you that the channel isn't policed by SE or FF14 mods, but by the players themselves, so the atmosphere of the NN can vary wildly by server. Keep that in mind if you decide to join.

Regardless, I hope you continue to enjoy the game over the years to come. ^_^
