I recommend The Dragon's Aery, the linkshell I'm in. I'm not a leader in it, but I think we have open spaces and I know theres a lot of new players as well as knowledgeable veterans

I run Toto-rak a lot, I have PGL and CNJ around the same level as your job, and I also like to experience the game content without having my hand held or rushing. Also, if anyone else knows of any other linkshells on Lindblum I should join, I'd love to hear from you!
