Milestone

As I entered Kashatan Highlands today I was weary. I was nearly slaughtered by a Mist Lizard but a freindly passer byer swung his gitant sword and killed it in one blow. I was lucky.

I heard rumors of Ghosts and Goblin Tinkerers but I saw none of these. THe skies were cloudy and the wind was blowing hard. I completed my tasks for Cid and made a crystal faded in the giant Crag that sits in the Highlands. I stayed only breifly to have enough experience to reach a prime job level of 14. I quickly learned Cure II, Slow and Aero. I made my way back to Bastok.

I think this is where my job becomes interesting. I finally have spells that greatly make my importance to a party great and I can go adventuring on my own with more confidence. I replaced my old Short Bow with a Self Bow. Its sturdier construction and larger form trippled the damage I can do to enemies.

I admit that 50,000 Gil is meager when compared to anyone else adventuring but for I it was a huge milestone. I have never before held such wealth. I am sure that a new set of armour or some nicer furniture will quickly swallow these amounts but in my last experience in Bastok I rarely ever had more than enough to buy one item. I have all I think I need at this stage and have modestly furnished my home and I still maintain a good amount of cash. I simply do not wish to repeat my old mistakes and travel to Jeuno and not be able to complete the Chokobo Quest because I was short 600 Gil. Those were sad time.

I really like the idea of manufacturing items and selling them but I am having a difficult time deciding which items to manufacture. Should I start in Alchemy? Maybe Gold Smithing? How about Black Smithing? Or perhaps I should travel to San D'Oria and start Wood Working or Cloth Working. I am not sure but I need to make that choice soon.
