Done with Qufim.... for now

I spent a few days in Qufim just outside Jeuno. I joined various parties trying to gain experience in the area. I decided to stay until I was able to learn the spells Enfire and Blizzard. I am very broke again so I decided to head to Valkurm Dunes and hunt lizards for their skins. They seem to be worth a lot, especially to craftsment involved in leatherworking.
 
I had a great oppurtunity to finally earn my chocobo license. That was really nice. It is such a wodnerful time saver. At first, jogging from Bastok to Jeuno is no biggy but after the 2nd time it becomes a boring and slow process.
 
I will probably stay in Valkurm for a while. I need to increase my wallet again. Had I not levelled so quickly I woudn't be at a level of 24 but I also would not be broke.
 

Dangerous Adventuring

Fighting as a White Mage became boring so I opted to go to Jeuno. I wanted to see something new and finally earn my Chocobo License. I stopped at the Dem of Holla and picked up a crystal. It was very intense going through the Jungbar Forest but I finally made it to Jeuno. It is a very nice city. The nicest I have seen so far. Bastok is plain and Windurst is a maze.

I put on my gear and headed to Qufim. I have been fighting there but I may soon head back to Bastok. I need to earn soem more Gil and work on my Whit Mage skills.

Lonely White Mages

I started to level my white mage job today. I was tedious. I am glad that I can travel short distances again to sell the stuff the Beastmen drop. I quickly made back everything I spent in spells and the robe for the new job. It was funny to see my Red Mage job at level 2 since it was at 20 a few hours ago. Aparently my subjob can only equal half of my Main Job so I plan on leveling my White Mage to level 10 and then I can be a level 20 Red Mage and a level 10 White Mage. Sounds cool.

Other than the slow process of leveling my white mage things have been fairly dull since I returned to Bastok.

One More

I will stay in Selbina one or two more days so I can reach my 20th level as a Red Mage. Then I will head back to Bastok and change to my White Mage. When I reach my 10th level as a White Mage I will change to my Red Mage job and subjob as a White Mage. This will give me some extra benefits and spells I can learn since I can use both works. I really appreciate the mans explanation from the other day. I think this can really be a powerful tool.

I think going back and starting at a young level will let me earn some good cash again. Perhaps I can increase my savings from 50 to 100 thousand gil as I pick up all the things the beastmen drop.

Bitter Sweet

I have spent the last couple days in the Valkurn Dunes with parties of travelers trying to gain experience. I reached a fair level 19. These are some good times. I was able to learn Fire and Enstone for which I am very greatful. It is good to have most of the spells to counter the elements.

I stayed in Selbina and met an old and weary adventurer. He had stopped his days of combat but he was willing to share a secret with me if I could prove my worth to him as an adventurer. I agreed because I am eager to learn anything that will make my job easier. I have heard of him from others and collected the items he requested before I even spoke to him. To honour him though, I decided to give him the items one at a time over a few hours interval. He was overjoyed and told me I could have a subjob! I was amazed at this but I remember that I really have no other jobs so I will have to head back to Bastok, talk to my Moogle and start learning a new job.

*sigh*

Bitter sweet I suppose. It is great in the long run but nothing I could use right away.

Sleepless in Windurst

I made my way off the boat last night. Today I awoke in the coastal town. I looked around but there is really nothing there. A couple shops, an in and the docks. I left Mhaura and set out to Windurst. It was a long trek but a lot of interesting new things to look at. Scenary I have never seen. I passed the Crag of Mea noting to pick up a crystal from its strange glowing teleportation pad.

I went through the pass. Things felt similar to my travels in and around Bastok. The lands around Windurst were beautiful compared to the vast tundra around Bastok. Huge trees that bear fruit the size of an elephant and strange creatures dotted the land.

While in Windurst I checked my sales at the Auction Houses. Wind Crystals have been selling lower so I had to resubmit a few stacks of them. I made a homage to all the lcoal magic stores. I found great deals on Shell and Fire.

I visited the Bastok consulate and they instructed me on a strange mission to drop an offering for the beastmen that control the surrounding areas. I suppose its to keep the peace. I met a nice Mythra on the way to drop off the offering who saved my life. She helped me in and out of that mess. I should have been doing this later I felt. I was too weak and not experienced enough to handle the powerful beastmen of the area.

I finished my business with Windurst. I may not come back for a while. It is a large town that seems hard to navigate for me. I boarded the next ship from Mhaura to Selbina after stopping by the Crag of Mea.

A Travelin' Man

It takes many hours to invest in finding a good party of people in any area if you need to bee in a party. I tried to repeat the other days performance with another group but they ended up all leaving. I hopped on a boat to Mhaura from the docks at Selbina. What a ride! I have never traveled on a boat before. I was traveling with a few other folks.

I am eager to get to Windurst. I am glad I bought maps for all the areas before I left. All this traveling is going to be exciting. I will try and see if I can get done with Windurst soon. Perhaps they have some spell scrolls I am looking for that I may be able to buy while there.
