Oh wow, this game has me caught in its fangs. Didn’t help that I’ve been sick at home for the last two days, not being able to think straight but at least able to hold a mouse.
After running around on foot for a while (Sprint’s cooldown is too long!) I finally got a mount. As you can see I also joined the Maelstrom, fwiw. Was a close call, I nearly pledged my loyalty to Gridania.
I just hit Level 30, did my Bard job change quest and yay. Leveling would be quite a bit faster if it weren’t for all this travelling because of the MSQ. I kinda ignored it for a bit and shot from 20 to 25, only to take quite a bit longer to catch up. I’ve been sent to the Shroud now for the umpteenth time – I am at one that is classified as Level 27, so not that far behind I guess.
Overall I’m still pretty happy with my choice of class and race – unless I have to wear hotpants again.
