Newbie days

So like I said in my previous post I've begun to level one of my mules and put Soarian on the back burner for the time being. With leveling Brigide I'm come to remember all the old hardships I had back in my newbie days. Having to walk everywhere since I have no chocobo liscense, airship pass, or OP warps. Being unable to teleport because I have no crag crystals or Teleport spells. Being unable to switch to BLM to warp home when I'm in another town. Being stuck with a mere 30 inventory slots in my gobbie bag. Ahh the joys of starting over.

Despite all this I've had a blast starting fresh with a new character. I get to redo all the old quests and missions and actually have something to look forward to doing besides soloing another job for no real purpose except being able to sub it occassionally.

Well anyway I started her as a RDM and leveled that up a bit along with WHM. I finally got her to 18 and Shay was nice enough to help me get my subjob items. After that I just pushed to 20 instead of leveling my gimped subjob so I could get my chocobo liscense (which I did) and be able to travel faster. Unfortunately I forgot to build my fame before heading to Jeuno so I couldn't get a Gobbie Bag quest so first thing I did after leaving Jeuno was head to Selbina to trade some Moss.

Before doing all that I did some missions and am sitting on the 2-3 Dragon mission, which I'll probably d-box when I get to 25. Of particular note was my epic solo of the 1-3 BC fight when I was only level 14. It is a fight against 3 Orcs in Ghelsba Outpost, and I buffed up, ate an au lait and then.......... proceeded to destroy all 3 Orcs while only losing like 30 hp lol. I actually thought it would be challenging but oh well it was fun.

My goal now for Brigide is to build enough fame for at least 2 Gobbies, level WHM and BLM subs to around 15, then take RDM to 30. I also want to get to Rank 5 (with a little help obviously) and start Prommys (lol doubtful). I don't know how long I'll stick with Brigide before retiring her and going back to Soar full time, but so far I'm enjoying being a newbie again. See you guys in game.
