Hey, there’s a picture of Imogene! She’s a brand new sprout, and just like her, a lot of new adventurers have arrived in Eorzea this week. It’s dangerous to go alone, though, so take some of these quick tips!

Market Madness - Check for cheaper prices from merchants! If an item shows a Shop Selling Price, that means you can always get it at that price from a merchant. They may not always be easily accessible, but watch out for unscrupulous adventurers who relist cheap items on the market board for profit! This is especially true for Weathered items, which can be purchased easily from Faezghim at Limsa’s West Hawkers’ Alley (and other merchants in Gridania and Ul’dah)!

Retainers Are Your Friends - While some adventurers may be restricted from hiring retainers, those who can should get one as soon as possible. Not only will they hold many of your items and allow you to sell on the market board, you can send them on ventures that will make gathering materials and even shards and crystals much, much less time consuming. This is especially true for materials you’d get from hunting!

Do your job quests and read your abilities - Just do them! You’ll get new abilities and all sorts of things. No one wants to get screamed at for not having their job stone! And pay attention, because sometimes things don’t make too much sense! For any sprout White Mages out there, don’t trust Freecure - just use Cure II! And Cure III is a close-range party heal! It’s not better than Cure II even though it’s a higher number! Ahh!

Traveling around - There’s a ferry at Limsa Lominsa’s Ferry Docks that will take you right to Vesper Bay (x:3.1, y:12.0 or something like that at Limsa’s Lower Decks). Mimigun the chocobokeep near the entrance to Ul’dah (x:12.3, y:8.2 at the Steps of Nald) will allow you to ride a chocobo to Horizon in Western Thanalan without asking any questions. And speaking of coordinates, you can share them by holding CTRL and right-clicking on your map.

You don’t HAVE to roulette every single day. - It’s the #1 cause of adventurer burnout. I think.
