Weapons and such.

[spellboundwrath713]

I have been looking around the site for a half-an-hour, and couldn't find it so I'll just post here.

What weapon do you start off with for each different job? If this question, or the answer is somewhere, please re-direct me. All I know really is that a Red Mage gets an Onion Dagger, what about the other jobs?

When you start off the game, how long does it take until you finally get, or reach your home?

Thanks to everyone who decides to help me out.

THF gets an Onion Knife.
WAR gets an Onion Sword.
WHM gets an Onion Rod.
BLM gets an Onion Staff.
RDM gets an Onion Dagger.
MNK gets a White Belt.

If you choose a principal race of a city, you will be a Native of that city. If you choose a different race, you will be an Immigrant. Natives receive their National Ring, Immigrants get squat:

Bastok Natives [Galka and Hume]: Bastokan Ring
San d'Orian Natives [Elvaan]: San d'Orian Ring
Windurst Natives [Tarutaru and Mithra]: Windurstian Ring

You start in your home town and you will first start by getting some card thing and a green map location of a person who will give you 50gil for it... 50gil, being nearly worthless, will not get you very far--in fact, it's not even enough to buy you a new weapon. It might be 500gil... I can't find the quest reference anywhere the NPC I did it with (Reet) is not associated with the quest in the major databases... Either way...

Get Signet from a Gate Guard and go outside to kill monsters. Don't drop anything at this point. Claw and bite for every scrap of monster meat and crystal that drops. Once you get a few levels (3-5), go back into town with your meager booty and find out that it's worth only a pittance. Receive your hard-earned pittance from the auction house or from various merchants around town (Hint: AH has better returns, but you have to pay to play), and either rinse and repeat or try HELM or a Craft.

Umm.. well, you mean the Mog House, and that is like.. few minutes to get there. When you first get in the game, open your map in the menu, and search for "Residential Area". There is your home
