I was a hardcore FFXI player who turn into a causal player (a.k.a. I have a fiance and she absolutely hates the game). I find myself having to play when she is not home or watching her sitcoms. I consider myself lucky if I get 8 hours a week in. I been pondering getting a laptop and a satelite card to play after work. If she ask why I get home late I would tell her I am just working late. She would probably think I am cheating and call my office phone to get no response. I am not cheating, I was working in the lab. Then you will see me on an episode of the show "Cheaters". The host would be in some parking lot with my fiance say, "Mam, after 4 months of survalience we learn your fiance is not cheating but playing a game called Final Fantasy XI." She would look at him dead in his eyes and say, "I want to confront his a**!!"
Anyway, the first thing I noticed is traveling in FFXI takes forever. It can easily take 30-45 minutes to get somewhere if you dont have certain things unlocked. Things to unlock to help traveling:
1) Airship (Level 20)
2) Chocobo (Level 20)
3) Outpost Supply Quests (These are by far the best way to travel quickly but cost gil) (Aquire at any Level but each outpost has a level restriction to when you can be teleported to it)
4) Black Mage (Warp and Escape) (Level 29)
5) Thief (Flee) (Level 25)
6) White Mage (Teleports) (Level 41...I think. I only took my to 37 because the other teleports are close to the Outpost except Altepa)
7) Bard (There is a song that makes you run fast as a chocobo but it is level 72...i think)
Note: I didnt include increase movement equipment because most equipment is 50+ and besides Bard, all the other methods of increasing travel speed are a maximum of level 41. I am sure someone who knows about which equipment that increases movement speed will add to this post.
