don't be an elvaan mage you wont be able to aford the cost of mp adding items when you first start out.
elvaan have low mp way low my first char was an elvaan whm and i hated it ~-~ i didn't have 150K for a ring that would give me 25 more mp. all so ppl won't pt with you that much and all so make fun of you behind your back and treat you like your a retared noob.

i know it sounds mean but its ture.... that jp are mean at lest on my sever.......

And about a chocobo you need to do a quest when your lvl 20 only you have to feed a chocobo in jeuno.
you can only ride a chocobo when your lvl 15 if you have the licsons but you can only ride at lvl 15 from stables in town...
