Some tips.

- ALWAYS have Signet on, look for a guard with "W.W", (they will cast it on you) in front of their name (They should be at all major exits from Windurst and at outposts under your countries control).

- Save up 1000 Conquest Points (Earned from gaining exp points with Signet - You can check your Conquest Points by opening up your Menu and selecting "Region info"), and buy yourself an Empress Band. The Empress Band allows you to recieve a 50% bonus in experience points until three hours has past or 3000 exp points have been obtained.

- Keep your equipment and Subjob leveled. Pretty good idea sinse you'll be ridiculed if you don't and maybe even kicked from parties.
