I recently purchased this game for the Xbox 360. I'm a Level 2 Hume Monk whose allegiance is with Windurst. So I have a couple of questions....

1. What level should I be before I begin missions?

2. How do I purchase weapons and armor?(Stupid question I know, but Windurst is so big I can't find any shops)

3. Will I survive if I go to the areas beyond Windurst?

4. This question is actually for my little brother, who is an Elvaan Black Mage. How can he learn spells?

5. Can I purchase a map?

Any help would be greatly appreciated
