Early days in the Zeruhn Mines

It has been almost a year since the crazy idea to try being a noob on another server began - why don't I go back to the beginning and show you some of our earliest adventures?

Those days when the only spell a WHM has is Cure 1 and RDMs are stuck with nothing but Dia. With 2 mages and 4 MNKs, and 2 whole spells among them, what does a party do? Everyone melees, of course!

Of course, being level 1 on completely new characters means that you have 0 skill in everything. We could kill everything well enough, but it meant resting after every 1-2 mobs, and sitting on TP for a long time until someone got to level 10 skill.

Thankfully, low levels go by quickly! We got to see the following scene repeatedly, until we were level 5 or 6, when deaths and exp loss created some gaps in the party's exp.

We were living in our own little self-contained world up to this point. Sure, we'd see others in town, but since were leveling down in the mines and not really venturing out and around into the wider reaches of Vana'diel, we didn't really interact. After level 5, we started to leave town and accomplish some goals outside. Next time I will tell you about some of the people we have encountered on our adopted server. Some have been good, so not so good - but all of them have made an impression!
