that's what I do, occasionally people actually talk English to me and I start talking.. but that's rare *cough* it still took me a whole day of playing to get to 30. 1st day I only got to play a little before I went to bed since I was downloading the game, 2nd day I played all day did 100% every quest in the first 1-20 area.
Hell.. I don't have a single friend on the game at all lol, was tough doing red ribbon HQ ruins alone, now I'm at 32. At 30 I stopped for a few days to farm zeni so I could buy stuff and upgrade that stuff, since I was dieing 99 times at the ribbon HQ. I'm still confused about some quests, I have like 10 lvl 22 quests that I don't know what to do for them because they don't have pointers, and going to ribbon HQ didn't seem to work either, is there some other dungeon in korin area that I'm missing?
And PoE in 10 hours?.. that's just insane, ok.. maybe it was easy, but the grind for gear doe?
