Hello and welcome to my first ever guide.

'''A quick introduction
- My name is Jordy and I've been playing FFXI for what feels like all my life. In my time here on Horizon I've soloed for probably 90% of the time. I enjoy finding new camps and farming for crafting materials while I get exp. So this guide will sort of center on that foundation. I'll be adding camps and more recourses over the course of time as I get around to it.

'''Starting out'''-1-15
- There is no right or wrong answer as far as nation is concerned when picking where to start out. The goal is essentially the same here for all 3 nations.

''Level 1-10''- regardless of which nation you decide to reside in as your home base the strategy here for levels 1-10 is the same. You will go right outside the gate and kill level 1 mobs until you reach the cap.

''Strategies for speed''- if this is not a fresh character then using a Beastmaster subjob is a good way to expedite this process.
''For Mages''- I've found that using pebbles is very efficient for opening damage and kill speed over all in the lower levels. Poison is your friend as well if you're playing blm or rdm.
''Crossbows''- If you can equip a crossbow then that should be your main source of damage at this level, there is no faster kill potential 1-10.
''food'' Yes even at level 1 you should absolutely be eating food. Whether its meat jerky or rice dumpling. Eat your food, it helps a lot with the kill speed
''Potions & Drinks''- You probably wont ever need them at this level range but its a good practice to keep some in your inventory just incase you need a heal or some regen.

''Levels 10-15''
This is a more of the same honestly Stick to the starter zones and kill for speed. Personally I always pick a mob that has something I want. This is especially beneficial if you're involved in a craft as crystals are always in demand.

'''Where xp is faster than waiting for a dunes party'''

''levels 15-25''- (I consitently averaged around 10-15k per hour in this level range, using an exp boost of course)
''Tahrongi Canyon''- This is my absolute favorite place to level solo 15-25 honestly. Although you can expect the area to be competitive at peak hours.
''15-20'' Your targets will be any of the little monster, bees, mandies, saplings, rabbits. These will be ep for you at this level, find your section and route and go to town. adding in birds and crawlers around 17/18 or so.
