first: Welcome to FFXI!!!
![Big Smile [:D]](/emoticons/emotion-2.gif)
second: This site will help with a lot of info and guides:
http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Live, breath, eat, sleep ^^^^that. lol.
Third: Basically, now that you are lvl 11, you can start going further past West Ronfure, to La Thiene Plateau, and kill crap there as solo. But you can technically start partying at lvl 10-12. Don’t be afraid to ask questions of other players while playing. Also join a Social Linkshell (bascially like a guild I suppose). Anyway, just as around Sandoria for a social linkshell letting people know you are new to the game. There are always a few people out there who will help you.
Alrighty then! God Bless.
