Once you exit Windurst you will see Grass, trees, a summoner constantly casting summons, little tarus running after bees and the things you need to kill.
Levels 1-3: You can get through these by killing Bumblebees and Tiny Mandragora’s
Levels 4-5: Moving up and along. You can now take those pesky rabbits, Savanna Rarabs, and Carrion Crows, basically anything besides some Yagadu and the Giant Bees, and Mandragoras’. remember to Check(CTRL+C) everything.
Levels 6-9: This is where you will get alot of your money. Head to the east horotoro tower and just circle around and kill all of the bats and goblins, you will get fire crystals and wild onions, while you are here you can also do mission 1-1. basically you just circle the tower and kill every thing, goblin aggro and link, which means they will initiate combat with you and if they have a friend close by they will try and kill you too. The battle bats will not link, nor aggro. Killing these mobs won’t get you much experience but it is constant and easy. You will get crystals as long as you are getting experience.
When you hit 7 you should have enough money to buy leather armor.
If you are a Black Mage or White Mage you cannot wear leather armor, in that case You can purchase the tunic set
These are aquired in Port windurst armor shops
Levels 9-11: Exit the east tower and head south. Enter now the South Tower. here you can do mission 1-2, you will see two new enemies here. one is the Blade bat, who aggros and links, and balloons, who aggro. follow the same tradition of circling the tower and killing everything. when you get 100 tp go and kill a balloon.
congrats you have made it to lvl 11 and if you sold everythink you should now have 50-60k Gil which should be enough to comfortly get you to qufim, now you can head to valkurm dunes and get into parties and further your Final Fantasy Career.
