Beginner need's guidance

[Zeva]

metalings can easily take you to job 50
but if you're in a hurry you could try porcellios (not much greater jobexp but better), or party up with someone and go hunt leaf cats (need to do a quest to enter the best map for them, but it's nothing hard just find someone nice to help you get the items you need)

If I can be of any help, just PM: Jess
if I'm not busy with anything I'd love to help you
