After thirty full minutes I figured out how to equip a frying pan instead of a knife.

That gives you a good idea of how the learning curve goes!

And now I'm totally in the dark as to how to start cooking!

fastest torrent ever. It went from 24 hours (which is the standard beginning time) to 30 seconds!

Go to the guildleve counter and get a cooking quest, depending on the quest it should give you the ingredients or have you go get it from the person you turn it in to. Open up the menu and select the option at the very top(same place most interactions go). It's pretty obvious that it's the option.

I was at the cook guild in Limsa and there isn't anyone at the counter giving any cooking quests. NPC either isn't at the counter or you're talking about something else. Maybe I still have to do some newbie quests with Gladiator...

Edit: Wait...maybe...

Edit 2: Yess!

It's at the adventurer guilds counter. Thats where you find pretty much all your quests save the story ones.

Azisien · 09-04-2010, 04:54 PM

Well I got a-cooking, and got past some more terrible patching issues.

But I'm getting used to that. Now I need to figure out how the heck Synthesis is supposed to work. It seems completely luck of the draw. Is there a tutorial anywhere on that?

Name: Kharmasis Altari

Really not liking that you can't tell who's a quest giver etc. but I'm not having nearly as much trouble with the interface as you guys seemed to have been having. Figured out how to equip/unequip before I ever needed to, for instance.

Most of my problems have been finding my way around when all the mobs look the same and I can't move around the map, and the lack of a jump. I LIKE jumping over things and falling long distances and stuff. Though battle is more than a bit cumbersome as well, with the having to attack each round manually and the fact you have to draw your weapon before you can attack anything (as opposed to autodrawing when you begin combat like every other game ever).

Though I'm not far yet.
