Happy new year! A new year means new players, and with a new major patch coming up those new players deserve a better guide than what SE made for them.
My sprout guide touches on all those little things I wish someone had told me before I started. Hopefully this will help you skip some of those inconveniences.

Thanks to those of you that voted in the poll, this guide will be a series rather than a single mega video. The next guide will touch on quests, and some early dailies to help you get a head start on your play through.

I probably pronounced some things wrong. I’m not a scholar. I’m dumb, but fun to be around.

THANK YOU MATTY KATOS. I WENT FROM SUPER SPROUT TO WORLD FIRST 99 PARSING SAMURAI ERP VIRTUAL SEX MACHINE CAT GIRL SLAYER WITH THIS VERY INFORMATIONAL VIDEO.
I chose THM as starting class, likely because of how much of a struggle everyone claims it is. I just wanted to see what the big deal is – and there isn't one. The job quests are fun and while it's not super easy and can be a pain in solo duty, I would say my timing for moving out of AOE's in other jobs is even better because I leveled as THM/BLM from the start. Movement sucks sometimes, but that means you learn to be really good at timing movement.
This video changed my life. I truly can't state how much it helped me. Frankly I started as THM and since I like to hate myself it was the perfect class for me. Clearly the job quests and the THM experience were the best in class since I was gaslit to believe THM/BLM was a good class. No others can truly compare to it and that's because I'm a superior master level 90 THM. I know as someone on the internet my story and opinion matters heavily, so I am thankful for your video as it gave me the opportunity to post my story no one asked for. Overall can't wait for part 2.
