    5. Unlock your challenge log, gives great exp and some gil - http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Rising_to_the_Challenge
    6. Do your daily roulettes - all of them are great until 60, except guildhests, which is great until around 40-50
    6. Level crafting & gathering - free dosh (Cooking has an amazing crossclass skill at 37 you need to get.)
	8. Hit Tab to [I seem to have misplaced my keyboard]

Neo Wheels Order <<nWo>>: An FC with players coming back for the expansion. Some newbies, many veterans, shitposting and complaining about baddies all around. Contact Aloise Nel'hah, Cydrin Lanbatal, or Shiaia Reingot for an invite. Applications are open as well, so if none are online just leave an application and you'll get in as soon as possible.

Data Center: Primal
Server: Exodus
<<SMUG>>: An FC with new and older players, running all content from newbie dungeons to current raid progression. There will be banter; you will be called names. PM Aurora Soulwood, Rab Bit, Claws Furalarm, or any other officer for an invite.

There is also a linkshell for all 8ch players on Exodus to congregate, so that people can communicate regardless of what FC they're in or if they're running the free trial.
