Dumb luck and total lack of knowledge?
Before I got my hands on FFXI, I read all the sites and guides I could find. This was going to be my first MMO and I wanted to learn as much as I could beforehand.
Fastforward to me being on-game. I was waiting for a party to gather and my inventory was mostly full. I recalled that you could do something with crystals... use them on other things to maybe get something new?
I tried all the crystals I had on everything I was holding until something worked. A goblin mask into sheep leather! And I got a leather skillup! Hey, since I got a skillup so easily, leather must be the right craft for me!
I really wish I had gotten that random skillup in some other craft.
Chaser, my goldsmithing mule, I started leveling because I wanted a challenge. Now I wish I had those millions of gil back.
