One of the best things about FFXI is it's job system. In the beginning you can choose between a few starting jobs, then
at level 30 you can do quests to get the others. The best part about this whole thing is you can change you job if you want
to. So if you have leveled up one job, you can choose to start a different job and level that up, but you can go back to your
high level job if you want to. So you are really only leveling up your jobs! i.e. You got your Warrior job to level 15, but
you want to work on your level 1 Red Mage you can switch to that and level it up, but then later if you want you can go back
to your level 15 Warrior.
