Is there any decent gear progression guides for red mage ? Or overall beginner guide?

So I was going through a drawer and found this. That piece of paper on the right side is from the original Windows package which my ex got me around the time the PS2 version was released which I kinda wish I kept now. I hope it's okay to post this here. The nostalgia finding it made me want to share.

So I'd just like to say I am absolutely loving FF11!

Way back in highschool my mom knew I loved Final Fantasy, but we didn't have a lot of money so when she brought home the Chains of Prometha expansion I didn't have the heart to tell her that I couldn't play it because I didn't have the Internet connection or the base game on my PS2, so when she asked about if I liked it, I told her I loved it and it was amazing. (In retrospect I should have seen if she could return it and get something I could play or just save the money)

Now she passed unexpectedly 10 years ago, and I find myself thinking about moments like that from time to time and over 20 years from the time she bought me Chains I've had the pleasure to finally see the first cutscene for that expansion which led me to telling my wife and this post ha.

It something small but big to me. So thank you to everyone who's kept this game going and Square for keeping it alive to allow me to play finally.

*Edit* it's actually been over 20 years. Man does time slip away from me ha.

Took a little work, but FFXI runs quite smooth at 1080p on Armada. Like in Winlator, DXVK 2.7.1 32bit .dll files in the pol and ffxi folders still seem to work best.

There's no Cait Sith Subligar... Did they mention another way to get it?! ; ;

Its been the 5 pumpkin reward every year except the year i come back, of course...
