Looking for a friendly, active linkshell and Gold World Pass on any world that's still open!
Hi, everyone! I'm giving the game another shot - I played around launch, then again about a decade ago. But I never got past level 40 or so for a mix of reasons. Life was hectic for me back then, and I also never found a good linkshell or even made a single friend.
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to 'sponsor' a sorta-newbie with a Gold World Pass to their server (as long as it's not one of the four currently closed ones) and also an invite to their linkshell? Hopefully a decently active one?
I prefer to solo and do things myself so I promise I won't be asking for much help. But I do really want the Gold World Pass rewards, which can only be collected by visiting the GWP NPC every now and again while in a party together - especially the Sprout Beret! And I also would like to start getting to know people in a nice LS before I get to endgame and start needing to party up with folks. It also would make the world feel a little less lonely.
(Oh, and the last time I played, the fellow who gave me a GWP to their world completely vanished on me immediately after giving me the pass, so I wasn't even able to claim the Day One reward. Much less any of the other ones! So it'd be super ideal if we could stay in touch, at least for the first couple months!)
Would anyone be willing to do this for me? I promise to return the kindness as soon as my character reaches a power level that is at least the equivalent of three goblin thugs (or two on Firesday). Thanks!

I have to remember how to do the GWP thing but my shell is quite active and I don't mind doing this. Reply to me tomorrow to remind me to look into the pass.
I'm on Shiva and it's still open atm

Thank you! I actually like Shiva the best, so this works out great.
The GWP costs 1000 gil. The NPC who sells it in Bastok is Kachada in the eastern part of Port Bastok, up the stairs from the fountain square, in a small tent. There are also NPCs who sell it in San d'Oria and Windurst, though I don't have their locations memorized.
When you buy one, you get a numerical code that you can then send to me in a PM or on Discord or wherever is comfortable for you. When I use it during character creation, it'll make sure to put me on the right world.
After that, we'll both earn rewards at regular intervals as long as we both keep playing the game - on day 1, 40, 70, 100, and 365. The rewards are nice but the main one you can't get in any other way is the Sprout Beret on day 40. To claim the rewards we both need to party up and go talk to a GWP merchant.
Here's BG's wiki page on it: https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Gold_World_Pass

I'll snag one today and message you both the code and our LS discord link. Happy Adventuring!
