I'm Level 28

Traveling with our group is exactly like questing. It is fucking fantastic. Many of us have unique skills, like Sean is an experienced backpacker who can get around well, Ben speaks Latin and can translate lots of religious writings in various churches, I took a Hinduism class and can identify deities and things, etc. Even better, there are very specific objectives like yesterday’s mission to ‘find the tomb of the Incorruptible St. Xavier.’ It was in one of the holiest structures in Catholicism, the Basilica of Bom Jesus. How epic is that? Way epic.

Wandering through exotic cities or rural villages, finding ancient forts and shrines, I basically am in Final Fantasy. We buy supplies, identify artifacts, and heal sick party members. There are even boss encounters like packs of angry dogs and creepy Indian men or benevolent encounters with people in towns who will give you useful information about where to find necessary questing items.
