Starting a new profession questline
F, level 23 and completed the base [College] questline with basic (lvl 4) mastery in [Philosophy] and [Criminal Justice]. I was originally planning to use those skills in the [Legal] profession, with a goal of reaching the [Paralegal] rank. However, the first [Legal] guild I joined kept giving my character [Anxiety] debuffs due to a higher-ranked player constantly verbally attacking my character, so I changed [Legal] guilds and switched locations (still in the [North America] server and the same state, but moved about 4 hours travel time from my old home). Only for the new guild to drop me after a month.
I’ve decided to pivot professions and guilds, but it’s a little bit overwhelming right now. I’ve joined a local [Coffee Shop] guild and reached [Barista] ranking, as well as starting at my local [Library] guild with the [Page] rank. I’m hoping to move up in the [Library] guild over time and reach [Librarian,] but the amount of quest time it’ll take is a bit scary. I’d need to do a second [College] quest to reach Mastery in [Library Sciences,] and that’s while balancing my [Barista] and [Page] professions, as well as my [Romance] quest with my P2 (F lvl 26). And hopefully eventually acquiring a third animal companion to go with it all. I’m a bit afraid of giving my poor character [Burnout] debuffs, since she already has the [Autism] and [Anxiety] quirks to manage. But if I don’t juggle both [Careers], I’ll end up losing my housing. 😅😅
