Respec or change your vocation at the Gran Soren Inn
Watch your weight and manage your inventory
Dont worry about giving items to support Pawns, if they die or you ditch them, the items go to your storage at the inn. The only exception to this is gear, any armor or weapons you give them will become a gift to their owner - the game will warn you if you attempt to do this. Also, make good use of your storage at inns. Keep all your materials there, and have big combining sessions to mix up whatever curatives you can.
Fast travel with Ferrystones and Portcrystals, eventually
A Portcrystal, however, is a marvelous convenience. Youll earn one from a quest somewhat late in the game. Then, simply place the Portcrystal wherever you like, and you can be transported to its location instantly.
Play signed to Xbox Live or PSN
Your Pawn will sync every time you rest at an inn. If youre playing offline, your pawn wont be able to learn anything new, and youll miss out on the gifts other players may send you for making such a helpful Pawn.
Always rest before a quest. Always!
Sleeping at an inn not only restores your health and resets your ability to be healed, it allows you to maximize daylight. Gransys is a much meaner, harder to navigate place at night. Do all your errands and then rest until morning. Leaving first thing, bright and early, ensures you will have the maximum amount of daylight to accomplish your deed.
Pack plenty of oil and pass out lanterns
Then buy a few extra lanterns and give them to your Pawns. Turning every member of your team into a light source will make navigating at night or spelunking through dark caverns much more palatable. Dont just bump up the gamma like some washed up cheater (it doesnt even help that much)!
