I respectfully submit this thread on the Bismarck forums to be sticked, and to de-sticky the three threads that currently exist there.
This one thread gives links to the other three stickies, and links up to various other important threads on the forum in one convient easy to read post.
The link is here: http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=35&mid=1106176994936773353&num=7
