Foreword
This guide is meant to contain my lessons learned throughout playing white mage on horizon. I don't claim superior experience or expertise and you absolutely don't have to listen to me. Instead, treat this as the collection of notes it is. I'm aware the age of and degree of "solved" this game is and has, and the intention is to help those few who are still trying new things.
