Hitting level 60

Hitting level 60 is a big accomplishment for all Paladins. So once a fellow paladin hits level 60 and has full AF there will be a ceremonial party in Bastok. We will have the Ceremony in Metal Works and hang out in the bar in Port Bastok to celebrate. Once a good amount of people hit 63 we can try to get Jelly rings for all Paladins who can or are close to using it.
