That's always been there since I've started playing. There's one in Limsa, too, but not Gridania.
For Gridania your nearest on-ramp is the leatherworker's guild but it is just a quick jog from the aetheryte plaza too.

Did they add an aethernet shard for the uldah market area? I thought you had to make a run from one of the crafting guilds before

Yes, they added that in SB.

Ah that explains it. I probably just never had a reason to check once SB hit.

Yeah, but you won't have time to level more than one class until you're max level. Try to cover your bases and have at most one tank, one healer and two dps if you want to do dungeons with your siblings.

This isn’t really true, with the vast gulf between ARR, HW and SB you have plenty of time to level another job if you have the inclination, I had a mate join me playing and he got both WHM and BRD to 70 by the time he’d finished SB with time to spare. You could probably do 3 if you were driven.

I'm still in the first leg of HW and have 3 classes at 60, and 1 at 59.

I don't know why the Sirensong Sea Aiming chest just has vastly superior dye layers compared to the Fending/Maiming poo poo it's based off of, but I'm glad it does.

So, for the sake of a dumb joke, i've been leveling a second character. Been running through the MSQ and am at ca. the level 25 quests, just after Toto-Rak. So i'm sent into eastern Thanalan to talk to Hihibaru to find out more info about the Ascians. He gives me some smoke signal i'm supposed to light and see what happens.

I go there, light a signal, some mobs comes out and i slay him. As it goes.

Then, a level 60 Black Mage rolls up to the same rock i'm standing on, pops the same item i did, and slays the same quest mob.


What the........

Level boost without MSQ boost. The 2.X MSQ is tedious, but you can absolutely blaze through it in a couple of days if you skip through every cutscene and unsync the dungeons/trials.

Granted, I'm on Coeurl NA and using every source of bonus exp at all times. And I've done every single quest I've found as the writing is fun enough to read. I also have most of the other classes leveled to 30 minimum. The Road to 60 exp buff is hilarious and amazing.

The game is hardly ever down so 24 hours hurts but it's for the greater good.

also the bigger patches usually have long maints but without housing it can actually end early i think

May be semi early, but they will never end maintenance before the weekly reset time.

You can usually get a jump on the beastman tribes if you hop on to do them before the daily reset, however.

I file troubles with miscellaneous sidequest prerequisites under "problems for people without pattern recognition skills" (very low sympathy) or "problems for people very new to the game" (a bit more sympathy, but it's not like they're lacking in content to do whether it's new or not). It's not like this patch is the first time new content has been gated behind things like that.

The rest of us just shrug, clean out the map of all misc sidequests in advance during I'm-bored moments (gently caress wibbling over ~saving them for exp efficiency for future jobs~ when roulettes are as good as they are), and have it be a non-issue.

Personally when I'm bored in the game I just go find other games to play or something else to do instead of doing mindnumbing quests

I got up early this morning because I had trouble sleeping, and I was going to try to polish off those Namazu prereqs, but I forgot it's a 24-hour maintenance. I logged in 15 minutes before shutdown. :doh:

At least we've got several weeks before Pagos opens. I haven't finished my Anemos weapon collection yet.

Sometimes they come up early, unless it's a housing patch, in which case they'll keep it on schedule for fairiness.

I wouldn't bet on it, but I get up an hour before maintenance is scheduled to end, just in case.
