MSQ roulette and a Raid Roulette and hope you get a Library or Tower. Unless all healers go on strike that week then maybe some challenge log big ticket items like the two FATE completions.

You can just mess with your equipment to drop your average ilvl below eligibility for HW Alliance raids.

But yeah, under normal circumstances I'd say do roulettes to go from 60->61, but queues might be real ugly. Does Potd EXP fall off at 60 or 61?

Can't really decide what I want to focus on for day 1/first few days. I'm probably going to roll on my RDM through the expac since I'm not planning a main switch, and I sorta want to plough through the story, but making sure to hit roulettes for GUN/DNC feels tempting.

My day 1 plan is that I'm gonna roll with AST to 80 unless they make WHM really fun. We'll see what gets revealed this afternoon.

So whats the fast way to get from 60 to 61 so you can spam HoH? PotD? Not that I'm planning to grind DNC during early access week or anything definitely not that.

Google Library gives decent XP, but it can take a bit long with pubbies. Doesn't take many runs for 60 -> 61 though.

A set of roulettes should do you. LDR + MSDR + ADR is a BUNCH of xp.

E: Getting a job to lv70 isn't an enormous effort though, should be very doable in a week. Barring Raubahn EX-like shenanigans, of course.

You can also do stormblood beast tribes at 60.

Luckily I also have everything on that list except for the Calofisteri minion, so it won't take me too long unless I decide to farm the namazu earring by running Praet on whm with autofollow and a rubber band over the Holy button while I watch Netflix.

Some of this is pending today's liveletter, but more or less in this order:

0) Race change to Viera if I like whatever preset I can turn out in the benchmark.

1) Go to Idyllshire, buy shire weapons and upgrade them for gun and dnc.

2) Go to the gold saucer and buy anything new and cool with mgp.

3) Go to Gridania, do enough gun to unlock it, leave.

4) Go to Limsa, do enough dnc to unlock it, leave.

5) Go to my house, engage in launch speculatory crafting.

6) Spend some time beating up on a dummy with gun, dnc, and sam and maybe rdm if there's been a bunch of changes. Get a handle on their respective rotations. Decide what I am going to "main" for the expansion.

7) Go to the wolves den and buy anything new and cool for whatever I decide to main.

8) If gun or dnc, get to levelling to 70. Hit up them beast tribe dailies then dehumanize myself in hoh or whatever I have to do to level. If sam, off to expansion content.

Before:
Play with benchmark character creator.
Figure out if going to do Hrothgar or Viera.

During:
Pick up axe, blast to 80.
Grind glamour gear.

After:
gently caress off to go play Wolfenstein, SamSho, and Bloodstained

MCH will be my first to 80 no matter what.

I'll unlock Gunbreaker and Dancer ASAP to have them, of course, and start working on leveling them via SB beast tribes.

- Level to 80 on RDM
- Contemplate new glams
- Take a lot of cute screenshots of my catman
- Probably going to play Gunbreaker over DNC

I'm probably just gonna hammer the MSQ with WHM, but DRK has been a siren's call to me these last few months. Maybe I'll pick up AST again like I did for Heavensward or Stormblood if they have something ridiculous looking.

Servers permitting of course.

They were stated at the fanfests to start at 60, but it's tentative, meaning they could decide to adjust that before final release. Odds are good it'll be 60, though.

This is honestly the only reason I'm considering rdm over blm for msq stuff, the rapier looks a lot better than the staff for those scenes

Gonna get on a dummy to relearn summoner and then level with that because I know my healer will be scholar.

Playing through SB as MCH was fun just for the iconic scene where the Warrior of Light charges at Lyse with a goddamn gun.

Yeah, I always thought it looked awfully silly having my character menace my enemies with a stick while playing as a BLM.

Particularly when they get stopped because the enemy is too far away or something. If only there was some way to, like, throw fire at them.

It's decided. I'm gonna have to come up with a non-edgy DRK glamour and play through the story as that. A big sword is the styliest weapon.
