Will level 50 still be the cutoff for the armoury stuff?

If you mean the armory EXP bonus, classes below level 60 get 50% extra, and below 50 it's instead 100% extra, as long as it's not your highest level class.

Yeah, I have no idea how it works. It was explained to me that any class below level 50 - once you have a level 50 - gets a 50% XP bonus.

I don't know how true that is.

It's wrong. Magil Zeal is correct, just having one higher level combat class gets all other lower level combat classes the armory bonus. I don't think crafters / gatherers get it though.

Any class lower than your highest class gets 100% bonus exp if they're under 50 and 50% from 50 to 60.

So, I put my pre order registration code in the other day, the SE site says that the download for heavensward opens up on 6/23, so how does the early access work? Is there just gonna be a massive patch come the end of downtime and every client natively supports heavensward or what

Oh god still don't know if I will dragon waifu or stay FRoe. At least I have a few days before the CE fantasia is delivered to decide.

To those of you crazy fuckers taking time off work on a MMO expansion launch day, I wish you a stable login server. Hopefully if there are any issues they will be fixed within 12 hours.

There was a separate update for ARR players so they can play with HW players like Au Ra or the new jobs. The updater knows which one to get based on your account. If you have a HW preorder code entered for your account it'll download the proper HW patch which is something like 8 gigs.


e: My friday plans is to roll an au ra made in the benchmark in some barren server and see if I like their animations and how they look. Gotta save that $$$ on puppet accounts to get twintania instead of fantasia'ing to get the right dragonprincess look! :retrogames:

I was spamming my magitek cannon at the Ishgard gate last night and I forgot to teleport back to the goblet before the servers went down, I hope I don't end up in some sort of overcrowded zone purgatory when I try to log in tomorrow. :ohdear: Also kind of regretting preordering off Amazon since it looks like I won't even get the code so I can download the HW update until tomorrow.

I'm thinking about finally getting CNJ up to whatever level gets my SCH stoneskin now that you get a 100% experience bonus. I can't wait to be that guy pulling all the new classes queued for LLDR into Tam Tara and Sastasha

SE is introducing (temporary) instanced zones to the 3 HW starting zones on some servers (including Excal), specifically to prevent that.

Yeah, if your account has HW linked to it you get a special confirmation prompt in the launcher to download the expansion content, since you can't remove just the expansion later, you would have to do a full uninstall or something.

Basically you will know if you are downloading it and if you are somehow not sure you should probably go check your account page.
