^^ Not to mention, some of us just want ways to focus the remaining time that we have before Endwalker. If I'm going to be playing the game anyway, what's the harm in playing the game in ways that benefit me when I'm taking Reaper to 80?

I have my khloe book ready to hand in, spent hours clearing out 3 years worth of garbage from my retainers, I have an edenmorn weapon coffer waiting to be used on reaper or sage depending which I finally choose to level and the scaevean gear to go with them, I have made a butt load of consumables for use and sale, I just need to know where the job quests for reaper and sage will be so I can log out in those areas. I even did a bunch of side quests in ShB areas to bump myself through levels faster. Beyond that I haven't prepped for crafters or gatherer leveling, I did want to make some money but at the same time I don't want to rush story and such for the sake of some gil that I don't even use. Just gonna chill with msq using trusts for dungeons for full immersion once I blasted Sage/Reaper to 80.

-I have a bunch of quests ready to be turned in for reaper (enough for almost 1lvl).
-Khloe is ready
-Challenge log is ready
-Got some low priced food
-Got some rested XP
-Got the 15% XP buff from squadrons
-ShB daily hunts prepared because why not
- tome gear for lvl 70 ready for reaper and sage, already got drg to max ilvl too
-Inventory almost cleared
-cleaner HUD and macros ready(i use them to switch jobs easly)
-will get some aetheryte tickets

Why Tails guys? :o

It gives half a level per book, so if you turn in two as a Reaper or Sage you get to 71 and can go straight to Bozja or Holminster.

Had a thought, are we certain belts will even be desynth-able after expansion?

I got all mine sorted out, too, but suddenly realized I might want to get them cleared out before maintenance in case there's nothing to do with them...

Belts will just go to calamity salvager.

We will be able to desynth, vendor or exchange for GC seals. I'm just keeping a bunch of bozja and 510 gear to see if I can desynth them after launch.

Backup your settings before the game goes down for maintenance!

You never know if there might be an error installing the patch and your nicely crafted hotbars and UI are gone!

Players above level 80 will receive a maximum of 1,000 EXP when submitting items to the House of Splendors or Ishgardian Restoration.

Seems this would imply 80-81 still gives normal exp. Might be a good way to get an easy level on all crafters / DoL

6.x

Experience points rewarded when using a class at level 80 or above to complete a leve with a level requirement below 80 have been capped at 1,000.

Relatively substantial change. Crafters always had their exp nerfed on expansions but DoL didn't. This seems to imply that DoL is going to be in the same boat as Crafters now.
