2. Unlock the other 15 dungeons. You should mix this up, clear 2-3 dungeons if possible a day, grab any friends or FC members along with you for the first time bonus.
3. Ilevel bump tips: ask any of your FC members or friends, who have access to Ishgard, to buy you normal quality accessories level 115 ASAP now from vendor in Ishgard stores. Yes you will get level 110 weapon, gears, and accessories down the road on MSQ, but you still have to clear those dungeons, etc, by getting normal quality stuffs earlier, it makes doing them so much easier. Do not pay inflated price in the market board, but do check the gears + accessories, sometimes undercutter may put things below vendor prices.
4. To avoid massive burn out, mix it up with doing daily roulette stuffs, leveling other lower level jobs that you may overlook for your cross class. And doing your crafting and gathering. Plus the usual weekly challenge on FATE, levequest, etc...
5. You will have to do those Hard Mode original three primal for main story quest, yes they will not let you get away from this, so may as well unlock your Relic Weapon quests, and get them all done for level 90 glamour weapon :)
6. Make sure you max up your grand company standing and able to unlock Hunt Board. You will use this feature more in 3.0. so get that done if you have not done it yet.
JUST GOT TO ISHGARD WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! what now?

07-28-2015, 11:09 PMLuvbunnyYou do want this unlocked, for duty roulette high level, which will be a good source of XP later on for level 50-51, as well as farming Law tomes. Basically at level 50, you want get your level 170 starter gears to do most other things. You can get Law tomes doing daily roulette on: expert, high level, leveling dungeons, PvP, and trials.Quote:

On another note, level 51-59 dungeons are rather easy to figure out the mechanic for first timers. At least two of these dungeons will be part of the main story missions, so yeah might as well get them done.
You also get poetic tomes, which is still the best gears for level 120, and will last you till level 53-55 dungeons. So it is a good investment to run the endgame stuffs, farm the poetics, get the gears for any of your alts jobs at level 50.
Also make sure you register the expansion on your Mog Station account to be able to get past level 50 :) -

Just gonna add quick tips on gearing after you reach level 60:
1. Make sure you have been diligent doing your daily hunt marks from level 53,56,59, and now finally Elite Weekly Hunt mark. You should have at least 500 centurio seals or close to it by this time.
2. As fresh level 60, check the vendor gears in Azys Lla, you want to hit level 145, accessories you can get from amber vendor near the Levequest NPC in Foundation - I am hoping you amass 10-15 by now doing your levequest. Grab 1-2 accessories, only if needed to bump overall 145 gears level. Market Board is another options but it is generally overpriced, not worth it.
3. Unlock the 2 endgame dungeons, go run them. Do your daily roulettes high level, leveling, and trials. You should have decent amount of Law tomestone, run another endgame till you are able to buy your weapon.
4. Law Tomes Gears is your basic gears to let you enjoy the endgame content. It is bare minimum. Which one to get first? I would get at least a weapon, body, and 2-3 accessories, maybe belt. This should take maybe 3-4 days if you only do roulette and extra runs of the dungeons (and not grinding till you want to puke). Use your centurio seals to upgrade body and weapon, or if you want, you can upgrade 3 accessories instead to 180. The 2 endgame dungeons will give you plenty of 160 gears, they are good in between gears while you upgrade the rest of your gears to 170.
5. In about one week after you reach 60, you should have a good mixture of level 160, 170 and 180 gears. You probably be able to meet the minimum for Alexander normal. Unlock it, and do it, you will get at least 1-3 accessories level 190. This is why I suggest to only get 2-3 accessories from Law Tomes since you will get the others from Alexander.
6. After 10 days and a few Alexander run on week 1, you probably at 175-178. You can try the extreme primals now if you want, for your new weapon.
7. Esoteric gears + weapon are much slower to obtain, pick which main jobs you want to spend this on. Probably body, weapon, and leg first. Even without esoteric gears, you probably will be able to hit level 180 in 2-3 weeks playing casually, mix and matching Alexander 190 gears and upgraded Law gears to 180.
