So your plan for 3.0 release?

So what is everyone going to do first once 3.0 is out some number of months from now?

Level and unlock the new Jobs? (Job Trainer location are unknown but since they're Job trainers it is still possible they are placed in locations within the 2.0 MS reach)

or

3.0 Main Scenario for the story and/or to reach lvl 60 for endgame?

For me I'm just going into Machinist to lvl 50 first since I normally Main a Gun Job in games. (I just like Gun Jobs and even more so a Engineer Job since I feel more comfortable playing as one and normally play at my best with a Gun Job).

Though I do enjoy the Tank role sometimes and if Dark knight plays well as a Tank I may Main that instead.

3.0 Main Scenario will be my target once Machinist or Dark Knight is lvl 50.

(PS yes it is early but heck with it I'm going to ask this question eventually)

Drk to 60 then everything else.

Assuming rumors that 3.0 will have a 2.0-sized MSQ are true, I'm gonna take it slow and enjoy it. I'll likely test out Au Ra in the character creator and give the new classes a try before delving head-on in the story.

My plan is to watch all the people who plan to no-life it and complete all the content in a week, then bitch about how there's nothing to do.

I'll be fantasia'ing to Au ra immediately, followed by main scenario. Once that's done, I'll work on raising my everything to 60

My plan is to watch you "watch people no-life it and complete all the content in a week, then bitch about how there's nothing to do" and bitch about it, and bitch about it.

I plan to change my race to an Au'Ra and level mechanist to 60 since it will be my new main job. Then I'll level the other 2 jobs to 50. After that then focus on the main story.

Turning into Au'Ra first. After that I dunno if I wanna do story or try to level up the new classes with a friend. xD

probably cap current main, for new skills. check out new zones/content.
the longer you wait to do new content, the more likely you are to not be welcome in PF groups, or ppl that are already speedrunning stuff, etc.
only took a few hrs, before ppl started whining at ppl, how they die in WoD. So i prefer to be in the first wave to go through that stuff, so i can join any farm groups, whenever.
I waited a few weeks when Titan EX was released...and had to trudge through PUGs, for 100+hrs before i cleared it; i didn't like it, but i only got clear cause i started replacing ppl.

I'll try out the new jobs, see if they are more fun than current roles; i kinda like sch, so i duno if AST can replace that. MCH can probably replace BRD though. DRK looks more awesome, with it's AF/Relic, than PLD/WAR.
But yah, all depends on how they play.

If this happens devs need to take a look at how they are developing endgame. Cause this is a development problem. Do not even have to no life the game now... run out of stuff to do playing 20hrs a week with a competent group. Hoping 3.0 fixes the lack of content issue that has been plaguing current endgame since 2.0.

eh, as far as i know, there's just Alexander raid, and new primals (which don't really count as end-game)
there's always going to be much more generic content, than end-game raids.
Are you expecting multiple different raids? sorry, but not gonna happen :)
at best it will be something like Coil/CT; one casual, and one hardcore.

what would be interesting is if they made Alxander normal a 24 member version of the raid and Hard version the 8 member version.

Of course that most likely won't happen but would a interesting way to create 2 separate paths for Alexender with Normal and Hard version having different bosses due to taking a different path through Alexander.

Well it depends on who you go in with and what goals you have. Endgame stuff like EX Primals are mostly endgame players anyways and a good amount often take it as serious business which is why most EX Primal groups are very picky.

Bad attitude players should not force you to rush content anyways. No matter the outcome there will always be bad attitude players.

Besides in 3.0 the community will be split into different content anyways.

depends if I like the machinist abilities or not. If I do, I'll lvl it first, if not then monk to 60.

I haven't seen this brought up but there are a lot of multiple page threads about the new classes so maybe I missed it.

What if the three new classes require you complete a level 60 quest in a Heavensward area?

Back during the Reveal of DK, Mach, and Astro, Yoshi-P announced there is no Main Scenario requirements.

Players are only required to unlock Armory System to unlock DK, Mach, and Astro so they can easily grab it with a new character even in 2.0 MS.

Though the only issue outside of this is finding the Job Trainers since being Jobs they are not bound to Class Guilds or a quests from Class Guilds which usually provide a quest that leads players to the Job Trainer location.

Of course SE may release the location info for 3.0 on lobestone but that is just a may be.

Turn into Au Ra then start on the Main Story.
Main Story is the most important part and I'm dying to know what's gonna be going on.
I'll give the new classes a try, too, of course. Astrologian and Machinist for sure - dunno about DRK.

Mess with Au Ra creation, see if I like, then Fantasia my char into one. After the first step is done, look for the DRK trainer and start my journey as a being of darkness and eventually follow the footstep of many others who rushed like madmen on day 1 through MSQ.

True, I will be behind on content, but I won't get burned out of it either...

But thinking about weekly tomestones and how that is handled... Might change my plans eventually.

definately level my bard to 60 to finish story so i can have that smexy dragon mount *o* then focus on leveling and gearing mechanist :P

The same as a lot of people: I'll play with Au'Ra creation.
Then I'll probably unlock the 3 jobs to check abilities and traits. Depending on the results, I'll level them or take my Bard to 60 for Alexander.
Unlock a flying mount and take a bunch of screenshots in the sky :p

I'll start leveling RDM.... <sigh>

Hard to say, but I think finding the Dark Knight unlock and leveling that up will probably be first on my list. At some later point I will unlock the other two Jobs.

Few things here. There are like literally no "Job Trainers" in this game. There aren't any trainers period, as those are npcs in mmo's that you purchase/level-up your skills/abilities from hence why they are called trainers.

We do have side story npcs in which we get a story quest every 5 levels, however most of the time they are rarely actually "training" us. Sometimes completing a quest will give us a skill, and it depends on the Job you are as to how that might have been learned. Some job stories have you just remembering a skill from the depths of your own mind, some have you learning it through ancient texts, a few actually do have a npc teaching us the skill sometimes "passing it down", it can be learned though the spirits, though the memories of fallen warriors, mastered through actual combat, gained by making a pact. There are a number of ways we "learn or gain" an ability via job quests. Only seldom is it because the npc we talked to actually "trained" us to use it.

Though if we were talking about classes, then yeah, basically we get "trained" to learn a new skill at those early levels because we're part of the training guild and the guild master trains us.

Secondly, the 3.0 jobs won't be unlockable in 2.0 areas. It's just not going to happen, because it makes no sense. That and the fact that they are not even available unless you have the expansion just means they will be in the new areas. It doesn't even make sense to put the new job quest npcs in old zones, none whatsoever.



But back to your topic, after I get Dark Knight unlocked probably will level it to 50 and then start the new content with it and with my Summoner, then will probably work on my Dragoon from 50-60 to get the AF2 (because it looks so awesome) and then never touch Drg again unless I'm showing off. lol..

I'll level up all the jobs I have already at 50 to 60, maybe. I'll at least get my White Mage to 60 so I have a healer at 60, next to my Drk tank and Smn dps. Will probably take it somewhat slow on the new main scenario, but I cant say for sure. I'm really excited to delve deep into the new stuff so I might not be able to hold back.

Leveling up Dark Knight will definitely set me back a little bit on doing stuff, so there is that.

I'm just super excited for this expansion.

Will be doing main story while getting white mage to 60, after that probably get monk to 60, and paladin as well.. Not all that interested in the new jobs (yet) really.

Story and my bard to 60 then the rest.

Probably make an Astrologian and work on getting it to 60, whilst getting my other classes to 60, whilst doing the new content... so in short a little bit of everything!

I will try Au Ra in the char creator, unless SE decide to launch a character creator benchmark before 3.0, if i like them, fantasia and name change (my actual name follows Miqo naming conventions so it would be weird on Au Ra).

I will unlock DRK level it at my own pace, then ninja to 60, and enjoy all the new content and world with friends to avoid drama for being late lol.

Going to try aim for World/Server firsts, for sure. Hopefully the new DX11 benchmark gives us a character creation tool, just like the 2.0 benchmark so I can import my Char within the first minute of logging in

Change one of my retainers into a Au Ra with the retainer fantasia.

Main Story Quest (my favorite part of the game) + levelling my WAR to 60 (i love my WAR, so I need to see the new skills in action >.<).
I think it will take 10 / 15 days. I just don't want to rush, just enjoy the game.

After that, starting the weekly tome cap / beast tribe quests + levelling PLD and BLM to 60 + starting the new relic quest (if we get it in the 3.0) + starting the new raid

After that, I will level the DRK to 60, farm the new primals and start the old relic for the DRK (if they are availables for the new jobs).

There is still hope my friend. After all Yoshi-P does want to get a Melee Mage Job into F14ARR.

Back on Topic:

I'm still in the mix between choosing Dark Knight or Machinist as my main to lvl 50 before hitting 3.0 Main Scenario. Best I can do now is gear up on Tank gear and Dex Range gear until 3.0 release so I can decide which Job I want to focus on as my main job.

So far Machinist wins my favor since I'm only average skilled in the Tanking Role currently but a few practice with Warrior is getting my skills back up a bit with Tanking Role again.

Since there is no point in making the same thread again, I'll bump this up.

So anyone else have plans for 3.0?

Off topic:

It is possible Dark Knight, Machinist, and Astrologian Job Trainers may be placed in 2.0 areas. If so most likely players that do not have 3.0 (aka 1st expansion) will not be able to obtain the Job Quest that unlocks those Jobs from the Job Trainer but may be able to talk to the Job Trainer and learn about the Job's history.

I don't know where to begin! Most likely leveling my WHM to 60 while completing the main story. Then I want to try out the Alexander raid... but also want to take Machinist, Astrologian, and Dark Knight (why must they ALL appeal to me?!) to 60. Also need to explore all the new zones and eventually bring all my crafters/gatherers up to cap.

So much to do. x.x

Turn in to au ra, rush thru main scenario and get whm to 60 then dump all my old yucky gear for new shiny quest gear. Try and do a lot of end game stuffs
I.e whatever new bosses or raids etc
Assuming it probably won't require t13 clear as it is a whole new thing that is most likely separate to the bcob.

Level Ast cuz there will be fate party zergs or whatever the new thing will be. Try to make a few bucks of of MB. Try to be slightly more elitist so i can actually get things done and not wait forever like how i failed at titan due to being too nice in PF/ pugs. I got stuff done after replacing ppl so yea nothing new. Same ol same ol ya digg?

Unlocking and leveling dark knight on day one.

I am still in the middle of one problem. I want to progress slowly and enjoy the story but I also want to hop into new raiding with my static ASAP. -_-

I only care about the new healer job - that one with tarot cards :x

The rest? I dont care xD

Im pretty sure players over lv50 will be set back to lv50 in all current dungeons we has. Because of the balance! :P (or we will hear "LF> lv60 DPS/tank/healer for turn13!" )

hmmm let's see

1. Buy a fantasya
2. Morph into an Au Ra
3. Do the Main scenario
4. Level the 3 new jobs.

I'll get AST, WHM (current main), and all my gatherers to 60 first. Then work on MSQ and actually enjoy it. All that should take me at least a month or so.

Seriously...


Bard to 60 immediately, via MSQ and new dungeons and stuff. Get my main ready for Alexander raiding. Everything else comes second to that.


Edit - Keep in mind y'all: BCoB wasn't accessible in 2.0 until you finished the HM primals, which needed you to complete the MSQ before even accessing those. If you are trying to jump into raiding immediately DON'T LEVEL VIA FATES UNLESS YOU ARE OUT OF STORY!!!

just a friendly reminder :D

So far what I've thought about is getting WHM to 60 first, do story and think about other jobs what other jobs I want to get to 60 and then mess with new jobs.

Like most, I will probably level at least one job to 60 through everyone's favorite past time fates. Depending on if a new tomestone is introduced in 3.0 or 3.1 will depend on what I do next. If the new tomestone is in right away, I will attempt to max out for the week. If not, I will continue to fate grind. Possibly even level the DRK.
