How are you guys preparing for the expansion?

[Onikimaru]

Well, not much really, i've pretty much done everything in the game. Except best tribes...i hate those daily quests.
Here are some precautions i've taken to ensure i get a nice smooth and stress free experience

1 - Due to DRK being my favorite FF job of all time i know i will be leveling it. So i've crafted all the armor i will need for it, made EXP food and saved some poe for the DRK weapon.
2 - I made sure i did not spend any gil as i will be doing the relic for DRK as soon as possible
3 - I've gone out of my way to gather a TON of shards, crystals, clusters and general crafting items i may need incase i hit a bump.
4 - I have capped myself out on wolf marks, GC seals, leves and poetics. People say they're useless but i beg to differ(only recommend if you like vanity :P)
5 - Stacked up on ventures so i can level my retainers while i am out leveling myself.
6 - currently finishing the monster challenge log on my main job so i can have a good leveling alternative while i do fates or am in a dungeon queue.
7 - I have taken the liberty to set up a get hype mix
8 - fixed up my sleeping pattern and taken a few weeks off work(i wouldn't recommend this AT ALL)
9 - Made my Au Ra preset in the benchmark which BTW CAN be used for our main profile.
10 - Stockpile beer and noodles!.(credits to Stanelis for the idea)
11 - i have tried to clean my inventory and my retainers as MUCH as i possibly could...and this one was a doozy since i am a MAJOR hoarder D:
12 - ????
13 - profit!

Hopefully this helps you and anyone else trying to transition into HW have a general idea of what to expect based on what you'll be doing.
