How are you guys preparing for the expansion?

Wow some of you guys out i a lot of thought on how to level up quickly. I'm not in such a rush to level up. But I may do the leve thing for my main WHM.

it's based on level, so it's probably better to just save it for lv 59 if possible, if you expect to cap during early access; then you'll get several times more XP from the logs.
dungeons is probably gonna be difficult to save until 59 though

Snip.

Heavensward is on a Friday and if you do roulettes or whatnot throughout the week, you can easily complete some things in the first 1-3 days without noticing. I'd prefer to have it close to completion without completing it rather than missing out some stuff because I happened to do Expert Roulette 5 times to cap Poe. The story is supposed to give more than enough EXP and the monsters are supposed to be a bit harder. I'd rather have a slight advantage in the beginning than feel like I'm not ready for what's coming.

Besides, if there's any suprise or extended maintenances (especially on the 22nd before Heavensward goes "officially live" to everyone else). If you're sitting at 58 an the game goes down on the 22nd for a full day (like it is on the 18th), and suddenly poof, 23rd maint is done, and you've missed out on the whole week of bonus EXP because you were waiting and something unexpected happened. Or if the servers aren't very stable and you find yourself struggling to get on every single day of early access. I'd rather not miss out on all that EXP when so much can easily go wrong.

Let's see here:

Try to get Paladin Relic to Zodiac at least, get all my other 8 classes Relic to Atma level, farm all ponies (need Titan, Levi, Ramuh, and Shiva left), and try to clear all of Final Coil (T11, 12, and 13 left).

Though I'm having immense troubles clearing T11... I can never find a decent party to clear with or get a clear party for T11. Either people join in and then leave minutes later or we constantly die during the second phase.

Binge watching Netflix since Heavensward will dominate my life after release... gotta finish Daredevil and Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Hi Selli,

Great list. Thanks.

What I wonder is:

* Do you think SE will RESET everyone's Logs and Timers before 3.0 Launches (clean-slate), so that your partial work on Challenge Log for the week is wiped out?

Every server maintenance resets Hunt Mobs' Timers and all your Wish / Watch List stuff on the Boards. Just curious.

just finishing off leveling Ninja, then im done combat classes. Probably be done by the weekend. Then ill probably mess around in Syrcus with some low Ilvl classes to get some gear.

[KaerisKlyne]

What I've done to prep is:
- have 9 tokens to turn in for Primal Focus to get one new weapon for each of the new jobs (if they're getting Primal Focus weapons)
- have HQ level 30 armour sets for the new roles I intend to play (as I'll be leveling all of the new jobs too see if my BRD/WHM/WAR will be replaced)
- have tokens ready to turn in for 1 poetics weapon and have poetics capped at 2,000 (or close enough to)
- 16 leves ready to turn in on my main job (BRD) immediately
- collect gear to be ready for the new jobs at level 50 to consider doing new main story with them (mostly from FCoB farming)
- general stock-up of super cheap +3% exp food (for me it's 2-3 stacks of Honey Lemons)

Then I'm gonna race change and spend some time at a striking dummy to get as comfortable as I can with the new jobs and their abilities before I queue for instances. My early access goals are to make a final decision what whether or not my raid job will change, and if it does, I want to be ready.

Capped my Leve Allowances, Capped my Poetics and Soldiery for conversion, Gathered materials to make level 30-50 armor sets for Healers and Dps. (not leveling Drk). restocked Xp foods for leveling. restocked all my shards to above 5,000, Crystals to above 1,000.

and cleaned my retainers storage of non essentials, selling all that earned me another 2.5 million
