    Here you go, all the info you need for the potions ^^ -> https://youtu.be/JreEQPFs_7k?t=38m36s

    Sucks that wanna skip the story, it did get better in HW I would recommend going through it (PLEASE try to get your money's worth out of the game and don't make your exp with this game shorter then everyone elses because you may hit that content wall hard and be bored). Thats your choice if you wanna skip everything but do be aware that job poitions only work for 1 job not all. & With the changes to the battle system, your "possibly" gonna be re-learning your job all over again & and the 1st thing your going to be doing when SB early access goes live is readjusting your hotbars for the new system. Take some time with WAR I guess (WAR is the "DPS" Tank, while PLD is more your DEF "Party" Tank) and try to enjoy HW ^^

    Not wanting to do the story again I can fully understand! (And again: I'm not judging anyone who wants to skip the story enterily, even on their first character - I'm just wondering how happy a person who doesnt want to see the story at all is going to be witha Final Fantasy game)

    There are many people who rush through the story skipping every dialog and cutscene, even if you didn't have the skip potion these people would still not read dialog and not watch cutscenes, so it's no difference.

    yeah I know, It may sound weird but there are people out there that do enjoy mindless grinding with no context to what there doing

    Can someone explain this to me somehow? I'm sorry, I just cant wrap my head around this >.< I guess everyone enjoys different things about the game in the end and thats fine, but I just dont get this...

    In OPs case for example: was it the setting you didnt like and you hope you'll like the SB one better? Or the characters?
    1) The sooner I get through old content the sooner I can play with the general community and friends on the new content.
    2) There are way, way too many MSQs. I quit FFXIV when I completed the 100 MSQs of ARR (Zzzz) and saw that there were 100 MORE before STARTING HW. Without jump potion, I would never come back.
    3) The MSQline is heavily padded, which may work all right if you're consuming content bit by bit but is tortuous back-to-back when catching up. All the ARR fetch quests and story padding (hey, we need you to provision a feast to fight a boss) ate away at time without adding much to the world.

    I agree with the poster above that the MSQ becomes mind numbingly draining when you have to do it in bulk while trying to catch up. Most people experienced it in piece meal through multiple patches which resulted in a very different experience.

    I can only speak for myself because yes I fully intend to buy the story skip potion. My reason is because I'm behind my friends and to be honest they're the only reason why I'm even playing. One of them has valid health concerns and has a stress anxiety problem. Most of which has been triggered by players acting dumb in duty finder. It's gotten to the point where they've had to go to the hospital over it. I've begged them to quit and quit games all together, they won't and I'm torn on the subject because it is wrong of me to try and take away what enjoyment they have. They love FFXIV and the setting and story. I don't, but I do want to take away the stress of random healers from them and to spend time with them because frankly I don't know what tomorrow will ever bring. $25 and skipping through as fast as I can through SB just to give my friend an hour of stress free dungeons a day is a small price to pay and its worth the cost to me.

    That is a fantastic gesture and good things should happen for you because of it.
