How are you preparing for the release of RDM/SAM? Collective Tips and Suggestions

[Arkenne]

I was under the impression that rdm and sam start at level 30

They start at 50

[SuperNoob]

Sadly I cannot play on early access. It be probably take a few hours of download then next day resume. So I would say I start a day or 2 days later after early access hit.

I'm just farming glams like crazy
I NEED the Weeping city monk torso for my SAM. I need it so much... ç-ç
Getting a few other stuff too, like Alexander (A9-12) gear for SAM, and midas (A5-8) gear for RDM. Sor Khai torso is a must have for RDM too!! Lots of stuff to get...

This is such a helpful little list thanks for posting it!! I already have my i130 set all ready to go and glammed up for red mage and the mats needed to exhchange for the 130 weapon!! Can't wait!! \o/ 6 days til early release!!

I think for RDM I'm gonna just do POTD to 60, and then grab a Scripture weapon and upgrade from the vendor in Idyllshire, and hope that takes me close to 70.

"RDM especially will have a great time in Palace of the dead, with its potent vercure and later verraise, in the 50+ floors at least."

Raise will not be available in PotD.


Also, it's important to have a full stock of rested EXP.

Because of rested EXP, by the way, lvl 50-60 via PotD is the only viable option to me. Doing dungeons or whatever wastes all of your rested EXP and then you have none for 60-70.

Won't the SB MSQ take you from 60 > 70?

I'll be truly shocked if you can just go from MSQ to MSQ and end up being lvl 70 without rested exp and I really don't see it happening. Of course, if it will that'll be very welcome.

Hi OP! It sounds like you are having fun prepping - I think that is great!

[*]Get a head start on leveling. Pick up as many Large Leves as you can. I picked up 10, a week ago and 5 more this week, so that I'm maxed out on the number of leves I can do. Start from the 60 leves and work down. This will help you to have access to easy EXP without being punish by the leve allowance by already having them in your journal. Don't forget to pick up a stack of Ghysal Greens for your Choco!

In regards to the above - are you doing this because you are leveling an existing job first? If not, I feel like perhaps I should remind everyone that leves can only be completed (and turned in) on the job that accepted the leve quest. You can not, say, get a bunch of leve quests on your SCH, do them, and then turn them in on RDM.

It is easy to forget this limitation because it does not exist for DoH leves...which I would wager was the vast majority of leves that players did in HW!
