Just hit 70.. Grind gear or wait for Stormblood?

[Risvertasashi]

Item level 289. I could start grinding dungeons for better gear, but I wonder if anything I get will be replaced soon after SB starts by rewards from MSQ and job quests.

Or, since I plan to level crafting (cooking at least), and both gathering professions, might it be better to do those instead while waiting for SB?

You can wait until shb and buy vendor gear that's nearly as high cheap and easily but, like Gwyn said, you won't be able to complete the MSQ with your current gear. So if you want to start shb immediately immediately when it comes out, you may wish to work on that.

And, you know, what else have you got to do for 3 months while we wait for it.

Yeah you are right, there is absolutly nothing to do except farming mounts, clear actually all the dungeons, normal raids and 24 man raids. I guess this would keep a new player busy enough for the time including getting some gear which is seriously needed for all of the mentioned things.
