Cannot finish ARR MSQs due to raids

[Krojack]

You're having trouble doing the 24 man ARR raids of LOTA, Sycrus Tower and World of Darkness? Those should be pretty easy to queue for and complete. The other raids are pretty much optional unless you want to do relic and then you would need the 3 70 level raids.

Sycrus Tower becomes required content for current 5.3 MSQ content.

Sycrus Tower becomes required content for current 5.3 MSQ content.

It's actually required to finish 2.5 now. The MSQ won't let you progress into the final quests after the Steps of Faith if you haven't finished the Crystal Tower quests. There's even a short cutscene added when the Scions move to Mor Dhona in the first place to direct you towards it, although it doesn't make it mandatory until later.
