Anyone compile a list of things to do to prep for NIN?

[Fuma]

Just like the title says, has anyone seen or made their own list of things to collect now so they're ready for NIN? Was hoping to see if someone has shared their own checklist of items before I make my own.

I'm hanging onto my salvaged Atherial DoW gear and DEX Accessories

[Ashkendor]

I figure they'll probably be able to use my mnk/drg or brd accessories so no worries there. I'm also guessing they'll either use the standard DoW equip while leveling or have their own recipes made with the ingredients we already have. Stock up on crafting stuff if you have crafters. Leathers, cloths, metals, etc. I can't see them putting an entire new set of ingredients into the game. Then again, I could be completely off. :3

Not really since I'm not too big on Rogue/Ninja.

I'm more into Guns, Gunblades, or Darkness Magic.

Besides since Rogue been confirmed to require at least one level 10 class to unlock I've gotten everything done to prepare for Rogue/Ninja.

There won't be any special condition required to Unlock Ninja except for the basic lvl 15 secondary class so i got that covered just fine since I maxed all my DoW and DoM classes.

If you're going to go the distance then...

1) Have some low level quests ready for completion
2) 100 Leve allowances. (you can open up to 16 Leves as well outside of your allowance).
3) Various STR & DEX Accessories for level 1-50.
4) Various STR & DEX Accessories for level i90+
5) Rads-at-Han Quenching Oil for Relic upgrade.
6) 3/3 Thavnairian Mists for Relic+1 upgrade.
7) 12/12 Atma for Atma Weapon upgrade.
8) 3/3 Enchanted Ink for Novus Scroll.
9) 75/75 Alexandrite for Novus Weapon upgrade.
10) 20,000 Wolf Marks & Rank 38 in PvP (for glamour).
11) 2,000/2,000 Myth for Atma Books.
12) 2,000/2,000 Solds for Weathered gear.
13) 100~200 Allied Seals for i90 AF.
14) 7/7 Sands of Time for i110 upgrades.
15) 4/4 Oils of Time for i110 upgrades.
16) UAT and Tokens for i110 weapon.

Pick and choose what is most important to you from this list. You'll obviously want to level into i90~i110 gear so you can immediately jump into endgame with your friends. Keep in mind there's a new tomestone coming and a lot of this will be invalidated about 2-3 weeks into patch 2.4.

You can do some other off the wall stuff like invite a friend (or open a new account) for the EXP bonus hat, idle in a sanctuary to accrue bonus exp, and more. Recruit (or hire) a friend to level tank and/or healer so queues come in quick. Have smithing leveled with a couple of mats so you can make your own knives/katanas.

12 to 15 are useless it will share gear with MNK anyway ( or BRD for the Dex lovers )

[Fuma]

That's the one thing I'm not sure about, I've seen them say it'll use STR accessories but what about the current endgame gear (i80-i110)? Will they get their own sets for coil, ST, and CT or just be tacked onto MNK? If anyone has seen this could you please link your source as well?

I can't speak on it either way. There hasn't been any conclusive evidence it will be STR or DEX, so essentially people have been smart and collected both over the last couple of months. If you haven't started by now, I wouldn't bother past i90 accessories.

People like using Fuma gear as an example, but nothing is stopping SE from creating similar looking gear, tossing DEX on it, calling it something else, and giving it to Ninja. We've seen this happen very recently with Guardian Gear from Syrus Tower for DRGs and MNKs (two sets of similar looking gear, but different stats).

I compiled a list of 30+ quests that I had yet to do, since the only battle class I had to level from 2.0 was arcanist. People have said that they'll likely add more quests specifically for people to level rogue off of when it's released, but it's nice to have this just in case.

As far as gear goes, I'll just wait to see what I need and craft it at that point.
