First thing(s) to do when you finally hit 50??

[Garlyle]

Thank you for your reply... I'm not sure what part of the storyline I missed.... so do you think I should start over or just go back and see if I did all the levequest?

Levequests have nothing to do with it! I wouldn't suggest starting over, either, there's very little point. If you have, however, decided that you really don't want to be tanking stuff? Go ahead and start a new class on the same character - you'll have a +50% EXP boost, probably lots of spare/old gear you can use, and cross-class skills to benefit from. You can reach level 20-ish in a handful of hours - do your hunting logs, class quests, and a couple FATEs wherever to get to 12-13. Then spam FATEs in western la noscea while waiting on low level dungeons and you'll be at 20 in no time. If you liked the basic style of Marauder but just don't want to tank, I suggest Lancer.


Check your journal to see if you do have a main story quest on hand (It has a very fancy quest icon instead of a standard one). If you don't, go into your completed quest list and look at the main story list to figure out which the most recent you've completed is, and then take a look through this list to figure out where you are. If you just got your Grand Company, you should be somewhere in the level 21-29 list specifically.

Press "J" select complete quest tab, filter main story quest (fire icon), check the last quest.
In that way you can track your main quest last place and start it from there.

Thank you everyone for the "new to 50" help!
I have a great understanding of what things I can do!

If you skipped part of the Main Scenario quest then its the first thing you want to find. Main Scenario quests icons look different to other quest icons as they have a sort of flame border around the icon. Its the Main Scenario quests that unlock everything else in the game. Its the Main Scenario that unlocks the Chocobo mount which for most people is at lvl 20:P

Doing Levequests won't help move forward the main scenario. If you don't have the main Scenario quest in your Journal you'll have to go looking for the quest. I would suggest first trying the Waking Sands. If the quest isn't there your going to have to try and remember what you did last. I good place to start is to remember which primals you have downed and what dungeons you have unlocked. That will help narrow down what your up to.

do oyu get an extra 50% exp bonus when you get a class to level 50 in addition to the 50% for leveling an additional class for a total of 100% bonus?

No. It's a straight 50% whenever you have another battle class that's higher than your current one. Level 50 has no impact on it.

If you add in the rest bonus to the lower lever battle class bonus you end up with 100% and you can add a food bonus plus the free company one to get over 100%.

[Slapped_Silly]

Its 10% for the FC exp
20% for the under 25% (if you have the recruit a friend feather)
3% for food.

I think the total was around 133% as the most you could possibly have..
