Am I doing everything right?

I have now hit the 46 gap (daily duty is already done). What should i do now, where do i start. People mentioned sidequests, where are they?

Edit: Okay, so i googled it, and it said just to run Aurum Vale and Dzemael Darkhold a few times.

Things to do:

- Check the side room at the Waking Sands. There are three characters who will give a breedcrumb quest. One quest is at 46, one at 47 and one at 48. Each quest starts a quest chain.

- Your now high enough lvl to unlock all the Beast tribe dailies. These are available main city Grand Company bases usually.

- FATEs in Northern Thanalan and Mor Dhona will give quite a lot of EXP.

- Leves in Mor Dhona can net you 15k exp each.

- High lvl dungeons will give you a fair amount of exp.

- Keep an eye on your map when you zone into places as quests available will show up on the map. A lot of unlocks need you to pick up breadcrumb quests. While most are at 50 its worth keeping your eyes out for ones like the treasure hunting unlock which I believe is in Wineport if you haven't gotten it. Not a heap of Exp but if your up that way the treasure hunting can be a rewarding diversion.

- Now is also a good time to finish off your Hunting Log as finishing it will net you a ilvl 55 ring at 50 and a pretty decent chunk of exp.

Okay, i'm about 25% away from being 49, and i hear from there it's smooth sailing. I'm going to log in and get my daily roulette done, then resume the main story.

So thanks everyone. All of your advice helped me a bunch. All the way from level 30ish to 50.

I do have one final question. Is the main story (once i hit 50), at any point, going to require me to raid? I'm not ready for that commitment just yet.

No.

The main scenario will expect you to do dungeons and trials and some of the content will be eight man but all is very pugable and accessible through the duty finder and none of it takes more than about half an hour to run.

Having said that the Crystal Tower raids are actually very easy, particularly now and a good way to get gear. Again most people pug them since they are 24 man raids and they usually don't take more than 30 to 40 mins to run. There is a attunement quest but its pretty easy. 24 man raids do work a little different to how raids in most other games do as players are actually organised into 3 8 man parties but its pretty intuitive.

The main thing you want for fights at end game is just knowing the mechanics. In some cases they are so minor they can be ignored or you can be carried but others can one shot. My advice is to use an online video guide so you at least know what to expect. Even then you will often find the fight a lot easier than it actually looks in the guides. Two I use are:

The Main Scenario continues after you hit 50 and finish the 2.0 quests. You'll find a lot open up at 50. If you enjoy the story there is a lot more of it to come.
