Thread: Relic in 3.0

Im constantly arguing with myself on what time to spend where: get my poetics, level up needed classes, clear Coils....all for 3.0.

The best things you can do to prepare for HW right now (for someone who hasn't been playing this entire time) is to level to 50 any class you intend to bring to 60 right away, level up as many crafts as you can to 50 for cross-class skills (don't worry about master crafting), and horde gil like it's going out of style.

Poetics are only relevant for current content and giving you an edge in leveling up in HW. Nice to have, but you can just collect them incidentally (do an expert a day and you'll cap over a week).

Coils are irrelevant. You don't need a T13 clear to start Alexander raiding. That being said, finding a static for 3.0 content NOW is probably a good idea.

I recommend stockpiling gil, grand company seals, and ventures for the expansion. Of all the currencies in the game, these three are the most likely to remain important going forward.
