Thread: How to tackle 3.0?

So we all know its getting close to 3.0 release ( woot!) and some of us wanna rake that dough in.
What would you do?

-Immediately gather the low end heavensward gathering points in attempts to mass flood the MB and sell high cuz there is no " solid price" for it?
- level up your gathering classes asap and sell the stuff from ur leveling so that when u hit level 60 u can monopolize the end tier stuff early and set a "solid price" for it.

- level ur crafters and craft the leveling stuff and try to sell high as its brand new and shiny & the fact tht u have millioms of gil to fund ur materials from gatherers.
- bum rush crafters to 60 using leves etc so that u can be the server 1st omni crafter again and monopolize the end game crafts.

- or level both slowly cuz u want to gather stuff for ur crafters = don\\'t have to pay much as u get ur own materials.

But one thing we all need to consider is how long it\\'ll take to level to 60.
Comsidering it\\'ll be almost like 1-50 again. Also progressing thru the MSQ will allow u to access higher level areas i bet = need flying mounts / airships to reach so and so.

So what do. Lol

And no i cannot edit post cuz im on phone. Lol

Subscribing, also curious of such. Plan of action for me is fuzzy.

Crafting will be controlled by the cartel. If you don't know if you're part of it, you're not. Making money involves getting others to give it to you. Giving them what they desire or think they need is a good start to doing that. So speculate. Get as much information as humanly possible about the upcoming changes and make educated guesses as to what others will want/desire and stock up. Or go on an 'educating' campaign and get others to believe that they need what you have and sell it to them before the changes. I think this is the most fun. Of course it's all smoke because SE will plug most if not all the holes and everyone except the few crafters will be holding the bag. At the bottom of the barrel is what most will do. Get new stuff, sell new stuff. Same market, different day.

I believe I will continue to do whatever I find enjoyable at any given time. Who knows, it might even be profitable.

I don't think that it would be a good idea to tackle Heavensward. Those dragons have rather large spikes and I prefer my shoulders unpierced. I think I'll glomp it instead. Start things on a friendly note.

I want to have fun.

That's what I'll do first.

Then, we'll think about prices and other things.

I preorder and have early access. Going to look around ishgard a little bit and kill something and then level Dark Knight to 50 so i can experience ishgard story with my new main job.

Didn't know tackling 3.0 had anything to do with market economy. I plan to do the MSQ first, with talking as a Dragoon and fighting as a Ninja. Once early access is over and I get my CE bonuses, I fantasia into one of two possible Au Ra, regret my choice and level the 3 new jobs. I'm getting good at speed leveling.

I have lots of balls in the air for a jump on 3.0:

• 16 Tradecraft leves grabbed early in the week, St Coin turn ins, with the items in inventory
• Ixali quests completed 2 days in advance, to turn in and restart before daily reset
• Items in inventory for GC supply/provisioning
• Super secret squirrel plan to make 10s of millions the first day
• Been saving unhidden maps until they added new stuff worth getting, will probably blow through them for exp/tomes, along with maps saved up on retainers
• Making thav onions, hopefully the new choco ranks wasn't referring to racing
• Hoarding in general

Most of the early access I will probably spend burning through leves to get my mule DoHs to 55, miner/botanist on my main to 55, then off to the main story as BLM.
