Ah, this one is for job at 50 right? I was thinking about leveling the 3 new jobs, haha.

why stock up on crafting mats? all the new recipes will likely only include new gathering items from HW areas.

There are base items like Alumen, Effervescent Water etc, which may or may not be needed to craft base items. And there may bee a spike in the need for mid level gear for those leveling the new classes. And you may need a few of the higher level items like Darksteel and Spruce which could be required. Not to mention you can also gather crystals and shards as a part of saving up crafting mats.

new jobs will get their own starting gear, so there's no point in crafting stuff for them now. it will last until 50.

Where does it say this? I assumed that the gear you see in pictures of DRK/AST/MCH is AF gear and won't be available until lvl 50 or 60. None of the new classes released since 2.0 had gear sets given to them. And in the very least, you won't have accessories, so prepping lvl 30 gear seems sensible.

And yeah, this kind of preparation isn't for everyone. Depending on whether your focus is on the new classes, leveling your current main or getting into other aspects of Heavensward, the level of preparation will be different and not all of these points will be something you want to do. But everyone plays this game differently. Some people just wanna take it as they come and other want to be as prepared as possible. There is nothing wrong with either style of play if that is what is fun for you. I just created a list of everything I could think of that someone could do to get right into leveling and stuff.

I thought the L50 or lower content didn't give EXP for L50+? Doesn't that apply to leves?

I'm preparing by going outside and getting my vitamin D because next week i'm going full hermit.

An important point that I just remembered: For European players, Wednesday (ie: Tomorrow) is the last day until Friday that we can play.
Maintenance starts at 9.00 AM GMT. Means we'll get the full day on Friday, but we should ensure we are ready tomorrow night, rather than Thursday.

Remove or up price items on auction especially expensive ones. If you are prevented from logging in timely to adjust prices after you are in for heart ache.

If you are a crafter I can't stress this enough, make sure to get loads of shards and crystals. Nothing stinks more than running out when you're on a good leveling streak. I spent the last 2 weeks getting over 2000 shards and crystals of each type. I was only able to get about 130 clusters of each type (which I don't think are going to be used at all or much from 50-60).

Am I the only person who's not doing any prep-work and just going to go at my own pace and enjoy things? o.O
