Returning Player Questions

[Frizze]

Niwashi had the short of it. The only requirement for HW access(aside from buying the expansion) is finishing the 2.x MSQ. The unlocks being thrown at you are all optional content. The trials and dungeons required to advance are only unlocked via the MSQ. The main purpose of those extra dungeons and trials for most people is a source of exp, poetics, and glamours. In the long run its definitely worth it to have the roulettes unlocked, so i would say to do at a minimum the dungeons when you have time. If you enjoy the trials then get all those done too. And Niwashi, as i remember it, only 2 or 3 of the dungeons appearing on the 50 roulette are part of the MSQ(keeper, snow, maybe one other).

I will also add for Rayvein, they did make the old relic easier then it would have been when you did it. Still much more work then other options you have available, but not quite as bad as it was.
