this may of been covered im too lazy to read everyones responses right now.

even if you are not actively crafting make the daily turn ins for your gc. even if you just nq them as by the time you look at it more seriously youll of already levelled a bunch. all the mats youll need will be sold in venders (fc vender is great choice)

levellng together takes time and limits you hq chance so best to follow the old arr levelling plan to 50.

which btw you should def do as repairing your own gear saves you gil and you need 50 in most of them to repair all pieces.
