Info about the Chinese Cash Shop "Level Jumping Potions"

[Vejjiegirl]

After reading this reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...fxiv_isnt_wow/

"Another thing we’re debating internally is whether or not to have something like World of Warcraft’s jumping potion that would work with both levels an story. The Chinese version actually has something similar to this already. I’m trying to decide if something like this should be timed with 4.0."

I decided to go take a look at FFXIV China's cash shop and give examples on what kind of content you can buy from them to boost your level. This way you will have an idea on what what version Yoshi-P is referring to in the interview.

So first off China FFXIV has pretty much the same things you would find in our cash shop, the only main differences are the China exlusive items (like the dress) and some of the exclusive holiday and Collectors edition items you can get from the NA/JPN version. for example, you can buy the 1.0 Gobuue mount in here (which is understandable since they never had a 1.0 version)

They have a Progression tab in the cash shop where you can buy multiple packages.

Quest Progression Packs.
And Various Job Packs.

Buying the Progression Pack will allow you to auto complete all mainstory quests below 3.0 giving you access to Heavensward content and ishgard instantly.

You also obtain 10 Silver Chocobo Feathers and 300,000 gil.

You can get a discount depending on how many main story quests you have completed before 3.0.

The Job Packs include 10 Seperate packs for each jobs before 3.0 (ninja included) so there is no Dark Knight, Astro, or Machinist Job Packs.

When you buy a Job Pack It will boost whatever job you picked to level 50.

You also obtain the following items and gil
200,000 gil
Ninja Quest Record (used to get your quest skills)
Item level 70 Weapon
10 Silver Chocobo Feathers
