What do you do once you've gotten to 60?

[Gaj85]

I would say go after the Anima weapon but that is a long grind and it will be useless come Stormblood (except for glamour). I am a little burnt out as well, when I log on I just practice with my Dark Knight and try to gear him up. I main as a Black Mage so tanking is still pretty new to me. My DRK is ilevel 250 but I still have trouble because I am inexperienced, so yea. Maybe you can do like me and try to learn a new role?

So you have done every dungeon, including the side Story dungeons. All the major side Story quests. Alexander storyline. Beast tribe quests. Etc. If so then crafting or Golden Saucer is the thing or just play another game

Um....honestly?

I learn how to play that class, try to beat hard SSS dummies, gear up with uncapped tomes/drops, try again, take said classes into ex/savage content for even better gear and try to out dps anyone, do expert roulette & outpreform my whole party by far to get script to get even more gear to outpreform even more. Especially those on the same class as the one I am.

Oh yeah and do stuff with friends.

Having just came back to the game from a 2 year absence myself, I'm gearing my main class up a bit. I'm at the point I can do the HW raids, and Ex Primals, so I just have to find learning parties and a group of people to actually play with, since I still don't really know anyone.
While I'm not doin that, I'm leveling my other classes I enjoy and my crafters to 60, catching up my beast tribes, working on my anima, and farming dungeons for glamour pieces I've yet to get. Oh, and furnishing my little apartment, which I plan to keep until housing issues are properly addressed.

What you shouldn't do though, is force yourself to do things you don't enjoy. If you don't like X classes and you have no need for them to get to a certain level, don't level them. Spend your time on something you enjoy, no matter how silly it might seem.

Hey everyone !

I'm asking because I'm finding myself not logging in anymore due to not knowing what to do once I'm logging in and an overdose from doing POTD over and over to level classes that I don't want to play (Those I like are already 60).

I've joined the game about two months ago and since Stormblood is around the corner, I don't see any interest in doing old dungeons for now since every progress I make will be wiped clean come June.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm loving the game, the story and the overall quality of it. I just want to find something that'll keep me interested until stormblood comes out and I can hop back into the hamster wheel of gearing (And be at the same place as everyone else).

As others have said, Crafting, Gathering, Beast Tribes. Stuff where the 'progress' will carry over to Stormblood. That would be my suggestion, anyway.

Going forward, by the way, this is something to simply 'get used to' when it comes to FFXIV. The game is strongly vertical, so there is relatively little long-lived content available. Even from one update to the next, a lot of gear will either be replaced or will be made significantly easier to get. This tremendously amplifies the 'hamster wheel' feeling that you referenced. Typically people take breaks as a result; say, subscribe for the first month or two of a patch, and then wait for the next content update to launch before re-subscribing. My personal cycles are slower; I'll play for six months, then quit for a year or so (I maintain interest via Crafting / Gathering rather than dungeons, so once those start burning out, there's little to keep me around).

I'm not Lvl60 yet, but I enjoy doing Chocobo racing/breeding. It can get pretty addicting. Gathering/crafting is quite enjoyable too.

I can see why you might have lost interest in the game. I'm currently gearing one of my alts and man let me tell you, I asked myself at least hundreds of times why I am not just playing my main, since I have everything unlocked and wouldn't have to go through this hassle.

But then I realized that back in the day as I was leveling my main and gearing it, I mostly cut every dungeon/cutscene/side quest/Hildebrand quest and even some primal and raid content.

This time around I only did a couple of hunts/daily roulettes/potd for tomes since it's faster in my personal experience then running older content dungeon and a little pvp. Within a short time I found myself not at ilvl 270 of course but somewhere around 250.

That gave me a lot of possibilities in running the a bit more "up to date" dungeons, raids and 24 man. I wouldn't have to stop during MSQ either because I did have the required item level already. Maybe if you look at it that this way, you will find a bit more "freedom" in your daily gaming or decision making and can enjoy the content till storm blood.

At the end you will need all that anyways unless you plan on leveling the new jobs strictly with potd since any other content would be locked for you and most likely it would take weeks if not months (depending on how many hrs you're playing) to just catch up. Making the new expansion a absolute nightmare for you.

[Unscene]

Faff about, mostly.

Best thing to do is to make a new alt account and level a new job. When I'm bored on my main, I work on end-game stuff for my 2 other alts. Take your time with the story and enjoy the journey!

[Bourne_Endeavor]

In no particular order, I:

Raid
Collect mounts and minion
Craft
Gather
Level up secondary jobs and learn how to play them properly
Make multiple Animas (About to start my third)
Hunt for achievements
Make stupid mistakes on old fights I don't entirely remember. >.>
