    Ok i see. I suppose it's fair that it's $50... After all WoW charges $60 of their boost. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to buy both but if anything I'll just get the level skip and burn through the story as quickly as possible.

    Honestly, it's a lot faster and less of a hassle to level a job than it is to get through the MSQs if you have no interest in the story. The patch 2.55 MSQ arc bridging the gap from ARR to HW in particular drags. on. forever.
    If you have to choose and want to get into SB as quickly as possible skip the story and just level manually through the many options available.

    yes keep in mind I said this too:

    If you can only buy one buy the MSQ one, the 50 MSQ quests are hell (they drag on and on and eat time) and I ended up as level 60 before getting them done. SO because of the MSQ block, I was prevented getting my level 52-60 abilities etc.. Way easier to speed level then dealing with those long as af 50 SMQ quests UGH! worst part in leveling a crafting alt.
    Ama is my alt, I was raging for about 2 or 3 weeks over the MSQ 50 block. Ama got 60 before the level 50 MSQs were finished, still a sprout status from it and unable to get the 52-60 job quests because of the MSQ block. the 50 msq has a lot of running around and eat a lot of time. I rather level a job to 60 then deal with that BS. You want SB acess quick as possable? by the MSQ one or at least buy the 50 MSQ skip + 50 leveling one.

    when I say 50 msq, i mean quests that are level 50 that block HW, there is like 100+ quests on them, they suck.

    please do yourself a favor and don't do that. the story will reward you with enough exp to reach max level with one class. so if you do the storyquests anyway you would waste your money.

    If you're going to burn through the story anyway, don't buy a skip potion. You can a massive amount of EXP doing the quests and you'll be skipping all that dialogue anyway. Personally, if you only want one, I'd pick the ARR skin. It's by far the longest and more tedious grind. Looking at your profile though, if you've reached 37, it'd probably be better for you to just power on through.

    Only 1 item is for level boost
    The other item is for MSQ boost, not for the level

    The worst part of leveling is the quests between 2.0 and 2.55, since you are already level 37, I would advice you to keep playing. When you reach Heavensward, you will finish it alot faster then you would expect and the best part is, the story is pretty good. Do'nt worry about good armour and weapons, there will be vendors that are going to sell ilvl 250-260 gear, which is fine for Stormblood.

    The producer also said that you can only use 1 leveling potion per character (account?), this means that if get bored of playing Paladin and want to level another class, you will need to start leveling them from start, which means for most classes this begins at level 1.

    My personal advice is, to just take your time and enjoy, but if you have money and you want to spend it, go ahead.

    You won't be able to do any quests in Stormblood before you've completed Heavensward main quests. In that case you'd be better off buying the ARR+HW story skip if not both potions.

    Another option is to just use this remaining time to level your character and follow the story as far as you can. Depending on your daily play time you might not need the skip potions at all. Here's where you can check your progress: http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Gu...Locked_Content.

    Worth noting that just doing the 2.x quests and associated dungeons once will land you around 52, which helps a bit with bridging some level gaps in the 50 to 60 MSQ (approaching or being at 60 before completing it can only be done intentionally as it requires running dungeons or potd quite a bit).

    That's about what you're giving up experience wise if you use the ARR skip.

    Also, if you do choose to use it but are at least somewhat interested in the story remember to read the summary in your completed quests section of your journal and watch the Unending Journey scenes when you get a chance, as two of the main story arcs tie directly into Heavensward and the other two main arcs tie directly into and help set up Stormblood (part of the reason it's so long compared to the 3.x stuff).
