Raids and dungeons still relevant after expansion?

[Reinha]

So when I hit lvl 60 what is the main things I should run? Of course I'll be going with story missions to 70 but I would like to do stuff on the side as well.

If you can hit 60 before Stormblood I would recommend unlocking all the 24 man raids and 8 man normal mode raids and doing them once. It could be difficult to get those done from Friday onwards. Everything else will be in roulettes.

I'm not sure where will be placed Diadem in Stormblood - if dungeons/raids get unsynced/added to roulettes - Diadem doesn't appear in common DF at all

I'm lvl 57 and still of course trying to hit lvl 60 before HS drops but even when it does I would still like to do end game content before the trek to 70...you guys think there will still be ppl doing those or will everyone be moving on? Wasn't sure if there was really a reason to still be doing it or maybe all the gear will be useless or something like that maybe from even quest items or dungeon drops.

There will still be people doing HW Extream Trials & Savage Raids for mounts & glamour. Just like how people are still doing ARR ones.
But in Stromblood, you will only get rewards if your party is full. Meaning you will not get any rewards with less than 8 party members.

i dont know about in most servers or going into SB but in my server at the start of HW there were still loads of ppl in PF spamming coil for glamours and clears

if thats any help

[Ametrine]

Yeah, I really don't think you'll have too much trouble as all the content you will need/want to clear is all rolled into the roulettes, and with a level cap increase, new jobs, and old job changes, the older content is going to have plenty of action.

That said, the influx of non-instanced content will distract many, and things will inevitably slow down for a bit closer to 4.1 as we are about to massively outgrown the current tome gear and have less incentive to grind until the new stuff is rolled out.

[Recklessfun]

Yeah unfortunately I'm still trying to do quests cause I haven't even got to HW yet lol... The grind from 50 to 60 is real lol. I mainly only play on the weekends but lately been trying to do roulette once a day and that's it for exp once I found out how bad the grind was.

[Sylvina]

Unfortunately once SB hits you're going to be stuck doing all older content unsynced. It'll be extremely difficult to get a group together to do ex primals/savage raids at a normal level because SE thinks everything needs to be made accessible to everyone.

They're correct, it does need to be accessible to everyone. But that doesn't mean unsynced runs.

Any healthy normal person can learn ex primals or savage raids. Just takes a bit of patience.

Gear will be useless so it mostly will be for fun.
I know our FC will probably try and continu the HS primals on our FC evening because we suck and like to have our asses kicked by Niddi so, your welcome to join if you like pain
