New Player - Job Level Boost

[OmegaFluxx]

It does unlock all duties from ARR and HW, but you will have to manually unlock all Primal extremes and Raids(sidequests). People farm these often for glamour and mounts. As far as MSQ it is very tedious and the amount of MSQ's in ARR AND HW is more like 250. Like you said most are go talk to this guy, deliver this thing get a bunch of XP then eventually run a dungeon or fight some enemies. In short i bought both boosts because i know how tedious the MSQ is.

I have been pressing on with the MSQ, but it is starting to wear a little thin at this point.

I feel like I may just buy the potion to complete it and then level up doing instances, since they're fun. That way, at least I become familiar with my chosen class.

Which part of the MSQ are you on? Roughly speaking? There are a couple slow periods, but if you havent done it then the story is really good.

Umm, I'm level 36, and I've just entered a snow area, Coerthas is it?

I'd kinda be interested to know what their sales are looking like. I'm wondering if there's really anyone that buys the story boost without the job boost. I mean, maybe if you're somewhere through HW and close enough to 60, and you just want to get to SB now. But otherwise, it sounds a bit useless for anyone to buy the story boost on its own. (although, I suppose one nice perk for either one is it would skip past Castrum/Praetorium dungeons...)

[OmegaFluxx]

Yeah, true. I feel like spending another almost £40 having already spent £50 for the game and both expansions is a little much. Especially since I'm already almost halfway to level 60, and that didn't take me too long to do.

Well let's look at the current system. Leveling from 1-60 takes nearly no time anymore, you can accomplish that in a couple of days, if you put enough time and effort into it. 60-70 takes a week, maybe two if you are not using the pvp method as only reliable source of exp and are watching the cut scenes and reading the dialog.

MSQ on the other hand from 1-50 takes not much time either, but then comes the MSQ hell gate, that you will have to unlock just to reach the heavensward area's and their new jobs if you're interested in that. This alone are 250+ quests, then the whole HW MSQ, we're looking at roughly 500+ quests total for both ARR and HW before even reaching SB content. SB's MSQ is another bunch of ultra long quests.

Also I do know that they did say 1 potion per account, I am not sure if that was just for the job potion, or also includes the MSQ. If that's the case, you would only be able to use one or the other. Might be wrong, however even if that's not the case, my suggestion if you do not want to dish out $50 or even more, just level via potd to 60, your friends can even help you with that since speed runs take only couple of minutes. And then spend your money on the MSQ potions for ARR and HW, I think the HW one includes the unlock of ARR and you wouldn't need to purchase both of them.

Edit: If you take your time and do some research, I've posted many comments on the other topics about that, and then exactly know what you're doing and skipping everything unnecessary in the game, including lore and cutscene's, and have 4+ hours a day on your hand, you will be able to reach 1-60 in just 7 days. Plus or minus a day, give or take. That's when running regular content, aka MSQ for a little bit, dungeons, hunting logs, Clan hunts starting with HW, daily roulette's.

If you're leveling via palace of the dead, the first 50 levels can be very slow, since you don't have another class/job at higher level. Meaning you won't get the armoury bonus that you would be getting if that's the case. However in circumstances of being DPS as example, PoTD can be faster since dungeon queue's take forever and even longer now with the expansion being released. As tank and heals you nearly get instant queue therefore, you are faster doing regular dungeons, as long as you chose dungeons at your level or one/two levels lower. Having done it on an alt, I can tell you the first 60 levels take around a week and half, maybe two. Now difference would be, if you're spending more then 8 hours a day in POTD with your friends, making runs quicker and just speed running these, still will take a good while, in comparison to investing that kind of time to the regular content, then you would be 60 within 3-5 days.

But if you don't want to go that route, then after you checked if it's possible to purchase both, that would be your only way to be able to access the current SB content as of right now. Don't make the mistake and buy the MSQ unlock before you're 60, since it opens a whole other can of problems lol

It's closer to, like, 100 quests, and it doesn't take all that long to get through them all.

Also I do know that they did say 1 potion per account, I am not sure if that was just for the job potion, or also includes the MSQ.

I'm pretty sure it's one of each of the two basic categories: one job level boost and one MSQ story jump.

It seems as though if you're going to use it at all, you'd want to use it early (either before level 15 if you're starting off with that potion, or else at whenever point you decide to stop questing your way through the main scenario). Since most dungeons are unlocked through MSQ, if you're getting those unlocks from the Tales of Adventure potion rather than normal questing, you wouldn't have access to any of them until you use it. It'd be a lot easier to level up if the content is unlocking as you reach the levels for it. What "other can of problems" comes with that?

So youve fought titan, some storyline(obviously redacted for spoilers) happened at the waking sands... youve probly heard that the ixali are summoning garuda, but fighting her will be easier said then done given your current situation. You are also interacting with Coerthans for the first time, and actually starting to set up the storyline for the main part of the Heavensward expansion. Yes, this is one of the valleys in the storyline. This valley lasts until roughly level 45. There are a couple of interesting/fun/hard solo instances, and a dungeon in the midst. But once you fight garuda, you immediately move into following up on that storyline from the waking sands and that goes straight on to the end of the ARR line. So a little lull, but one that passes fairly fast.
