New Player - Job Level Boost

[OmegaFluxx]

OK then, I'll persevere with it for now.

Thanks to everyone for the advice!

Does the MSQ get any more entertaining? Most of it seems to be go talk to this guy, then go talk to this guy. The fighting is few and far between.

Most of the opinions ive heard is that the story gets better and better as you go. This tends to start in earnest for most around patch 2.3/2.4 worth of story quests. It continues climbing through the dragonsong story which has a pretty nice payoff, and the current stormblood storyline is excellent. Good villians, clear motivation, some satisfying fights. You still have "do these 3 tasks to earn the trust of soandso" type quests, but the war-related story of stormblood does lend itself to a lot of skirmishes. Edit: Forgot to add this. While the story keeps getting better, it also loops back and references itself a decent amount. If you were to skip quest A, it wouldnt mean as much later on when you deal with event B.

And as Luna said, you can get the levels fairly quickly. But assuming you read fairly fast, the quests will fly by too. Tank gets short ques for all the dungeons and trials you must face, so if you play a normal amount i could see you being caught up a month from now.

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.

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 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?

Hi there!

I am a new player in FF XIV.

I understand that I have to buy the job level boost and the MSQ completion to get directly to Stormblood.

The question is: I have two characters. If I purchase these items for one of my characters, can I enjoy A Realm Reborn and Heavensword's story with the other charater?

I want to discover all the secrets of Eorzea, but I would like to join to my friends in Stormblood too.

Yes, you can. Get Tales of Adventure: Heavensward and Tales of Adventure: One <job> Journey, and give both of those to one of your characters. That character can start at 60 with Stormblood content where your friends are, while your other character starts at 1 and can go through the Realm Reborn and Heavensward storylines at your own pace.

Alright, fair enough. Thanks for the swift reply.

Question 2 then, if I buy the one for completion of the MSQ, does that unlock all associated duties from Realm Reborn and Heavensward? How long would it take me to level up my job to level 60?

I'm having fun with the group based stuff but the MSQ (for the most part) has been a little tedious so far.

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.

If i remember correct theres a book or something inside of the Inn and you can watch every cutscene from the MSQ

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?
