It'd be great if it actually did end on a cliffhanger.

there is a lot to do if all you have done is msq. yes it left off in a cliffhanger, yes we will have to wait for shadowbringers.

Thanks.
Finally got access to the hunts (Major pain finding the required quests, but there's some decent gil from them.
Resuming leveling my mining (now 50)
Hildebrand? Haven't heard of it. Google - Sounds interesting, or will be if I can find where to start the chain.
I assume this is it: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...t/ee0ea475af7/

That's it - the first step is to talk to Wymond in the main street of Ul'dah, not far from the aetheryte plaza.

Enjoyment of the Hildibrand story is very dependent on your taste in humour, though. I'm not keen on it.

If you've only done MSQ, there's loads of other stuff for you to do.

8 man and 24 man raids.
Beast tribe quests.
Hildebrand.
Other job quests.
Eureka.

And they all have significant story content.

If you haven't already, make sure you do the Crystal Tower raids! The first quest is picked up in Revenant's Toll.

Did you do crystal tower side questline or any side questlines?

If you havent done crystal tower I highly suggest that as it is a crucial plot point for Shadowbringers.

This last patch felt short MSQ wise, I feel like I needed more :/ I was expecting more

The thing is, it's one thing to have a plot point, and using it, or else it's just world building information. Without the trailers and fanfests specifically telling us we'd be going to the First and become a warrior of darkness (the selling point of the expansion), we'd have no idea what ShB would be about, aside maybe fighting more Garleans...which....we spent all SB doing. If anything, it'd lead people to believe we're going to Garlemald instead.

Yeah, I agree. We don't have a lot of reason to trust the Enigmatic Guy, and right now it really does seem like the Garleans and Zenos are the most pressing issues. Yeah, the comatose Scions deal is a bummer, but the Garleans are the clear and present danger.

"You've taken the souls of my friends, and now you're telling me that I need to go to the First Shard? Minfilia's already on the job there, and even if I was nuts enough to trust you, if I DID go to the First Shard, the Garleans would make sure I have nothing left to return home to. No thanks."
