What are your pre-launch plans and then Early Access priorities? So excited!

[DynnDiablos]

So, I thought it would be fun to share what everyone is doing in prep for ShB and what they plan to do for Early Access Weekend?

My Pre-Launch

1. Max Out Poetics, Mendicity and Genesis Tomes so I can purchase remaining i380 and i390 upgrades when everything converts to poetics.
2. Have Fantasia Ready for my Transformation into Viera

Early Access

1. Wake up at 2 AM EST in preparation for access to go live
2. Immediately use Fantasia and create my Viera
3. Get Dancer and Gunslinger unlocked (do we know where this happens yet? How do we find the job giver?)
4. Use the MSQ XP Bonuses and Roulette to get DNC to Level 70 first (yay XP earring)
5. Learn my new Machinist Rotation (I main MCH).
6. Hopefully, start the new MSQ as MCH or DNC (if I like it) and get to level 75 before official launch day (wishful thinking I know)

**Most important** Prepare for long queues, disconnects and general frustration :P

as a tip, use your fantasia before maintance, it wont dissapear on you dont worry. because afterwards youll be stuck in the 3k+ queue again

GUNBREAKER will start in Gridania, Dancer probably in Limsa, they've put too many things in Ul'dah already.

Pre-Launch: Finish getting enough moogle tomes for a white lanner. Leaving it for the last minute to see what I get in roulettes beforehand, then I can just grind out the rest in Syrcus Tower.

Launch: Dive right into the story before too many spoilers start circulating. Haven't decided what job to go with. Guess I'll see how I feel on Friday.

[Iscah]

Pre-launch: round off my moogle tome amounts and buy stuff. Get my alt through the last few 4.X patches. Groan at all the IRL stuff that has landed in my "absolutely must do this week" pile.

Launch: Straight into MSQ. May turn off FC chat and treat it as a single-player game... as much as I can through the horde of other players crowding out my quest objective.

(Though a little torn on whether I'd take the time to get my alt through 4.5 if I'm not there by launch day.)

[Barraind]

Prelaunch: Sleep

Early access: Watch the game crash Friday and Saturday. Give up and do bi-weekly DnD game saturday afternoon and evening. Watch a 12 hour patch on sunday/monday to "fix errors".

Launch: 80 on Paladin or Warrior and finish msq as fast as possible. 80 every crafter and gatherer and unlock books. Make $.

Before the update, suffer through some runs in Rabanastre and Ridorana for coins to upgrade some gear.

After the update, unlock Gunbreaker, get it to 70 to start going through Shadowbringers MSQ with it.

[Iscah]

Additional immediate priority: to the marketboard for glamours!

[Taramin]

Play MSQ until I hit The Raubahn of Darkness of this Expansion, then unlock and play around with DNC until they unfeck the bottleneck. Assuming the Server hamster doesn't croak first.

[RyuDragnier]

Already done with Pre-Launch.

Early Access, I'm going to bum rush the main story as DRK. Because everybody is doing Gunbreaker and Dancer, I need to quickly get to endgame so I can ride those glorious healer queues for a few weeks and max out the healers.
