Returning after over 3 years.

Welcome back! While leves are a good option i would rather use Ishgard Restoration like others have said. The Xp is so very good, you must gather items as well but next month's patch gathering is supposed to be part of it.
So you will be able to level your gatherers while levelling your crafters. I hate fishing but will take advantage of it next month

So I had a whole lot of story to do before Ishgard restoration or new levee. Just quick synthing materials has gotten most of my DoH to 74. I haven't gotten back into collectibles yet, as I really am relearning all my DoW/M classes to advance the storyline. I am on a slow server in that regard.

So my progress has slowed, but I am making money this way instead of burning through my reserves from years ago. It took a long time to sort my inventory and find out what was no longer worth selling. But the gear gained doing those levee to 70 was actually worth selling at least.

So thanks for the advice, I will get to Ishgard restoration this weekend as long as the DF doesn't let me down.

Welcome back !

Nice thing is that at moment when you get 80 full white hq with 1-2 melds (8's/6's) are sufficient to scrape into facet gear crafts and you will get 80% hq on base resources and 75%+ afterwards if still nq, otherwise 100%
