Lvl 70 ninja jump: What happened to Aurum vale and The Sunken Temple of Q’uarn?

[Fayt1203]

Did they take the part where you have to go to Qarn to get that one stone thingy during post ARR right before the move to Mor Dhona already?

I expected or hoped for that to be part of there ARR slashing process but didnt realize it had already happened.

Qarn is strange because u need to go there for msq (last time i knew) but you don't unlock it through Msq, there is a Npc outside Waking Sands at Vesper Bay that give u the quest to unlock it

I want to say its post 2.0 like 2.2 maybe, if Qarn is MSQ required.

I was running on an alt character of mine I don't even have Braylox unlocked yet (just started titan quest on her) and I am level 52 and got Qarn, Aurum Vale, and Darkhold unlocked. Qarn I got from Vesper Bay. I may have grabbed AV from Horizon, but I also know its a GC required dungeon.

[Fynlar]

Qarn is MSQ required, but as pointed out, it technically unlocks through a sidequest so that's probably why you aren't seeing it.

Wouldn't surprise me if Titan hard also received the same treatment.

I'm pretty sure the one time I boosted a character, it unlocked Aurum Vale automatically.

Also the unlock quests for AV and Darkhold are kind of weird because there are actually two separate unlock sidequests from different sources - one from the GC and one "in the wild" from another NPC.

when people use msq boost it will unlock all the dungeon but not when people use the job jump boost. Used job skip myself on alt 3 days ago and no dungeons were unlocked.

[LaylaTsarra]

I've done many skips and they've always been on my dungeon list. No clue why they aren't for you.

Edit: Oh is't a job boost and not a main story one that's why.

[DPZ2]

The fun thing about that job boost is that, once you've gotten the quests that unlock them out of the way, you can do them un-sync'd and have access to all your job skills.

The not-so-fun thing is that you still have 20-some levels to get to level 70 MSQ content. It's do-able, but I'd recommend going through Heavensward as either Samurai or Red Mage (which start at 50) and going through Stormblood as Dancer or Gunbreaker (which become available at level 60). You could also consider Astrologian, Dark Knight or Machinist for Heavensward content, but it'll take a bit more time to get them to level 50...

[Morningstar1337]

I suppose it might be worth asking this I boosted my one and only character form 60 to 70 for reasons largely related with returning from a hiatus and I noticed that some dungeons remain locked (the ones unlocked by the Four Lords sidequests)...however HM dungeons which were also optional as well as Shushi of the Violet tides (I think that's also an optional dungeon) were unlocked.

I wondering why those dungeons were unlocked while other ones like Hell's Lids, Swallow's, Vale, Qarn, and presumably, Cutter's, Darkhold and Dusk Vigil weren't (FTR I unlocked those before the boost)?

[TheMightyMollusk]

Does the story skip unlock flying? Shisui of the Violet Tides has an aether current tied to its quest chain (as does Dusk Vigil in Heavensward), so if the skip unlocks flying, it may have to auto-complete the quest to do so.

It odes, but that seems odds because while it does unlock the Aether current,s the quests they are usually tied to aren't flagged as cleared. (AFIAK)
