I have tried to get through the 2.x story line so many times since 2013. Each time it gets too tedious for me and I leave for months or years.

Last time round (just pre the gender locked races) I boosted past it into HW, but I lost too much of the story.

Now back, and I decided to try again, and reroll with a fresh character, this time no story boosting.

But 45 on my latest attempt (gatherers are now 59, and crafters are over 54) and I'm in Mor Dhona and ugh, more deliveries.

Again, I can't take much more. I only ever seem to be fetching half of Eorzia the ingredients they need to make a burger. I should be the warrior of light, not a Uber delivery bikerider.
