Returning Player confused with repeating quest

[Enkidoh]

Eh, slightly facetious, due to an erroneous assumption that the 1.0 levels didn't carry over. Further reading indicates it may have.

They do - for 1.0 players all their past EXP, gear and levels and even their retainer are intact and carried across into ARR, assuming you select your old 1.0 character upon starting ARR for the first time (you're asked to redo aspects of character creation though, mostly to assign a starting class for ARR which then selects what city you start in). 1.0 characters only have to reattune to aetherytes and reestablish linkshells as those were not carried across.

And as I mentioned in my previous post class and Job quests have to be redone as they are completely new quests in most cases (only some of the Job quests are the same), so this is what the original poster is talking about, they were not aware ARR has new class quests from 1.0, although a 1.0 player can switch to whatever class they had EXP in in 1.0 right from the start they still have to do the class quests for their 'starting' class to level 10 which unlocks the Armoury System normally, and then have to go to each Guild in turn and sign up with them to unlock all other classes like a new player does for any classes they didn't level in 1.0, or for new classes (i.e., ACN, ROG).

Interestingly the class quest achievements are carried across though so if you gained that achievement in 1.0 ('This One Time, at Level Thirty-Six'), you will start ARR with them already attained - although this time it's 'This One Time, At Level Thirty', given the different level requirements for ARR class quests.
