Expansion Preparation

[van_arn]

To prepare for Endwalker, I'm currently playing Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers which has a free trial that includ--

[Hysterior]

Quick questions for prep experts:

Because SE switched dates and I had holidays planned, I will miss the wgole start of the expansion.
I will be unable to play between the 3rd and the 13th.

Is there anything I can get ready now that I could use after the 13th? E.g. how long can I keep a wondrous tails?
If I pick it up after this Tuesday and complete it, can I give it back on the 13th?

Thanks!
(So sad to miss the whole early access and expansion start T_T)

I think you don't need to get lv 70 gear for reaper or sage because you'll get an attire coffer with the job quest, those are usually the same ilv as the highest ilv stuff for that level. The only thing you really need are accessories. Also if you're gonna level on bozja gear is irrelevant.

Sorry to hear that.

If you pick one up tomorrow, the 13th would be the last day to hand that one in so you could do that if you're able to play on the 13th, but only just.

Sadly things like challenge logs and custom deliveries prepped won't be viable for you but the bulk of the stuff on this thread isn't time sensitive so can still be of use to you.

To be specific, the weekly reset is midnight PST going into Tuesday 14 Dec, so unless you're in Alaska, Hawai'i, or one of the island nations in this side of the date line, you have all evening on the 13th to turn your book in and also still pick up next week's book (for the week of 07 Dec - 13 Dec) before the reset, so you don't have to miss any Wondrous Tails weeks.

I'm steeling my mind for the flood of ERPing, scantily dressed and cross-dressing male bunnies.

I am sure you get the Expansions starter crafted ilv when you get the attire. This was the case with all the new released jobs (Samurai/Red mage started with 115 ilv which is the equivalent of the 1st HW crafted set, Gunbreaker/Dancer got ilv255 = 1st crafted set in SB).
So we might get attire of ilv385 which is the 1st crafted set in ShB.

I don't know or paid attention if they showed anything on EW so I am just judging from past stuff

Seems likely so unless you really need your poetics after EW, there isn't really a reason not getting the i390 set.

Clear out my belt stuff.
Strip belts off my retainers.
Strip materia off belts.
Turn in belts for seals and buy more venture coins.
Sell belts that can't be turned in for seals.
Ponder if suspenders will replace belts to keep our pants up.
Regret not finishing all the things I was supposed to finish.
Regret not doing all the XP preparedness things others are doing.
Regret not getting to the next level in "x" job.
Obsess and ruminate over something.
