Everyone LOL at me

[jwilliam87]

I just did the dumbest thing I think I have ever done in any game.

I made a character on a server doing the Road to 80 xp boost.

I have put in over 30+ hours leveling all the core jobs to at least 30. Even the crafting/gathering ones.

Spend and made a few hundred thousand gil buying and selling stuff on the market board.

Progressed up to lvl 32 quests on the MSQ, so tons of prime double xp from the MSQ to go. I could easily get many jobs to at least 80 with just that.

Then, I decided to buy a boost straight to Endwalker.

I just paid $25 USD to take away tons of xp from myself, since I now lost all that MSQ because of the skip, and I can't even do any MSQ until I get to lvl 80, which negates the xp boost.

And my highest job is lvl 43, so I can't even do Endwalker now, and boosting now made it harder for me to even get there.

I have no idea what I was thinking...

And I hate to be that guy, but why does SQ even let you boost a character that has no lvl 80+ jobs?

It really makes no sense to let someone do that. I bought a boost I can't even use, and it takes away a huge resource to help me get there.

And it would have saved me from myself LOL

I am so incredibly depressed now...

If it makes you feel any better I've spent 25 dollars on much dumber things.

Rest in Peace

I don't even care about the money.

It's the total waste of time, since I worked on that character so much, and now I don't want to play it since I gimped it so hard.

You still have the Road to 80 boost and dungeon EXP is still doubled. Queue for some dungeons (daily roulette + highest available) and work through your class quests while you wait to get in.

SE lets you skip the story without an 80 character available because if you want to level independently of the story, it's much easier to do it post-story-skip with all the dungeons unlocked. (That and/or they hope you'll buy a job boost as well. But still. It's easier with more dungeons.)

Pursue some side stories while you're at it. Alexander at level 60 (from Idyllshire) and Omega at 70 (from Rhalgr's Reach) are worthwhile, particularly Omega. Also the Binding Coil at 50 but you can't easily do that synched to get EXP from it.

Thank you for the suggestions.

I put in a support ticket.

I am really hoping they will undo the skip, and place the item back in my inventory.

This is giving me anxiety attacks.

the page does warn you.

Chances of that happening are pretty low.

If you were on Aether I would pocket heal you through those dungeons until level 80.

Some players dislike story-based progression and would rather grind dungeons/PoTD/etc. to get to level cap.

You're not without options to continue leveling. You just can't do it via MSQ.

Well excuse me as i pat you with one hand, take sippety wippety off your tears with the other and try to contain my snickering. They let you do it because if there is no consequence then you won't learn.
