Thread: Patch 6.3 where to unlock content

The thing is, making it a video inherently contradicts the "basic info" aspect of itself.

If I want to know where to go, I want a list to consult quickly to find the thing I am after, not a video presented in linear order.

From a skim of the patch notes:


QUEST STARTING POINTS FOR 6.3

MSQ: speak to Varshahn at Meghaduta in Radz-at-Han.

Shadowed Pasts side story: after completing the MSQ chapter, speak to the Radiant scout at the Hall of the Radiant Host in Radz-at-Han, same room as the previous segment of this questline.

Myths of the Realm: speak to Deryk in Mor Dhona, southeast of Revenant's Toll.

Tataru's Grand Endeavour: speak to Mehdjina at Tataru's shop in Old Sharlayan; requires completion of the Four Lords questline.

Island Sanctuary expansion: speak to the Curious Courier on your island.
***Edit/correction: it seems that this must be the concluding rather than opening quest; it starts with a pseudo-quest that wasn't listed in the patch notes. Still at your cabin, though.***

Anden's Custom Deliveries: speak to the "supplicant sheep" at the Crystarium aetheryte plaza.

Also, can now swim and dive in the lake in upper La Noscea - teleport to Camp Bronze Lake.

not many will have time to pour out info with their Go GO gO mentality day 1.
so a bulletpointed list will do well here.

Maybe I am past that age but reading is much faster and convenient than a video for this kind of stuff. Vids can be useful to watch a fight for the visuals but other than that I prefer good written guides: apart speed, it's much easier to refer to them and it is possible to easily jump to the relevant/needed parts (goes with a lot of guides, not just gaming). Oh and there's no sound which means I can listen to something else.

A thousand times this. I can read and comprehend the information faster than a video can present it. Many videos are also poorly subtitled or not subtitled at all, making a read of the transcript futile. I can also search the patch notes for a term and have the information I want half a second after the page loads, which is much faster than I can scrub through a video for it. Iscah's post above is the right length for presenting a patch todo list: it contains the information with fairly concise wording and a compact format. And finally, it doesn't require going to some other site that I would already have been browsing instead of the official forums, if I wanted to get information from a site other than the official forums.
