Greetings all,

I'm about to ask some n00b questions about Grand Company quests, but please take pity on me and help me out. I'm going to try to grind through all of the GC quests so I don't miss out on the storyline before they shut down the servers for 2.0.

I've decided which company I want to join, and am first looking for reassurance that I can help and be helped by members of other Grand Companies in the various quests. Is that possible, or are all quests GC specific?

The quests for Imperial Devices. Can/should all 3 of them be done, or can/should I only do the one for the GC I plan to join?

Same question for the quests Into the Dark. Can/should all 3 of them be done?

If all 3 of the above quests can be done, does this need to be completed before I join up with only one Grand Company (while I'm still a Recruit)?

In your opinion, will it be possible for me to get pick up groups and be able to complete all of the storyline quests needed to get the Durandal Horn in the next month and a half?
