I’m a Legacy account holder with multiple level 50 jobs coming into ARR.
My job of choice is CNJ/WHM and my starting city of choice is Gridania. At the end of 1.0 my final save includes max Grand Company rank with Order of the Twin Adder and I am holding the maximum number of seals possible.
I plan to start ARR on my 1.0 character as CNJ because it suits me and my character. If CNJ wasn’t in Gridania, I honestly don’t know what I’d do. Actually, I would start in Gridania. No matter what.
My first priority is to do my CNJ class quests through 15 and then Main Story Quests thru Ifrit so that I can re-join Adder and join/form my FC. That means all that Main Story EXP is going to go onto my CNJ/WHM which is 50. Really, a complete waste of EXP, right?
-I could start in Limsa so that I can open up Arcanist and do my main scenario (at least up through the Ifrit fight) and apply all that EXP to Arcanist (which I do plan to level).
-Or, I could even start as LNC, right in Gridania, and not waste that Main Story EXP since my Lancer is Level 1.
I won’t be doing this, because I’m in a hurry to re-join my GC and then be able to join my FC. As for Arcanist, well I just in no way can bring myself to start in Limsa. Also, I just don't want to slug through quests leveling LNC when I just want to blow thru things on my CNJ to get to this point. Doing that I'd also have to probably do other quests just to be at the necessary levels to continue in the Main Story. When I do it on CNJ, there will be no waiting or having to hit other levels just to continue.
My question here is, what are you guys doing?
- Are you starting in your city of choice and sacrificing the class you would prefer to begin on?
- Are you starting on your class of choice even though it isn't in your preferred starting city?
- Starting on a new class wherever you have one, just so you don’t waste all that EXP? Will everyone be starting in Limsa as Arcanist? lol
- Something else?
- Also, do you think I'm nuts for doing it the way I plan to? lol
