    Levelling seems messed up

    Sorry my first post here is a rant but I need to get this off my chest.
    I started the game a few weeks ago and have been thoroughly enjoying it until now.
    About 3 weeks ago I finished ARR and was looking forward to diving into Heavensward. However I'm now lvl 60 after nearly 3 weeks of wading through compulsory main story quests. Today I completed The Steps Of Faith and STILL, I am unable to access any Heavensward content, let alone Stormblood.

    It seems I'm stuck just doing reams upon reams of interminable filler quests. I'm sure I'll hit 70 before I even unlock Ishgard. It's F'ing ridiculous! I'm glad I found a good FC or I'd have sacked the game by now. This situation needs addressing I think, or people are going to simply abandon the game in frustration, as I have come close to doing this evening.

    What happens when you go to the GATEKEEP to start the Heavensword quests? He's in Coerthas Dragonhead if I remember right.

    Unfortunately, the devs have decided that buying a jump potion for real money is an adequate solution to the issue and will likely leave it at that while happily building more and more gates on top.

    You still have nine more quests to go. The final MSQ quest for ARR is Before the Dawn. The Steps of Faith is the final trial you have to do before moving on. I shared your frustration but you are almost there!

    There are about 100 filler quests between ARR and Heavensward if memory serves, and with the leveling bonuses that were offered on a few of the servers to help draw in folks, it will be more likely than not that you will be 70 well before you get into SB. Even without the Road to 60 its quick, but with it you just fly up. Not sure if that bonus applies to your case however.

    Unfortunately, the dev's "solution" is to charge you $18 to skip the fetchquests.

    If they ever go back and adjust Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium so the cutscenes no longer play during the run so the run can just be cleared, then there may be even a .01% chance they will cut some quests out of the MSQ from 2.x, but honestly even then I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were anyone wanting that.

    To be honest that's kinda what happens when you have registered further expansions before you actually access them. You gain the benefit of increased level cap but the multitude of quests in the filler patches cause you to level up much to quickly. Sure SE could limit the levels so that you cannot pass 50 if you are still on ARR content, but players with the expacs have paid for the benefit to keep getting levels, not to mention you have access to many different classes/jobs you could get the exp for on the side. Ok no one should be expected to have to level several jobs at the same time just to deal with this (especially if players only like one or two jobs) but the freedom is there and greatly encouraged.

    When i came back to the game after some years and created a new character, I just went through ARR on its on and didn't install HW until I was actually about to reach it in order to avoid such a leveling issue but I suppose it can vary for everyone but new players definitely will be catching up with a lot of content and regularly will feel over leveled.

    Yes, the filler quests are pretty terrible, but if you were focusing on your MSQ, you shouldn't have reached level 60. You should get to HW just before reaching level 52 if you were focusing on it.

    Really nothing to do but focus on the MSQ. That's probably your complaint, but that's how this game is set up. The entire game is locked behind MSQ.

    Was pretty bad, ended up biting the bullet and bought the story jump potion, those filler quests were too much for me.
