Questions about legacy players at 2.0 launch

[The Stig]

A bit random and probably not worth a thread but I'm curious... so I had a moment to reflect about the game and one thing I never really asked or saw discussed:

1. Did Legacy players begin 2.0 at level 50 (for whatever classes/crafting jobs they had during lauch)
2. If so, does that mean they plowed through the MSQ at level 50?
3. What of the class/crafting class quests? If they were 50 beforehand did they need to redo/unlock stuff?
4. Was the above the reason why most if not all people played Arcanist at 2.0 launch? I recall seeing a screenshot with 100~ carbuncles

1. if you leveled them to 50 pre 2.0 yes they are 50 in 2.0
2. kinda, lvl sync still sucked
3. u have to re-do quests for the abilities(holy shit i actually forgot if i got skills at launch... you have them all in Beta tho even w/o doing job/class quests)
4. yes

i'll add no.5 for you
5. ishgard will be full of vincents/Donkey kongs/astroboys

1. Yes
2. Yes, unless they did ACN/SCH/SMN (which was the only new job) so they didn't waste quest exp.
3. Yes, all class/job specific quests had to be redone for each job. WHM, PLD, CUL, ALC, etc.
4. Mostly likely, yes. Although the duty finder servers were such a mess at launch, it's hard to say specifically from my experience.

Ah thank you thank you both.

i am more offended that Dankey Kang is misspelled.

We needed to do the class quests to unlock the 2 skills that we get at 15 and 30. We kept all the job abilities from 1.0 though however, we still needed to re-do the quests to be able to unlock the relic weapon quest for that specific job.

Aside, doing WHM50 quest when you have Bene already is super cheating.

[Raldo]

I particularly got a giggle out of getting those CARPENTER UNLOCKED when I'm sitting there at 50 with my luminary tool.

The worst part of redoing the quests was it being obnoxious being given a second set of relic gear because iirc it didn't let you toss it? So if you did the quest without the previous piece in your inventory, you ended up stuck with 2.

I thought the quests just didn't give you the relic armor if you already had it equipped/in your inventory.
At least, I don't think I have two sets of DRG AF sitting around.

They only worked as intended if you had the armor equipped / in armory chest / in inventory. If your AF was on a retainer or in the Armoire, you would wind up with two copies of whichever pieces which you couldn't throw out.

Oh, reading fail on my part there, didn't see the "without it in your inventory" initially.
