    Well, this is more of a question for people who played the old XIV, which I didn't follow. Unless recipes and craft types change drastically, I'd think they would be similar. Sure crafting is a lot better and more fun but at the end of the day, (and correct me if I'm wrong) someone who crafts rings is still crafting rings and the general economy for that would be similar.

    I'll move my edit here, since you caught that reply so quick:

    If 1.0 is any indication, ARM/GSM/WVR made the most money (I think?) through HQ synths and/or spiritbonding garbage gear. Food wasn't terribly important in 1.0 because of how they fucked it up at launch, but hopefully that changes. Arrows are gone (now unlimited), so if you were thinking steady income for WW because of those, you're sorely mistaken.

    I look forward to seeing the new economical opportunities that arise with personal housing, since WW was my original craft...

    I noticed that they added jobs now? Got into the beta, going to try it out next time the servers are up. Are they just gradually adding in all of XI's jobs? God I want to play SAM again and will totally be going MNK starting out again. Also hoping for some BLU being added.

    I don't think jobs are going to be available until Phase 4 of the beta (next month). Also, I doubt they're explicitly pulling from XI for jobs.

    Jobs are unlocked at level 30, share their level with their respective class, etc.

    I'm really hoping and looking forward to a non-blood tank. I don't think they'll make it NIN this time, but SAM or Fencer or Mystic Knight might fill that role.

    Maybe, reason I think this is mainly because of Scholar. Can't recall a Scholar job in any FF other than XI. Could be wrong, unless SCH was supposed to be Calculator or something.

    I got a surgical consult Thursday, hopefully when they schedule my surgery it won't conflict with this.

    Spoiler: show
    Totally got my priorities straight.

    Best way for a 1.0 player (ce owner) to gain access to head start? Can you get a code from Amazon and cancel?

    Some people are trying this, but you apparently can't register the code yet, so nobody knows for sure.

    Data is saved from Beta Phase 4, so that could suffice. Early Access is only going to be 1~3 days.

    I wouldn't do that if I were you. You know they've banned for less. Besides, with phase 4 carrying over the head start isn't as big of a benefit as you might think, esp. since it's been mentioned elsewhere that it's likely only going to be a few days to a week.

    I was under the impression that the only duration given for anything related to early access was regarding the gap between the end of phase 4 and the start of early access, which was "one...two...three days".

    Ah, that is possible. I don't remember where the information came from. Either way, I do not expect "Early Access" to be very long.

    I saw a post somewhere that said head start was going to be 4 days long, but can't remember the source so can't comment on how reliable it would be.

    Either way, as was said, the head start will be nice, but with Phase 4 carrying over it won't be anything too crazy.
