    Unlock all class skills to organize all my hotbars again > get back into my GC > unlock all teleports > queue as many quests as possible for the eventual ACN rush to 50. Rinse and repeat 2 more times for my other accounts as well. ._.

    Probably take care of the "housekeeping" since I really want to level Arcanist ----> Summoner, which won't be around until official release.

    1. Collect all the aether teleports

    2. I have all the DoH leveled, so I'll probably work on those class quests. I did the GSM this weekend, storyline was leagues above 1.0 story. Does anyone know if you can switch jobs and collect the EXP reward though? Maybe I'll get some of the DoW/DoM jobs I have left up to 15 with that?

    3. Mine

    4. Clean-up inventory, trade in cracked materia, toss/npc now useless/changed items, set up Armory, and hotbars

    5. Craft some nice low level armor to give away to new players

    When official release happens, I kind of just want to play ACN as if I'm a new player. I don't really want to zerg though. I just want to feel the feels.

    I have a feeling that you haven't played the beta yet.

    I always forget how long ago all of that went on.

    As for what I'll be doing, probably the same as some of the other Legacy players and level ACN early on to take advantage of the starter quest exp. I just don't think I'll enjoy the fact that everyone else will likely be doing the same. I've considered focusing on my crafts being that I have BOT and MIN at 50. However, it'll probably be worthless early on with an economy that will be a clusterfuck for the first month or so.

    Also, the BG shell on Gilgamesh sounds like it would be pretty awesome and if I wasn't so attached to my 1.0 character I would definitely being rolling anew there.

    Afaik for generic quests you can turn them in on any job that's close enough to the minimum level requirement (I'm pretty sure I was able to accept and complete quests slightly above my character level, idk what the range is tho).

    For class specific quests you can only complete them on the related class or you get the red locked/key icon above the NPC's head. (I didn't notice a way around this)

    Oh man, this drove me nuts over the weekend. I tried to enter my MRD5 class quest on WAR:

    "You cannot enter the instance for the following reason:"

    ...fucking what? I can't enter because why? Nothing is listed!! I complained in LS chat, then someone finally said "You have to be on MRD, dumbass."

    Well if you were to start from lvl 1 and follow the natural order of things this would never be an issue, but I too got confused as all hell by this (was trying to initiate the starting quest for gladiator on PLD).

    Same. It just isn't something that jumps to mind quickly when something isn't going right.

    Lancasters BG is not our BG but Ive spoken with him at length recently and we understand him and his group and have no intentions of trying to force him to stop using the name and he isnt trying to steal BG from us but he is not bluegartr.coms BG. Basically he is running a continuation of the BGWoW group that was a splinter from the original BG from wayyyyy back in early XI and BigKills stuff.

    We didnt have a good relationship with BGWoW for a VERY VERY long time due to the way they left the original XI group in a very bad state and really made keeping the forums difficult for a lot of people. The few of you left from the original theorderls.com will probably remember our FFXI discussions being just randomly locked or deleted or people outright banned for saying anything about the current staff there for the FFXI section which was all wow people who hated XI with a PASSION. Im really glad we have a much better relationship with their current generation and I look forward to hearing about their world firsts and all the crazy stuff they will be doing in XIV.

    I will be running a nice ultracasual shell along with a bunch of other people (welt, dole, ragns, and several good friends from BG FFXI) on GILGAMESH that will just be hanging out, leveling up, and doing whatever fun stuff we want to do, no pressure or anything. Everyone is welcome to join as long as you can follow the 5 rules of the shell. Ill be posting a thread about it pretty soon, outlining all this stuff again
    Wow all this time and I thought edwardtheblack was the original ls lead.

    Same issue for me. I was considering starting in Limsa Lominsa to get the jump on ACN, but with it being absent from Phase 4 that leaves me starting in Gridania yet again.

    Hopefully they'll have fixed the ferry by phase 4, you shouldn't be stuck on LL.

    Can't get back to your GC without doing a multitude of quests. It would be more logical to unlock ACN first then try to get back to your GC.

    ^ Still not seeing what the issue is though. ACN isn't going to be in phase 4 so it's either go forward and get my GC opened up or twiddle my thumbs till release. I'm not that concerned with losing the story quest exp to level ACN.

    Main story quests have the biggest EXP rewards. Are you saying you'd rather waste good exp on a capped job? That's an issue in itself. But hey, to each his own.

    Think he means he doesn't care to use it on ACN or another job that is not 50
