    Not best in slot, but you'll use it to bridge over to bahamut/crystal tower gear.

    -Didn't really do a lot of leveling, but at least unlocked Arcanist, lol. Got LTW/BOT/CRP/BSM leveled up a few levels though.

    -Sorted my inventory, pretty sure my stock-pile of striperstones and light kidney ores are all worthless now unless xivdb gets updated and shows them actually used for something.

    -Finished GSM Luminary(had 2400 synths left from both stage4/5) and got a bunch of progress done towards MIN luminary as well.(Shaaaaaarrrds!)

    -Made a few shinies for myself and got the new CP/GP rings/wrists and some new gear for MIN to tide over until AF.

    -Figured out mostly how crafting and Lv50* nodes work in ARR. (1hr+ respawns, wat)

    -Got all my class quests done for PUG/GSM/MIN/ARM/BSM, (forgot to do THM!) and beat Ifrit.

    -Got a handful of minions and did some nice sight-seeing across the realm.

    Definitely a good and productive experience, since it seems there were no game-breaking bugs/glitches that corrupted character data or gave a super advantage.

    No, but you'll probably need it to get Allagan gear / t2 tokens.

    Like Fievel says, DL/t1 tokens are probably going to be incredibly easy to get.

    EDIT: Slow

    I wanted to get a little more leveled on leatherworking and try to advance far enough to get to Ifrit bcnm, but other than that I was able to complete a huge chunk of what I wanted. PGL 12, LNC 18, ARC 20, all others are 8-9 through various methods of testing PL and the armoury bonus (With a 17+ main job plus the exp headpiece, you can level up to about 8-9 in roughly 10 minutes if you have a friend willing to cleave large pulls. Just find a nice gathering of level 9-10 mobs that you can use instant abilities to pull, preferably an AoE like Flash. Take Second Wind for an oh shit button. Our highest chain was 69.).

    Edit: Actually since we abused it for all we needed, the Mandragoras by the Dodos in one of the La Noscea areas is where we did it. We had an 18 Archer and 18 Arc (peepee carbuncle cleave). These two group up (Not needed, but hey) and then you can have the leveler out of group mass pulling and the two higher levels cleave it all. The leveler gets 100% exp even if they missed the attack as long as they have claim. Since we were capped, we really couldn't experiment with places to go beyond 10 super fast. Bonus of this area is the lack of items so you don't have 100000 items in your bags. Though this is a good method if you want to get some crafting items from other enemies.

    I just did main story and thm in uldah. Then did all the lv 20 quests for everything in grid/LL. Except for the botany one(moochin xp). And didn't do the lv 20 acn one since I'll do that on Saturday to mooch the xp off it. Really surprised how easy leveling is by just doing fates, hunting log and dungeons. Dungeons seem to kinda ruin DoH though. I mean you get xp AND good gear for your level for free. I see no reason in ever purchasing gear while leveling. Fishing kinda sucks though I have to admit, but the other DoL and all DoH seem a lot better than before. Mor Dhona was cool. But Coerthas kinda seemed... lacking. Cool zone but I was hoping for more than just one map, ie Northern Coerthas would have snow, southern would have grass.

    Looking forward to launch though my play time will be restricted. WHYYYYY must you ALWAYS launch games in LATE AUGUST!? Couldn't you at least do early August so I'd get a few weeks in before class starts again?

    They kept achievement progress? For some reason, I thought they said they were wiping all incomplete achievement progress.

    You buy or rerun dungeons for gear because you're trying to turn it into awesome materia.

    Since there's a 20 cap I can't really say much, but doing a dungeon run resulted in a level every time so... you'll be blowing through gear so fast why would materia even matter until you can wear the max tier?

    This. Also, the materia created would be of a lower quality and likely not too useful for later levels/levels above that gear's current level.. That's not to say if you do spiritbond you shouldn't use it.

    Got Arcanist from 1 -> 20
    Finished all the quests in Limsa area besides the Arcanist and main scenario quests. After I ran out of quests I did lots of fates to finish my Arcanist. I got the 90k bug on Friday so I was limited to Limsa area all weekend.

    They did keep it, though both values shrunk, last achievement is 4k crafts instead of the former 10k(?) for the rank 5 achievement. So people's progress shrunk accordingly.

    ARC - 19
    LTW - 20
    BTN - 20
    CNJ - 5

    I decided to stop the story missions right at Drybones since I didn't want to waste exp and wanted to run through that whole scenario with no story gaps. I was sort of hoping I'd get to play arcanist and level up lancer a bit but oh well. I'm just glad I finished Leatherworker and Botanist, I had a lot of fun and got to experience a lot of new things.

    I did GLD to 20, everything mission-wise except Ifrit I believe, and then CNJ to 10. Work and GF got in the way. Planned to play all Sunday but it was short lived.

    Gonna rush to PLD probably then debate what to do from there.

    Got my goals more or less done. Stopped after Coppermine on the Story because I hit 20 on my CNJ and didn't want to waste doing quests and not get exp for them.
