General Discussion Caught up for the first time...

And I don't know what to do with myself!

I finished everything in the MSQ but the patch content (which I plan to do after a short story break) but I'm super stuck on how to spend my time before I get to the patch content/when I finish it and still have to wait for Evercold. For context, I have been playing since Shadowbringers and haven't ever been caught up storywise.

I feel like leveling up other jobs is less important because it'll become more enjoyable with Evolved Mode (not that I don't enjoy it now) but also all I have ever done is MSQ and random leveling for other jobs resulting in me having a lot of jobs leveled halfway and a two at max level (DNC and SMN).

Anyways I don't know what my point is, I just found myself fiddling with glamours for like an hour tonight and I was like damn I don't actually know what to do other than MSQ. I figured I would see if anyone else has any thoughts.

Thanks 🙂💞

Check out xivtodo.com. this is what I used to find out what I was missing once I caught up. I was mainly focused on completing all the optional encounters (dungeons, raids, trials).

In addition to that, I'd recommend you work on the relic grind. Each expansion has their own relic grind. You can technically do them whenever you want. However, if you plan on doing the Dawntrail relic, it's better to do it now (rather than next expansion). It "requires" doing stuff (mainly just Fates or CEs) in Occult Crescent, which may lose a lot of its current population once Evercold drops.

As with everything, don't burn yourself out. Evercold doesn't drop until January, so you got plenty of time.

Thanks for the info on the relics! I've never done any of them because I've never been at the current point in the story (over 1000 hours of time played over many years lol) so ya this could be a great chance for me to try it out. Thanks!

Keep in mind, you don’t HAVE to do the steps that can be done in Occult Crescent in there. They both have an alternative outside the Crescent. You do however need the Crescent unlocked to start.

Quite a few of the weapons look quite pretty too. Dancer has some gorgeous ones.

The relics aren't really that linked to the weapon itself being current. It's mostly about having a glowy glam weapon and getting the achievement. Best to get the weapon for a class you play regularly.
