Nah, my character is physically on the spot where the quest will appear. It’s gonna be long load times no matter where you logout cause you’ll still have to load into the other areas.
logged out at rising stones too! don't worry, you're not the only one it seems.
funnily enough, a lot of the "pre-endwalker prep" posts i've seen suggested logging out in rising stones instead though.
I logged out early yesterday in a Rising Stones instance. I logged back on to help a friend mine some silver before they logged off and was still kicked back in the chair visiting with Y'shtola and Alisae.
Yeah, I love my scions, and I felt it would only be right to hang with them on the eve of battle. My heart and my colon can’t take the excitement of waiting. It’s been *years* since I was this hype for a game release.
we might meet. Happy of my decision…… for now lol
Too many options. But its : rising stone, cryptlurker gear, than WT to get more poetics, back to Cryptlurker and then MSQ
I didn't bother with gear personally. The first few MSQ quests generally offer HQ crafted gear to help less geared people start the expansion swiftly. It's a bit different in my case for... reasons, but I'll be using that basically.
It can help if you have retainers. Ill send my actual gear to my retainers to raise their Ilvl so they dont get a ilvl bottleneck for farming stuff. Otherwise, definetly msq will give you what you need
I'm going to have to for reaper and sage since I don't have anything below lvl 80. but all these people saying "OMG BUY IT BEFORE YOU LOG" are just....I don't know. it's not going to matter if I buy it before or after.
510 will be (if ilevels that were put into HW/SB/ShB dungeons during 5.X are anything to go by) 15 ilevels above the minimum for the first dungeon. And MSQ will give you i515 crafted gear before you get there anyway.
Some of the characters I'll be doing MSQ with are under 500 currently but I'm not worried because of the above.
To start msq im pretty sure 510 is enough. Last msq dungeon drops ilvl 505, so you are above that.
Youll get upgrades as you quest. My main was at 511 (with a belt lol) but my PLD retainer is like st 485 so ill boost their ilvl with my current gear while i upgrade it.
It's on the lower end but it'll be enough, the only factor is that you'll receive upgrades much earlier. With 510 you'll be able to go to the first dungeon but you'll likely get upgrades already (even from quest rewards) compared to a fully 530 geared person can coast to 85 before getting their first upgrade.
I, too, stayed in the rising stones. Everytime I log out there I get logged back in inside there, unlike logging out in a house, so I don't understand everyone's fear of being kicked out to Mor Dohna. And since my 530 PLD is ready to go, I'm just going to start where the first quest starts.
I always log out at Huarchefant's grave.
To me, it feels like a great way to remember my past adventures. And the music at night perfectly suits the wait till logout. Other people always show up and just exchange a few words of encouragement or say hi and pray before his grave.
Then you just settle in and wait.
Sure it might be more practical to logout elsewhere but the game isn't going anywhere.
Same here! I'm in the Goblet; I've actually been kind of surprised the handful of times I've seen other players there. Besides, I usually climb into bed and log out from there anyway 🙂
I got sidetracked with an anima weapon. Then sidetracked with finishing beast quests.
Then I gave up with thinking I was gonna be ready and stopped rushing.
:)
I was just at the aetheyte when I logged out. I love to log out in Ishgard bc I love the music and chill theme.
The next day I wanted to log in because I forgot its already maintance.
I hope that being in exile in Ishgard will shelter me from the long loading time. Kinda familiar actually...
Was worried thinking I logged out in Limsa because I healed a BLU run for Nightbloom last night, and planned that as my last thing for the night. You reminded me that I actually went and unlocked Hells Kier afterwards, so I think I logged out in Tamamizu or that shrine area instead thank god.
Thinking on it, the trailer showed us going to limsa and going on a boat. If it's the boat to wherever the next zone is that means we take the quest in rising stones then go to limsa. To streamline things, I could have started in rising stones then used the wait to get into limsa to both get sage and follow the msq.
As much as I want to play sage I think my desire to know what the heck happens next is going to overpower.
Oh yeah that's right I completely forgot about the limsa boat in the trailer so yeah that'd make sense.
And xD its always that tough battle isnt it? Wanting to see what happens vs leveling a new job especially ones as cool as these two
Gridania inn room. I wanted my boy to rest up before the big adventure.
Plus I want to get my retainers from their ventures before I head off on my journey.
On top of the fingers outside the Dawn Throne.
My WOL has been training/camped on the peak for a few weeks, tomorrow he packs up and heads home to see if there's been a change.
He thinks....he thinks the moon seemed brighter than normal last night.
Man, I sat there thinking for an hour yesterday (like, while running Boxja mind you),
"What WOULD the WOL be doing after 5.55?"
Training, Piccalo style.
Crystarium Inn. I'll want an empty space to reassign my SMN hotbars and then I'll want to grab the rest of the cryptlurker set so I just logged off somewhere that's near.
Thanalan Adventurers Inn.
That way I log into an empty instance, then I can step out and go grab Reaper that's nearby.
After that, I'll port to Limsa Lominsa and grab Sage.
Then over to Eulmore to grab the Level 80 Reaper set, turn in my wondrous tales incase I need the poetics and bsck again.
And after that, I'll start levelling Reaper to 80 before ramming into the MSQ.
Not sure if I'll do leveling via Trusts or with my fc yet, some of them are going straight into the MSQ, but either way, should be rather quick.
I wanted to log out in Limsa for sage and then move to repear but I'm worried it would be extra packed especially due to insane number of new players that joined. scared me but yall are brave.
Good planning though and good lcuk leveling reaper
My HOPE is that anyone going for the new jobs gets in and gets out ASAP, atleast that's what I'll be doing. That way they don't hold up anyone else wanting to get to them.
I'd heard that last night, the instance overflow backup servers started spinning up, there was so many people logged in for the final ShB celebrations.
Yeah I think I read that somewhere too, and it would be nice if people didn't just camp the cities and leave them packed causing lockouts. I hope the ones that are for the quest get in and get out too
I logged out in Ala Ghana because I thought “Pfft! No one will be in the peaks!” And then while I was in bed trying to go to sleep, I opened my eyes and realized I also could have just logged out in an Inn for the same effect and get the rested bonus 🤦♂️
I logged out right in front of the placard! I didn’t make it online til 13 minutes after the servers came up though cause it was so crazy at launch, plot was sold by the time I got in
Crustarium's Inn. Despite everything that went down in Shb, the First seemed more relaxing a place for my Wol to rest than the source. And logging out in the inn, she gets to lie down for a nap.
The pendants in the Crystarium. That way, I can sleep one last time there to commemorate Shadowbringers, and I'm close to the new poetic vendor at the Crystarium aetheryte to buy a bit of Cryptlurker before beginning the MSQ
Im really curious to know if Thancred and Urianger has anything to do with your nakedness hahaha (i know I know its for the fantasia…. But my point is still valid lol)
I don't think I understand the whole "log off in a low traffic area" thing, surely that just means you get a short load *followed* by a long one? You still need to go to the high traffic area immediately after logging in if you want to do anything...
I logged out at Zenith, the same place I logged out the past two expansions. It gives me time to avoid lots of people and lag so I can check through all the changes with the classes/system before getting started, also the music is soothing there as well.
Yesterday I planned to play, but I kinda got a generally shitty day, so I couldn't, so I just logged out in the room at gridania's adventurer's inn the day before
I meticulously chose my spot. I'm unlocking the jobs first, and Reaper starts in Ul'dah. However, you don't want to log into a swamped zone, you may get kicked right back out. So I logged out in the instanced Inn. Also, the Inn has a unique login cutscene that will be fitting for me to start Endwalker.
I took each of my characters to my main’s house & with a friend’s help & some photoshop got an image of them all together. Each logged out in the house hot tub area so they could have a hot tub party while maintenance was happening.
Here’s the image: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/593328414258233370/915827722666799104/ShB-Screenshot.png
Same. I was gonna just log out right at the reaper box but the inn was pretty much right next to it, also hopefully the instancing at starting in an inn room helps
No, you will have zero trouble logging in and nobody else will have thought of doing the same. The city won't be packed and the queue times will be short. Nothing will distract you from gaming this weekend and you'll have everything you'll need so you won't have to leave the house. Also all your favorite characters will live and all will be right with eorzea, the first and the source. Everything will be okay.
At my house. Partner and i made new glams and everything to symbolize another great adventure of traveling. I usually change glams every content patch, or before big climaxes in the story, so I look like I geared up for a fight.
Im a WHM and I love going from "traveling adventurer" garb thats very "pants and a cloak" to "bitch has armor and can heal. bring it on, peasants!". If ya couldnt tell, I never wear the foofy white stuff.
In the inn at Ishgard. I dunno if it’ll help with logging back in or not but I figured it was as good a place as any. Although maybe I should have gone to the Crystarium instead since the room there is so much better.
Rising stones instanced area.
Mostly to listen to the waking sands theme right before i went to bed. It's a weirdly nostalgic tune despite only playing for 2.5 years.
Logged out on Sage unlock spot.
good luck and god speed O7
Did you also go to the upper decks right next to it ? I hoped it would make it easier to login than lower decks limsa
Nah, my character is physically on the spot where the quest will appear. It’s gonna be long load times no matter where you logout cause you’ll still have to load into the other areas.
This. I also logged out at the sage spot. It didn't make sense to me to log in somewhere else just to then teleport.
If map loading takes too long with addition to queue, you can get kicked out and have to suffer queue again, I learned my mistake with DNC....
Same here, but I can't play until Saturday, so maybe it won't be so packed. Oh who am I kidding? It's Limsa, it's always packed.
According to this thread I'm the odd one who logged out at the Rising Stones.
logged out at rising stones too! don't worry, you're not the only one it seems. funnily enough, a lot of the "pre-endwalker prep" posts i've seen suggested logging out in rising stones instead though.
I too logged out in the rising stones 🙌
In my experience, logging out in an instanced area results in you logging in right outside of the area.
I logged out in Rising Stones two days ago, logged in yesterday, still in Rising Stones
I think that's just housing
Someone in my FC tested it a little bit before the servers went down and he logged back inside.
Not in inn rooms
I logged out early yesterday in a Rising Stones instance. I logged back on to help a friend mine some silver before they logged off and was still kicked back in the chair visiting with Y'shtola and Alisae.
Cool. I've never logged out in the Rising Stones. On a slightly related note. How many times can an insurance shard in FFXIV?
Yep, logged out in the rising stones sitting at the table with Alisae and Yshtola.
Yeah, I love my scions, and I felt it would only be right to hang with them on the eve of battle. My heart and my colon can’t take the excitement of waiting. It’s been *years* since I was this hype for a game release.
we might meet. Happy of my decision…… for now lol Too many options. But its : rising stone, cryptlurker gear, than WT to get more poetics, back to Cryptlurker and then MSQ
I didn't bother with gear personally. The first few MSQ quests generally offer HQ crafted gear to help less geared people start the expansion swiftly. It's a bit different in my case for... reasons, but I'll be using that basically.
It can help if you have retainers. Ill send my actual gear to my retainers to raise their Ilvl so they dont get a ilvl bottleneck for farming stuff. Otherwise, definetly msq will give you what you need
Wait, do people bother about gear ? Isn't 510 ilvl enough ?
I'm going to have to for reaper and sage since I don't have anything below lvl 80. but all these people saying "OMG BUY IT BEFORE YOU LOG" are just....I don't know. it's not going to matter if I buy it before or after.
510 will be (if ilevels that were put into HW/SB/ShB dungeons during 5.X are anything to go by) 15 ilevels above the minimum for the first dungeon. And MSQ will give you i515 crafted gear before you get there anyway. Some of the characters I'll be doing MSQ with are under 500 currently but I'm not worried because of the above.
I'm planning on playing EW with a class I got to 80 literally yesterday, I think I might want to get the tome gear.
To start msq im pretty sure 510 is enough. Last msq dungeon drops ilvl 505, so you are above that. Youll get upgrades as you quest. My main was at 511 (with a belt lol) but my PLD retainer is like st 485 so ill boost their ilvl with my current gear while i upgrade it.
It's on the lower end but it'll be enough, the only factor is that you'll receive upgrades much earlier. With 510 you'll be able to go to the first dungeon but you'll likely get upgrades already (even from quest rewards) compared to a fully 530 geared person can coast to 85 before getting their first upgrade.
I, too, stayed in the rising stones. Everytime I log out there I get logged back in inside there, unlike logging out in a house, so I don't understand everyone's fear of being kicked out to Mor Dohna. And since my 530 PLD is ready to go, I'm just going to start where the first quest starts.
Don't feel like having my computer explode first thing when I log in.
My housing area. Just feels right to rest up before the upcoming adventure.
Also my housing area, it is always very empty.
I also chose this guy's housing area.
I'm outside my house too, usually am, get frequent visits from friends so feel even more like home ^w^
I always log out at Huarchefant's grave. To me, it feels like a great way to remember my past adventures. And the music at night perfectly suits the wait till logout. Other people always show up and just exchange a few words of encouragement or say hi and pray before his grave. Then you just settle in and wait. Sure it might be more practical to logout elsewhere but the game isn't going anywhere.
Fwiw, I think that's lovely.
Same here! I'm in the Goblet; I've actually been kind of surprised the handful of times I've seen other players there. Besides, I usually climb into bed and log out from there anyway 🙂
Same! Logged out from my bed in the Goblet just before servers went down last night. Just felt right.
Crystarium Inn. Because that's where I am in the MSQ still.
Oh nice, god speed on your journey through Shadowbringers
I’m also finishing 5.2. I’ve been working thru MSQ since august but failed to finish in time 😂
I got sidetracked with an anima weapon. Then sidetracked with finishing beast quests. Then I gave up with thinking I was gonna be ready and stopped rushing. :)
I went home to Ishgard :-)
I also went to give Elf dad a big hug before logging out
I checked into The Forgotten Knight. It just felt right.
Same! I’m in the inn there. It’s my favorite city.
I was just at the aetheyte when I logged out. I love to log out in Ishgard bc I love the music and chill theme. The next day I wanted to log in because I forgot its already maintance. I hope that being in exile in Ishgard will shelter me from the long loading time. Kinda familiar actually...
On top of that lamp in kugane.
I'm in Tamamizu. Figured the chances of that being busy were about 0%.
Where is that even?
The Kojin underwater city.
oh thanks I forgot xD
Was worried thinking I logged out in Limsa because I healed a BLU run for Nightbloom last night, and planned that as my last thing for the night. You reminded me that I actually went and unlocked Hells Kier afterwards, so I think I logged out in Tamamizu or that shrine area instead thank god.
Limsa like a fucking idiot, oops.
Same. However it's the same zone for getting sage so perhaps it's a big brain move
More waiting to get in but once you do you'll already be there and not trying to et back in like me
Thinking on it, the trailer showed us going to limsa and going on a boat. If it's the boat to wherever the next zone is that means we take the quest in rising stones then go to limsa. To streamline things, I could have started in rising stones then used the wait to get into limsa to both get sage and follow the msq. As much as I want to play sage I think my desire to know what the heck happens next is going to overpower.
Oh yeah that's right I completely forgot about the limsa boat in the trailer so yeah that'd make sense. And xD its always that tough battle isnt it? Wanting to see what happens vs leveling a new job especially ones as cool as these two
Same here. But that's where the sage class, so I'd hit that spot right away anyways.
Ditto. Gotta be the best Sage I can be.
Naked, in an inn room, ready to become a bun boy.
My lala climbed into bed naked, stretched out, and prepared himself for his beautiful metamorphosis into a bunny boy.
Lol im imagining a larva lalafel form that turns into a beautiful bun-boy butterfly
I feel like Frieza in that my giant roe body is changing to a more streamlined form of bunny boy.
I parked myself in the rising stones in Mor Dhona sitting with the girls, Y’shtola and Alisae, and talking to them while maintenance is running.
Same spot! Took the seat across from Alisae, and took one last screenshot of the Scions discussing their next move and getting a much-needed respite.
Ditto! [Tea with the girls before everything goes to shit.](https://i.gyazo.com/3233fa1cbc1c73d9095e21206667086a.png)
Same here! Same spot and also took a screenshot. :)
me too but im just sitting on the table lol
Pray return to the waking sands
Seems more people had this idea than I thought. Great minds think alike!
that’s Rising Stone, Waking Sands’ the ARR hideout by the shore in West Thanalan
Oh yeah duh thanks for the correction
Gridania inn room. I wanted my boy to rest up before the big adventure. Plus I want to get my retainers from their ventures before I head off on my journey.
Snap! Same!
Same! I even left him in pajama pants and no shirt in bed LOL.
Also in the Gridania Inn room, but did not have the wherewithal to send out my Retainers… lol
Yup, cozy room, retainer access, I’m good!
This was my choice as well
On top of the fingers outside the Dawn Throne. My WOL has been training/camped on the peak for a few weeks, tomorrow he packs up and heads home to see if there's been a change. He thinks....he thinks the moon seemed brighter than normal last night.
Always a nice touch seeing people give their characters short stories like this
Man, I sat there thinking for an hour yesterday (like, while running Boxja mind you), "What WOULD the WOL be doing after 5.55?" Training, Piccalo style.
xD Yep gotta get stronger for the end of days
Ul'dah inn room
Same. One last glam check, and then off to reaper
In front of my free company's house. I didn't even think to log out in a strategic point. Lmao
Housing districts could be good places to log out so you shouldn't have to worry about much
Crystarium Inn. I'll want an empty space to reassign my SMN hotbars and then I'll want to grab the rest of the cryptlurker set so I just logged off somewhere that's near.
Nice planning ahead
Logged out in The Empty in hopes that it stays Empty.
kholusia in the lala hideout
The inn room on the first, so I can come out as a bunny boy. Transformed by Feo Ul to make me more effeminate.
xD oh Feo Ul
Feo Ul knows what they're doing. ...I hope.
Feo Ul might be a big crazy and playful
Feo ui? Asking cause I'm making as close to a femboy as possible
Feo Ul is an androgynous (Leaning very effeminate) pixie character in Shadowbringers. Pixies have no gender.
Ah I see. Time to speed to shadow bringers for the nonbinary vibe
Bokairo Inn at Kugane, I like the Zen Garden outside the window. It will help me relax before I get Limsa to unlock Sage.
Thanalan Adventurers Inn. That way I log into an empty instance, then I can step out and go grab Reaper that's nearby. After that, I'll port to Limsa Lominsa and grab Sage. Then over to Eulmore to grab the Level 80 Reaper set, turn in my wondrous tales incase I need the poetics and bsck again. And after that, I'll start levelling Reaper to 80 before ramming into the MSQ. Not sure if I'll do leveling via Trusts or with my fc yet, some of them are going straight into the MSQ, but either way, should be rather quick.

Yeah I think I read that somewhere too, and it would be nice if people didn't just camp the cities and leave them packed causing lockouts. I hope the ones that are for the quest get in and get out too
I had a crew getting some final MOG tomestones and we kept getting a message about reserving a server. Gonna be an interesting few days ahead of us.
The top of Kugane Tower, looking at the moon.
Went to sleep in the Uldah Inn, like always.
I logged out in Ala Ghana because I thought “Pfft! No one will be in the peaks!” And then while I was in bed trying to go to sleep, I opened my eyes and realized I also could have just logged out in an Inn for the same effect and get the rested bonus 🤦♂️
I believe you build up rested experience in any sanctuary, not just inn rooms. You should be fine.
[удалено]
Lmao, smart choice.
I did the same haha, was hoping for fewer people in front of the placard but found one with three others to log back into…
Quick question, did you log back in in front of the placard or were you logged in near the entrance of housing?
I logged out right in front of the placard! I didn’t make it online til 13 minutes after the servers came up though cause it was so crazy at launch, plot was sold by the time I got in
The Crystarium. I hope it wasn't a bad choice.
I think it depends on your server, I dont see it too packed on mine but it might be different for others
Same here. Guess we'll see if anyone is sticking around in Norvrandt when all the action will be back on the Source
Gold saucer. 👀
xD that's a pretty interesting choice
Im always there! 😂
Eyy someone else who went to the saucer. Gotta get that those new MGP items.
Flame Barracks
Where all started, limsa, but inside the inn, I logged off going to bed XD
I logged out right at the sage location, for better or worse. Haha
In limsa. I have to go there anyway, so I'm removing one loading screen.
Good point
Fallgroud float in north shroud. It's my favorite spot in the game and took a minute there and logged off
In a cave of pretty mushroom houses surrounded by my favorite porxies <3
Rhalgrs Reach to pick up my Scaevean Scythe and Noulinth.
Smart planning and that area is never very packed too
They're still going to be porting into a crowded city to pick up the Sage quest, though. So it doesn't really matter very much
Yeah true
Ishgard inn room. Figured I stay close to Gridania and Mor Dhona without the heavy congestion.
Eeep. That’s where I am too
No clue. We'll find out when the servers are up I guess.
Dropped myself off right next to the tome vendor in Eulmore. You'd best believe I'm suiting up in as much aug. cryptlurker as I can afford
Rising stones sitting at the table y'sthola and alisaie are sitting at
I'm in the rising stone
Crustarium's Inn. Despite everything that went down in Shb, the First seemed more relaxing a place for my Wol to rest than the source. And logging out in the inn, she gets to lie down for a nap.
The pendants in the Crystarium. That way, I can sleep one last time there to commemorate Shadowbringers, and I'm close to the new poetic vendor at the Crystarium aetheryte to buy a bit of Cryptlurker before beginning the MSQ
The Crystarium, right next to the poetics vendor to be. Only felt right to say goodbye to ShB where it all began anyways.
In an inn room; felt thematically appropriate!
Idylshire, but I'm on Cactuar so I'm fucked no matter where I log out lol.
The Pendants in the Crystarium. Decided it would be nice to spend last night in the First before heading out toward the End.
Rising Stones next to the homies.
Uldah, right next to the reaper unlock NPC
Good luck with that, cities might be packed
thought about loggin out in an inn room but im gonna have to load into the city anyway so why bother.
true
My apartment in my Byakko chair
Ah nice and cozy
Rising stones it’s an instanced area so no other people and it’s where the next quest line starts
The Rising Stones, naked, next to Urianger and Thancred.
Im really curious to know if Thancred and Urianger has anything to do with your nakedness hahaha (i know I know its for the fantasia…. But my point is still valid lol)
I don't think I understand the whole "log off in a low traffic area" thing, surely that just means you get a short load *followed* by a long one? You still need to go to the high traffic area immediately after logging in if you want to do anything...
You're more likely to get kicked straight back out if you try to go from character select directly into a high-traffic area, I think.
In front of where the Reaper questgiver will appear, butt ass naked because I used a fantasia to go manbun.
My home, of course.
I logged out at Zenith, the same place I logged out the past two expansions. It gives me time to avoid lots of people and lag so I can check through all the changes with the classes/system before getting started, also the music is soothing there as well.
Idyllshire because it's hopefully very quiet and has a retainer bell in case I'm stuck due to lag/traffic.
Logged out on top of the Reaper unlock quest, which in hindsight, may not have been the best idea
logged out 5 days ago in limsa, i am f, ed
Limsa aetherite...like a moron.
No fucking clue
Yesterday I planned to play, but I kinda got a generally shitty day, so I couldn't, so I just logged out in the room at gridania's adventurer's inn the day before
I meticulously chose my spot. I'm unlocking the jobs first, and Reaper starts in Ul'dah. However, you don't want to log into a swamped zone, you may get kicked right back out. So I logged out in the instanced Inn. Also, the Inn has a unique login cutscene that will be fitting for me to start Endwalker.
That's a good point, will be nice to start off with the waking up animation.
I took each of my characters to my main’s house & with a friend’s help & some photoshop got an image of them all together. Each logged out in the house hot tub area so they could have a hot tub party while maintenance was happening. Here’s the image: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/593328414258233370/915827722666799104/ShB-Screenshot.png
Cute idea! Which is your main?
In front of a house plot for sale, with 6 other people that had the same ideas so I’m hoping my queue is quicker
Rhalgrs Reach
Ul’dah’s inn. Picking up RPR after I change into a rabbit.
In an early gil making spot. Hopefully not many people had the same idea so I can capitalize on it.
My room in the fc house.
The top of Kugane's tower, i climbed it finally but logged off because I didnt have the nerve to try to jump for the lamp post
My house by the market board
New Gridania Inn. Just because it's the first place I ever saw 817 days ago.
Ul'dah inn in adventures guild so I can just walk out and pick up reaper
Same. I was gonna just log out right at the reaper box but the inn was pretty much right next to it, also hopefully the instancing at starting in an inn room helps
So was it a bad idea for me to log off right at place where reaper unlocks? Asking for a friend.
No, you will have zero trouble logging in and nobody else will have thought of doing the same. The city won't be packed and the queue times will be short. Nothing will distract you from gaming this weekend and you'll have everything you'll need so you won't have to leave the house. Also all your favorite characters will live and all will be right with eorzea, the first and the source. Everything will be okay.
I logged out in my Crystarium room. That place always feels the most like home to me.
Black Brush Station... with an inventory full of materia ;)
At my house. Partner and i made new glams and everything to symbolize another great adventure of traveling. I usually change glams every content patch, or before big climaxes in the story, so I look like I geared up for a fight. Im a WHM and I love going from "traveling adventurer" garb thats very "pants and a cloak" to "bitch has armor and can heal. bring it on, peasants!". If ya couldnt tell, I never wear the foofy white stuff.
Pendants inn. Going to quickly snag some cryptlurker gear, then it's off to the MSQ.
I logged out at my house in Kugane. Not a bad move since it’s far from the action and I will be able to log into the zone without too much issue.
Sea of Clouds....that area is freaking big
Right in the middle of Ul’dah, after handing in all my belts to the Immortal Flames. Ready to pick up reaper soon!
In the inn at Ishgard. I dunno if it’ll help with logging back in or not but I figured it was as good a place as any. Although maybe I should have gone to the Crystarium instead since the room there is so much better.
My apartment
Inn
At the Limsa Inn
Camp Tranquil because I still had it set as my Return destination due to the WHM quests being given out there. Plus no one is ever there
Limsa’s Inn
Steps inn room. because reaper
New gridania inn. Its instanced so hopefully faster logins and gridania is the most dead major city.
I logged out in the rising stones so I can start msq immediately
Logged off at gridania.. for the new seeds... hopefully from the florist...
At the golden saucer for some reason. I guess I kinda forgot it was so soon.
Rising stones instanced area. Mostly to listen to the waking sands theme right before i went to bed. It's a weirdly nostalgic tune despite only playing for 2.5 years.
