Welcome to my next hastily written guide that makes more sense to me then it probably will you but it's better then nothing, right?

"Updates"

30/05/2021 - Weapons

Grabbing a lvl 21 Yew radical from Limsa weapon shop before Sastasha Money will be very tight here Grabbing a lvl 29 weapon from Limsa weapon shop on route to vesper bay Lasts longer then the RNG dungeon weapon

12/05/2021 - Moraby Drydocks 2.2

===========================

So CNJ/WHM has been the go to class since 5.0 dropped and with 5.3 changing up the exp curve and stream lining the MSQ it's about time there was some form of "guide" to help everyone out a bit.

There is a lot that can go wrong with this run and most of it is RNG based (fun!) The quality of players you get in dungeons will never be the same and this can make or break a run. You may end up with all sprouts or you may get a team of vets and a ranged who casts Peloton 24/7, the time difference between the 2 is very noticeable. You may even get data centre hiccups that ruin a run.

This is a long run, a lot can go wrong and most of it is after 2.3

So far this guide goes up to Haukke Manor and is based off of ItsAMiga's 1st place run (as of 27/10/2020).

It will make more sense after you've done a run as it's been wrote out with knowledge of the run already, if that makes sense.

So to start things off;

MSQ = Main Story Quest CT = Crystal Tower CNJ = Conjurer WHM = White Mage Prae = Praetorium

You get 10 silver Chocobo feathers on a preferred world, these will get you 3 pieces of your ilvl 130 gear, weapon, chest and pants. You will hit level 50 in Coerthas. You'll have 600 Poetics by the end of 2.0, grab more armour. The MSQ will provide you with all your accessories. Sniffing the Chocobo should never have been removed, fight me!

The Run!

Finish mini tutorial

For PC players you can log out here (do not pause the timer) to the main title screen and copy across character data to setup hot bars ect. You will take a time hit here of a couple of minutes or worse if the world is full and you hit the login queue.

====

Very short notes on this section, it's mainly just follow the MSQ for the next few hours

Attune Wineport before entering Brayflox dungeon.

After you complete the dungeon you'll be placed right back where you were when you entered, you need to speak to Brayflox for the MSQ.

Monumental Hopes MSQ - You do not need to fight the mobs that spawn, investigate the destination and sprint on out of there.

Cape Westwind sometimes has a queue timer on it, use this time to attune to the Aetherytes in Northern Thanalan, upon completion of the Duty you'll be back outside Cape Westwind.

====

2.1+

You will need to kill Ifrit/Garuda/Titan HM and do CT for the MSQ

Pickup the CT quest when in Mor Dhona - do not go for the crystals yet When the MSQ has you in the waking sands pick up the Ifrit quest. When the MSQ takes you to Ul Dah, update Ifrit quest Make time to attune to Ifrits Aetheryte, flying makes this quick Queue the duty and continue MSQ Hand in quest on next visit to waking sands, pick up Garuda quest Update Garuda quest on next visit to Gridania Attune to Garudas Aetheryte on next visit to Coerthas Flying makes this simple Queue up for the duty Hand in on next visit to waking sands Pick up Titan HM quest Update quest on next visit to Limsa When going to attune to Titan Aetheryte you can also do the first part of the CT quest on the way Queue duty Hand in on next visit to waking sands

2.2 -MSQ - The Gift of Eternity - This quest will end with you right next to the crystal you need for the CT quest

You can unlock the Moraby Drydocks by using a ferry from Aleport to Candlekeep Quay, no more need to run for it!

After The Whorleater (Hard) has been completed you should be around ilvl 90-100 if you've followed this guide, now is the time to finish up the CT quests and complete the 3 CT raids. You can't fly in the area around the CT, it's my assumption that it is quicker to tele to Mor Dhona and fly to the quest giver then it is to run out of the CT area.

2.3 is now very short and nothing really note worthy about it.

2.4-2.55 - Again not much I can really mention about this other than the queue times for Snowcloak and everything after are very RNG and wipes tend to happen more in these dungeons/trials then others or at least from what I've seen!

With that you're done, big congrats! Time to submit your run and reflect, see what you can improve on for next time.
