I think that'll highly depend on the job.
Because the GNB one with tenacity and determination sure doesnt look like BiS, even with 5 materia slots.

Was able to knock out all the craft relics, and finish the combat relic quest where I can get whatever one for 1k poetics before FF7:R came out. The gathering ones suck, though. Just a timesink (craft ones are too, ~450-475 macros and you're done, but at least I had all the mats I needed already so no randomness to it).
So you can get resistance (relic) gear from doing the Extreme trial version of the Duty for the weapons? Little weird they turned that into an 8 man thing if so.

Bought the complete collection today since I can’t seem to track down my old account and only had ARR - going to play a white mage again, leveled to 50 and just couldn’t find a good FC that fit my playtime. Think I quit playing a few months before Heavensward.

You have so much good ahead of you. Especially if you were done all the MSQ up to Heavensward.
You can upgrade the 490 tomestone stuff to 500 in the 5.3 patch (or if you raid, now). We dont know if this era relic armor will work like last expansion, where the anemos armor was on par with 5.2 raid gear, then that armor was finished and we got NEW armor in 5.4 and 5.45 with the cool glow. Based on it coming from an EX level trial, it's probably a 1-off for now.
Hello fellow Coeurlian.
I recommend doing all the available blue quests for unlocking the dungeons, even if you dont clear the dungeon and keep the quest in the log, as that will add them to roulettes, and you can complete them while getting your daily bonuses.

Hit level 30, playing on Zalera so the XP bonus is keeping me way over leveled against the MSQ. Had to stop doing side quests so I could get to the Chocobo quest since running from Horizon to Waking Sands was already getting old. Now riding can get old...

I started leveling an alt recently on Lamia(Primal) so I can have another set of lockouts. I got to 54 when I finished original ARR. As soon as I started the post patches before HW I went and spent the $11 dollars to skip it. No regrets.

Yeah if you have Road to 70, you basically will get way more xp than needed just doing the essential quest(MSQ, class and unlock stuff). It's good if you want to level several classes in parallel though, I did Paladin and Scholar with the buff off MSQ and daily leveling roulettes alone and got both to 50+ before getting the ARR MSQ done. It's also excelent if you want to level gathering classes and shit to make some money on the side(can make decent money off stuff like Flax and Silver Ores since they're used in high lvl crafting for example).

Guys, its a bit quicker to just take the boat to Waking Sands. Big City Crystal > inner city crystal > boat > there. If you're playing on a non-shit hard drive, it's fairly quick. Much more so than taking a taxi from the crystal to there the other way.

Not big fan of the new beast tribe being crafting. Was hoping for another battle one with the restoration. Beginning of the 2.0 streamlining and flying is great. Not sure what to think of the unreal difficulty. Not sure if they are being changed or just scaled up to 80...

So here's something that blew my mind. You dont go Horizon > Waking Sands. You take the boat from Limsa Lominsa @ the Arcanists aetherite stone.
Edit: Shit just saw people beat me to it. GJ gents!
