So I started up my subscription at the end of December and have been playing daily since. I hadn't finished the main Heavensward story so that was my first goal. To be honest I'm still not done that part yet. On top of the main story in the original expansion, Square Enix added a few patches worth of additional main story since. I just finished the 3.1 scenario "As goes light, so goes darkness" and now into the 3.2 scenario quests. After the 3.2 scenario quests, I'll move into the 3.3 quests followed by the 3.4 quests and finally the 3.5 quests.
It's been a little slow as I don't want to outpace my healer friend who I convinced to resub and join me. He's a dungeon or two behind me so while I wait for him to catch up I'm doing a bunch of side things. Mostly crafting. Prior to my return to the game I had 5 of the 8 crafting classes at lv50 so I started power leveling them to 60. That task blew through a tonne of the gil reserves I had. I think close to 3 million after all was said and done! While doing this for my 5 main crafting classes I quickly realized I needed the other crafting classes at lv50+ as well so I could access certain reagents that they could make. I could buy everything off the market board but that was getting too costly as my levels increased. This also led me to pick up the botanist class and to continue leveling my miner so I could access more raw materials for my crafting.
So that's where I'm at right now in my journey in Eorzea. Waiting for my friend to catch up to me in the story and spending gil leveling my crafting classes and gathering classes.
P.S. Finally used my Fantasia potion and turned Mialee from an Elezen to a Miq'ote. Why did I do that? Stay tuned and find out!
