I feel that the suggestion to complete the triad involves Unikalhai because he should be in the first at this point in the story if you did all the ShB role quests. (first!)

[Dysvalence]

On the note of preparing glams, it's also a good idea to clear some space in the glam dresser for all the new drops

[USMCer]

Warring Triad and Eden raids have direct ties to the story of the 13th.





⚠️Spoiler warning for Shadowbringers and Endwalker⚠️


Unukalhai and Cyella are survivors of the 13th destruction who were both saved by Elidibus, Mitron and Loghrif.

Because of being saved though, they became ageless beings despite being centuries old.

Warring Triad has Unukalhai as the quest giver and can only be seen in the 1st after completing that and finishing all the class quests in Shadowbringers. Cyella will reveal she was the Shadowkeeper who fought Ardbert but hasn't donned any battle gear and is practically a civilian now.

Unukalhai and Cyella find each other and start to search for a way back to the 13th, so much like Graha Tia, they could become major party members in a future expansion.

You know, I hadn't thought of prepping new glams, and I'm so glad you mentioned it!

[ecchidragon]

Thx for doing this.

Since I've already done most of these already, I'm golden...

[tonerikko]

The only other thing I'd say to do before Dawntrail is that if you plan to play Pictomancer or Viper pretty early, go ahead and get some poetics ready. Buy the casting or scouting Cryptlurker set pre-patch (because the two jobs will start at 80), and keep some additional poetics around for their lv80 weapons after launch and for the ability to buy Augmented Credendum once they hit level 90 (assuming you don't already have level 90 casting/scouting gear).
It won't kill you to wear the coffer gear, but it certainly feels nicer to start a new class at their max item level before diving in to the leveling grind.

[OtakuWrath]

I'd like to recommend the Arkasodara Beast Tribe in Endwalker, it's something I'd highly recommend getting to Bloodsworn for the EXP bonus. It should give a nice daily 3 million exp for levels 80 to 90 (assuming they don't reduce it in Dawntrail) Since Viper and Pictomancer will start at level 80 it's gonna help speed up leveling the new jobs a lot.

[soldierorsomething]

From EW launch i remember 30min AFK kick timers and 3-4 hour ques to get in and even back then we had DDOS attacks that caused lags, so its just something to be prepared for

[matoyashat]

The Warring Triad recommendation from Yoshi was referring to 6.5 released at that time, which ties into both Triad and Eden side quests. Nothing to do with DT as far as we know (probably). Still a good idea to do it though!

[solidshy]

just in case i'd say do the void quests as in the quests that unlock after all the role quests for shadowbringers are completed since yoship said that both the warring triad and eden are recommended im suspecting thats why since unikalhai and an other character from the role quests (not saying just in case of spoilers) are pretty important. oh also if you plan to level picto or viper remember to prep your wondrous tails for a good boost of experience!

[Scerttle]

It's possible Warring Triad and Eden are important for the patch content... though his recommendations for EW were throughout the whole expansion so it's hard to say.

[ShadowSLVR]

I boosted to get up to my friends and to start knocking out Endwalker MSQ so I can at least be ready for Dawntrail

[heartofsteen]

Don't forget to cap your poetics!! 💖💖💖💖

[Unapologeticweeb]

im going with the summer sunset set makes sense given the summer vacation like theme

[tuigg]

Oh boy i just started playing and i bought everything including the new expansion, i have so much to catch up on, at least im still having fun with my warrior, just got him to level 50, just 40 more to go 😅🤣 well im not gonna rush it tho just want to enjoy the game just hope i make it in time

[vinsmokejadzki]

I just finished PST Game of Endwalkers.
I was planning on unlocking missing Dungeons and Trails.
But then I started FF7 Rebirth so am like, that can wait!

[supaipai]

Yeah endwalker que was insane took me 3 hours

[FfxivPcPlayer]

they need to bring back the afk kick back

[VisionoftheChief]

Just came back. I have to do MSQ still so I won't have to grind gear by the time Dawntrail releases, but we'll see.

[Achancec]

dont forget to clean out your inventories. I recommend keeping party chat on so when you get into trials and dungeons you can communicate with your party. also maybe try something new while you wait, never fished? give it a go. Island sanctuary? getting relics from prior expansions? do it! max out the shared fates, max out the beast tribes, they are a great way to level since the new jobs will be starting at 80, and stack up on materia, you def dont want to buy them from market during the launch, you will go broke, also try C&V dungeons.
