At level 22 you can sign up for a grand company, the storyline involving what is happening with the Meteor and the Garlean conflict can be started then. You can enter a grand company via the second option on the entrance to the market wards. You'll need to sign up for all three and hear what each company has to say as a Recruit before picking one to advance your company career. Be warned that this storyline can only be done until 2.0. After then, they plan on introducing a whole new replacement storyline since the majority of the cut-scenes here are warning about the whole upcoming cataclysm-end-of-the-world-meteor coming in a few patches.

At level 20 you can start undertaking class quests. This is done at every guild corresponding to the class after level 20. There are three of these. One when your class gets level 20, one when class gets level 30 and the last current one when it hits 36.

At level 30 you can start undertaking job quests. You get the job and each ability for each quest you complete in the line. The job quests are done at level 30, 35, 40, 45, and the last one is done at 50.

The primals (Ifrit and Moogle) are able to be done after you complete the level 25 "Easy" version of Ifrit in the company quest "It bleeds with Fire".

The main scenario quests are done historically at levels 10, 14, 20, 26, 30, 34, 38, 42, and 46. I know they lowered the levels of some of these, so this particular information may not be correct.



Good luck!

I had read about the choosing a grand company, but that explained it just fine, just like the rest of the post.

Thanks!

Don't want to start another thread for the question I have so I thought I'd piggy back off of this one...

How is the Gear Damage system in the game now? I know when I did play at launch, it pretty much sucked, but I guess I was just new to it. Anywho... I take it that it is still something to contend with, and does it apply to the new Job specific gear?

There are repair NPCs at every Aetheryte camp and city who can repair your gear up to 99%, and their prices for doing so have been significantly reduced. Underthings no longer require repairs as they are now immune to damage (they were annoying to keep fixed since you always have to be wearing some). Crafters can repair your gear to 100% using a new repair material called Dark Matter (so they no longer have to carry dozens of different repair materials anymore). If that's not enough, there's a ward in the Market Wards dedicated to getting equipment repaired, so you can have your retainer set a price or exchange an item on equipment repairs if you're looking for a deal. Also, your gear doesn't suffer negative effects from damage until very low percentages.

Gear won't suffer penalty until 0% durability, at which point none of the gear attribute or bonuses apply to you. Like you're totally naked and banging things with your bare fists.

In addition, repair is greatly sped up and you can Request repair on all your currently equipped gear through the Gear Windows.
