How are you preparing for Dawntrail?
We only have a week left until early access starts, what are you guys doing to prepare for it? I’ve grinded out the carbuncle earring from the mogtome event and plan to do the wondrous tails for that extra exp. Also, both my inventory and glamour dresser are completely full, so I’ll need to make some room beforehand… But most importantly, I still need a fitting glam :D
My favorite thing to do to prep for an expansion is try to get as immersed as I can ahead of it.
The first thing I always do is choose the class I’m going to play for the next expansion, with an RP reason, and then make a glam for it. I chose MCH this time, on the reasoning of, after Endwalker, the WoL finally had downtime, but they’re still the chaos gremlin that carries an entire house in their backpack, so I thought they’d probably use that time to do a deep dive into something scholarly for the first time. For my character, I decided she wanted to figure out exactly how much aether she can channel at once, and what better way to do that than by blasting it out of a gun?
With my lore established, I made a couple glams to fit it, and what we’ll be doing. The first is the culmination of her downtime activities, a complex outfit with a lot of magitek involved, which definitely stands out from a crowd.
The second is a more low-key glam for going to the new world for the first time, with unobtrusive elements of weird tech. The Scaevan earring is one of my favorite glam items. I love having my Bluetooth earpiece.
I also did a new housing build for my character in an Empyreum apartment, meant to look like a secret workshop in the Brume, where she did all her tinkering.
