Patch 7.25 - Still Doing Non-Combat Content

On Tuesday Square Enix dropped patch 7.25 for Final Fantasy XIV's current expansion Dawntrail. While I see a lot of content creators focusing on new combat content like The Occult Crescent, I am still grinding away at earning all the Cosmic Tools up on the moon. But the patch did drop something for me too: The Mamool Ja Society.

The starting area

The second of the three Allied societies planned for Dawntrail, the Mamool Ja focuses on gathering. To start talk to Gotall Ja in Yak T'el at (X:35.6, Y:32.0) to accept the Cultivating Hope quest. If playing a level 90 or above botanist or miner and the quest is not available, then play through the quest lines that begin with Aiming High and Lost and Powerless.

Going from Friendly to Bloodsworn status will take 27 days doing the maximum 3 quests per day. When I get off work today I'll achieve Trusted status. I didn't wake up early to get the extra day's worth of questing which is why some content creators are already showing off some of the new items available from the new store.

The quests are very quick to do which means I don't have to take much time away from the Cosmic tools grind. While we are about 8 weeks away from the launch of patch 7.3 I am currently working on my fourth tool. The 100% bonus I wrote about last week for having three Cosmic tools is really shortening the grind. I'm hoping to knock out the final two levels on the Cosmic Needle tonight as well.

I know I'm supposed to care heavily about getting relic weapons and running The Occult Crescent. But I have things I want to accomplish and unless they involve crafting and gathering or levelling my Blue Mage job I really don't have time. I typically only have an hour or two a night to play so I have to prioritize my gameplay to what's most important. And for now the top two priorities are improving my standings with the Mamool Ja and building a base on the moon.
