Where To Start In Adoulin?

It's been a few months since I last played, the only things I've done in Adoulin so far is unlock new jobs. Shortly after I did that, I switched and started playing Guildwars a lot, so I never experienced any of that.

I know there are newer weapons with really high dmg, and reives and stuff but I have no idea where to start or begin, could anyone just give me a compact 30 second intro on it so I have an idea what to do when I get off work in a few hours I can try to get into newer things?

I would definitely start doing Coalition Assignments

Easy way to make bayld which you'll need to buy maps and other things.

Good luck

EDIT - Start at the Couriers' Coalition

Do the "I'm on a boat" quest for Watercrafting KI, Then do the "Hide and go Peak" quest for the Climbing KI so that you can get access to Yorcia Weald Skirmish. Do Cirdas Caverns, Rala Waterways Skirm for weapons, and Yorcia for Gear/Ki upgrade for weapons. Also join up at coalitions around towns and do those quests for fame to get access to Wildskeeper Reives. With the bayld you get from the skirms you should be able to get maps and other items in town. Try getting in a Delve boss run (Morimar, Fort De Hennetel, or Cirdas) to get clear/Plasm to buy Delve gear.

First, go here http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Category:Adoulin_Quests

There's a lot of quests you can complete in town just by walking and talking to npcs.
1 of them involve unlocking waypoints and is a good start.

Then do the missions here http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Category:Seekers_of_Adoulin_Missions
you'll be blocked at 1.5 very quickly and this is where you'll begin to go visit the adoulin zones.

Try to visit every zones you can and unlock waypoints.
You'll need certain key items to get access to some of the zones.
Work on them.
In this order, wiki thoses keywords and do the quests for them : Logging, demolishing, watercrafting, climbing. (there's a new one since November 4th update, i'm sure someone will tell us what it is.)

Now, you want to get your hands on level 106 gear. Get some baylds from reives (killing trees that block the way in ceizak battlegrounds).
If you have a good whm or a bard, you can skip this part and get into Skirmish for level 113 weapons and armor. (pre-adoulin geared DD's are not good in skirmish content. You'll miss 90% of the time and you'll die pretty quickly.)

BG wiki has good infos about Skirmish, read them.

With this gear you'll be able to participate in higher tier reives and delve fracture runs.

Hope it helped.

Thanks a lot, that's exactly what I was looking for.

+1 internets to you all!
