FFXIV Questing, Aether Currents and More

The main story gates each expansion's zones and duties, so falling behind locks you out of current content.

Each package plays one expansion's story: Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers, Endwalker or Dawntrail. Order them in sequence if you're several expansions behind.

The story asks for a job at the expansion's level by its end: 60 for Heavensward, then 70, 80, 90 and 100 for Dawntrail. Pair a story package with FFXIV Main Job Power Leveling if your job is behind.

The story opens the expansion's zones and duties as it goes. They're unlocked on your character when the package is done.

Every cutscene played on your character goes into the Unending Journey in any inn room. You can watch the story there whenever you like.

Square Enix sells story skip items that mark the quests complete without playing them. A story package plays every quest and duty on your character instead, so the rewards along the way are earned too.

Flying and the side stories are where most players fall behind after the main story.

Each zone from Heavensward on has its own aether currents. Attune to all of them in a zone and you can fly there, and the package covers one expansion's zones.

Some currents come from quests in the zone, so flying can need some of that zone's story done first. Your pro checks your progress before starting.

Hildibrand's comedy quests run alongside the main story in several expansions. The package plays the chapters you have open.

The Masked Carnivale stages and the Blue quests need Blue Mage at 80. FFXIV Blue Mage Leveling gets it there first.

Mentor Roulette runs come in packages of 100, for characters that already hold mentor status. The runs count toward the roulette's mount and title rewards.

Commendations come from other players at the end of duties. The package plays duties until 200 commendations land on your character.
