Unlocking 2.1 Content – Where to start!

With 24 hour maintenance upon us and excitement at its peak, If you are like me, you are struggling to figure out what you want to do very first when logging into FFXIV:ARR when the servers come back up!  For me, I think the first thing I will be doing will be unlocking content so that when groups start forming, that I’ll be ready!

I want to try all the things!!! However that requires unlocking them. Here is the information for where to start unlocking new content in 2.1! I tried to list them in order as to when they’d likely be available from a progression point of view.
