The weekend mostly belongs to Waenlona, but Verdha got some great work in too:

Waenlona aims for BLM 60, having already done SCH and WHM. After that, a ton of MSQ catch-up.
Done, and massive questing -- not just MSQ into Idyllshire, but every single quest that had opened up in Western Coerthas, Sea of Clouds, Dravinian Forelands, and Churning Mists. Also Chocobo Rank 14. All three mains well geared from dungeon drops, so selling the quest gear and starting to make gil (which she'll probably just blow on bookshelves). Stuffed chocobo, yay!

Verdha is levelling WHM and SCH, and collecting Esoterics and Anima materials. She's also working to complete Amal'jaa tribe quests, and slowly working up Ixal as well. Waiting for leve allowances to cap before taking the next crafting job (Alchemist) to 60.
WHM to 58, SCH at 57 close to 58, Chocobo starting to turn blue, and challenge log exp on Alchemist including massive desynth skill gains. Amal'jaa progressing nicely, and Ixal moving on as planned.

I am picking away at crafting classes. Got my ARM to 53 last night. I have a vague idea of trying to keep them all roughly at the same level so I can keep the amount of gear to a minimum. We'll see whether that really works out or not.
I've been doing that. I took LTW to 60 first, then with all the others at 50+ pre-Heavensward, I'm taking them one at a time the last levels using selected levequest grinding. They were geared adequately but not well at 50 with a common set; they keep that to 55, and then I have another set of shared gear that kicks in at 55 when the grinding needs much better stats.
My 60s live with the 55 gear set enhanced with 60-but-cheapish Market Board weapons. But then I'm not trying to synth anything fancy, just levelling them. Once they're all at 60 I'm planning to gear them all up at once. In the meantime, I can make my own food finally, provided I don't mind NQ. Marron Glace for BLM is stupid cheap.
