Suggested priorities and tips

The EoD story unlocks fishing and jade bots. Buy your skiff from the Seitung Province heart vendor. Spend MP on the features you will use most.

  1. Finish Jade Bots first (15 MP): Our recommendation for the most useful everyday upgrades in EoD. The tier 1 gliding boost and tier 3 personal waypoint help immediately, and the remaining tiers add useful features. For general convenience, finish this track first.
  2. Arborstone through tier 4 (14 MP): Commercial Hub puts banking, the Trading Post, and the Mystic Forge together.
  3. For fishing: Fishing + Skiff (34 MP total): Combine the food bonus with Fishing Party. If you do not fish, spend your points on other tracks first.
  4. Siege Turtle (20 MP): Its unlock takes more preparation. You can finish the other tracks first and return to it later.
Some tracks open through the story; skiffs need a purchase.
Fishing opens after Old Friends, Jade Bots after The Scenic Route, and Arborstone after Fallout. Buy a skiff separately from the Shinota Shore heart vendor. For the siege turtle, obtain an egg and complete its collections.
