Cross-City Questing (Group Play) - Belvisa - 09-05-2013
So, with the restrictions on character creations due to server stress recently, myself and a friend have been seperated across servers. Something we finally managed to rectify today when he finally managed to create a new character on Balmung.Â
I started my character in LL, and he started his today in Ul'dah, so i headed over to quest with him and level up, however, half of the quests i know from central Thal. are missing for my LL-started character. Now i was expecting the Main, Story quests to be missing and allowed for the huge chunks of Exp i'd lose thorugh not having access to those, but some side-quests are missing too. For example the quests near the coffin bar, the ones to collect ant mandibles, or clear the mine of cobalds, or killing shrews in barrels, and likewise at the 'hub' who's name i've forgotten just north.
It seems that a lot of the quests just arn't open to me, which leaves me a little confused, how if i'm right, are players supposed to play together if 50-60% of their quests arn't mutually obtainable, or likewise, how are you meant to level up multiple classes with a shortage of actual quests (Not counting the leve's)
Any advice, help or clarification is welcome here!

I noticed some of the side quests from 1-15 are tied to the story quest in that area as well. I leveled this guy starting as GLD and when I went to Gridania to level CNJ, I didn't get some side quests my archer did who started there.

You can level up by doing leves or Fates together.

Leves, fates + hunting logs are our primary joint source of exp at the moment, i'm guessing it'll all work out later once we reach higher levels maybe. just seems like large swathes of land being left questless atm, its a little strange.
I mean for my character who started in LL, almost the whole of central Thal. is questless, if you don't count the 'kill x amount of level 1 creepies outside the gates' quests from within the city.
