You do. Heavensward should be treated like an entirely new game, because it has the same content as any new release. If you want to just power through the story you can probably get there that quickly.

I wouldn't worry about rushing through it. Just enjoy it as the story unfolds. That said, you can unlock Red Mage and Samurai right away if you have a level 50 character. Reason to get the expansion despite being far back.

Yeah instead I will use Samurai as my reward for hitting lvl 70 on my first class. Also I don't feel the need to buy the xpac until right before lvl 60, just to make sure my xp is efficient.

I just hope I can progress my class soon with Heavensward, the new Stormblood changes made things pretty boring for low levels.

For a check on your progression, you can use this guide. If you're Good King Mog, then you're just at the end of The Realm Awoken (Patch 2.1). It should take you ~6-8 hours to rush through the rest of the A Realm Reborn content before arriving in Ishgard. I really enjoyed that part of the story .

I don't remember what server you're on, but I'd be happy to help if you're on Hyperion.
