Last night I hit a red MSQ in the filter between ARR and Heavensward because I haven't done se of the hard versions of primal battles. That makes mainlining my way through this stuff hard. How much of the "plus" quests are just dungeons and how much of them are actual other threads of story? I've done a bit of the aethersand stuff, but not much else because I figured it was just all optional dungeons of which I've done barely any during my time with the game. Am I missing out on a lot?

The good news is that this is the only time I think the MSQ does this with something that isn't just checking your job quest. There are a LOT of side stories but nothing directly relevant. Some of them get referenced by the main story or alter dialogue but that's it.

I would reccommend doing side dungeons and questlines at your own pace when you hit the endgame of each expansion - you'll rack up poetics at a good pace to get gear and there's plenty of neat dungeons and fights. Where you are now there's only a handful of side stories and mostly it's one-off dungeons, but in the expansions they add more ongoing storylines to do.

For right now I'd say to look into doing Crystal Tower and Hildebrand whenever you want a break from the main story.
