Tidbits about the Job System

[Rukkirii]

Hey gang,

There were a few questions answered in regards to the upcoming debut of the Job System that we wanted to pass along. While this isn't the full list of details, as those will be revealed on Lodestone in an upcoming article, there are a few questions we have answers for.

A player asked if you can use job stones (tentative) while in combat; and just like changing classes, as long as you're in passive mode and not engaged with an enemy, you'll be able to switch jobs.

There was also a question about linking class weapon skills with job specific weapon skills; since you'll be able to utilize your class actions while on a job (for example, using lancer actions while playing as dragoon), you will be able to combo class and job actions. There was also a question asking to confirm whether or not you can wear job artifact armor while playing as a class; you cannot wear job specific armor while playing as a class.

Doh! I misinterpreted combo class for a moment as being a Conjurer with a Bard job stone.
Rather than using a Thaumaturge's combo action like Thunder -> Thundara -> then finishing with the Black Mage Thunder spell.

Job stones ought-to-be interesting. Hmmms! *ponders the mad ponder*

(And thanks for ze update)

Wouldn't those questions be sort of obvious to answer? Sounding like a jerk I am sorry.

I for one couldn't sleep last night because I kept thinking if someone who isn't a whitemage could use whitemage gear.

Actually no I slept just fine because I'm not stupid.

I agree, but, apparently some JP poster actually asked these questions. That's the only reason this topic was made in the first place.

Just like JP thread's player response... I hope to god devs are thinking of a way to clean up inventory in 1.21 or we're gonna end up with tons of AF gear taking up already 95-99% full inventory space...

Other than that the part I was wondering with the JP side response on this one was they only answered regarding gears and not the weapon (pretty sure not answered because AF Weapon isn't going to be coming in 1.21 but still....), as weapon to do above you have to change weapon to become that class > put on job stone to become that job > then put on job specific weapon. Pretty sure some going to complain about that one even if it's just simple process lol already can see it. Wonder what the devs are thinking on this part.

Honestly wondered about this myself. It seems sort of silly to have the need to equip something to change your job/class. It should have been an option in the menu or something on/near the action bar that you just click. Having item equip tied to changing jobs just creates too many problems. Inventory space is one of them.

I thought the AF weapons were coming in 1.21!

I do not think I've seen mention of a release date for those. I think I've only seen players discuss those.
