Job points = another form of merit points?

Not that Trust hasn't thoroughly killed the mechanic already, but it sounds like you won't accrue the new points while under Level Sync.

How does it sound like that. They say you need one job at 99 with a Limit Breaker to unlock the points. It seems that leveling any job after getting that Job Breaker item gives you the points, so you can earn them on the way to 99 with a new job. It's a reward for maxing one job out. You may not be able to spend the points until level 99, but you can rack up a bunch on the way there.

sounded to me like you need a 99 to get a limit breaker but the job points are job specific, in other words if you have 16 99s you don't need 16 limit breakers. but if you want job points on geo you need to be playing geo to get them. not sure if you can accumulate points in more than 1 job or if this is going to be like Guild points, where starting them on alch means saying goodbye to all the ones you earned on leather.

I read more when I got home on BG. JP update post says level 96+ mobs grant capacity points, so yeah, you have to gain them at high level. Also, 30k capacity points for 1 job point, with a max stored of 200 JP, is 6 million capacity points to top out, and like merits, will probably take more than cap to max out a character. I don't see people maxing out more than one job in the near future.

Also, having capacity points and exp/merit points stack, so you can earn both at once, means you can increase your character stats while farming merit points for new high level battles, like AA/DM/SF. You aren't forced to choose to either farm points for a key item to do a burning circle battle or to increase your abilities.

How does it sound like that.

• Currently be a job of level 99

That "currently" to me sounds like the job itself must "currently" be 99, and not under any sort of restriction.

It sounds to me like "currently, as in you must have this job at 99 to use this feature." Like for Limit Points: "You must currently have a job at 75 in order to earn limit points." You don't literally have to have the job at 99 to earn Job Points, it just must be 99 in order to participate. Like you know, earning limit points under a level cap of 25 while the job is really at 99.
