    Quarter Jobs

    I had an idea for a new "Quarter job" unlock-able quest that would basically be 1/2 of your subjobs level. So for example: PLD99/DNC49/WAR24.

    I don't think this would be overpowered for any one job (quarter job) because if you look, it's only going to provide a handful of procs, and many of the more meaningful abilities and traits won't come until 25 or later (such as WAR's double attack).

    It might be a good quest to tuck into the new expansion, because it would give just a bit more power to 99's without being overkill.

    There are many more priorities than implementing this idea (i.e. fixing the broken enmity system) but I just wanted to throw it out for some creative thinking

    I'll agree. Not because its a great idea, but because with this I could finally go RDM99/NIN49/WAR24 and get Berserk!

    I think you are substantially underestimating just how powerful that would be. The more impressive sounding traits, spells, and abilities might be 25+, but the nuts and bolts subjob abilities are almost all below that point. In quite a few cases, the difference between a normal subjob and a quarterjob would be minor. Yeah, there are some combinations where it wouldn't be a huge deal, but there are others where it can be quite absurd.

    Hehe, I mentioned this as a sarcastic joke last week in the thread FFXI fixed!

    99/66/33 I think would be more fun.

    Ridiculously overpowered.

    Would require additional subjob grinding.

    Would satisfy the math nerd in me so much.

    Or 99/49/33 (1/1, 1/2, 1/3).

    RDM Phalanx is level 33. That alone should be enough to convince the devs to go along with it.

    There wouldn't be a reason to invite RDM ever again! SE devs are adding it to the test server as we speak!
