Job points = another form of merit points?

[Camate]

Greetings!

We’re happy to see many of you are looking forward to this new system.

i really really hope that this is restricted from abyssea.

As some have already mentioned, it will not be possible to earn capacity points in Abyssea.
In the March version update it will not be possible to earn capacity points from Records of Eminence; however, we will be looking into addressing this in the future.

Please also keep in mind that the screenshot that was released for this content is still in development, and it’s possible that changes are made. According to the latest information we’ve received, it will be possible to upgrade each category up to 10 times initially for the March version update, not 30 as shown in the screenshot. Moving forward we will be increasing the cap on each category as well adding new categories.

it sounds like you won't accrue the new points while under Level Sync.

As capacity points can only be earned while on a job that is level 99 and through defeating monsters that are level 96 and above, capacity points cannot be earned while level synced.
