Add an NPC to the game that converts Job Points and Mlevel

[Zenion]

You want levels on a job? Play that job.

As annoying as it is to do a lot of job point grinding on one job while others languish... I have to agree on that. Admittedly, you get a lot of one person on blue mage doing the work and the others just getting job points while afk, but there's no reason to be able to move experience around from job to job.

That said... why not Potpourri +1 and Potpourri +2 so job points and exemplar points over the limit don't get wasted? As ridiculous as it feels to talk about exemplar points over the limit, with all the grinding that involves, it's a situation that's going to happen since opportunities to build master levels tend to favor a single "main" job, which then gets called on for content because it's a higher master level, and it just makes this weird feedback loop where one job can be capped and you just can't move on to another job. (Had a friend capped out on corsair when we were doing daily flan fights, and it's like... wow, that's 50,000 exemplar points that just vanished into thin air, that's a shame, but we need him to show up on corsair to do this.)

I've always found this a weird argument and discussion- We've been "wasting" EXP for basically forever. Why do we need to manufacture uses for Progression Points, as I like to call them? Why has no one asked for excess EXP specifically to be given a use? And most RPGs with any kind of leveling system simply stop when you reach the max level, mechanics where you spend EXP after reaching the cap to do something are not exactly common.

its s hold over to how they're doing stuff - like it coudl be that exp over a maxed out capp (exp, merits, capacity points, job points, and MLV points now get coverted into buff or somethign useful like a moogle mania stat, and ifyou keep exping you just get permanent buffs on

soliek 10k poitn give you permanent protect effect, 20k gives you shell etc. its a bad thign b/c you end up going to this god-mode in an online game but thenhave no way to ascend the god mode once everyone has it.

its a dev proglem for sure, but not one that is horrible or NON-implementable in thesis: maybe just limited to basic buffs like pro/shell/haste 1/RR - stuff you can get for points at those white books, maybe food duration its a short term stop gap without walking away from a totally automated MMO, or shutting it down - but tis still a forward progression into the same maps and content and its JUST exp.

a new zone or job woudl be nice - or a set of MLV job abilities or something big and replayable - typically a new job is that answer but idk how SE feels about impelemting a new job 25 years on.

That's basically what they set up for capacity points and job points but failed to set up for master levels b/c theyre' still implementing the larger long-term structures for the master levels.

for master levels there's still going to be things where just liek merit points the capacity point become s form of currency also: like buying KI for hard boss fights and how MLV exp rings can get released. etc.
