Question about New Jobs

From the past posts it seems that jobs will unlock at Lv30 and you'll have to complete quests to level them up to the same as the class is so 50 GLA would unlock 30 PLD then you'll complete a series of quests to gain AF and higher level

I don't understand why people can't grasp the most basic principle of the job system.

Jobs gain abilities and possibly other unique characteristics through quests, they DO NOT level up. It has been said over and over and over again that jobs will not have their own experience levels and any experience earned while playing a job will go straight to that respective class.

correct would be "so 50 GLA would unlock 50 PLD"

They've already stated that Jobs are designed for "end-game" content.

I wonder if that also means Jobs will be ineffective at solo exp grinding.

If that's the case it would be brutal trying to get Paladin from 1 to 50 on quest leves.

So SE has saved us the trouble and only require the "soloable" classes to have to grind to 50.

And by saved us the trouble I mean keeping FFXIV on easy mode so casual players don't get frustrated.


Although I can't see why a Monk would have problems soloing, I figured I'd throw out the idea to keep this thread alive and flaming.


Be aware, every sentence is designed to provoke a hostile response.

Now gear mannequins and presets are more than welcome ^^ Instant gear change when you upgrade from Class to Job.

Something close to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34yF9IGOJcA (I'm showing just the gear change, not the game)

With a nice FX like the whirling one when you eat food but faster. Your character shines and poof you're PLD and geared. Different FX for different Job =)

Maybe the new servers will be able to do that.

The aforementioned article stated that, as we all know, two Classes will be required to unlock the quest for the new jobs. For example, Paladin will require lvl 30 Gladiator + lvl 15 marauder.

Furthermore, I was informed that the level of the new job acquired would be equivalent to the lvl 30 job requred to unlock the quest. For example, Paladin, once unlocked and quest completed, would start off at lvl 30 due to the fact that GLD 30 is required to unlock it. If Gladiator is level 50 then Paladin will be given to the player as a lvl 50 job.

Is this true? Will we essentially just be given a "new job" at the lvl equivalent of the main Class necessary to unlock these new Job Quests? Or will we be given a new lvl 1 job to lvl through the ranks?

It is my personal oppinion that being given a new Job starting at the level of the primary Class required to unlock said new Job quest would be to he detriment of the playing community.

Thank you for your response.

any new player will play class to 30 then job to 50. the job system was not designed to make poeple who lved everything to 50 happy.

No, because they said your job will be capped untill you progress through quests and gain higher level limits / Artifact armour.

Your job would have the same level as the class, because the jobs don't have a level itself.
GLA50 = PLD50
Progress through quests is for skills and armor, not level.
