Training Multiple Classes/Jobs

Do I understand things correctly in that you can train both multiple classes and jobs on a single character?

Thanks in advance for any responses. I am new to the game so I apologize if this is a dumb question.

Yeap. Once you hit.. I think it's 15 (and complete the related class story quest) you can multiclass freely. The classes are your prerequisites to jobs.

Awesome! Thanks for the quick response and for not treating me like an idiot for asking.

Once you complete your level 10 class quest you can freely change among the different classes available in the game.

There is a wrinkle in the fabric, however. Your base Class determines your role in a dungeon, should you use Duty Finder to enter as a PUG.

For example, you rolled a WAR to begin with, but later decided to play as a CNJ (cuz it's fun!). Your character's role will be that of a Tank even though you can heal your bunz off.

Food for thought....

Not true, if you going into a dungeon queued as a dps class you are dps. If you go queued as a healer, you're a healer.

Yeah, not sure why you think this. The Duty Finder decides your role as what class you have active when you sign up for it. Say, you go to join when you have conj active, it will sign you up as heal. While waiting, you decide to switch, say a tanking class, and do your thing. Once it pops up as ready, it won't let you join until you switch to the class you signed up as, conj.

I stand corrected. I got my information from a trusted member of my Free Company and not first-hand. I failed my Journalistic responsibility by not checkin gwith a second source. :o

As others have stated, you get the option to pick up additional classes once you've completed your level 10 class quest. Seeing how your avatar is a level 9 arcanist, you will only be able to pick up additional classes around Limso Limosa (god I can't spell that city) until you have progressed enough in your story arch to use the airship. You'll be roughly level 15 by that point.

On a side note the idea that it would wait for you to change back your class in duty finder is also wrong. If you change your class after entering queue it will cancel the queue.
