I'm wondering if I should craft some high quality gear from lv 30 to 50 for my DRK to lv him up to 50 as i got full poetic gears already for tank but there hasn't been any mentioning of starting gears
Will the 3 new classes get starting gear at 30?

They'll probably start off buck naked. It seems a bit silly to add in new level 30 gear specifically for the new jobs when we already have the 30's well covered with existing gear.

No job get starting gear (AF?) at level 30
Au Ra get race starting gear at lv 1
New jobs get AF at lv 45 and 50 I think (or around lv 60 if they don't get a AF1)
Lv 30 gear for the new jobs you get from crafters and market board -

I doubt the new classes will get AF1 I assume they will have the same quest for AF2 as the old classes

I will earn 1 level with them naked and then buy Lv 31 GC gear

06-01-2015, 05:33 PMSolaria_LunaI was about to add the "All Classes" (except those "All Classes" gear that go to DoH and DoL) gear to the AST job in the quote, but now I'm not sure.Quote:

Personally I'm hoping we get a themed outfit for each Job.
With the existing classes, they start at level 1, so you can be naked or in racial gear and that'd be enough.
But starting at level 30, you cannot be naked and expect to solo properly. Considering you'll be jumping straight into Haukke Manor the instant you unlock it, imagine if 3 of your party members were nude but for the weapons?
No other class asks you to buy a whole set of gear just to be able to begin playing it.
If anything, we may just get a full set of vendor gear included in the opening quest that unlocks the job itself. -
06-01-2015, 06:43 PMSamburiEveryone who start the new jobs have a lv 50 job already. So the player should have enough money to buy gear or he can farm gear from a lv 20-30 dungeon.Quote:

Rogue. The NPC warn you to have the right gear on if you don't want to stand around in underwear the moment you equip the weapon.Quote:

But all what you need to begin playing a class/job anyway is the weapon. And you get the first weapon fom the quests, yes.Quote:

Nothing stopping them from making a unique themed set for getting us started.
Its nothing to do with having or not having gil, its about being able to start the job the moment you unlock, rather than gaining access, then going to the markets and trawling around for a suitable set of gear.
Edit: Also, i know for a fact that if the new jobs don't have a basic set given to them, the level 30 crafted gear is going to skyrocket in price for no reason other than profiteering. -

06-01-2015, 08:35 PMLokisamaThose are just general mage gear I don't know why don't they just call them Discipline of magic gear instead of letting all classes get them its not like any crafting or gathering or any melee class benefits from having them onQuote:

06-01-2015, 08:47 PMLokisamaHad to actually check what that item was I would assume they will let you do it if it still works in game where it gives 30k seals I doubt they would remove themQuote:

I'll be using the Foestriker set as well as the Infantry set for machinist and the tank equivalent for dark knight.
