Cap past LVL 60 confirmed

Look at this picture.

His Gladiator is at 60, yet he still has experience gained.

(obviously a joke topic; most likely just an error on SE's part)

That crafting gear set is sweet

Totally off topic (and not a big deal), but I think it's dumb they listed the new jobs as "Extra Jobs," instead of just putting them with the others in Disciples of War and Magic.

Probably to avoid confusing newbies when they're leveling their classes and can't find where those three jobs are. "Extra jobs" implies you get them later, which is exactly the case. I agree it's a little weird from an organization standpoint though.

Don't be surprised if this is an elaborate way to restrict old gear from being worn by the new jobs. Up until now we've assumed that the new jobs can wear old gear. There is even heavy talk of the Machinist being able to wear the High Allagan Coat of Aiming from clips from the Benchmark, and everyone is going along with that. But it's quite possible the Benchmark allowed gear possibilities that will not actually be possible on launch. It's also possible that there is some new item, such as "High Allagan Coat of Sniping" that will be specifically for the Machinist alone.

Maybe you think it's dumb, but maybe it's a way of dealing with gear restriction without interfering too much with non-expansion clients.
Or maybe they will eventually go into the DoW/DoM sections like you want anyway...

It's probably a UI bug.

or aliens.

It's more to differentiate between 'Classes' and 'Jobs'. Since the three new jobs have no base classes, they're not classified as a 'discipline' unlike the other classes. That's most likely why they're under their own heading.

Really? Gee, I had no idea.

In FFXI, Blue Mage, Dragoon, Corsair, etc were Extra Jobs because without the expansion, they are impossible to unlock. They probably could have listed them under DoW/DoM but put an asterisk there or something instead, but alas.

12 jobs
"The Twelve"
12 Zodiac Braves
12 Atmas
Circle of 12 Knights of Ishagrd that slayed Nidhogg
12 Ascians

Like I said, no big deal, it just looked strange when I saw the image.

If you guys are done derailing the thread, this is most likely an UI bug. The GLA Lv. number is orange, yet has a filling experience bar. Meanwhile, the other classes and jobs that are at Lv. 60 have their experience bars empty. Either it is a kink that will be ironed out, or Yoshi decided to increase the level cap without telling the player base (which I doubt is the case).

So the new Job category is Extra Job...
Kinda Part Time Job feels

or maybe you can get xp even after 60, but can't get to 61. or you can get "Paragon Levels" as in Diablo III :)

It's sort of like that in Granado Espada, as well. you lv 1-100. then get veteran (which take as long to lv as 1-100) then expert, then master -.-
But if there is such, it's good way to continue to get stat points, even after cap. So you kinda pick a main job, and....stick with it for max profit...which kind of ruin the idea of having all jobs on same char :) but there's prob a cap for it as well...maybe get stat points for up to lv 99.

Don't know about anyone else in this thread but the first thing I looked at was that crafter ilvl, lvl and gear! wooo, ilvl 90 or over crafter gear at cap then. <3 :D

Plus the gear ain't too bad looking either. ;)

honestly tho imo its just gonna fill the bar at 60 but unable to level up to 61 etc alot of games do that

I have another concern with that picture... and it kinda bugged me since they announced Astrologian.

Doesn't the Arcanist's icon look like a star globe? So that should have been more like the Astrologian's icon, then change the Arcanist's to resemble more like a book?

Personally I would rather have had them labeled "Advanced Jobs" than Extra Jobs. But that's just my rose tinted XI goggles maybe.

I wanna know what is the new ilvl for primary tool is? :/

FFXIV V1 did that, then they removed it with ARR. I can't see them bringing it back. Those test characters probably didn't level up, they most likely inserted EXP values to the database until it hit 60. Thus it could bypass the code check of if character = 60, give 0 EXP.

my old game did that level 149-150 was about 75 billion exp that was 6 months of grinding without buyin access to special areas via item mall,,, u were capped at max experince unable to level... the catch = if u died without buyin n item mall scroll to prevent exp loss in wars etc u lost 5% exp each death lol sooo do the math :P so glad they dont have that here lol

I agree 100%. It looks horrendous.

Nah, its nothing special, it showed up like that when yoshi was on his blm during 2.0 showings as well. its just part of the dev structure i think that doesnt limit xp upon max level.

i think its funny, it's like they finally realized that their system has a lot of flaws and instead of turning it around they patch it up here and there. Let's see what 4.0 will bring to the table.
