So if they are doing jump potions possibly I know there is currently a mentor system. So Im curious to now will we have mentors that just went from 60 to 70. I know you have to do some extra stuff to go with it but that sure does shave alot of time off just wondering every ones thoughts on this and how a jump potion will effect the mentor system.
How will a potential jump potion effect the mentor system

It won't mess anything up, really. I mean, the mentor system was already lopsided because the requirements were so easy to burn through. And the vets usually answer all the questions anyway.
At best, you'll see more derps in ex roulette or raids. -
11-16-2016, 02:21 AMjoannaluttrellNo. To become a mentor (unless they changed it which I haven't seen that they have) you have to have either max level in 3 roles or in DOL/DOH. So having one job at max isn't going to do anything.Quote:

Why is it ok that other mentors that would have already leveled their stuff the right way that someone can skip 60 levels and have it easier for one class.Quote:

Considering they said it'd jump to level 60 if ever implemented... I don't think it'll be an issue!

Btw here are the requirements:
What is the mentor system?
The mentor system is a system which will allow players to assist beginners. In order to become a mentor, players must earn specific achievements and talk to a specific NPC.
There are three requirements:
Must have one job from each role (Tank/DPS/Healer) at level 60.
It’s set up in a way so that the player can offer advice for each role.
Must have completed 1,000 or more instanced dungeons or trials.
You may feel this is a large amount of number; however, we believe a lot of players have this completed already.
Have earned over 300 commendations.
Additionally, there are requirements for those who don’t play battle-related classes/jobs.
Instead of the above requirements, players can also become mentors by completing the following:
Have at least one class from both Disciples of Hand and Land at level 60.
Have crafted over 100 collectables.
Have gathered over 300 collectables. -
11-16-2016, 02:38 AMbswpaytonThe issue would be that there would be mentors that did alot less work than others whats ok with that?Quote:

11-16-2016, 02:47 AMbswpaytonIm soon to be a mentor of the land and hand myself , and no as long as someone met the mim requirements I wouldn't mind but how is that fair to other mentors that someone can buy a jump potion and skip a quarter of the process.Quote:

Leveling a single job (or even three jobs!) to 60 is such an unspeakably tiny part of the process of becoming a mentor, it makes me wonder why this thread even exists in the first place. Those 1000 instances and coms will keep you busy on your shortcut-to-60 job long enough that you SHOULD have a decent idea how to play it by the time you actually become a mentor. About the only thing that you'd be less qualified on addressing to newbies is questions directly relating to progressing your character normally (e.g., discussion of faceroll-easy leveling dungeons, best places to get exp, where to go for story quests, etc, etc) - and these are issues which are ALREADY acceptable within the system due to the fact that you can attain mentorship via crafting and gathering instead of focusing on a combat class.
This is not to say that I think jump potions are a good idea - but what affect will they have on the quality of new mentors? Little to none, I'd say. -

Levelling to 60 isn't a quarter of the process. I'm a mentor but I still wouldn't meet the dungeon requirement because I do other stuff in the game rather than roulettes (ironically I made the commendation requirement long ago) and actually, running Tam Tara 500 times doesn't give you any especially deep insight into anything other than Tam Tara itself. All mentors know different things. And the more mentors the better, so who cares?
I think these flamebait topics would do better in General than in this section of the forum. New players aren't concerned with gamer politics so much as unlocking chocobos and learning their roles.
(Whoa, that auto correct I just caught which inadvertently made my post offensive.) -
11-16-2016, 06:54 PMLegion88I doubt you are a Hand/land mentor yourself soon, you need at least level 55 crafter to begin crafting collectables and level 55 gatherer to gather collectables.Quote:

11-17-2016, 12:10 AMbswpaytonok and my gsm and minner are level 58, and its guides upon guides that teach you how to do collectibles so I dont really see your point with that one statement. Are I could go for the battle class one I have 300 plus commendations. So Im not really following you here but ok.Quote:
