Greetings. Iam a new player that picked the game up to play a samurai. Got to lvl 33 on my Ninja so far and loving the game but hating the class. Now that lvl 60 boost for 20 bucks caught my eye.
My Question is: If I buy the lvl 60 boost and boost a Monk, pick up the samurai class can I just continue my MSQ at lvl 33 where I left it of with my ninja without ever worrying to be underleveld for the next part of the MSQ? And do I start at lvl 30 with my Samurai (which would totaly be cool) or am I lvl 50 now? :O
Thanks for reading and iam eager to await your answers :)

Yes you can, as SAM requires a class or Job at level 50 before you can unlock it. I'm not sure if story completion is a requirement though, but the job boost potions will more than satisfy the level requirement.

06-20-2017, 03:01 PMLunaFayeNot anymore. They did remove the prior requirement that stated, that you would need a level 50 character and finish the dungeons/trials cape westwind, praetorium and castrum. Now it's only one level 50 character.Quote:

So that means, you could continue with your level 33 Ninja and follow the story line all the way to 50 or 60, or you could pick up any other job including the new jobs, and continue the level 33 story line from there.
But here's the question I am asking, if you would boost a character to 60 with the potion, and then continue doing the MSQ with your lower level, what was the point of the potion then, since you can currently only use 1 potion per service account. Your Ninja would be level 50 in no time, still giving you then the option to pick up the new Job if that's what you are craving.
If you would use the potion you will have to go back with either your newly level 60, or any other job including the new ones, and do the story line that you now have extremely out leveled.
It's your money do how you please, but I do think that it's a waste if you asking my opinion, because you can get to level 50 real quick and you wouldn't have to spend 2 weeks backtracking in MSQ and Job Quests, if you would have just done it with your current character to begin with. Therefore you are not really saving any time here, if that was the concern, and if it's just for entering the new areas, well you won't be able to do that either, till you catches up on story quest, which at this point are over 500+ quests for you.
At the end you're out of 20 bucks and didn't gain anything, besides frustration and being totally overwhelmed lol -

Thank you both very much for your answers :) My only point was that i realy dont like the gameplay of my ninja. But i realy DO like the Story so far thats why I want to continue it. If I can in fact continue the Story with a lvl 50 Samurai instead of my lvl 33 Ninja I would not mind to be overleveled. I like that even more because i can safe sidequests without having to worry that iam underleveled for my next MSQ part.
When I Boost a Monk to 60 and recieve the ilvl 258 stuff for it I should be able to use that said equipment on my Samurai once he hits 60 am i right?
@LunaFaye Iam thankful for your concerns and will take them into consideration. Iam not that patient but I dont want to RUSH through the experience eigther I just want to maximize my fun and I have high hopes for the Samurai class and simply cant wait to play it. And now there is this possibility to play it early without losing any Story progression that sounded just to good to be true :) -

Here's what I did prior to the release of storm blood. I created a new character, since I wanted to see if leveling that way, would be faster when SB comes around, then doing it the regular way.
I created a Conjurer, since tanks and healers get instant queue most of the time, when it comes to dungeons. I did the story line to level 17, this is story line level not actual character level, because with the exp increase, you're way above that level, in my case it was level 25. Unlocked palace of the dead, spend 2 in game days not real days (in my case since i had time on my hand, it was 9.5 hrs), got my conjurer from 25 - 50. Kept my story quest at level 17.
Picked up red mage as the expansion released, and then did the story quest, that were still at the lower level with it. Hence I do know that unless you're buying a main scenario skip potion, your story line quest as well as the side quests, will be still there even tho you're much higher level.
But again do as you please, I was just throwing that out there, because some people do not realize that with the extremely increased exp, it takes only a couple of hours/days to get to that level, depending how much time you can and want to invest.
But yes if you would go the route of the level skip potion, by the time your Samurai makes it to 60, you'll be able to equip your monk's gear, since both jobs share the same equipment. GL -

Sounds to me like it should fit your bill. You're getting it for a job that at least has the same gear, having the leveled job unlocks SAM, SAM starts at 50 so you're free to keep rolling with the story where you're at. You'll be overleveled, technically, but the dungeons and trials are mostly all synced anyway. Or you'll have the option to just change your settings to allow undersized parties, and see if you can solo the dungeons unsynced. (though at 33, you're probably about at the point where that starts getting difficult. As a 50 BLM, I got stopped at Brayflox when I just couldn't get the dragon down before the poison stacks took me)

Catch 22...
If you have a lvl 60 toon and want to roll either of the new classes, good luck because the new class will be lvl 50 and to low for stormblood missions.....also, if you have finished all content through Heavensward...where are you going to find missions/quests to level the new level 50 class....this is the situation I find myself in at present, rolled the Sam with my level 60 Bard and cant figure out how to level the Sam.
I don't think they thought this out to well, their concept works great IF you are currently level 50 lets you continue grinding levels to 60 where you can take stormblood quests....
sucks to be me...and others too I'm assuming
PS, I don't want hear "do fates for 10 levels".... -
06-20-2017, 06:06 PMLunaFayePalace of the dead is your friend, If you have that level 60 class, or even just class that's a level or more higher than your current one (lvl 50 sam), you get immense exp bonus after finishing the floors. Queue time is quick, within minutes if not even within seconds, and you can later on get a level 60 weapon out of that, even tho with the SB expansion right now, you won't need it since you are getting it from the MSQ itself. Give it a try, specially if you've finished the HW content already and just want to level that new or any other jobs further down the line. It doesn't take long to get the 10 levels.Quote:

More importantly, he's just using it to get the requirements for SAM. He's not boosting through the story. In fact, boosting now means he can still get the experience from stories/dungeons pre-HW as well as all the HW content before even getting to SB. Chances are he might not even need to side track at all if he sticks to SAM.

All I will add to this discussion is that SAM is painfully boring to play prior to level 50. You don't gain access to Yukikaze until 50. Thus, you have no access to Setsu - and you cannot execute Midare Setsugekka. While this is fine for open-world, because you start at level 50 - it is difficult in low-level story dungeons and trials. You also have zero access to kenki until level 52.
I tried running SAM through a pre-50 dungeon. It made my soul cry. It's as if the job was not designed with the intent to ever be used in any low-level dungeon roulette.
If you can grit your teeth with a (temporarily) stunted SAM - surviving purely off of the love of the job - then you should be fine. Just want to warn you. -

Here's the other problem..if you start a new character with the intention of turning it into a SAM and you purchase the level 60 boost, say, a monk boost so you can use the same equipment on the SAM....you are screwed....you have level ONE....everything, no duty finder, no teleport ability....NOTHING....AND no money if you happen to be FC'less......no access to market, and everything that is contingent on a quest, mission, anything that requires to do something FIRST....your screwed...
basically, I don't know whither to shi* or go blind, and I'm almost 100 US dollars into this nightmare -
06-21-2017, 07:31 AMNiwashiYou're really not screwed, because you have all the quests to unlock all that stuff. You'd be able to go through the entire quest line from 1 to 70 as a samurai. Sure, you'd be massively over-leveled for most of it, but there are a lot of people who don't really mind that. At least it means you can just go through everything in order without hitting roadblocks when you need to level up for the next part. And for people who want to play through the game as samurai (or red mage), they can.Quote:

It took me one day to take SAM through PotD from level 50 to level 60. Granted, that was a long day. It also includes the fact that the DF was toast for most of the day.
If a person does the job boost potion and decides to opt out of the story skip potion, they're going to have to go through the motions of lower content. -
06-22-2017, 12:22 AMNiwashiYou wouldn't even need this part. You don't have to be level 60 to do level 17 quests. There wouldn't be any level grinding involved as 60 levels worth of quests will give more than enough XP to gain those 10 levels.Quote:

To the best of my knowledge, the market board is not locked out for a new player. You can buy to your heart's content the minute you get boots on ground in your starting city. You just can't sell until you unlock retainers later on in the story. Note, this is predicated on the fact that I believe you can buy from day one. Maybe this isn't true. I have rarely ever used the market board. Let alone at level one. That, and I'm not at home right now to test the theory. I googled it and I can find no instance stating that there is a block on the market until a certain mission or level.
Regardless, the job boost potion gives you 300k gold.
Start in Ul'dah as PUG. Job boost him. Unlock SAM. Switch to SAM. You'll be given level 50 head/body/hands/legs/feet/weapon for free as part of the unlock quest. Go to the marketboard and buy rings/neck/wrists/earrings/belt. There. You have a level 50 geared SAM. Level him up either through PotD, PVP, and/or the main/side quests as you go. When you hit 60, switch to the shire gear you got from the job boost.
