Job Quests

It's a little late now, but it just popped in my head. If jobs are unlocked at level 30, that means they are not going to be very difficult to unlock, unless they are level capped. I am now disappointed. Wonder if they could ninja edit the level cap!(unless they are already planning that)

i dont think they will, because jobs are available at level 30 so they should be easier for a 50 but harder for a lvl 30

They might give some hard quest when getting the gear and skills, but i wouldnt expect much.

Not only are the jobs unlocked at level 30, but there is a good chance the gear is only level 30-40 as well.

So it's probably useless at level 50.

i was kind of curious about this. i have the opinion that you will do the 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 and get an ability each and you will have to complete all of the job quests to enter one of the 2 new dungeons. the gear for the jobs will likely come from there.

it's the most likely way to make the job gear rank 50 is to make you get the quests done before you get any of the job gear.

Prrrrretty sure they've said that the gear is quested.

I seriously doubt the gear will be low lvl. They will probably use the first few quests to give abilities with the gear at the end of the quest lines

Hopefully the instances give gear sets we havnt seen yet for classes.

I think skills are learned evey 5 levels. 30 35 40 45 and 50. (we all get 5 new abilities per release notes from action updates)

I have a feeling AF will be every 2 levels starting at 42, 44 46 48 50 (hands feet legs body head , or what ever order)
AF is said to be worn on the job only, So i think the armor will agument our abilites in some way over giving us straight stat increases. AF will be "end game" gear but only wearable when playing as the job. Which is supposed to be used while in party play. It won't make sence to make AF mid game, it take the iconic nature compeltely away from the jobs by doing that.

Well, it would be cool if you had to solo the job quests/af to show your worth. Neither should be an easy task.

From what I've read, the gear will come with every job quest, one every 5 levels. As will abilities. Unlocking the job at level 30 will give you one ability. The next will allow you to have 2. And so on. Just unlocking the job doesn't do much. Keep in mind, the last two will be at level 45 and 50. Those are the ones I expect to be hard.

Is there any info that says we will be a lvl 50 WHM or whatever when we equip the "job stones"? I was think one would be a lvl 50 CNJ equip a WHM "job stone" and start lvling a lvl 1 WHM.

They better have amazing stories as well!

Nice little tid bit there antipika, thanks :D

though, I would still like unlocking the job itself to be a challenge, I mean, they are the biggest things that are going to be implemented in the game for now and for a long time to come.

I don't even understand why ppl want something so small as unlocking jobs to be "Hard" it should just be a good quest line like PLD Quest/Af was in XI. As brutal as XI was for things, 90% of the job quest was piss easy.

None you never asked <.< Most you bitch about patches and stuff just sayin.

It wasn't that XI job quests were hard or not, it was that XI job quests had a soul

Oh, I wasn't aware we needed to pick and ask the exact correct questions to get information from the devs.

How foolish of me.

Well that's how forums have been working so far. Reps answer to player questions in their respective forums. Hence why JP, FR or DE forums have different replies. Reps do not provide a 1:1 translation of all answers posted, if no player is asking the very same question. (exception with Yoshida's replies)

yeah i guess we'll get gear from 40 to 50 like FFXI af's, but i hope we're wrong and get all pieces as lvl 50 gear

You get what you bitch about that's all. Everyone here knows 98% of the info we get on the forums is the stuff we ask for.

Welp time to play the question game! EVERYONE MAKE A TOPIC ASKING A QUESTION NOW!

Something tells me that AF gear will involve the new dungeons. We know these dungeons are 45+, and the gear is 45+. I think that would be extremely smart, as it would encourage dungeon replay ability for people wanting to get what could be the best gear for grouping in the game.

Your sense of entitlement smells delicious.

the problem to me is not that we need to ask the correct questions. my problem is if the japanese ask a question they get a response from the dev staff then we should get a translation in the other language forums as well. if it wasn't for reinhart we would not know about half the stuff that has been responded on. i don't care if it was an english question that got answered or a jp question, but all players that are on the forums in any language should be able to see the question and answer translated to them.

You will. When they release the patch notes. The rest of the information is just a bonus.

I'm sure all of our replies are not translated to japanese though

Good evening! Regarding hardware dedicated to jobs, they will be accessible via quests from level 45 and beyond. It will be "certain" to get the equipment to and through these quests for the moment it is not yet expected to have hardware dedicated to jobs via the synthesis. More information about this equipment will arrive during the month February

---

Sometime next week I presume? since Mon- Wednesday is the final days of Feb. So expect something on the Lodestone Monday- Wednesday ( Monday Crossing Fingers)

my point is if the question has already been answered then should it really matter which group asked the question? we are all a part of the same game community.

that's my point though. if we ask a question and it gets answered it should get translated over there just like their questions should get translated over here. by translating the questions to the other languages it keeps from having the same question asked repeatedly. also the jp players get to talk and ask their questions and get direct responses from the dev staff.

while i would love to have that, if they take the same route they had in XI we will have quest to get our gear maybe the new dungeons will be involved by killing certain NM's or farming items to complete our quest, but i really hope they do the AF gear lvl50 not 40-50 although i have the feeling we'll get it like that 42-50

Jobs don't have a own level. They have the same level as the class. If you unlock it with 30 you get a job 30. If you unlock it with 50 you got a job 50.

I don't think, or rather don't want, the AF to work with the lvl50 dungeons (part of why I liked the sound of these dungeons, they are not 45+ like DH, Yoshi stated in the note that they are 50). They should not be there really. Cause think about it, I don't want to drag 3 ppl with me "minimum" to get into a dungeon to get my AF.

And sure, it'll work now, but what happens when all the 50s get their AF? Just like DH now, guess what? no one is doing it anymore. So for new players or someone who did not level all jobs to 50 now. They'll get stuck later with no one to help or even want to waste time doing those "dated" dungeon.

Sure SE are trying to make them more relevant with the new update by the hand over U/U items quest to get seals. but are they worthed? Are people gonna waste time handing those items for seals? aside from getting the achievement (if there is one) I dont see people repeating it since there is no guarantee you'll get an item. You better off doing caravan quests for seals. (of course that's based on speculation :), we don't know how those quests work yet)

It says 45+, so gear is most likely 50. But to be honest, 45 or 50 doesn't matter as long as stats are fine.

Level 30 Unlock Job 35 unlock JA or WS 40 unlock JA or WS 45 unlock JA or WS 50 unlock JA or WS / AF is what i'm guessing.

Unlocking the job isn't the tough part. Fully catching up is- and that's with the level 50 quest that gives the final job skill. Pretty sure the entire AF set is given with the lv 50 quest as well. They've said you can equip any gear the class can equip while on the job so until you finish the level 50 quest you won't have the AF gear.

That is what I've understood from the info we've gotten so far, both explicitly stated and more implicit wording.
