So, I was kinda debating this with myself last night assuming that the new jobs will start at 70 based on gunbreaker and dancer’s precedent, but that’s literally all that assumption was based on and to be honest starting at 70 potentially means that the new jobs essentially start their job questing experience with the ShB role quests… and that feels wrong.
What’s the consensus on this? Has there been an announcement? What does precedent tell us and will precedent be affected by the “role quest” direction of Shadowbringers? Do they skip the role quests and start at 70 anyway? They are “old content” as of EW, after all!
What do you think?
Likely starting level for EW jobs?

Reaper will start at lv70...we'll also have a increase of level cap from 80 to 90.
I understand why you feel like it's wrong, but i think we can only wait and see their approach to establish our learning curve and lore.
From 70 to 90 seems like a short time. -

The new jobs DNC and GNB started at 60, which is 10 levels behind the last expacs level cap.
Not for Endwalker the pattern continues and the new jobs will start at 70. -

Wish it was 30 so we could get story quests for them

They start at 70 but I wouldn't rule out them getting job quests to expand upon their lore even if they're starting in SHB level wise.

Its always 20 levels lower then the max level
So it will be 70. -
08-05-2021, 05:52 AMItMeThey have confirmed that, like with DNC and GNB, they will have 10 levels worth of job quests in 70-80.Quote:
