TC some corrections or added info
Q2: I often see players on the same class as myself use skills from other classes, how are they able to do this?


A: Certain skills are listed as cross-class, check skill description which ones. These skills are equip-able on all base classes. You get 1 equip slot for every 5 levels. For Jobs, they are restricted to 2 class only plus your 1st 5 skill slots are taken up with your Job skills, that are learned as you do your job quests.


Job List:
Warrior: lvl 30 Marauder, lvl 15 Gladiator. Can use cross-class from sub and Pugilist

Paladin: lvl 30 Gladiator, lvl 15 Conjurer. Can use cross-class from sub and Marauder

Monk: lvl 30 Pugilist, lvl 15 Lancer. Can use cross-class from sub and Marauder

Dragoon: lvl 30 Lancer, lvl 15 Marauder. Can use cross-class from sub and Pugilist

Bard: lvl 30 Archer, lvl 15 Pugilist. Can use cross-class from sub and Lancer

White mage: lvl 30 Conjurer, lvl 15 Arcanist. Can use cross-class from sub and Thaumaturge

Black mage: lvl 30 Thaumaturge, lvl 15 Archer. Can use cross-class from sub and Arcanist

Summoner: lvl 30 Arcanist, lvl 15 Thaumaturge. Can use cross-class from sub and Archer

Scholar: lvl 30 Arcanist, lvl 15 Conjurer. Can use cross-class from sub and Thaumaturge

This is a great guide for beginners but I don't think tanks should put points into Str over Vit. There are 2 reasons:
1. Vitality will help you more as a tank. Your job as a tank is to take hits, not DPS.
2. Strength increases your DPS at thresholds. So if you only put 5 points in strength but need 20 strength to get to the next threshold, those points are wasted.

Putting points into the right places isn't crucial if you have gear to make up for it but 30 points of vitality is a difference of 450 HP.

Points for putting some in Str.
1. STR effects your damage reduction from parry/block in addition to higher attack damage
2. The extra damage will help you tank better during early levels by helping hold the Hate with your higher damage output.
3. The current threshold for maxing you damage reduction with coil/myth gear is 9 bonus points in STR.
4. These points can be respec-ed easily with an item that cost 10,000 seals at your GC. There not much to spend your seals on unless your doing crafting, but even then as long as you do the daily GC supply/provision for all the gathering/crafting class you will get enough seal to cover your xp manual costs.
