30 hours later, Wish I could get a refund

[B_Nighteye]

Finally got my Arcanist (love it--want to be a Scholar) to 15, and decided to continue the main quest line (Been trying out different classes). From what I've read online, I knew I might have a bit of a wait as DPS, so I flew to Gardenia and became a Conjurer. Over the next two and a half hours, I leveled Con from 1 to 10 and completed my level 10 class quest without getting into that first dungeon. At this point, I guess I'll finish leveling my Con to 15 and try queuing as heals, which I'm supposing might be quicker.

Can I switch my Arcanist to healer role somehow?
How many more mandatory dungeons before level 30?
Would I better off continuing to level Con just for those dungeons?
Or can I become a Scholar, then queue for those earlier dungeons as a healer that way?


(On a completely different note: An NPC gave me a quest last night, and I completed the quest, but then he told me I wasn't high enough level to turn it in. WTH?)

The two healing jobs after level 30 are Scholar, and White Mage.

White Mage is unlocked when you have Conjurer to 30, and Arcanist to 15.

Scholar is unlocked when you have Arcanist to 30, and Conjurer to 15.

Prior to 30 Conjurer is the only healing class, but you did pick the right pair of classes.

Once you hit 30 you can switch back to Arcanist and become Scholar.

Sastasha, Tam-Tara, Copperbell, Toto-Rak, and Hauke are the storyline dungeons prior to 30.

I would still recommend finding a linkshell of story friendly folks who will run those dungeons. Then you don't have to worry about it so much. Just ask in shell for someone at each dungeon and wait until you get a group.

Also yes, NPC will sometimes give out quests locked to a certain level, before you are actually at that level, or if one of your classes is at that level. I know, it is a bit annoying.
