Fairly New, Some Questions~

[nostrade]

2) I can use cure and protect on my lancer but if I switch to Dragoon I cannot anymore. My question is: Can Jobs/Advanced Classes only use cross class skills from their required classes (for Example a Dragoon can only use Lancer and Marauder Skills?). It's the only thing I can think of since to me there is no real difference between Lancer and Dragoon other than more skills.

3) Recommended ways to make gil?

Had more to say about each question but these forums have real low character limits lol

2. jobs can only cross 5 skill from 2 classes, DRG can use marauder (MRD) and pugilist (PGL) skill

3. never pick gear reward from quest, always pick allagan bronze/silver/gold

2) Oh, I see. I was hoping for protect and cure for soloing since I just like to log in an goof off sometimes. Plus I figured it would help since this is my first character.

3) Ah, I've been choosing almost nothing but armor rewards, I get the feeling If I worked on crafting like I should have then I would have had free armor lolz. No worries though I stopped lvling entirely to get my crafting caught up. Only reason I even made another level is from FATEs and Hunt logs for company seals to work on my ranking there too. I had lots of fun but more fun will have to wait for now.

2. its okay while leveling it doesnt really matter, using soulstone job give you a bit extra stats and some exlusive job skill. Pretty sure the lvl 30 skill isnt really that great

3. crafting will cost you a lot of gil and on my server it doesnt really sell right now :/ dungeon gear is better but theres RNG, GC gear reward is on par with crafted gear i guess.
a suggestion, get all your DoH to level 15, the cross skill really helps and you will feel awesome when you are wearing your own crafted high quality gear

And does this mean relying on crafting as a means of income is pointless?

right now it is pointless, but who knows what future update will bring? and yes, do not teleport too much if you want to save some money, walk everywhere

Crafting your own HQ gear COSTS gil, it does not generate gil. Also, the Materia is the only thing that makes crafted gear better than darklight, and getting good materia melds will also cost you a lot of gil. Darklight and CT gear is more than enough for starting the endgame.

Well you certainly aren't implying that they should craft themselves HQ LEVELING gear are you? Because that would be terrible advice to a new player. Ignore all leveling gear and you will do fine going from 1-50 with just quest rewards/the occasional dungeon loot. Worse case scenario you can buy a piece you need from the vendor or from the marketboard. Do not bother leveling up your crafting professions to craft yourself any gear, leveling or endgame.

i think i did say dungeon gear is better ? and she also said that she want to craft her own gear, which is pretty cheap and she can easily gather them all by herself
first time i leveled my toon, i leveled both armorer, miner and marauder crafted all the leveling gear by myself and at lvl 50 i still have a lot of gil

Any player is much better off just focusing on reaching Lv50 first by completing the main scenario quests and the side quests, and you do not need any crafted gear for that whatsoever.

are you saying everyone should be a robot and just quickly ASAP get to 50 ? the way people enjoying the game is different to each other

You can farm all the materials, including the shards, for every synth if you put in the effort. Crafting costs you nothing that way; and it will make you money if you do leves with things you gather yourself.

Crafting costs you either gil, or time, which is gil. Any player is much better off just focusing on reaching Lv50 first by completing the main scenario quests and the side quests, and you do not need any crafted gear for that whatsoever.

You're nothing if not consistent... Back on point; I too made my own gear as I leveled, weapons, and armor, and gathered it all myself. It was a great time. This whole "Time is money" in a game which designed as a way to pass time is flat out silly. Not everyone wants to rush one job to fifty so they can grind the same 2 dungeons over and over and over and over and over and over.... 1k character limit, I should stop there.

Any player is much better off enjoying the game instead of treating it like a second job, unless that's what gets you off.
