Level 50....Gladiator?

[KraggyKor]

Ran Aurum Vale one time with an archer. Party asked them why they werent on bard, and they didnt even know there was a job system. Was kind of funny and sad at the same time.

Whilst it makes an amusing story and some people will feel good at laughing at a noob .. please remind where the GAME tells you about JOBS, as I don't recall an NPC with a quest which showed me where the Bard trainer was, nor for that matter the one for WHM.

The lv 19 story quest introduces you to melding.

Yes, but you don't get the Melding skill from it and when running through the main story I'd argue the vast majority hitting 19 on their first class will have the necessary DoH skill to get the quest that gives you that.
