What should my role be in dungeons and quests...?

Great advice everyone! Ok this is gonna be a dumb question, but how do I unlock warrior? And once I do I'll be level 1? So then I have to buy all new gear or just new weapons? Thanks a lot everyone!

Level Gladiator to level 15 and do your class quests at the Marauder guild. Eventually they'll send you to another NPC in Eastern La Noscea to unlock the WAR job. Jobs are just a specialization of your class so they remain the same level as your class, and for the most part your gear will carry over. (this only really changes in the later levels when you get job specific gear)

Or rather how do I unlock gladiator to get warrior?

As a Warrior, you'll be the same level as you are as a Marauder. You'll also still have all your MRD skills and traits, and be able to equip anything a MRD can. That's because a WAR is really just a specialist type of MRD, and all XP earned as either one advances your MRD level.

If you mean as a Gladiator, however, then yes, when you unlock GLD, you'll be level 1 and will need level 1 equipment. The quest unlocking the GLD class will also provide your first level 1 sword, but you'll need armor that can be worn at level 1. (If you no longer have your starting equipment, there's a vendor in each of the three starting cities that sells copies of those race-specific starter items. In Ul'dah he's near the Delivery Moogle and that trio of dancing Mi'quote girls.)

Awesome, I played for about 45 minutes so far and I'm sitting on level 8 gladiator. So my plan is to go to 15 and go warrior it up! You guys helped a whole lot. Oh I meant to say, I haven't seen a whole lot of quests for gladiator, just one from the guild leader is all, I'm having to fight monsters to get exp, taking longer.
