History of the Gunner job.

Except the new jobs will have nothing to do at all with Limsa, but will be based in Ishgard instead. Exit musketeer, welcome new job

I know that Dark Knight will be after Ishgard, but the gunner job? Could you link the source?

You're being voluntarily blind here.

New city state, new jobs in it. 2 of them have been announced : a tank and a healer.

And that's not even considering the fact that Limsa has 3 classes already within its walls, just like Ul'dha and Gridania.

Musketeer in Limsa is only a relic of the past. Why can't people let that go away ? The new jobs will be related to the new city. Just like they should.

If any new job is to come in old cities, it won't be before a few patches

Why must you be so aggressive? I was genuinely curious if there was any specific announcement about the other new jobs coming all from Ishgard. From the sound of your answer, there really wasn't, so until we actually see what it is, your guess is as good as mine and as such I think I deserve the benefit of doubt without being attacked.

Either way, I have been longing for a gun class since 1.0, and so long as it will use a one-handed gun (like the Musketeers in Coral Tower) and not a shotgun, I'll be happy.

Not to be an ass but there is ZERO reason to assume any of the new jobs will come specifically from Ishgard. Considering that Ishgard is a holy city I find it incredibly unlikely that they train Dark Knights. It's more likely we'll get access to that job via a different faction entirely.

Not to mention the only portal to-from Ishgard is in a level 35+ zone.

Did they say you could unlock Dark Knight from Lv10? Because if it's Lv30 like every other Job, then getting to Ishgard to unlock it (or any other Job) is no harder than getting to the NPC to unlock Dragoon...

As for a Dark Knights Guild... I'm not sure why people keep bringing this up... We couldn't have Thief because a Thieves Guild made no sense apparently, but not every Job in the game even has a Guild... Point me to the Scholar, Summoner, Warrior, or Bards Guild, please. Even Dragoon... That's a Job given to a "chosen one", though that doesn't really work well given we can all unlock it. Still, lore wise Dragoon isn't part of a Guild, it's a title given to a chosen knight.

They could literally just plop some shady guy on the streets of Ishgard who teaches you the "forbidden secrets of a Dark Knight", and it would be no different than the Scholar, Summoner, or Warrior Job quests. Heck, Black Magic was supposed to be outlawed after the Fifth Umbral Era, yet nobody seems to mind that one NPC starts teaching us the ways of the Black Mage. Again. No Guild for Black Mage. Paladin and Monk are the most organized Jobs, and Ninja now I guess, though we only see the "Guild" for Paladin, with Monks and Ninjas being in places we cannot (yet) travel to.

Well, if you ignore airships, if you start the game in Gridania, the only way to unlock any of the classes in Limsa Lominsa or Ul'dah requires traveling through level 30+ zones (South Shroud and Eastern Thanalan).

But we don't have to ignore airships. If SE wants to base the new jobs in Ishgard, and they want level 10 players to be able to unlock these new jobs, all they have to do is provide airship service. Easy peasy - just talk to the Airship ticketer, grab your ticket to Ishgard, and off you go!

But those three city states have low level zones right outside their doors, unless you mean we would travel back and forth through airship between Ishgard and one of the city states, which I'd find extremely odd, might as well add the npc to the city state and cut off all traveling.

(but again this thread is about gunner, not DRK)
