Please start the new jobs at level 1

[AreeyaJaidee]

What has been confirmed is Ishgard is locked behind the end of 2.55 story and the Job givers will be in the heavensward areas.

So why are people assuming the chance exists to "level" these new jobs? Has anyone considered this angle?

Seems kinda silly to ask for lvl 1 jobs when the information we have more so insinuates that the new jobs will be unlocks rather than classes.

Classes still exist peeps. Those are what you lvl, not jobs, until SE changes that (which they might, idk).

Would it still be as bad if they had a requirement for becoming the class like you need a WAR or PLD at X level to become a DRK? Then you would at least have tanking experience and all you would need to do is identify what emnity generating skills are and slap them in the same position as your old rotation. I actually would push for more requirements before starting them at 1. If it was a class, thats a different story but these are JOBS.

If the new jobs are locked behind the requirements like the old ones, I'd be perfectly fine with it, yes. Because then we'd know you'd at least have some experience in that field.

I agree, I think this makes the most sense and would address the only real concern with starting at 30 I have heard yet. Even if they started at level one, people would just FATE grind to 50 and still not know their class. NIN is proof of that.

Is that SEs translation? If so it means either classes are gone altogether (which is a bigger change than I expected) or SE is phasing them out (only 2.0 jobs require classes).

I'm going to guess that either its a typo/mistranslation or either of the two scenarios above.

This is what we need clarification on, SE has failed many times lately in typo/ translation department.

Jobs start at level 30. People just realizing this now? Games been out for a while

Umm that's not the point... The point is what classes are these jobs tied to (if any) since they require leveling.

SE should have explicitly explained this as it leaves much room for interpretation, thus you get threads like this.

This is not a typo or translation error. They have said in several interviews that they want to rework the armory system because the classes are a kind of unnecessary relic from 1.0 that carried over. Think of these as "advanced" jobs and i think you might be able to grasp what is happening better.

EDIT: they have not revealed what, if any, requirements will be needed for accepting the Job stone. Either they are working on it still or are withholding info for future reveals so they have something to talk about to keep the players engaged.

You seem to not be following information regarding the game too closely. Many of your questions have already been answered from Yoshi-P himself.

I still feel like people are looking a bit too deep into it. It's a separate class/job that has its own level and you probably change into it with a weapon.

Really, the job/classing/whatever thing is making for a lot more trouble than its worth just to keep ties to 1.0.

That sounds perfectly reasonable. Want to pick up DRK? You need to at least have gotten 30 levels of GLD/PLD or MRD/WAR. Have they said exactly what they're gating the jobs behind yet?

I mean, you'll still get a huge number of players who don't care, but it might cut the number a small bit.

They explained there's no base class. They're removing the classes from the equation since they currently serve no purpose. After 30, you never play your class again except for a challenge. You start Dark Knight, Astro, and Machinist at 30 and level them from there. It's pretty self explanatory, I'm honestly not sure why people are confused. You can think of them as classes that don't turn into jobs, if you'd like.
