Will the 3 new classes get starting gear at 30?

[Sylve]

Personally I'm hoping we get a themed outfit for each Job.

With the existing classes, they start at level 1, so you can be naked or in racial gear and that'd be enough.
But starting at level 30, you cannot be naked and expect to solo properly. Considering you'll be jumping straight into Haukke Manor the instant you unlock it, imagine if 3 of your party members were nude but for the weapons?

No other class asks you to buy a whole set of gear just to be able to begin playing it.
If anything, we may just get a full set of vendor gear included in the opening quest that unlocks the job itself.

Everyone who start the new jobs have a lv 50 job already. So the player should have enough money to buy gear or he can farm gear from a lv 20-30 dungeon.
The themed outfits are the AF sets.

Rogue. The NPC warn you to have the right gear on if you don't want to stand around in underwear the moment you equip the weapon.

Jacke: Here, take these stabbers an' let's see how they look on ye. ...Just don't get so excited with yer new toys that ye forget to dress for the role. Ye'd be surprised at how many colts come back to me in their bloody smallclothes...

But all what you need to begin playing a class/job anyway is the weapon. And you get the first weapon fom the quests, yes.

Got all 3 sets of Brayflox gear saved up for that 32

the Infantry pants won't drop and since I don't have a tank/healer at that lvl.../cry

No, he makes a joke about adventurers returning to him in their skivvies (underwear) after initiating them into the Rogue Guild.
Being level 1, the only gear you CAN use is racial gear or bonus/vanity items.

Also, every single class gets a 'custom' chestpiece from their level 5 quests. Sure, in some cases its a recolor of existing stuff, but the Tank/DRG one is rather unique.
Nothing stopping them from making a unique themed set for getting us started.
Its nothing to do with having or not having gil, its about being able to start the job the moment you unlock, rather than gaining access, then going to the markets and trawling around for a suitable set of gear.

Edit: Also, i know for a fact that if the new jobs don't have a basic set given to them, the level 30 crafted gear is going to skyrocket in price for no reason other than profiteering.

Because people are known to seek out vendors for items right?
Oh wait. No, they just go to the market Board because its closer. Ever wondered why theres so much stuff on there that is cheaper on a vendor, yet make sales at triple the price?

I was about to add the "All Classes" (except those "All Classes" gear that go to DoH and DoL) gear to the AST job in the quote, but now I'm not sure.

Those are just general mage gear I don't know why don't they just call them Discipline of magic gear instead of letting all classes get them its not like any crafting or gathering or any melee class benefits from having them on

[Griffster]

that's a nice plan I'm saving mine for the rank up process will probably ask for insane amount of GC seals again

I hope they allow us to cash in the commemorative coin for seals like in 1.0.

I kept it just for that

Had to actually check what that item was I would assume they will let you do it if it still works in game where it gives 30k seals I doubt they would remove them

Then it is the players choice to buy from the MB. Someone who finished the 2.55 storyline should know that NPCs exist that sell (normal quality) gears.
