Sooo what about leveling a second class to 60?

[ZDamned]

Did you just decide to ignore what I said?

I had a 59 Paladin. My friend had a 60 White Mage.
We changed to Warriors. Both of us were level 50 on warrior.
We did a fate, and gained 14,000 EXP.
What am I missing here?

I got my Dragoon to 53 and decided to change to Machinist, and I got increased experience from the FATEs.

Because you both have the Armory Bonus because you both have Jobs that are higher level than your 50s.
That's all it takes for the Armory Bonus to activate. Being 60 is meaningless.

I don't know if I'm not explaining this well or something.
The Armory Bonus simply buffs every Job lower than your highest level.
You will both get the Armory bonus at 50, because you both have Jobs that are already higher.
It doesn't matter if his is 59 and yours is 60.

You would only see a difference in xp if you killed something at 59 (when that is your highest) and he killed the same thing.
If you both switch to lower Jobs, you both have the bonus.

I also said in my first explanation that I tested with my 59 paladin as well. SAME EXP. The bonus is a Myth.

I just tested it.
I switched to DRG that's at 50 and got an additional 50% xp.
Here is a picture.

As you can see it says lancer experience first at 481 (+115%) experience points.
The second gain was 101 (+60%) on my rogue which is my highest.
The Heat of Battle and full rested experience accounts for the +60% on my rogue.

My 50 lancer gained +115% which would be the 60% from heat and rested, as well as +50% armory bonus.
There's a extra 5% in there for some reason, but the armory bonus is clearly there.

From the patch notes:

The armoury bonus when below level 50 has been increased to a 100% increase in experience points gained.
From level 50 onward, the armoury bonus is a 50% increase in experience points gained.

There is nothing anywhere about a special bonus for having a level 60 job.
