What level should the new jobs start at?

[Mirakumi]

So considering in the new expansion, Storm Blood that new jobs coming... (The most hinted at so far being Red Mage after Yoshi's shirt hint drops of 007 being MCH and Batman being DRK. )

What Level do you think they will start at?

Considering Jobs start at 30~ this might be a reoccurring theme considering SCH/ SMN, DRK, MCH, and AST.

So do you think this will continue to be the case once Storm Blood hits?

I think they may all be at 30 and are not going back to the start from level one. Also new level cap so that would be a looong grind from 1-70, lol

Yup likely will continue to be lvl 30, the level all the classes are able to acquire their job crystal.

[KrenianKandos]

If their idea is to ultimately get rid of the 1-30 portion and only have jobs and not classes anymore at some point, then it would make sense that the starting level for all future classes be 30. That's where the jobs start for every other class so it makes the most sense.

Money's on 30.

[Jandor]

Jobs should start at 30.

If they are associated with a class the class should start at 1.

Considering New Expansions always bring an influx of new players there is a chance that 1-70 would not be as long as you'd expect.
Especially when you can queue almost instantly with a heal or tank.

But I would like it to be 30 then have the new jobs be around 60~.

They should be accessible at the start and instead of just "extra jobs" they should be called "advanced jobs" they should start at 30 and require two minimum jobs to be unlocked. WHM and BLM for RDM, two other fundamentally weird off role jobs for SAM.(DRG and WAR my pick) And if theirs a third, (15 gld rdm, 15 mnk sam) same thing.

30 yea 30 is good

Why is smn/sch being lumped in with the jobs aded during HW. You know they were around since 2.0.

In my personally opinion, the jobs should start at level 1, which also should have been the case for the Heavensward jobs. However, in terms of what will probably happen, it's safe to expect that the new jobs will start at level 30 since that is what Heavensward has established.

If anyone is wondering why I think that the jobs should start at level 1 as opposed to level 30 because "that's when all jobs start" it is for a very simple reason. Speaking in the context of pre-Heavensward, it is indeed true that jobs began at level 30, but it was also true that when beginning your training with a new weapon type (or skill set) you did so from level 1. Heavensward broke that rule, letting players jump straight to level 30 with an unfamiliar weapon. If that rule is one that can be broken then so can the rule about jobs starting at level 30.
