[dev1033] Ideas for a Two-Tier Class System: Jobs on Top of Weapon Specializations

[Cairdeas]

So basically, you would be, say, a WHM level 1 on top of a CON level 30 and you level both at the same time, if I understand well. That sounds good.

Sounds kind of similar to the job/subjob system from XI where whatever the job you add to your basic class you get a bonus, but you get better bonuses with specific combination.

I think that the system proposed here, however, provides more flexibility and customization than the subjob system.
Also, it would be nice to level both your class and job at the same time instead of dropping everything and taking a level 1 job to 37 just because you need it as a sub but don't really want to play it as a main.

You would be leveling both at the same time if you were performing tasks that granted you that Job Points or Skill Points. As they would be mutually exclusive.

Also jobs would not need to go to 50. 10 could easily be the cap and once you got certain ones to 5 and then 10 you unlocked extra ones.

Also unlike the Job/Subjob system your Job and Class are on the same playing field, you don't get your power cut in half because one is to low. IE just because your Job level is too low your class isn't cut in half like it was in XI.

Yeah I like that.
Like I said earlier there could a combination of grinding and questing to rank up your job, a little bit like the Maat quests from XI that allowed you to level an extra 5 but you needed to grind exp in between quests.

I'm not sure about them being mutually exclusive. Maybe it could work like exp vs merit points, or just be ranked up by doing completely different things, but I think I would like to be able to rank both of them up at the same time.

But at this point its just mechanistic the general idea is here.

If a system similar to that is implemented, I know it would be enough for me to play quite a bit regardless of quests or missions just because there would be so much goal oriented leveling.
