Why not an alt instead of moving jobs?

There are definitely more than 2 chars allowed with the basic sub. I have 4 right now and am allowed up to 8. You can just not have more than one on a single world.

Anyway, it’s definitly faster to level an alt job on a single character hands down no contest. Going through the msq multiple times is quite slow. For me, just continuing to do the highest level dungeon I can get into on a job seems pretty quick. Plus it’s just way more convenient not to have to do other things multiple times, like leveling beast tribes or leveling crafter gatherer classes if your into that.

Like I said, I have multiple chars, but it’s cerainly not for comvienence. It’s just because I want to be able to play as more than once race/look without going broke buying tons of fantasta every few days. If my character look was less important to me I’d sure save a ton of time.

This. Even on the free trial you're allowed to create those eight characters.



On the main discussion, it's overall more effective to keep everything on one character (shared equipment, money, luck with item drops, long-term achievements, mentor status requiring 1000 dungeon/trial runs completed) but from a character-building perspective I don't really like that my character has had to do a lot of classes that don't really fit her personality.

I'm playing through the story a second time with an alt, and this time I'm just focusing on a couple of classes that I do think suit that character.

I also just like having multiple characters - or rather, I've invented multiple characters so I want to play as all of them. I just wish the game made it easier to link up their achievements.
