Confused on buying the level boost and job boost not sure

[CryBloodwing]

I personally think it is best to get one character to 50 at least without a boost first. This is easiest as a healer or tank because you get instant dungeon queues. Then boost a DPS class to 60. However you will still need to complete the main story from where you left off.

I would strongly advise this because you need to learn your class. Bard is especially a strange one because it is DPS, but also supports the party.

And the game almost changes greatly after level 50. The amount and types of boss mechanics compared to the lower dungeons....

However you will need the job boost, not the base class. For example an archer would use the Bard boost.

Conjurer->White Mage
Arcanist-> Scholar or Summoner
Gladiator->Paladin
Warrior->Marauder
Thaumaturge-> Black Mage
Archer->Bard
Pugilist->Monk
Rogue->Ninja
Lancer->Dragoon

Black Knight, Samurai, Red Mage, and Astrologian don't have the base classes.

The Class Boost, Tales of Adventure, One Hero's Journey, levels one job to 60 and includes gear.
The Story Boost: Tales of Adventure, ARR and Heavensward auto complete all the story up to whichever one you choose. The ARR reborn one brings you to Heavensward which starts at lvl 50. If you choose Heavensward it completes the story missions to level 60 and lets you begin with Stormblood.
