Gunbreaker starting level

[Elkanah]

Now how they added Red Mage and Samurai was really backwards. So both of these jobs start at level 50 in the Eorzea 2.0 areas, so if you don't have an expansion pack or haven't finished 2.0, they will be stuck at level 50.

DRK/AST/MCH Prerequisite:
-The player must have purchased the Heavensward expansion, and must have completed all of the Seventh Astral Era Quests up to Before the Dawn in order to unlock the city of Ishgard.


RDM and Samurai Prerequisite:
-The player must have purchased the Stormblood expansion, and also have Disciple of War or Magic (Lv. 50)


Buying the expansion for HeavensWard raised the cap to 60. Buying the expansion automatically raises the cap limit to 70 for StormBlood related content. So no, your misinformation is very much off with "being stuck at 50". You cannot unlock any of said jobs above unless you buy the expansion outright first. The update patch allowed you to PLAY with other players who had the job already, which didn't require anything else but updating your game and patch. But to UNLOCK said jobs, you needed to BUY the expansion. You couldn't just NOT have the expansion and be able to play them. That defeats the whole purpose of buying an expansion pack.
