Devs, please make job crystals in lv 31+ content mandatory.

I've been playing since ARR and have countless thousands of dungeon runs across 8 different characters. I have never seen this. Not once. I don't think this is even worth the time for the devs to put in the effort to fix it because it isn't an actual problem.

If they do fix it, okay great. But if you had asked me if it was even possible I would have guessed no.

Yeah, the only time I've seen it is in borderline content like within a few levels of 30. Not saying it doesn't happen but, like a lot of the behaviour/issues that get complained about here on the forums, it really doesn't happen anywhere near as often as some people claim it does.

I agree. The moment someone's eligible to use a job crystal, it should be required in dungeons and auto-equipped. If they don't have it, they'll be ineligible to queue until they do.

Who knows, maybe this will cut down on bots too?

Job crystals should just be removed altogether. They are a waste of inventory space and overcomplicate gear/job swaps.

They can still exist in the lore and be "autoequipped" per job, but keeping them as an item is quite dumb to me.

Another one of these threads again. Class-only things were fun back in HW, when the cross-class system existed, things like A12 Savage was cleared with no job stones and no echo. But since that was pulled out, no one really does anything anymore. Neutering the cross-class system and making role-only skills was really the final nail in the coffin they had to do.

It would cost a lot of resources to remove the class-system completely from the game. It's not just about your measly job stones, it would be rewriting a lot of ARR system and quests. None of this amounts to being worth the time and effort compared to say graphics and UI updates. Basically they made a way forward that all new jobs don't have class skills, and no cross-class, only role skills.

Is this a normal occurance though? I've been playing for years now and I've - never - seen anyone being a class instead of a job outside of being sprouts in an early dungeon.

TBH it's pretty minor, but I'm more bothered by the lack of a defined purpose for Classes nowadays, it being only relevant for a tiny fraction of the game. They lost their purpose as soon as SB came in with role action consolidation.

normal or not it should still be adressed. its not like flaws should be kept because theyre uncommon.

Just do away with job crystals. It's obvious that the devs want to simplify classes to such a degree some become overly simplified, why allow a pitfall like job crystals to get in the way?

ok. what do we do about arcanist?

Shhh, it doesn't fit their bad narrative.

Job crystals are forever, I don't think they are going to get reworked it would be to messy. People are just going to have to be inconvenienced that some players might run dungeons without or forget to equip them, mentors could make note to tell sprouts about it and inform them once in awhile. It would be nice if they added a more of a quality of life instructions toward the importance of obtaining your Job crystal.
