Paladin job quest and my ruffled feathers

All the above information should help, but I also want to add another avenue that may help you find a linkshell. At the top of the Lodestone page is a "Community Search" option, clicking on the shield tab will help you look for Linkshells and you can filter by stuff like Language and Active Playtimes. A couple of LS's on my server have at the minimum stated their active playtimes so you can try doing that for your server and seeing if you get anything.

On cross-class abilities, your Gladiator can use any abilities that say "Required: Disciples of War", and your cross class slots go up as you increase in level. This is a major feature of the game and really opens up how you can approach solo and lowman fights. A good rule of thumb is to try out the various classes to around 10-16 not only to get a feel for what you like the best but also to expand your repertoire with various useful moves. You can check which Abilities are learned by what classes, at what level, and which are cross-class by looking at your actions menu.

Also, it was brought up but it should be reiterated: While the Gladiator class can use any of the available cross-class abilities it wants, Paladin can only use those learned by Conjurer and Marauder, so those are the two you will want to focus on if you stick with it.

Taika, thank you much. after i hamfisted my way through the skills and traits i saw you could click on the box AFTER choosing another class a person had been working on, glad it only took me a month plus to figure that out after asking for help....helluva tutorial this game has (sneer).

since i am on a low pop server at the late early morning and groups are a nogo i ended up *cough* creativly doing the level 35 pally quest and killed the 4 one at a time, at level 39, still needing to heal at my special spot, a place the npcs would not approach, after i downed the ranged blob the rest was fairly simple, though i feel dirty now (have to excuse me on the exploit), with the next quest Ajax or artux or whatever the flying imp was, i was able to solo it after reading the replies and got my healing in place, thanks again.

And yes on the beta thing thing, it was GW2. As much as i love the lore and story of FF, this game is really taxing without groups to help with things and if 2.0 doesnt do it, well, i know which game i will be playing next. Here is to hoping they get their collective act together in a huge huge way.

Again, ty for all the help folks. Now i only feel slightly stupid, down from alot stupid. Grin.

Weird, because the pally quest says i can ONLY use conj as the second part (why i leveled it up to 15) in the instruction explicitly, and now that i do have the pally job crystal selected i can use my glad skills and conj skills and bow skills (just experimenting) with my pally skills, pretty much everything, did that yesterday morning for a while, though all the pally skills are purely group oriented and pretty useless to someone trying to solo. the only thing i saw was when pally wasnt active the pally skills were gone, which again was a zero loss to me in my situation, no grouping equals not missing any pally skills. But since pally lets me use everything, including my Glad skills i leave it engaged.

You need level 30 Gladiator and level 15 Conjurer to unlock the PLD quest but when you have PLD (the job stone) equiped, you can only use Conjurer and Marauder skills (in addition to Paladin and Gladiator, of course).
