New to the game and need some help!

That last part's not true. You cannot simply get a weapon/tool for a new class and equip it until after you've unlocked that class. It's that initial quest at the class's guild that unlocks the class. (Even the starting weapons have a level 1 requirement, and until you've unlocked it, you're listed as level 0.)

he wasn't saying you can just equip a weapon before you officially join a guild, he clearly stated that in order to officially join a guild you need to speak to an npc at said guild! i don't think he mean't that you can just equid any weapon without first joining to the guild of said class!
