New to the game and need some help!

But you can buy a weapon and do it that way. You just can't save the gear set.

Unless they changed things from phase 3. You could certainly do it then.

Maybe I just phrased things poorly but you're not actually contradicting me. That's basically what I'm saying.

I'll test it tonight when I get home. I have a low-level character I can try it on.

Naberrie, that's actually incorrect - at the very start of the game until you've unlocked the class officially you cannot equip another class's weapon, even if it has a level 1 requirement, as you'll get an error that says something like 'unable to change class - requirements not met' or something.

1.0 characters who already had exp in classes when their characters were transferred into ARR could change class right at the start however (which is probably what you're referring to about 'phase 3'), but only to classes they already had exp in. If they hadn't leveled a certain class in 1.0 they couldn't switch to it until they did the level 10 class quest of whatever class they started ARR as and then unlocked the class at it's guild like a new player. New player characters however are different - the Armoury System is totally locked at the start and cannot change classes, which is what we're talking about.

This happened to me at the start of ARR, as my 1.0 character only had exp in GLA and CNJ, so I could only switch between those two classes at the start.
