Leveling Question

[Mikey305]

Thank you so much!

Okay so to be clear My job levels at same rate my base class does... my base Class would be my "main" in this case it would be CNJ. correct?

So it would level at the rate that i level my CNJ not my second class correct?

Correct. Once you unlock White Mage, your White Mage level will always be the same as your Conjurer level, because a White Mage is really just a specialized type of Conjurer. This also means WHM has all of your CNJ skills and traits in addition to job-specific WHM ones.

White Mage's secondary class is Arcanist, meaning that's the one that has to be at least level 15 in order to unlock WHM, but using ACN skills as a WHM requires the use of cross-class skill slots, and you don't have access to ACN traits.

Thaumaturge is an optional class. You can unlock WHM without it, but it's useful to level because WHM can also bring in cross-class skills from THM (one of which in particular, Swiftcast, is so highly useful that it's regarded as nearly essential for high-level play).

CNJ, ACN, and THM are each base classes, so they each level separately from the others.

Yes. Let's do specifics using CNJ, ACN, and WHM.

You level CNJ to 30 picking up ~15 bonus attribute points. Those probably go mostly into Mind and maybe Piety.
Now you swap to ACN. ACN starts at level 1 and your stats reset to the lvl 1 ACN stats (modified for race). You level ACN up to 15 earning a few bonus points and putting them wherever.
Now you swap back to CNJ. Your stats and everything are just as they were before but now you can pick up the WHM quest.
You do the WHM quest and get the soulstone. You are now a level 30 WHM with the same stat allocation as you have for CNJ.
You run around as WHM and get up to level 37. Then you unequip the soulstone. Now you are a level 37 CNJ.
You run around as CNJ for a bit more and get up to level 42. Then you reequip the soulstone. You are now a level 42 WHM.
You swap back to ACN and power grind it to level 50! You then reequip your CNJ weapon and WHM soulstone. You are still a level 42 WHM.

thanks you 2.... here's a follow up to you guys posts....

okay and being 50 is where end game raids start right? so I would have to have a job at 50 to be raiding in end game stuff? Also my job is 50 my base class is 50... each job has a base class so theoretically if i level each job to 50 than all my class would be 50 at some point(i know that would take a long long long time)

Correct. When you level as a job it raises the base class. If you level all the jobs to 50 then you would have all the base classes at 50 as well.
