Correct.
I last logged out of 1.23 in full BLM Artifact armor, standing on the bridge for Gryphon's crossing, back in mid-2012.
When I logged back in, I had a lot of "dated" gear and some Mage's Gear (i52 set, I believe) equipped. My character was level 50. But I was still treated like I'd never cast Fire at anything in my life.
Also, fun note: That character is one of the rare BLM breed that has a level 0 ARC. 1.0 required a PGL, not an ARC for BLM's sub-job.
But ARR let me keep my job stone anyway.
Weird, huh?
