How is it possible?

^^^^ This. And in a couple weeks it will take another couple days of playing to get 105+.

Already going to start having to buy non BiS slots for classes. (war, monk, smn, blm, and sch)

The ONLY way it is possible to have 105+ as a fresh 50 after a couple of days is to have another class at 50 that has set up the gear for you weeks in advance. And even then if that gear-set was i90+ from the get go, gaining that other 10+ ilvl will take at least a week if you don't have the soldiery already saved up to dump on gear.

That's using a term incorrectly then if you are referring to gear and a class. I'm with the understanding that there was a time people would play one role and master it and as a result, call that their main.

Some people have more time than others and master more than one role, it's as simple as that. Who put you in charge of how the word should be correctly used anyways?

Logic? Not trying to be offensive, just looking for clarity

I'm playing a warrior, he is my main. All content he is first priority thus making him a main class.

Or you can play several roles and master all the classes.

While people typically only have one "main" class for raiding, some groups are flexible and they don't always go as the same roles. There are many people with equally high item levels on their jobs and have mastered how to play them.

I have one character that is mostly blm main. I have a second character that has a brd as main and another character with the "main" as DRG. Not really hard to have multiple "main" characters and yes I've got to end game 3 times

I'm used to FFXI job system, I think the FFXIV job system can be a little mind boggling *pats back* I feel your pain!

[Nutz]

Eh, sometimes people switch back and forth depending on content. Alts get better geared than mains for one reason or another and people have '2 mains' or they try to keep 2 classes equally geared and played for one reason or another. I had a friend who hit 50 on PLD and BRD (as his first 2 jobs to 50) within a day or so of each other because he kept switching back and forth while going through the main scenario.

[Kewitt]

2 Characters you play the same amount. regradless of gear or level. you play both equally.

It's like saying you have a favorite child, Which you can't really.


On this note, FFXIV being able to play all jobs on one character really limits the chances of this.

[Kat_Manx]

Yeah I do consider only one job a main job myself like even if you leveled the two tank jobs that share gear a lot you'd still just play the other one better, or prefer it, or feel more comfortable with it, you know? But alas if someone DOES like both, guess they can main both.

Just make sure someone doesn't start claiming they main every job and then lot everything when someone else in your raid group might need it more. :O

With hitting 50 yesterday, i now have 6 Classes geared up well for at least T1-5... my PLD could do SCoB 1+2 as well, but we have enough well geared Tanks, so no need to take him there...

but it´s really funny, had BLM and WHM properly geared, with the SCH/SMN hitting 50, whoosh, their gearlevel jumped by 100% ^^ (shared Gear is nice)

BLM i101, SMN i100, i92 PLD, i88 BRD, SCH and WHM around 85 (not quite sure)....

what really sticks you to your main is the Zodiac Weapon Quest... i will do this at my Main Class and never ever again (probably if some ATMA´s wash up, Myth come raining from the sky, and Alex are buyable by NPC´s)...

Hard one comes now as i go for Melee Classes.. but Monk tends to be funny (remembering where to stand when is quite confusing atm.. but slowly i get the point ^^)
