Class help

[sarm]

At the moment I am a conjurer, however once i hit max level and want to try out another class do i just visit the guild and begin leveling up that class like you would with a new character?

Should I level up all the classes I want to on one character? Or is it better creating an alt character and switch between the two depending on what I want to play?

I hope this made sense.

Thanks for the help

You're free to start working on any other classes once you open that option. I think its better to try to focus on similar classes/jobs as the gear can be used by them all which keeps inventory a bit easier to manage. I like making alts to try different combos and looks but will always have 1 job as the main focus for that character. Nothing wrong with sticking to 1 character though as you can do everything with 1. Figure out what you find enjoyable/comfortable and run with that.

Yup, just go to the guild of the next class you want to level. As a conjourer, when you get to level 30 you will have to level arcanist to level 15 in order to get the white Mage job. So you'll already have another class to level 15 anyway.

Plus once you get one class to 50 you get an EXP boost of I think it's 50 % to all other classes you want to level.

As for alts it's totally up to you, but since you can have all classes on one character, why wouldn't you?

I hope that helps.

As to how you start other classes, yes, you go to that class's guild and take a quest from the receptionist there that unlocks the class. (Once unlocked, you switch classes by switching your equipped weapon.) There's no reason to wait until maxing out your first, though. You can add additional classes any time after your level 10 class quest on your starting class. At the very least you should pick up Arcanist and Thaumaturge at some point, probably by the time you hit 30 as CNJ. In order to become a White Mage, you'll need both CNJ up to level 30 and ACN up to level 15. And White Mages can bring in cross-class skills from both ACN and THM.

As to whether you should add other classes as well, it's mostly personal preference. You do get a 50% XP bonus when leveling secondary classes (applies on any combat class that's lower level than your currently highest level combat class). That's mainly to help make up for the fact that your highest class is usually the one you do the main scenario quests with, so your others won't have as many quests to get XP from.

Plus once you get one class to 50 you get an EXP boost of I think it's 50 % to all other classes you want to level.

That doesn't require a level 50 class. It applies whenever your current (combat) class isn't your highest one. For instance, someone whose only classes are CNJ 17 / ACN 12 would have the 50% bonus as ACN.
