I have tried finding it, which is why I was asking for your source. The only thing that I was able to find was http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/commen...w_i_think_its/ (at the very bottom). I have seen nothing that indicantes Yoshi saying anything remotely specific about at what level the new jobs would start out on.

I could see it being from level 30. SCH was from level 30 and persons learned it quite fine.

HOWEVER, that means low level dungeons would see virtually 0 queues.

also guys where are the videos of those expansion jobs gameplay. i remember seeing darkknight and machinist but cant recall if there was a astrologian one. i cant find them anywhere over the web?

While I can't say for sure what SE has planned, I do know that the leveling system has a purpose, and that purpose is a good one. As tiresome as it is for an experienced player to be plunked into a level 18 dungeon and only have two primary skills to work with, for an INEXPERIENCED player, limiting you to those few skills is a godsend. How many of you have endured a low level dungeon where the Paladin assumes that Riot Blade must be better than Savage Blade because it's a higher level? A lot of you, I'd imagine. It takes time and experience to learn what skills are best when, not to mention dungeon enemies that are relatively gentle and forgiving. I shudder to imagine what the Riot Blade Paladin would have been like, dropped straight into WP or AK with a full set of abilities at their disposal...

I could maybe see an exception being made if the three new jobs could only be unlocked if you already have another job at level 50. By that time you've (hopefully) figured out the basics of what each job role can offer; you'll know what Enmity is all about, why MP and TP management is important, and so on and so forth. It is my understanding, though, that the new jobs will NOT have a level 50 unlock requirement...

I really hope it is level 1. I see no reason why they would automatically start you higher.

Maybe they will do it like this:
If a player has a level 50 character on his account, then they can start the new Job at level 30. But if a player is new or has still no level 50 on his account, then they will start the Job on level 1. Afcourse this will mean that SE has to make extra content for the newcomers who start the game with the new Jobs.

This is my suggestion, why not make it like this:
The player needs to reach level 30 to unlock the quests for the new Jobs. This way the new Jobs will start at level 30 like the Jobs of 2.0. SE doesnt need to make extra content, because every Dark Knight, Astro and Machinist will start at level 30. The only downside is, the level 15-30 dungeons will be empty.

I think since there's no starting class thank you SE that maybe they will at lest start at level 30 because I'm thinking you need to level at lest 1 or 2 jobs to 50 before you can unlock them.
