New Jobs Starting Level Discussion

[Snugglebutt]

I am betting you can level (any) class to 30 and then the new jobs becomes unlocked, the jobs are not linked to previous classes because those classes have a lot of incompatible skill sets with the new jobs and as such my guess is once unlocked at 30 from the relevant job NPC it will then give you a basic gear set including weapon to use with the new job and then you embark on a series of job related quests which both teach and give you job skills to replace previous class ones that get removed after unlock and equip the new job stone. There is no new classes to go with the new jobs, the previous classes are just going to be used to unlock it at 30 so makes sense that once unlocked your previous skill sets are replaced by job specific ones.

Your previous class skills will cease to exist after unlocked and equip the job stone is my guess, they get erased and replaced by new job ones which are both gained and learned through job NPC quests once unlocked. Included with that unlock would be some basic starter skills opened up to you immediately after unlocking that job on that character through that NPC. I would be very surprised if I am not close in my theory of what will happen. You wont be using any previous class skills I am guessing after unlocking/equipping the new job except those which are cross class type allowed on the new job (maybe) and skills which pick up and obtain from the job NPC(s) from that stage up until level cap probably through a series of teaching quests.

I do not think will only be given one new skill at 30 once unlock the job and 1 new one every 5 levels, it is far more likely it will remove all previous class skills when equip the stone since the new jobs are not very compatible with the old classes which you used to level and unlock the job and you will be given a few job skills to start with and more from the job NPC through job training quests to bring it up to par with average amount of skills the old class system used. A lot of this is hypothetical but the hypothesis is based on known facts then extrapolated. I might not be right about everything but I doubt I will be far off the mark.

The leveling of 1-30 will only really impact new players making new characters though since you could just use your pre-existing characters which have already surpassed the level requirement of 30 to unlock and make one of the new jobs on that character regardless of which classes you leveled past 30 on that pre-existing character in my opinion since if recall they said want to move away from the class system on these new jobs in which case any class being used to unlock is fine, they just need to erase and replace the old class skills with new job ones when equip the stone using methods like I described above in order to have the old class not impact the new job.
