New Jobs Starting Level Discussion

[Rahsch]

Hello, I'd like to give my thoughts of the level that the 3 new jobs (Dark Knight, Astrologian, & Machinist) would start at. I would honestly say after thinking about it, it would have to be lv15.

Why you say? Because duty finder unlocks at lv15. If they started at lv30 and wanted to do older content they wouldn't be able to because their skills would be locked due to not being at the of maximum lev set for the instance.

Unless they were to rework some things for these 3 new jobs but I highly doubt it. What are your thoughts and opinions on the matter?

i highly doubt ast drk and mch are going to start at a level higher than 1 without the appropriate number of actions for that level

Yea Yoshi-P did say they aren't starting at lv1 but I know we are still waiting for more information cause this is the first time they are doing this without a base class.

I doubt they would be locked out like that. They could easily work similar to Scholar which has job specific (pet) actions available before level 30.

Would prefer it if the jobs started at level 1 personally. I just like that feeling of leveling from a weakling to a proud warrior.

This would be the case if the new jobs only had 5 actions all together, which were what we currently call Job actions. Whilst they won't have a base class, they'll still have the same number of actions as other classes/jobs that range from level 1 to 60. It would be as if Gladiator or Lancer never existed as classes and instead it was just Paladin and Dragoon from level 1, and then you gained special/extra skills from Lv30. For all intents outside of those extra skills, a Paladin is a Gladiator and a Dragoon is a Lancer.

I don't see a point in giving special levelling priority to the new jobs. For me, half the fun in it was levelling up my character from level 1, so that each new skill learned was something new and unique to play with. Getting it all at once is a bit like paying someone else to play the game for you.

Still, soon I'll have my hands full capping each and every one of my jobs to level 60. I'm sure I'll get around to levelling Astrologian sometime after all that.

Believe they said you needed a job to unlock job so any job at 30 so new players couldn't even play these new jobs out the bat. They need at less some job unlocked.

So sense it's like that I think they are starting at 30.

There's a lot of conflicting information about this among various interviews. Some have said they're not starting at level 1 - some have said they are.

Personally, I would not mind a handful of levels getting cut out early, because the early levels are just a really boring pain to me... but at the same time I think the last thing anyone wants is to run into a level 30 fresh Dark Knight in Haukke Manor who has literally no idea still what enmity generation is and how they should be playing their class to tank or what even a tank does.

I would like them to start at 15! That way you can wear the smexy lvl 15 dungeon armor AND the smexy lvl 32 armor!
