Creating a rogue

[Fyrehoof]

Ok I have seen in a couple threads that there are conditions to be met to play a rogue. Nothing all that specific about the class tho if someone could shed a little light it would be greatly appreciated Do you start a char and in turn get to transform that char at some point into the rogue you wanted to start with? What race/class would you suggest do use as a rogue? High agility one would think? Any tips welcomed thanks folks.

To become Rogue, it's the same as any other class, you just do your level 10 class quest and it gives you the ability to pick up other classes after that. Only difference is, you can't start as a Rogue.

The Rogue's guild is in Limsa Lominsa, so for the quickest access, you may want to start with one of the Lominsan classes (Marauder or Arcanist). Ideally, I would just start with a Pugilist in Ul'dah, get to level 15, gain access to other cities, go to Limsa and switch over to Rogue. Since you'll need level 15 Pugilist for Ninja job anyway, that's the most time efficient way.

As far as the race goes, it is very negligible. Just go with what you like best.

Ok great thank you that is what I was looking for.

The only difference is that you can't *start* as a Rogue. Becoming a Rogue is largely the same as changing to any of the other classes once you hit level 10 in the class you start as (which would be simplest if it were Arcanist or Marauder, since then you'd already be in Limsa and you don't get airship travel until some levels later. Personally, I'd recommend Arcanist, because then you'll have a heal spell).
