Capped [Class] =/= Capped [Job]

[NoctisUmbra]

yes, Lvl 50 PLD = Lvl 50 GLD is what i understood also, but i also thought there was like quests to learn the abilities for the jobs only. so, yes, you will be a lvl 50 pld, but you will need to do the 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 pld quests to get those abilities. granted as a r50 those low level quests will likely be very simple to complete.

I would expect you to have to be on the Job while doing those quests. Now, bear in mind the jobs are not meant to be successful in solo play.

I imagine the quest tasks being more about completing certain objectives on the job, rather than a simple fight. If it becomes more like that then the quests will be much more interesting than a simple 'rip through it on your lv50' endeavor.

Examples:

Paladin: Survive for X minutes.
WHM: Keep an ally alive for Y minutes.

Another possibility is having the quest difficulty scale based on the actual level of the player entering.
