Returning Player - Few Questions

[Niwashi]

I have a few 50 classes but now I see there are jobs (I did the quest to be able to join different guilds). However, I'm not sure what is the best way to level new classes/jobs.

Jobs have the level of their primary class, so for instance as a 50 GLD / 26 CNJ, you can take the Paladin quest and immediately be a level 50 PLD. You'd then want to take the level 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 PLD quests to catch up on job skills and get your Artifact gear, but you wouldn't have to level it up again.

From Lodestone, it looks like you've got quite a few of your classes leveled up, so I'd recommend starting by going around to all of the class guilds, joining each of them and unlocking all the jobs that you already qualify for. (If Lodestone is right, you already qualify for Paladin, Monk, Dragoon, Bard, and Black Mage.) Catch up on class/job quests up to the level you're at in each one, and then use your lowest level class to work through the 2.0 Main Scenario Quests.

ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Jobs Shows which classes are involved in unlocking and supporting each job.
Oh, and ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Guide:Progression_and_Level_Locked_Content lists other things you may want to unlock (though I'm not sure which of those you'd already have as a returning 1.0 player).
Both those sites have plenty of other useful stuff as well, if you browse around them a bit.



As for transfering extra gil-equivalent items, making an alt to check the Market Board on your destination server, and comparing its items to your local one is the most effective at having the most gil transfer with you.

But if you instead want the quick and simple way of transfering a significant portion (though not necessarily the most possible), Allagan coins (Allagan Bronze Piece, Tin Piece, Silver Piece, Gold Piece, etc.) are a safe bet, because their real use is to sell to NPC merchants for gil, so they have a significant guaranteed value in that NPC price, though you might have to pay a bit of a premium above that to buy them off the MB.
