Can Red Mage start at level 30?

Some people enjoy leveling and learning their jobs can we start at level 30.

These people need therapy.

Nah. Different people like different things.

I'd have expected new jobs to keep starting at 30, but I can understand where they're coming from here. 30-50 is a fairly unpleasant grind through really old content. And then 50-60 is a HUGE grind (same amount of exp as 1-50 remember). Bypassing one of those is actually fine with me, and I AM one of those people that enjoys leveling.

Personally I'm really looking forward to trying out RDM and I'd do it from 30 if I had to, but I'm fine with this too.

What I am kinda wondering though is whether or not I need to start farming poetics for level 50 int gear or if RDM will come with some kind of starter set. DRK, AST, and MCH didn't but those started much lower...

I expect HW levelling will get the same big xp boost that ARR levels get.

Wow, so mean.
