Job Level 1?

[Nestama]

The level 60 rotation does change things up (I mis-typed 'until' as 'to'), though if you fumble with Enochian, then you're back to your peasant level 40 rotation.

And it always baffles me when I see a level 50+ BLM using a Fire III and Blizzard III spam rotation :U

i finished reading through all the replies just now, thank you all for the bolstering amount of input. /bow

i would like to make some closing remarks before heading out.

I said the "option" to pick what level you start at. say you want to start at 1, 30, or ,50.
there were quite a few of you that assumed i was suggesting that it would be mandatory.

I love the idea of letting the players who want to start at 50 do so, and i think a jump potion option to players who want to skip leveling would be great.

i also think players who level their class/job in full without jump potions should be rewarded for it. be it glam, items, minions or mounts.

another great idea i saw was the Jump back potion, a potion that sets a job to level 1 would be a nice option to us grind heavy players.

a few of you brought up the Jobs need to start at 30 and no less. mind you, in 5.0 the class system is being removed meaning starting level will be irrelevant.

finally, OMG i loved the comment about how you would rather level a job than gear. this is 100% accurate. some would even say that the real leveling
dosnt start till you are max. im not one of them though. i believe that the leveling process is important in making an all around better player.

alright, like i said before im heading back out now. thank you all for your replies you all brought many great thoughts and opinions to the table.

take care and have a wonderful day/night

I don't know how I feel about RedMage starting out at level 50... my hope would be it would open up at level 30, so those who are new and playing though ARR could switch over to Red Mage at that time, without the worry of having to complete ARR or hit level 50 before switching over.

I would absolutely love the option to start new jobs at level 1 instead of 30 or proposed 50. I need time to slowly learn the play style and abilities. Throwing all the available abilities at you at once is overwhelming. Especially since the jobs quests are all lore based and make no effort to try to teach the player anything, save for some of the ninja quests. For those who rather jump start off 30 or 50 that's fine, but as I said for us slower folks who enjoy the leveling process please allow us the chance to play from scratch.
