Hi guys! so im new here. i have only played for about 10 hours or so and my main character is a level 20 Thaumaturge and i want to be a black mage. so my problem is this. i have done my research and read a lot of articles that i have to be a level 30 THM and a level 15 ARC for me to become a black mage and that i only have to equip a bow to level up as an archer but i can not equip a bow because it has a class requirement of ARC or BRD and to be a level 1 archer requirement and im currently a level 0 archer based on the character menu.

btw, the bow that i have has an x mark on it's icon and all the guides i can search in google are from the year 2014 to 2015 nothing from 2016 or 2017. maybe something has changed? idk..
