Requesting Information on Jobs: Preparing for 1.21

**JustMy2Cents** · 03-01-2012 12:54 PM

Somebody once told me that arguing in a public blog is like competing in the special olympics.

You may have won the gold medal, but you're still a retard.

Let's just get along and contribute to the actual thread topic...

So psyched for 1.21
I think to even the AF's to current gear doing an AF2 style "bonus to job skills" over higher stats would be the way to go
or even unobtainable stats like "+50% block rate" (for PLD) or "+20% cure" (for WHM)
well 10 more days and we'll know right?

then you kill mobs for a coffer key, open your coffer, completed set.
Go to dynamis, kill shit, walk out with every job AF most likely (if you actually play you'd know they skyrocketed drop rates on this, even on Duelist Chapeaus and Ass Gauntlets, I've floored 20 of them in one run alone.)

Both of these methods was pretty shitty, If you don't think sitting there killing the same mobs for a key for a few hrs wasn't shitty then idk <.<. Also having Some gear in dyna being so rare that it could take up to a year to get is Shitty no matter how you look at it PLD AF2 body took me a year to get because of the stupid 1% drop rate and the few mobs that would drop it. Dyna could support 48 ppl i think, and only 4-6 of them go home with something to show yup that's great design right there ^_^. Shame i got my Shield to stage 4 before i got an PLD AF2 body. Now if you went to Dyna for CoR, SCH, BLU, DNC, and PUP AF rained like candy for them.

Trust me i played XI for 7 years and loved but, I'm not gonna pretend that all their content was done correctly.

Hence why FFXIV was the perfect opportunity to take what works and fixed what was wrong with it. None of the content was done perfectly due to one issue or another, but the concepts of it were perfect.

She's saying that artifact armor will be better than current crafted gear with multiple materia on it, but in future they will make new crafted gears that are better than artifact armor if you put multiple materia on it.

That was my other guess based on Rein's translation as well.

I was able to sneak a peek at the documents regarding the upcoming job system announcement coming next week and I smuggled out a lil' morsel that you might be interested in. I figure, if you all knew what classes were required for each job, you could set a goal to raise them up over the weekend (if you're like Camate who was all "omg Bayohne, help me level up my lancer tomorrow!"...).

Take a gander at the requirements to begin the quests to unlock the jobs... (don't tell Yoshi-P I showed you!)

Job Name	Requirements
Paladin	Gladiator lvl 30+, Conjurer lvl 15+
Monk	Pugilist lvl 30+, Lancer lvl 15+
Warrior	Marauder lvl 30+, Gladiator lvl 15+
Dragoon	Lancer lvl 30+, Pugilist lvl 15+
Bard	Archer lvl 30+, Conjurer lvl 15+
White Mage	Conjurer lvl 30+, Gladiator lvl 15+
Black Mage	Thaumaturge lvl 30+, Pugilist lvl 15+

Thanks very much for the update. Always nice to get info like this.

Have to admit though, some of those reqs don't make sense to me. Oh well, I have all the reqs already anyway.

The secondary class requirements seem to be based on two things: the job for which it is the primary class required, and the main attributes that class uses for effectiveness. For instance, Conjurer is the main class for white mage, and their type of magic ties in with the magic a Paladin has historically used in FF.

For black mage, pugilist may be a secondary because it uses some of the same stats for its combat effectiveness.
