Question about New Jobs

[Fated]

I'm going off of what I've read from SE's posts directly, not some interview written by a third party and posted by another third party.

Pretty sure the wording that was used was "advance" and not "level up." That is what Umo is trying to say.

Regardless, these are the facts: JOBs do not level up, they are tied to the respective CLASS level. JOBs advance through quests in the form of exclusive abilities and gear.

I believe your wording is correct. You will be gimp by not doing the job class quests, which is what it looks like people are hoping for here.

A few members in my LS were discussing an article posted on an unofficial website in which an interview was held discussing the New Classes/Jobs to be implemented in Patch 1.21.

The aforementioned article stated that, as we all know, two Classes will be required to unlock the quest for the new jobs. For example, Paladin will require lvl 30 Gladiator + lvl 15 marauder.

Furthermore, I was informed that the level of the new job acquired would be equivalent to the lvl 30 job requred to unlock the quest. For example, Paladin, once unlocked and quest completed, would start off at lvl 30 due to the fact that GLD 30 is required to unlock it. If Gladiator is level 50 then Paladin will be given to the player as a lvl 50 job.

Is this true? Will we essentially just be given a "new job" at the lvl equivalent of the main Class necessary to unlock these new Job Quests? Or will we be given a new lvl 1 job to lvl through the ranks?

It is my personal oppinion that being given a new Job starting at the level of the primary Class required to unlock said new Job quest would be to he detriment of the playing community.

Thank you for your response.

Its pretty simple dude... This is not an advance job its just a remake of the old jobs. For advance job you're going to start from lvl1.

pretty much at 1.21 we ll get 14 class of choise instead of 7 and advance from those 7

Implementation of unique attributes for each job

so there will be some noticeable change and not only skill

To clarify further, while fighting as a bard you will obtain Archery experience points, because you are, in effect, still an archer. You've just specialised into a certain type of archer.

They said before that jobs will level up via quests. Pay attention, people!

You better listen to Mister Keebla!

But yea to stay on topic, it will be something like you become a Super Saiyan by equiping the Job Stone (no your hair won't dry).
Once you unlock the Job, you will have to do quests and unlock its abilities to be able to use 100% of your Job.

this is the 15th millionth time this has been brought up and its not gonna happen get over it.

Your job has no level, only your class has one. If you are GLA50 and you equipped the Paladin job stone, you are still a GLA50 but named as Paladin, with more defense, less strength attributes with new skills but less other class skills. Thats how I understood the job system.

Yes, I was afraid of this...

Essentially it is similar to WoW Job specialisation/individualization of the present Classes. I suppose this puts a whole other spin on the reintroduction of the point allotment system.

Oh well, I was hoping for new lvl 1 classes to level up but this'll do.

Thanks again for your responses.

I don't mean to troll but a link or dev quote would be nice, considering that everyone that has posted on this thread is essentially a third party posting heresay.

this is the 15th millionth time this has been brought up and its not gonna happen get over it.

Can you be a little more specific please? What is the 15th million time what has been brought up and what isn't going to happen? Get over what?

Jobs will be quest based and not grind based, so if you get at gla 50 you will get pld 50 buuut still have to quest for the pld abilities

I did some digging for rep quotes for you.

Jobs won't have levels and as such won't need to be leveled up. Jobs are an advanced form of the class that unlocks them. So for example purposes, a level 50 Gladiator would be a level 50 Paladin. (Example only!)

Also we can confirm that we'll be changing the term "ranks" (as in rank 50 Pugilist) to "levels" (as in level 50 Pugilist) along with the removal of the physical level. We'll also be changing skill points to experience points.

In summation:
Rank > Level
Skill points > Experience points
