    Barracks Recruits: Are some better than others?

    So I got into the whole barracks squadron thing just recently, and noticed that by completing entries on the challenge log you got new recruits you could choose from. Tried searching online about this and found nothing but question.

    Since you can change the class of any recruit you already have, is there any benefit to adding certain new recruits other than they look different? Don't want to miss out on a good recruit if I have one come my way.

    Thanks! That's a relief. Thought I'd have to keep recruiting until I found the best ones. I'll toss out one's whose looks I don't like now lol.

    That's all the healers in the later dungeons though. They doing that thing... CNJ in 30+ content... gitgudpls squaddies!

    Which is why I usually run healer with squadron now, I can still pull 2-3 packs of mobs and keep myself alive long enough to for the tank to get them off me. If I run tank, healer has trouble keeping me alive if I big pull, and if I DPS the tank isn't usually fast enough to get mobs off me when I try to big pull... (although as DPS I can kind of jank it if I keep telling the tank to attack different targets, but then I'm spending more time tapping that button than doing any dps...).


    My number one hope for future squadron updates is that they get access to job stones.

    Pick the ones you find visually appealing. If their stats don't meet your needs, you can always change their classes.

    The main appeal from what i've experienced along with others is that it's mostly cosmetic, and by that i mean very rarely you'll get some crazy-looking recruits dressed in either really stylish, or bizarre outfits.

    Or sometimes nothing at all! XD

    As others have said, they're purely cosmetic at this point.

    As you rank up further in your GC you'll be able to buy the books that allow you to change their classes with GC seals at your Grand Company. You'll also be able to change their outfits once they get to a certain level. Can't remember if it's 50 or 60.

    At which point there is only one real option...

    You go full bunny!
