Current implementation of level 80 job quests

[RicaRuin]

While the game requires at least one set of level 80 role quests to be done, the NPC mentions only twice during the last level 79 story quest that he has some gear the could help us. After that, the game does not necessarily show them directly that that NPC has the item level 430 AF4 gear (the said NPC is only shown/marked as a vendor on the map). It may be easy for us veterans, but some newer players may overlook it rather easily.

After finishing the Quest, the info that you can get your Level 80 Gear from Grenoldt is right in the chat log. Even those skipping cutscenes and new players can read.

That aside, just as with Shinryu and telling people to do their job quests, people ignore advice. I like to hang out in Amaurot and tend to whisper those doing story about the Gear if I see they don't have it, but they choose to ignore it. Only thing that would help would be a Job Quest (not Role) that's needed to progress MSQ and rewards Gear.
