    Honestly, no. You need to have beaten the ARR post-2.0 quests and make it into Ishgard in HW 3.0 before you can get the Machinist job

    The trainer for machinist is in the city of Ishgard. You cant enter the city of ishgard until you finish a certain main storyline quest. You cant do that quest before level 50(and you cant do the MSQ out of order). So for now, no you cant become a machinist(or dark knight or astrologian) early. The jobs from the other two expansions can be unlocked early, but in those cases early means level 50 and level 60(for the level 60-70 and 70-80 expansions respectively).

    As others have said, you can’t even get to the guild without unlocking Ishgard, which itself requires you to to be at not only level 50 but also finish the 7th Astral Era questline (the one after you finish ARR leading to HW). Same applies for Dark Knight and Astrologian, alas, which was why it took me forever to actually pick up and level a tanking and healing class (granted I grabbed GLD early on hoping to level it side by side with PGL, but I gave up on that fast because I really wanted to power through ARR as much as I still enjoyed it).

    Alternatively you can just buy a job boost potion for MCH and skip all that.

    That too, but you're going to miss a lot of story since that also marks all job quests to 70 as complete.

    To say nothing of the fact you're denied the chance to actually learn your job before having all those actions dumped on you. But if you don't care about either, yes, do that. XD
