Very New

[KaliGhostfire]

Hi, i just bought the game 2 days ago and i am level 15 currently. It came up early on that i could choose a second job or something and i can not figure out how. Any help for a noob would be appreciated, like how to get a mount or companion something lol i have no idea at all lol... But loving the game enjoying the learning for sure

You can pick up new jobs by talking to the guildmasters in the various guilds Like, talk to the guildmaster in the lancer guild to pick up lancer. The quest marker is blue with a + on it (quests with a + unlocks uptional things). All jobs level seperately, so if you pick up lancer it will start at lv 1. It might be a good idea to focus on one job for getting through the MSQ, at least to begin with.

The MSQ will unlock mounts for you, just keep doing the story. I think companions are unlocked through MSQ now too?

In each town there are multiple guilds, you can start a new class at any of those guilds (after you finish your first class's level 10 job quest, ALWAYS do your job quests when they become available).

Ul'Dah has:
Gladiator, a tank
Thaumaturge, a dps
Pugilist, another dps

Limsa has:
Maurader, a tank
Arcanist, a class that is initially a DPS, but later splits off into two class, one that's still a DPS and the other is a healer
Rogue, a dps (that cannot be chosen at character creation, you gotta unlock it after hitting level 10)

Gridania has:
Conjurer: a healer
Lancer: a dps
Archer: a dps
To actually change classes, you just have to equip the weapon of said class. Upon joining one of the class guilds, they'll give you a level 1 weapon, equip it to change into the class.

To reiterate an above point, make sure you are always doing your job quests when they become available. They unlock important skills that can't be gotten just from leveling, and, critically, at level 30 each class gets something important that you'll want to unlock right away (though you have to complete the MSQ quest "Sylph Management" before you are able to do so, said quest being a lvl 20 quest).

Not mentioned above, but if you have interest in crafting or gathering it works in the same way. You unlock changing classes by doing the level 10 quest of the class you started as, then you go to the guild youre interested in joining. Once you start unlocking multiple jobs, its highly advised that you set up gear sets for each. On the character window above the picture of your character and all your gear you press the button that looks like a single sheet of paper to open the gear set tab, then at the top of that tab you press the + button to create a new one for the class you currently have equipped. Then switch to the next class, put on all the gear you want to wear, and hit that + button again. This allows you to switch all your gear at once. Anytime you get an upgrade to your current set, you can press the button of 2 arrows switching positions(above your character, next to the gearset tab) and it will update your set to what you now have on(this also works if you keep the same gear, but glamour over it so it looks different).

As for crafting/gathering, Ul'Dah has:
Alchemist(crafter who makes wands and potions)
Goldsmith(crafter who makes staves and jewelry)
Miner(gatherer who collects soft and hard metals, along with rocks)
Weaver(crafter who makes cloth-based clothing/gear)

Limsa has:
Armorsmith(crafter who makes metal based clothing/gear)
Blacksmith(crafter who makes weapons and tools)
Culinarian(crafter who makes food)
Fisher(gatherer who collects fish)

And Gridania has:
Botanist(gatherer who collects wood and plant based materials)
Carpenter(crafter who makes spears and bows)
Leatherworker(crafter who makes leather based clothing/gear)

As for your other questions, continue following the main story questline. Around level 20 it will give you your "first" mount(it is possible you could have one before then from a couple sources, but they wont be usable until you do this), and unlock your ability to use/get more of them. Then around 30 youll have the option to unlock a companion. Just make sure you keep up with the main questline.
