Advice for a Newbie

[Soupyboots]

I've been leveling up Archery and Conjuror with the goal of getting Bard. I'm about to hit 30 with Archery, and have CNJ at 15. Should I take Archery all the way to 50, before leveling Bard, or just get on with my desired plan and go Bard at 30?

In hindsight, if I had to do it again, I would level up to 50 Archer first, then do the bard quests. When completing the level 30 job quest only to find you have to gain five levels and come back, is a bit disheartening. But if you turn in one quest and pick up the next, then you don't have to come back to the quest giver as frequently.

IF I had a regular party of fellows of about six or more players, I would like to do them as I'm leveling up and help out the party as well.

I might also recommend sneaking Conjurer up to 18 for the Raise spell to help with leveling up in party.

If you do them as you go, it does give you something to look forward to every 5 levels.

You won't be able to solo any of the battles but even at 50 there are ones you can't solo as BRD.

Level 45 quests are hard to solo though
And yeah level 18 CON will help a lot (plus it's extremely useful later in for certain battles as BRD as you'll be expected to raise if someone dies)

And one more time for good measure... hard to solo.

ITT taking sarcasm literally.

Also, if you're going to do the quests as you level, as long as you have a tank and a healer you should be fine (as long as they know how to do their role that is)
All of them apart from dungeons/final quests can be easily duoed/trioed as long as everyone is at the required level or higher.
