    Jobstones

    Pls make jobstones mandatory for any group content over lvl 40.

    Its not the biggest problem but its an unnecessary one. it happens here and there. People who forget to put in their jobstone. new people who dont know about the importance of a jobstone or even their jobquests overall. and people who want to do no-jobstone challenges.

    people who forget: if jobstones would be necessary they will see that when signing up. problem solved.

    new people: rather than through rude other people wouldnt it be better if the system tells you about the jobstone? i think giving them leeway til lvl 40 would be perfect.
    they could still do the optional lvl 35 and 38 dungeons, thats alright. the problms there are more on the mechanic side anyway.
    also put an infobox into msq for jobstones, similar to the infobox for the chocobo, crystal tower and shb role quest.

    no-jobstone challenges: make jobstones only necessary if you sign up without a full group. if you go random for a no-jobstone-challenge its not a challenge at all its just a bother to your group, respectless and unpolite. that way people can still make pre-made groups for those challenges.

    Make it 30 and make it so you can't accept the first lvl30 MSQ if you haven't done at least one job quest.

    Make it from Titan onwards, at the latest. Add a quest in the Company of Heroes chain where they mention that they could only entrust their secrets to a truly exceptional adventurer, prompting the player to get and equip their job stone before continuing.

    I agree with the sentiment, but make it Brayflox instead.

    That being said, I'd rather SE just completely scrap job stones and upgrade the class to a job when you do the quest at 30 since there is no purpose for them anymore since cross class abilities were removed forever ago.

    It's funny, I've seen players who forget their job stones have way better performance than those who spend the entire fight whining about it.

    Not saying it wouldn't hurt to put a little notice when registering for duties if someone forgets their crystal (similar to the low durability message). That's probably the least they could do to help mitigate most of the instances of people forgetting.

    I want to see people try do to hard content as classes. Savage or Ultimate, without any job stones. If that is even possible.

    To be serious, job stones should be made mandatory early on so you can't enter any instance past level 30 without one.

    They have, it's not really a test of their skill, but everyone else who has to pick up the slack.

    I've had an entire group without job stones in an ally raid once. Was not a good time for anyone else.

    You could still have that by allowing Non-Job stones able to queue while in a pre-made party, Which in fine with I think having a funny challenge mode with base Jobs could be funny

    In general this is needed, I've had outright trolls go as Gladiator on level 90 duties before, if someone is in late content practically Griefing the party then it's unfair on the rest of the group, also If you somehow "forget" your job stone then I think someone would rather be reminded to equip it then go through the duty embarrassed that i didn't equip a stone.

    I think if we are Realistic doesn't need to be forced at 30, but anything above 50 is a Must and the game needs to do you more to tell you that you can upgrade your job. Honestly by stone vigil is a alright starting point but I'm not too fussed if I see a level 44 Gladiator running around, it's more post ARR that it becomes worse and worse.

    People have done this for multiple different fights.
