2 true stories about jobstones

When I was new I couldn't get past a particular job quest (during stormblood as a summoner). I knew it had to be a gear issue so I was questing trying to get upgrades and spending nearly all my gil trying to buy vendor gear. One day I was passing through gridania aetherite area and a lady asked me why at lvl 35 I didn't have a jobstone. I was tired and just flat told her the truth and how I was trying to deal with it. She went off and made me a set of gear for 35 and just gave it to me. I got through all my quests and got my stone immediately.

My sister tried the game. She was nearly 50 when I asked her why she didn't have her job stone her answer was "I want to be an archer and not a musician." Yeah we had a little talk about Bard and how she would still be a bow wielder.

There can be reasons people don't have it. I think many times its in how we ask why they do not have one that dictates the response.
